Black Body--- ASOS
Black Jeans--- TopShop
Distressed Leather Charcoal Colour Men's Belt--- Gap
Red/Orange Bag--- Chanel
Sheepskin Gilet--- Karl Donoghue
Black Patent Heels--- Tom Ford

 

1. BLOUSE
I showed in a previous post the same blouse from Miss Selfridge but I wore it in the salmon pink colour the last time...you can see here I have  paired it slightly differently. I like pieces that have a lot of VERSATILITY- the blouse is the perfect example..I've worn it long and untucked as well!

2. GILET
And so is my gilet for that matter! You may have seen in a previous post how it unzipped and it gives a totally different look... and when it's zipped up, it creates an amazing collar...YES, IT'S THE SAME GILET! (Click here to see the gilet.)

And for people who have been following my blog =), you'll recall I mentioned about how I like to match 'hardware' but I don't make it a rule....See here! GOLD sunglasses vs. the SILVER chain on the bag! Doesn't clash!

Black Jeggings--- ASOS Petite
Black Body--- Wolford
Sunglasses--- Tom Ford
Grey Bag--- Prada
Grey/Purple Loafers--- Tods
Gold Watch

 

Just a random side note to start! I forgot to mention that on Monday I was walking around Oxford Street with my sister while she was visiting in London and I had a photograph taken by COSMOPOLITAN magazine for a new concept cover they will be doing- a mosaic of many faces apparently...maybe I'll be a tiny part of one of their covers coming up! Will keep everyone posted !

This mint coloured blouse is the same style as the salmon/pink one I wore from a previous post! You see how long it is here? I would usually never EVER brave this untucked and in this way unless I was wearing either skinny jeans or leggings. I would otherwise be totally swamped and drowning in the excess volume of the blouse!

I love the tone of the mint green, like a MINT ICE CREAM colour (which I sort of mentioned in a previous post 'Ice Cream and Glossiness'). The combo of the mint green and the pastel grey/purple I adore!

Useful Tip:
When wearing something loose and unfitted- balance out your proportions by wearing something fitted on the legs!

Blue Cotton Blouse --- Dolce and Gabbana
Black Jeans--- Topshop Petite
Brown Leather Belt- Gucci
Brown Leather Bag---Mulberry
Sunglasses--- Tom Ford
Mint Green Loafers--- Tods

Instead of going  for obviously brown shoes to match the belt or the bag, I've gone for MINT colour- soooooo this season- on my feet! I love the tone, the colour, the shape of the shoe- just everything!

I love the details in the blouse from the necktie to the collar (where it buttons-see how the shirt comes together) to the cuffs!

I must admit, D&G blouses don't fit me properly in the sleeves- so believe it or not...if you take a look in these photos...I have actually FOLDED the cuffs once,  then buttoned them together from the insides turned out (confusing explanation i know)!

I think I've done a good job making up for the fact that I'm too short for D&G...I think the sleeves look all right =) !

Useful Tip:
Keep hair off the face when showing off a special detail around the neck area.
