I WOKE UP LIKE THIS!!! - Birthday Edition

Hello dolls! Today's post is pretty exciting as it's my birthday edition. I obviously had to treat myself to a super stylish outfit. I chose to make a slick evening dress which turned out perfect for the day's main event.

'The boo' apparently had a romantic evening planned for just us two :x . I got a text from him that evening that read: "A red carpet awaits you outside your gate, take your time, dress up and TURN UP!". So I promptly complied and when I stepped outside he was in a not-so shiny armor and I was whisked away for dinner. Please bear with the greyish pictures; they were taken indoors in low lighting.

The dress is an emerald green silk evening gown. It's floor length and has a tail behind. I chose to make the sleeves asymmetric; sleeveless on one side and kimono-ish on the other side. It is made more dramatic by the pleats across the bodice in the front and the back. A gold embellished trimming runs round the waist of the dress to give it a more dressy look and also to break up its monotonous appearance. A black finger ring clutch with gold trimmings and gold jewelry completed the glam look.

Hello dearies, for today's post we'll highlight how to take an ensemble from day to evening and/or night with just a few tweaks. We start with a red peplum bustier paired with a burnt orange textured bodycon pencil skirt and a coral blazer. A corsage is added to the blazer for added pizzazz. The vibrancy of these similar colours is toned down by accessorizing with nude peep toes.

This outfit can be made more formal by accessorizing with court shoes.

To dress up the outfit for an evening out with the girls or a date, the bodycon skirt is replaced with a rust coloured sequined one. A simple change of earrings, a matching rust clutch and make up more suited for an evening out complete this look.

Alternatively, if you are going to a venue more suited for it, the blazer can come off leaving the peplum top and the sequined skirt for a chic or less formal look.

Hope you have a fabulous valentine day!!! ;)

Hey dearies, hope the week is going well. Today's post is a valentine day inspiration; something red to celebrate the day. I have paired a red pussy bow, three-quarter sleeved blouse with a leopard print midi skirt. The skirt is high waist and sequined.

The outfit combines two very feminine pieces; the pussy bow and the sequined leopard print. This is one of the best ways to wear animal prints; pairing with a bright non-animal print piece. The bright colour helps to take attention from the print and tone it down. Other colours that would work well with animal print are emerald green, pink, yellow, orange and pastels. The look is completed with nude shoes, a black bag and an animal print thin belt.

Hope this inspires your valentine day dress up!!! :)

Hello dolls, so I might not have mentioned how much I love prints but I guess it's pretty much obvious from earlier posts. Today's outfit is a floral pink and nude print wrap jacket paired with simple black pants. The jacket has an asymmetric hem in front and is cinched in with a sash of the same print. Although it is collarless, there is a single flap that gives it a sophisticated twist.

The outfit has been accessorized with a brooch on the flap and nude wedge shoes. The wedges are a comfy break away from your everyday heels and work really well with this jacket.

The jacket could also be worn with a pencil skirt and heels, or a pair of skinny jeans for that 'casual Friday' look. Here's to staving off the mid-week blues with this cheery print! ;)

Hello dolls, keeping with the theme of black and white print, today's outfit is an animal print, wrap buttoned-down dress. It is made from tweed and has shoulder pads to give it a structured blazer-like look.

It has been accessorised with an orange neck scarf as well as bag that bring a bit of colour to the outfit and also blend with the buttons on the dress which are equally orange. The belt is an optional extra which helps to cinch the waist for that fitted yet sophisticated look.

Bring on those client meetings!!!

Monday

Hello dolls, I bet you all have been doing great. It's been a minute, I know, but you'll understand why in a bit. I'm particularly excited about the series of posts that will be featured daily on this blog for the next week. I have tagged it "Monday to Sunday"; a style inspiration series best suited for the working-class woman of style. Although not every outfit or styling is universally suitable for every work environments, you can incorporate some of the pieces in the dress code permitted by your particular work environment.

So for the first post; "Monday", we paired a polka dot buttoned-down shirt with puffy sleeves and a monochrome stripped midi skirt. This is a print on print combination that works for a number of reasons. Firstly, while the top has white dots on a black background, the colours are reversed on the skirt (black stripes on a white background). Secondly, the polka dots are small while the stripes are bolder giving the whole outfit a visual balance. Finally, black and white are such classic colours that they hardly go wrong combined.

The black shoes are an ideal complement to the outfit as the cuffs are perfectly positioned to show off the legs under the midi skirt while the red bag adds a pop of colour that ties the whole outfit together.

There will definitely be no Monday blues with this outfit.
