Black and blue... with leopard

If you are a follower of my blog, you would have noticed that I have quite a few items in my wardrobe that are animal print.

When I saw this top on the sale rack I had to have it. I had never worn it to work before and it's sleeveless. Enter the cardigan- the amazing wardrobe extender! 

The shoes I'm wearing I had had for a number of years and certainly did their time. I had worn them out indeed. This was the last time I had worn them. A moment of silence for my shoes please..... ^_^. It's really hard for me to let go of shoes. They have to really look bad for me to throw them out or give them away.

Cardigan- Old Navy (US$13, sale)
Top- Rainbow (US$10, sale)
Pants- H&M (US$3, thrift store)
Shoes- Nine West (US$40)

Mustard & Leopard

Who says that blue-grey has to be boring? No sir! 

I usually wear jackets on Mondays and Tuesdays at work and then wear button down shirts and cardigans on the other days; and get more casual as I get closer to Friday. I'm conservatively work casual while adhering to the dress code.

I had put this jacket and skirt together but thought it was a little drab. I didn't want to add another bright colour so I thought let me jazz up my accessories. Enter shoes! I love these shoes as they are leopard- hello!- and they are super comfortable. Fashion can be comfortable. 

Also this jacket was part of the uniform for the last place I worked at. I had already paid tax on it and it was mine to keep after I left. It was a properly structured, lined and tailored jacket so I kept it and wear it from time to time. Forget bad memories, I'm talking about having another weapon in my fashion arsenal. A jacket like this would cost me a pretty penny.

L&L- Lavender & Leopard

This is an ensemble from my "out of commission" days aka when I couldn't wear heels. 

I was feeling a bit low key when I selected the clothes but wanted to jazz up the outfit with my accessories. Leopard wasn't the first thing that came to my mind but with a limited selection of flats, I thought why not leopard. I am wearing a black pants and I tied in the yellowy colour with the belt and earrings. Voila!

Shirt- Old Navy (sale, S$14)
Pants- H&M (flea market, US$4)
Shoes- Bandolino (Marshalls, US$30)

Lavender & Leopard

After selecting this outfit I knew I had to jazz it up. I love these shoes as they are so stylish yet comfortable. 

I don't know why badly dressed people always say they dress in PJs and sweats for instance, because it's comfortable. Being fashionable can be comfortable! Or they say that it takes money to be fashionable. With a little effort and knowledge, being fashionable can be affordable. That is one of the main reasons I have this blog- to show women they can look fabulous on a budget. It's not about being vain or anything but it helps with confidence in one self. I always say if I don't feel good I might as well look good. At least that's one positive. ^_^

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)
