A little late on the trend....but better late than never right?

Striped Chiffon Shirt: F21 ($10), Pants: Suzy Shier ($15), Blazer: Thrifted via Value Village, Flats: Payless - old ($10)

As you all know I recently started a new job, I was quite apprehensive about wearing red jeans for my casual friday. I sat quietly at the office until my boss called me "Trend setter". Out of all people, I did not expect my boss to come around and say something about MY.RED.PANTS!

Well tsk, tsk! its better than her freaking out on me I supposse! I sweat-ed the small stuff all morning and I asked my hubby like 3 times if I should wear them or not. He somehow convinced me it still looks conservative.

Navy Stripes and Pink Blazer

Dress: Old Navy ($10), Blazer: Thrifted ($5) via Value Village and Shoes: ALDO - $20 (old), watch: Fossil

I recently picked up this beautiful summer dress at Old Navy (I meant picked it up online for such a steal)! a few weeks ago! Its navy and white stripes but looks black on screen. Paired it with my pink blazer for a punch of color in the outfit!

Hope y'all had a great weekend! :)

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!

Today was a rainy day and cold - consistent with what weather man said, so reached for my tan pants today. Its cute, comfy outfit and kept me warm - just what I needed this morning. Funny how clothes provide comfort to us too! The sun will be out tomorrow! :)

Yay, tomorrow is Friday and LONG weekend too!! :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?

First Date Night as Hubby and Wife

After the photoshoot, we decided to take a spontaneous date as a married couple ;)

I tried Banana Split for a first time and loved it. Ryan is trying out the greek salad and made suggestion that I should learn how to make it.

Dressing down a pencil skirt

This is what I wore to office for a casual Friday wear. I absolutely love the color of this skirt and last time I wore it with a white blouse tucked in with a skinny belt. But this time around, I wanted to wear it with more of a casual outfit.

Now, I can get more uses out of my pencil skirts! Hope you enjoyed both dressed up and dressed down look below!

Oatmeal and Coral

My sis (in-law)-to-be asked me if I wanted this sweater and there is no way I could say no, Especially bec I have been eyeing to buy EXACTLY this same sweater in the store. It is such a cute sweater,bright color adn pretty soft for 100% wool. She found it itchy but it was ok for me with a tank underneath. I wear a tank underneath anyway for extra warmth.

Its not only so soft and comfy, but its FREE - haha I love a good deal. Well, it is actaully a great deal, Thanks M!

This bright colored sweater was perfect for a cold day like today! I regret wearing the necklace though as the beads got cold fast! Ah, you live and learn!!
