Vintage oriental charm

You certainly do not want to wear a cheongsam in March and have people teasing you with "Still in CNY moooooood? CNY's over, sweetieeee! Hee hee hee!" So what does that leave you with? Are cheongsams limited to be worn only Chinese New Year? (when everyone else is wearing it, yawnnn...)

Pick a cheongsam that's in an unconventional CNY colour (no reds), bears non-CNY prints (no pussy willows, phoenixes, firecrackers, mandarin oranges), and one that isn't OTT unless you're the Dowager.

Here's a pretty choice we found today:

In a lovely shade of sea green, this cheongsam sure won't invite any sort of teasing because you're going to look so comfortable in it. If you think it's too plain, what about pairing it with one of your favourite belts? :-)
