WHITE AND PRINTS

I like the colour white because of its simplicity and cleanliness.  However, it is difficult for me to wear one as I always end up dirtying it because of my clumsiness especially whenever I eat.  Since most of my day's work today will be in front of the computer,  I decided to wear my white blazer for a change.  This boxy jacket had been with me for quite sometime yet I had only worn it for about 3 or 4 times.  Why so?  the textile is only appropriate for early spring or fall weather primarily because it can be too warm for the summer and too cold for the winter.  I like the shape of it though; that structured geometry that seems to complement dresses and skirts.  I have paired it with an olive green printed dress to liven it up a tad bit.

WHAT I WORE:

boxy white jacket from ZARA

printed olive green dress from H&M

white choker necklace from H&M

bag from an online store

white shoes from BELLE

And we are back to cold weather again folks! Cold, gloomy and wet are a deadly combination for me.  It makes me grumpy and sad mainly because all I want to do is cuddle under the duvet.  So  to brighten my disposition somehow, I opted to wear a bold graphic colorful print from H&M and I am crossing my fingers that it works and cheer me up.  I have been itching to wear my new pointy booties but to do so in this cold weather is like suicide.  Ergo, the knee-high boots to the rescue once again!. This reliable pair of boots have braved the cold autumn winds of Chicago so I am pretty sure it is comfortable enough in spite of the short dress I am wearing today.

As I have mentioned in my previous posts before, I always try to balance loud prints with structured geometry to make it appropriate for work. In this case, the coat given by my hubby make a reappearance but with the attached collar this time.

Don't be a scaredy cat when it comes to prints for work.  Just try to keep most of your ensemble in one color family so it wouldn't be as ostentatious. Loud prints can actually bring some vibrance and vitality in the office most of the time so go on and GET YOUR PRINTS ON!
