Christmas Classic

A Merry Christmas to all my readers!!! :)


Pink or Peach would be one my recommended colors for the Holidays. 


For the clothing style, I would say that Peplum dresses are still in. 
They are so versatile that you can wear them in various occasions. 
All you need to do is mix and match with your favorite heels and accessories. 


Since I'm just going to the mall and having a Christmas dinner with my family,
 I only wore few accessories and a comfortable pair of walking shoes.


The dress did all the talking

Bracelets by Forever21 and H&M
Shoes by Melissa

I hope that we all remember the true meaning of Christmas.
Let us find love and happiness in the company of each other.

Material gifts are just things. 
The more relevant ones are those that money can't buy.
Family, friends, workmates and of course CHRIST.
Smile and have fun! :)


Cheers!

Aztec

Skater skirts are known for their versatile and very flattering silhouettes. 
While there are a hundred of ways on how to rock a skater skirt, I chose to wear it a little different. 


Using a skater skirt as an accessory, I made my own version of a Peplum.
Peplums are overskirts or ruffles that are attached to a blouse, dress or bodice.
I wore a bandage skirt under in order to emphasize the Peplum effect.

The trick to getting very nice Peplums is choosing the right design.
This skater skirt from Soigné Clothing did just that.
Aztec prints have become the style du jour amongst stylish teenagers.
It's young, hip and upbeat!

Just remember that when it comes to fashion, one does not need to be conventional.
Mix and match while you're young!
And most of all, Have fun :)

Glitter in Black



"One is never over-dressed or underdressed with a Little Black Dress."

What I wore to today's meeting? 
A Little Black Peplum Dress!

As expected, people just came in casual attire. But as part of the event, 
I didn't mind putting some extra effort to dress up as an executive :) 
My dress in fact has glitters all over. Some are actually captured in the camera. 
Just pair your LBD with nude pumps and you'll look fab! 

I may be overdressed or whatnot, but I'm  happy that I did look great 
with the compliments I got from random people.

Solstice

After the long weekend, it's time for work again! Oh well, that's life! :) 

This is what I wore today at the office. I'm so glad there is no dress code. 
Well, setting aside the little No-No's such as wearing slippers and the like.
 But of course, when there are very important meetings, 
I make sure I dress appropriately to make that impression count.


This Peplum of mine reminds me so much of the Galaxy as well as Cosmic patterns, thus the Title. 
I just love how the colors Blue, Brown, Gold & Black mix well together.


Don't be afraid to choose designs like this. It can actually make you standout. 
You can also try Print over Print style of dressing. They are still popular these days :)

P.S. If you've missed out seeing me in my Peplum when I have to make that impression, 
here's my previous post: Hourglass

HourGlass

I dress according to my mood.
Today, I felt like Power-Dressing which simply meant going Corporate and trust me, it need not be boring.

Answer is simple. Wear Peplum
Peplum dresses are perfect for ladies who have hourglass figures (slimmer waist, curvy hips) or who would love to create an illusion of having one.

 What's great with Peplums is that you don't need to accessorize much as they can command attention on their own. 

What I love with this dress from Plains & Prints is that it's in Mustard with some shade of Gold 
(a color you rarely find)

This dress is called President for a reason and it's obvious why. Work doesn't have to be boring. 
Thanks to Fashion :)
