From Office to a Date Night

 

 

 

 

Dress: Wal-mart ($10), Heels: Shoe Warehouse sale ($15), Watch: Fossil (gift), Bracelet: Claire's ($3), Studs: Forever 21 ($3)

 

This is what I wore to office in the morning today with a white blazer and a messy hair bun (sorry no pic - but just use your imagination). After 5pm, hubby and I decided to head out for dinner with friends. Date night outfit entailed letting the hair down and taking off the blazer.

 

Isn't this the cutest dress? I have been having a weird luck with finding cute dresses at WALMART! Oh, forgot to mention it has pockets, and the coolest back EVER! right??

 

Happy Hump Day! :)

Orange and Hot Pink Combo

Tank top: Old Navy ($5), Skirt: RICKIs ($15), Cardigan: H&M ($10), Shoes: Steve Madden, Watch: Fossil (gift), Earrings: F21 ($3)

I am a big fond of prints esp colorful prints. Why? Bec they go with everything and this blog had taught me alot about choosing and using a piece of clothing to be versatile. I love it, I wore this top backwards for work appropriate look as the front is quite revealing but it might work for a fun date night out with hubby ;)

Its almost the weekend!! We will visit my hubby grandma, go to a indian concert, sunday to the temple and do some laundry. What are your plans?

Royal Blue and Grey Stripes

Top: Forever 21 ($5), Colored Jeans: Urban Planet ($15), Flats: Payless ($15 - old), Bangels: Forever 21 ($3), Watch: Fossil (gift), Earrings: Suzy Sheir ($3)

Colored jeans never fail me, they go with everything. I wore them yesterday to work for a casual friday outfit! All week I wore heels, so decided to give my feet a break too, so wore flats!

I am excited for a laid back weekend, hope you enjoy yours too!

Green Crochet and Jean Skirt

Green Crochet Tank: Joe Fresh ($6), White shirt: Thrifted ($3), Jean Skirt: GAP (thrifted via Value Village - $7), Sandals: Forever 21 ($8), Bracelet: URBAN ($10)

I recently found my jean skirt - one I thrifted 2 years ago! I love this one, perfect for summer. Decided to pair my crochet green tank and layered it with this white sheer shirt over it. Usually in the summer, I dont want to wear too many layers but this one wasn't bad as I was only running errands on the weekend. Cute and comfortable!

Happy Hump Day :D

Stripes and Wine (& Interview outfit)

Top: F21 ($7), Blazer: F21 (hand me downs), Skirt: CLEO ($20), Pumps: Steve Madden via Winners ($25), Watch: Fossil (gift)

I wore this to my interview recently, for a position I wanted to go into confidently so I put on my stripes shirt, a classic black blazer with an unexpected berry/wine pencil skirt. I think it always important to make a impression when  going for interviews if you dress up a little, show your personality while still being conservative.

Dressing good and feeling confident not only makes a good impression the moment they see you, it also helps you to answer the questions confidently. This was for a office based industry interview for a professional role in a municipality.

Would you wear this to an interview?

This is what I wore last week, kind of an unusual combo for me - Black, red and brown. thats one rule broken for sure - to not wear black and brown. I guess its not so bad hey!
