Top: thrifted Just Jeans red pleated shirt from AWLQ jumble sale
Skirt: Review 'Ziggy' polka dot pencil skirt
Belt: Kmart thin black glitter belt
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs patent mouse flats
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Balenciaga Coquelicot Velo
Amazed that it's been over a year since I last wore this shirt! It's a great piece for work, it's just that I tend not to wear shirts often (I have about 10 button up shirts that have never been worn in years!) as I hate ironing them. Moving to a casual work environment where I don't need to wear shirts every day plays a big part in it too.
Tried to make a bit of a peplum effect by leaving the shirt un-tucked and belting it, but I really wasn't sure if it worked or not. Kept changing my mind throughout the day, haha.
Last worn: Red shirt, black glitter belt, polka dot pencil skirt, patent mouse flats, Balenciaga Velo bag.
Here's what I wore to work today:
Necklace: Dogeared 3 Wishes stardust bead necklace
Dress: Jeanswest Aztec print dress
Belt: Asos metal keeper skinny waist belt in bright blue
Shoes: Wittner 'Bolla' black bow detail flats
Bracelets: the usual
Bag: Marc By Marc Jacobs Classic Q Fran bag with gold hardware in carob brown
Had a presentation to do today, so I went for comfortable favourites to wear. And luckily, the dress and bag pair together well! I've worn them together before. Usually I'd go with heels to give myself a bit of a confidence boost, but as it was predicted to storm quite badly I thought flats would be the best for navigating wet pavements!
Linking up with Fashion Informant, Spotlight Weekly today.
Last worn: blue sunglasses, Jeanswest Aztec dress, Asos blue skinny belt, Wittner black flats, Marc by Marc Jacobs Fran bag.
Love both of your outfits. Glad you got in before the rain started, I've read that storm was pretty bad. Bet you enjoyed the cupcakes! sparkle2day.com

Love that cute peplum effect wearing style lol it's quite a brilliant way!! I completely understand about dressing more cSually! I feel the same way. I have became so lazy at even buttoning up my top so I tend to buy tops that don't require me meek than 2 seconds to put it in hahaha :)
ReplyDeletehaha! Clothes should be comfortable and easy to wear though, they are much more fun that way! :)
DeleteI love your marc jacobs bag!

Marc Jacobs mouse flats are the way to go for work (& for any occasion actually!) I'm trying to get more use out of clothes I haven't worn for ages. It's my goal instead of buying new stuff all the time- you just reminded me when writing about your lovely shirt.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm trying to focus more on what I already have, and less on accumulating new things! trying to downsize, but I find it tricky. I can at least slow my purchasing :)
DeleteCute cute cute!
