National Batik Day

So in Indonesia, we do celebrate National Batik Day (Hari Batik Nasional) which fall on 2nd of October, by wearing anything that related to batik. 

One of the Indonesian cultures which I love the most is BATIK. :) but sadly to say that I didn't have much of batik collection. Every time I remind myself to buy some batik clothes when I am around at hometown but things just didn't go well with the plan. Okay this December I'm gonna go search for some of the batik collections. *pinky promise*

Today, even though I am studying at people's country, I still wanted to wear something with batik. If any of you happened to meet me around the uni, you can see that I wear the t-shirt with batik collar on it. Even one of my lecturer asked me about my batik tshirt. :))))

I still remember got one time, I need to do a sudden video recording with the saman crew (dancer) and we all decided to wear batik to represent our country, Indonesia. Honestly to tell you that I don't bring any batik tshirt with me here. What should I do then? I quickly go to borrow some batik shirts from my bestie. Because this bestie is a guy, so his batik collections are all the clothes meant to be worn by guys. I will show you the photo later. Hahahhaaa. That time, I am rushing and couldn't do much beside doing mix and match with the batik shirt. I wore it with black legging, brown woody belt, brown necklace, black tee and at last, I think I have successfully redecorate it to a shirt that also can be worn by a girl. HAHAHA. Mission accomplish! ;)

I then realize the first problem is
the design is really for man.
 the shirt of course is too big for me.
and the collar.
and the shoulder length which is very broad.

hahahaa it's really look at a man's cloth.
and yes! it is.
I borrowed it from my bestie. :p

but I love it.
It is so BATIK. :-)

because it's too big so it can cover until my thigh.
wearing a black tight legging is a perfect match.

hehehehe smile brightly after I found the idea
to mix and match it
and most importantly to cover it not to look like
a man's cloth. >.<

HOW?? :))))
I keep the collar inside of the shirt.
Smart right? hahaha!

Overall, I like it. :)
My friends who knew it told me that
I can become a designer already.
haahahhaa

Just wanted to share my funny but yet memorable experience about Batik with you the readers. :)
and to all of you who are abroad,
no matter wherever you go,
no matter what languages do you speak,
the fact that you are Indonesian doesn't change at all.
:-)))))
