PEACHY PERFORATIONS

In my professional field, we use accent elements like perforated panels to create quite a stir in the landscape; to generate some interest.  This blazer just reminds me of those interest-generating holes.  The cut of the peach blazer is somewhat formal but the little perforations brings some casual note into the ensemble.  I like it because it made the blackness of this outfit a tad lighter and a whole lotta breezier!  The truth is, this outfit is a very last minute choice because I was not really feeling well during this day.  Black is always my go-to when I don't really want to think so much about what to wear; and then I build up the ensemble from there.

WHAT I WORE:

black sleeveless top from SONIA RYKIEL

black pants from ZARA

peach blazer from MANGOHOUSE

obi belt from flea market

pearl necklace from my mother

eyewear from MIU MIU

bag from NINE WEST

wedge shoes from CHARLES & KEITH

watch from LOCMAN

COLD SHOULDER AND STRIPES

Who said you can't combine a colourful top and a loud print?  I say you can as long as the colourful top is in a solid colour.  Some cool details like a zip metal front and a cold shoulder would not hurt either.  This top is actually a cropped one which I matched with a high waisted pants to make it more appropriate for work.  I couldn't barge into the office with my navel in full view right?  Baring the shoulders seem more acceptable, of course.

WHAT I WORE:

cropped top from H&M

striped pants from H&M

bag from NINE WEST (gift from Nelsie)

necklace from KARMA

wedge sandals from an ONLINE SHOP (sorry forgot the name)

eyewear from MINISO

earring from BRUZ (freebie during a Christmas party)

SKIRTING THE ISSUE

Slim cut skirts always give off that certain office vibe; make it a high-waisted one then it becomes more cosmopolitan chic.  I have been waiting for a less cold weather to wear this skirt again and finally, today is the right day.  It was raining this morning though but nevertheless, it has been warm enough to wear it sans winter tights.  I have 2 meetings today which explain the more office looking get-up.  I paired the clothes with boots to add a more youthful and edgy look.

WHAT I WORE:

black turtleneck from SASHA TENOR

lilac vest  from TONG YU

high waist pencil cut skirt from FOREVER 21

boots from ABUSIVA

bag from NINE WEST

That red dress and the Harry Potter Cape

Just another outfit shot before I went to work.  I call this my Harry Potter coat because it does look like a sorcerer's outerwear, right?  Kidding aside, this coat is one of my most versatile pieces and it is not expensive at all.  I like the irregular cut so much especially when it is closed which I might feature someday with another style.  As for the red pleated dress, it is actually a sleeveless dress of mine that had been with me for the longest time.  I just put a matching red turtleneck on top of it to keep me warm.  It was a cold day when this was taken.  The apricot coloured bag is a gift from a good friend of mine.

WHAT I WORE:

blue asymmetrical cut cape from an online shop here in China

red pleated dress from MANGO

red turtleneck from ZARA

obi belt from a flea market here in China

apricot and beige tote from NINE WEST

knee high boots from ALDO

And this is how it looks like when its front is closed.  It actually becomes a whole lot of different coat.

and it is very warm, I tested it in Chicago when I went out one night with minimal clothing underneath.
