Holiday Style, Kota Kinabalu - Outfit Post

by Bex

I thought I'd share a few more of my holiday outfits from Malaysia this afternoon. After arriving at Mum & Dad's house in Port Dickson after a couple of days in Kuala Lumpur, we had dinner and a sleep before getting up early for more travelling the next day! We flew to Borneo for a few days to go diving and see the orangutans.

I wore my comfy but smart maxi for travelling there. It is only a 2.5 hour flight so it was easy to travel light.

Dress - M&S

Bag - Zanzibar

Necklace - Accessorize

Bracelets - Forever 21 and H&M

Watch - Guess

Hat - modelled by Mum - Primark :)

On our first night in Kota Kinabalu, we went out for dinner and a couple of drinks. I wore my new dragonfly dress which was a last minute impulse buy the day before we left, I love it!

Dress - Dorothy Perkins

Bag - M&S

Espadrilles - Schuh

Earrings - Vintage

Watch - Guess

Bracelets - H&M & Dorothy Perkins

The next day we went diving so I wore my coral jersey bubble hem dress which is perfect for throwing over a bikini. It also means I don't have to worry too much travelling back in a soggy bikini so I don't have to worry about packing a change of clothes as it has two thick layers and dries quickly.

That night we got a bit more dressed up for dinner as we went to a lovely place, Kudos, for a nice meal. Cue the trusty coral maxi with new accessories.

On our second day we went to the fabric shop and the mall for a fun day of shopping! Mum wore her new polka dot maxi dress she bought next to the hotel the night before and I wore my comfy teal menswear shorts from H&M with my floaty vest and blingy necklace over my rainbow bikini.

That evening we were all a bit tired so most of us stayed in the hotel to eat (Nik and Dad went exploring for something more Malaysian to eat). I had a quick change into my £7 sale find maxi dress from H&M with my new bag bought in the craft market across the road, new shoes bought in an outlet shop in the mall that day and tribal accessories.
