WHAT I WORE IN HONG KONG ♡

My wardrobe selection for my Hong Kong trip was a lot more organised than previous holidays and I can’t tell you enough how relieving that was. For once it felt like I had something together in my life.

I knew nothing about the fashion in Hong Kong so I went on Pinterest to get some inspiration. I decided to go with mainly a pastel colour scheme and began ordering pieces online to create my wardrobe capsule. As my orders gradually arrived, I hung them straight up on a separate clothes rail I have and wrote down in notes on my phone which outfits i’ll wear on what day (depending on the activity/weather). I really enjoyed doing this! It also meant I wouldn’t over pack or have the dreaded “what am I going to wear?” scenario. The only thing I ran out of was underwear..oops!

After my usual “Good Morning Instagram” stories, I would receive a lot of messages asking where my outfits were from so I promised to get a blog post up as soon as i’m home. So let’s get straight into it. PS - Accessories and discount codes will be at the end x

DAY 1 - Walking the streets. Of course our luggage didn’t arrive with us because a trip wouldn’t be complete without a story from The Useless Travellers to tell. Thankfully it was there at the hotel in the morning when we woke up. We were just going to roam the streets to take it all in until we were able to check into our Air BnB so I opted for a basic white tee and denim skirt. The tee comes in 4 colours, are great quality and wash REALLY well so i’ll be buying all 4. Caasi Boutique Tee here (other colours available) // Pockets Clothing Skirt here

DAY 2 - Hello Kitty Secret Garden and Victoria Peak This was probably my favourite outfit I wore which i’m sure you can tell by the amount of photos i’ve posted in it. Very light and breathable considering hot damn hot it was that day. I wore a little crop underneath because I didn’t realise how see-through it was going to be. The white espadrilles were SO comfortable I wore them nearly every day, I think i’m going to get sparkly ones next. Cassi Boutique Pants here // Billy J Cami here (other colours available)

DAY 3 - Nan Lian Garden and Choi Hung Estate We met up with a friend of Alex’s on this day so we hadn’t properly planned our activities. If I knew we were going to the gardens I would have worn a softer outfit and packed something separate for Choi Hung Estate. It’s so colourful that a plain outfit would have worked better against the backdrop. The dress I wore was comfortable though and kept me warm when it rained on and off that day. I’m definitely going to get a lot of wear out of it. Something Trendi Boutique Dress here

DAY 4 - Big Buddha on Lantau Island Back to basics because I wanted earthy tones in my images. A long sleeved shirt was a bad choice though because we ended up doing A LOT of walking, I should have packed a singlet. On the plus side I was the only one that didn’t get sun burnt. PS - with the skirt they are quite generous, mine is a size 8 and it’s quite big on me so I need to get a belt, or I may have been able to get a size 6.

DAY 5 - Lok Wah South Estate This day was dedicated purely for visiting all the top Instagram locations and we only made it out to one. It was by far the HOTTEST day we experienced that we got the shots we needed and left before we passed out. Top was a basic cami from Zara // Billy J Pants here

DAY 6 - Ladies Markets I pack a play suit or a jumpsuit on EVERY trip I go on. They’re so comfortable and easy to wear. I couldn’t wait to wear this one and thought it was a fun choice for the colourful and busy ladies markets. Something Trendi Jumpsuit here

DAY 7 - Typhoon Mangkhut A not so glamour day for obvious reasons. Even though we should have stayed in doors we went out exploring and ended up at Graham Street which is famous for their street artwork.

DAY 8 - Strokes Indoor Golf We went here purely for the pink walls then decided to stay and play golf which was SO much fun! I chose my outfit to match the interior but wish I packed a second choice for the rainbow coloured golf course. Cassi Boutique Shirt here // Style Palace Skirt here

DAY 9 - Coffee Hopping and Shopping If there’s anywhere you’re going to get away with wearing gingham styles, it’s in Hong Kong. Pair it with a teddy bear face mask and wallah! You look like you’re off to a teddy bears picnic. Secretly this was another favourite look of mine. Basic White Tee // Pockets Clothing Pinafore Dress here

DAY 10 - Alexander’s Birthday in Macau Outfit repeater (except for the top) because we may have had a late night and I wasn’t feeling too great. The casinos in Macau were cold though so I wish I bought a little jacket with me.

DAY 11 - Disneyland OH MY GOSH IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOO FREAKING HOT ON THIS DAY! Disneyland is literally in the jungle, there was no cloud in sight and the sun was beaming right down on us. My shirt was drenched and I regretted not wearing a cami instead. It also made sense to wear my “Minnie Skirt” for the occasion. I wanted a black bumbag for this outfit but couldn’t find one I liked anywhere. Forever New Basic Tee // Caasi Boutique Skirt here
