Black & Red

I love this jacket. Why you may ask? Well it's not heavy nor bulky and it's lightweight; and especially because I got it and such a great price- US$10!

I've also worn it here.

If you follow my post, you know I love wearing black but sometimes I have to add a bit of colour and this jacket was perfect!

Happy Easter!!!

Today is Good Friday. This Christian holiday commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. 

I love Easter colours- pastel & bright yellows, pinks, greens, blues, etc. 

I love these shoes and truly don't wear as often as I should. I actually bought them last year Easter on my trip to New York. 

In this outfit I wanted to wear pink and green but in different shades.

Dress- gift
Sweater- Gap (US$13, sale)
Belt- Agaci (US$5)
Shoes- Guess, TJ Maxx (US$40)

I love these shoes ^_^

Have a safe Easter!!!! Don't eat too much bun & cheese- everything in moderation.

Seeing circles

I love love love love love wearing black & white. I have had this dress for years and have never worn it (like some other items in my wardrobe). It's a nice dress. It's a great way to wear a pattern.

I thought about wearing it with a jacket to make it more work appropriate but then I thought I'd add a skinny belt and voila!

I love coral. I thought of adding a red belt but that's so expected & I wanted to be a bit different. The dress wasn't too tight or too lose & the belt accentuated my curves. 

I had selected this outfit, as I normally do on Sunday, and wore it on the day of my company's staff meeting. I got so many compliments & felt great.

It's funny, I take all almost all of my pictures after work when I get home. No time in the mornings but I still look decent at the end of the day :p.

Dress- old (from Mommy)
Belt- Agaci US$2.50

Leggings: friend or foe?

I am ‘bottom heavy’ to say the least, so when the leggings trend hit the fashion world I wasn’t too keen on them. Not to mention the printed ones. Leggings really though is just long tights- as with many things in fashion, it's just a twist on a previous trend. I am pretty wide and didn’t think I leggings were for me as I don’t like clothes that are that fitted and accentuate all my curves and I mean all of them.

I did buy the plain ones and felt comfortable wearing them with long tops that cover my butt at least. Like Kourtney Kardashian, I have to “CTC” (Cover the Camel). I don’t want to look like the Prancerise Lady with a huge camel toe.

It took me a while to be brave enough to wear leggings not to mention wearing printed ones. I loved the tribal prints and kept seeing girls wearing them and after a while I bought one. I went to AGACI in Sawgrass Mills and the store clerk had on a pair. My mother suggested that I get one too as she looked good in it & they were sold in the store (there is something to store employees wearing clothes sold at the store- living mannequins). First off I was like, I’m bigger than her, it might not look so cute on me but she insisted and even bought a pair for herself. To my surprise they actually stretched enough to fit -thank God for stretch material, as they also help to keep everything in check ;).

The moral of the story is don’t wear something because it’s the thing to wear now but wear what you are comfortable in. On the other hand, sometimes we have to go a little outside of our comfort zone.

Well I kind of was still in my comfort zone as I wore a long top ^_^.

Conclusion: Leggings are a friend if you are comfortable in them.

Wore this to a Retro party YUSH 2012. Thought I looked the part, kind of a 80s Dancehall look.

German connection

I love this mustard skirt. I started the outfit selection with the skirt, then chose the red jacket, then needed an inner blouse and chose this black one. I kept thinking what is red, yellow and black... It wasn't until doing this post and googling the colours did I realize that they were the colours in the German flag. Go figure! My mother went to Germany couple years ago and said the countryside was so beautiful.

I wanted to not wear black shoes with the outfit so upon looking at my collection I decided to wear my leopard flats. My feet wear hurting also from working out the day before so I didn't want to wear heels. 

Skirt- Seamstress (US$10)
Jacket- Agaci (US$10, sale)
Inner blouse- Rainbow (US$5)
Shoes- Merona at Target (US$25)

Express yourself don't repress yourself....Watermelon

I was feeling for colour on top & bottom when I chose this outfit. Sometimes I try to tone down my outfits for work as conservative is the name of the game in my industry. That mostly translates to boring & plain. 

I try to jazz it though & break the mold and be different thereby expressing myself. I have tried to add a lot more colour to my wardrobe in the last year. In my previous job I wore uniforms and was highly limited but I showed off my fashion sense through my shoes. 

In the words of Madonna "...express yourself don't repress yourself..."

Top - Agaci (US$10)
Skirt- Seamstress (US$10)
Shoes- Nine West (Mommy's)

Grecian goddess

Forgive me on the title , it may seem like I'm full of it, but it was the look I was going for when I put on this dress. 

I was on my way to a party- Daydreams 2012. Daydreams is a traditionally beach party but this venue wasn't exactly at the beach but had an ocean view. Patrons could come dressed in beach wear or a little more dressed up- not the clubby kind of party dress code-wise. I wasn't feeling confident enough nor could I bother with wearing swimwear. I paired the dress with some coral and peach gold earrings for a contrasting effect.

Also hadn't worn my Michele watch I got as a gift. Too expensive for every day wear, I had it for a while and thought why not bring it out for this party.

Dress- Charlotte Russe (US$10, sale)
Slippers- Agaci (US$20)
Watch- Michele (gift)
