Here's what I wore to go sightseeing with my grandparents:
Necklace: Nibbly Bits Abacus necklace in pop
Tee: Atmos&Here 'Amalphi' luxe grey tee
Jeans: Jeanswest Super Skinny Jeans in Mid Indigo
Shoes: black slim Havaianas thongs
Bag: Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene 30 speedy bandouliere (with Coach feather bag charm)
The style challenge was 'your most flattering trousers', which worked out well as it was a bit of a cooler day and jeans were perfect. Spent it by the sea with my grandparents enjoying the sea breeze, and having a really nice lunch. These skinny jeans have to be my favourite - bought this same style and wash in the maternity range when I was pregnant too. I have a lot of skinny jeans but these always look good, definitely my most flattering pair.
This is the second time I've worn this grey tee since I bought it in December, so my purchase review:
I really like this tee! As I mentioned when I first wore it, I do have a lot of grey tees. But I like wearing them! It was hard to wear this twice in January after buying it in December, only because I was doing another style challenge and a grey tee wasn't one of the prompts, ha! I'm pleased I bought this tee, and I'll get a lot of wear out of it, but I'm starting to think I should stop buying grey tees as I have so many...
Last worn: grey tee, skinny jeans, Havaianas, Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere.
Here's what I wore to go out for dinner with my grandparents:
Dress: gifted boohoo.com paisley print dress in bodycon
Shoes: Balenciaga studded sandals in sorbet RGGH
Bracelets: the usual plus Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
Bag: Miu Miu cammeo studded clutch bag
The Style challenge was 'be outrageous in a good way'. Bodycon dress with studded accessories felt outrageous. Made me glad that one of the breastfeeding singlets I'd picked up during pregnancy was a nursing shapewear piece from Jeanswest. Although there was no chance of breastfeeding in this dress, I enjoyed the 'tummy trimmer' feature of the singlet!
My mum picked up this dress for me on one of her op-shopping (thrifting) trips with my grandma. I've never owned anything from bohoo.com before, and it's a size larger than I'd usually wear, but it was just the right size for me. Reading the tag, I thought it might look a little loose on me and I could belt it, but I can't imagine trying to squeeze myself into my normal size in this! Maybe that's why it was donated to the op shop. It is a really cute print, but I'll continue to need to wear shapewear underneath it! Was a nice dressy option for dinner with my grandparents.
Last worn: Balenciaga studded sandals, Miu Miu clutch. First time I've worn the dress.

What a fantastic outfit in that printed bodycon dress. That is my favourite with the studded clutch. You look great Mica, I'm sure it was perfect for dinner. Enjoy your week. xx /Madison

You can pull off both casual chic and elegant. I like that you still add a bit of casual to your elegant dress by pairing with a pair of sandals instead.
ReplyDeleteFelt the dress was a statement enough on it's own without adding heels! :)
DeleteYour dress is gorgeous, but I love your bag too!

The dress look is va va voom but still very elegant, and classy! You look AMAZING in it. The clutch is something special too. Happy new week Mica. XOXO, Elif

What a beautiful body con dress! It's def a bit more than what I'm used to seeing you in, but certainly not a bad thing at all. You more than rock this look! (:

Oh Mica, shut the front door! The bodycon dress rocks and you look lovely in it! I personally have never tried shapewear (I get hot very easily lol) but I imagine one day I will probably need it lol
ReplyDeleteI was quite warm in this, thought it was the dress more than the shapewear but maybe a combination of both! The shapewear nursing tank has been super-handy post-baby! :)
DeleteGreat abacus necklace!
ReplyDeleteMarie @ In Our Happy Place
Both are beautiful looks! I love the necklace and the bag in your casual look. I also love the print of the dress and the clutch!
ReplyDeleteJessica @ Sunny Days and Starry Nights
I really like the bodycon and brown clutch! Great look on you Mica! xx
ReplyDeleteI too have many a grey tee but that didn't stop me clicking through to the Iconic to check that one out . . .
ReplyDeleteIt's a terrible addiction I find, I'm always looking at and buying more grey tees, haha! :)
DeleteWow, you are a stunner in that dress, Mica! You are totally rockin' it, and I seriously doubt you really need shapewear - you look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteBTW, thank you so much for your sweet comment the other day - I really appreciate it. :)
Aww thank you Sheila. I'm glad you liked my comment. I'm really pleased! I like supporting you through your blog :)

Mica, one can never own too many grey, white or black tees! Hehehe and that dress, what a find. I've only purchased once from there and I found it to be more on the larger side which is interesting. I always presumed this was the case for their clothing but now I'm not so sure. Maybe it's just a thing with bodycon in general? Regardless that is a gorgeous dress

It could just be bodycon in general! this is the only bodycon piece, and the only boohoo piece I own so I really can't say!
DeleteLove that black and grey top, so casual and cute! Also loving that dress, the print is fab!

Wow! You are killing it in that bodycon dress! I love the details on the purse and the print of the dress :)
ReplyDeleteI've been eyeing off that grey Atmos&Here tee for a while. Looks fab on you!
ReplyDeleteCx
that second look with that printed dress is GORGEOUS!!! you look amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteAnimated Confessions
I actually like that the dress is not absolutely skin tight. And I am still in love with that necklace! The grey tee is quite fab too with the color blocked bits at the sleeves and the high neckline.
ReplyDeleteAlex - Funky Jungle
Thanks, it certainly felt skin-tight to me! ha! I tend to favour looser styles anyway :)
DeleteThank you all for your lovely comments :)
ReplyDeleteI like your Bohoo bodycon dress, you wear it marvelously well.
