ROXY New Batik collection and Breast Cancer Awareness Month

3:39:00 PM

A lot has been going on in my life lately.. if you've been reading my blog you'll know that I've been through a lot of things these past months, starting from those days at the hospital due to my aunt who got sick, and then she passed away and I have to help her funerals and all, and then I got my brother in law's wedding and cousin's wedding preparation where I help organized it. And then just this weekend, my hubby got hospitalized because of the Dengue fever, poor hubby.. And I've been spending most of my time at the hospital since then, that explains my lack of posts and a big apology to that.

Now I only got a few little hours to update my 2 blogs and catching up on emails so here's a quick post for you.
Remember my last post about Roxy new Batik collection where I received 2 items from Roxy? Well, to refresh your memory here's what I got from them:

2 items of clothing from ROXY's new Batik collection

I already wore the left "Mega Mendung" one last Saturday which is our National Batik day. And then I wore the pink one on Sunday as a part of "Blogging for Breast Cancer A-wear-ness" challenge hosted by Melissa from A Working Mom's Closet.

October is Breast cancer Awareness month so Melissa held a styling challenge to raise awareness, the challenge is to simply wear (at least) one pink item every single day during the month of October. The pink element doesn't have to be a main piece, it can be pink shoes, pink belt, pink accessories, etc. If you don't have that many pink items in your wardrobe (like moi ;p) then you can participate for only a week, or maybe 2 weeks, it's up to you. I myself will try to wear pink or pink elements for at least 1 week :)

One of random facts about me: my mom was a Breast Cancer survivor. So that's my main reason why i participated in this challenge. I will post my challenge outfit in this blog to help raise awareness for Breast Cancer. Starting from Day 1:

I already explained in my previous post how I love that Roxy include a tag with a history fact about the specific Batik pattern in each clothing item. Such as this Batik Kawung buttoned-down tunic that I received from ROXY. This batik pattern called "Kawung" is one of Indonesia's traditional batik pattern. Here's what it said in the tag ( i shortened and edited it a little bit):

"Kawung is a kind of palm tree having eclipse-shaped fruit named "kolang-kalilng". It is believed that it's motif was created by Sultan Agung of Mataram. The ornament consist of four circle in the middle, that symbolizes four sources of energy that surrounds the centre of power, God that rules every direction.

Like a palm tree that can be used from root to leaf, the motif brings hope that the user will be given strength to rule well and have a meaningful life."

I love the pink Kawung pattern, it's a modernized kawung pattern so it looks hip and chic and trendy. Remember how I just said in a post several days back that it's been a troublesome journey for me in trying to find a fitted buttoned-down top, because it's always either too big or a tad to loose. And just a few days after publishing the post, I received my ROXY package and there it is, my pink batik buttoned down tunic that fit perfectly to my body!! Oh my, it was like an answered prayer!! :D This buttoned-down tunic has a perfect length, perfect fit (no loose fitting here!), got a cute wide cut at the back (i love a surprising detail in the back of a top), and it's pink!

It also has a cute little button detail in the sleeves. Me likey a lot! ;D This is a size 4 (it's the smallest size they have which is for size Small). The price tag for this one is IDR 295.000.

There are also other version and styles from Roxy Batik collection, from men's and women's clothing to kids clothing, batik sandals, etc. Here's a sample of what you can get at the Roxy counter:
