Aurience peplum top, $43.90 (launching soon) and Fetryne foldover skirt, $39.90, from Love, Bonito
Love the clashing prints and how they don't go, yet go, together. A sure way to stand out from the sartorially-safe masses this CNY.

Brianda top ($36.90) and pants ($46.90); Lauren top ($39.90) and Auria skirt (TBA) from Love, Bonito
Here's a brocade 'cheongsam' with a hip, modern twist, in the form of a cropped top and pants combo. The outfit on the right pairs a grandma-approved red cold-shoulder top with that skirt. We'll be getting our paws on that asymmetrical beauty when it launches.

Hummingbird brocade cheongsam, $400, from The Missing Piece
Love the cut of this brocade beauty — streamlined on top, but with plenty of tummy expansion space for all those pineapple tarts you'll be over-eating. And how dynamic and pretty is the hummingbird print?

Alice printed dropwaist dress in Auburn, $69.90, from Yacht 21
Also forgiving on the waist is this girly frock from Yacht 21. We like that the collar looks like a mandarin collar but is not, and the understated print that will take you from CNY party in Feb to garden soiree in June.

The Su Lin in Sambal Tumis, $988, from Ong Shunmugam
