Layered



layered and comfy

During winter, layering is necessary for comfort and warmth.  However, one has to know which pieces work with each other so as to avoid looking like a stuffed bear.  For me, I usually mix flowing lines with a structured base; probably an influence I got from designing projects at work.  I keep it simple by keeping most of my ensemble in one hue family; in this case, greys in cool tone.  And then I usually add a splash of color or a different texture for contrast and an interesting twist.  Here, I mixed the dark brown scarf in the outfit so I wouldn't look too washed out because of the monochromatic colors.  Well, as for my hair; it is in a top knot because I am too lazy to comb and blow dry it.  A few minutes more and I will be late for work.

THE SHIRT DRESS

I love multifunctional clothes.  This tunic can actually work several ways.  It can be worn with skinnies; tucked out or tucked in.  It can also be worn on its own like a dress; the way I did here.  I threw one my hub's vest in the ensemble for a grungier look.  I have worn this one autumn day so I had to wear high boots to keep me warm enough.

WHAT I WORE:

pinstripe shirt dress from H&M

black vest from the hub's closet

knee high boots from ALDO (yes I love this shoes a lot)

pandora bag from GIVENCHY

3 piece-linked silver cuff bangles from H&M

another time I wore this to the office but with a different pair of shoes

if you like the look here are some links to shops that offers the same shirt style.
