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?

Teal and Leopard (Reception Weekend)

Shirt: Costa Blanca ($6), Pants: Suzy Shier ($10), Flats: Zellers ($8), Bangles: Forever 21 ($3)

I love these pants mainly bec they are ankle pants but more bec they go with everything. This khakhi color is so classsic! Teal shirt is so pretty with chiffon, lace and cute buttons on it and with some leopard mixed in - you get a perfect friday outfit for work - oh wait, but I am off today! ha ha

It is our wedding reception this week, we got married in Feb this year in India but this is party part 2! :D

I cant wait to see you all my in-laws family, my own family, friends, and me and my hubby all dressed up, it is going to be so much fun...all the girls get henna done tomorrow and my mani/pedi done too! and to top it all off, I am so thankful to have these beautiful times being brought in my life.  

White Chiffon and Pink Blazer

Blouse: Smart Set ($10), Blazer: Thrifted ($4), Pants: GAP ($15), Necklace: Wal Mart ($3), Watch: Fossil (gift), skinny belt: borrowed from another skirt

This pink blazer is turning out to be quite versatile. I recently wore it here and here. It cost me like nothing at my local thrift store and I have already got my money worth out of it. I also feel I got it last year just for the sake for having pink blazer in the closet, you know. Little that I knew the year after, H&M would have a blazer like this for $40.

Lesson learned: don't throw clothes away fast, the style might return again! Like the jean jacket trend.

Peach Chiffon

Top: Smartset ($10), Pants: Smart set ($20), Daisy Earrings: F21 ($3), Watch: Fossil (gift), Cream Wedges (walmart - $10)

Hope you had a good weekend. This is what I wore last week to the office, luckily for us the weather is warming up nicely here and hopefully can start wearing skirts to work in the coming week.

 I got such a good deal on this peach chiffon blouse, it is very airy and has some cute details in the front and lace on the shoulders!

Bridal Shower (in Photos)

Last weekend, it was my bridal shower. I have never been to one, so I youtubed it for an idea and thats all I could expect. My mom-in-law to be decorated the whole place with green and white theme...it looked so pretty, we also had yummy food and drinks and surrounded amongst family and friends is all I could ask for. I dont know exactly but I probably had million gifts to open (not complaining! hehe). My mom really enjoyed the party and I am so greatful that R's mom was willing to do ALL the work.
I got alot of kitchen stuff that I cant wait to move out and start our lives together!
