Weekly wear - 05/18-05/22

This is what I wore last week to work. This outfit below I wore on Friday. This boucle jacket is perfect for a highly airconditioned office!







And here is my Thursday outfit - sailor pants with swinger navy cardigan and white with navy trim top.






Tuesday I wore Ann Taylor navy dress with white print, with thin orange belt, nude shoes, and fitted Joujou jean jacket







Monday was a day for Jones New York suit: warm pink jacket with black skirt and thin black belt, coral shell (also worn on Friday under the boucle jacket), and coral shoes

Improvising more with the knee boots. This time I tried them with beige Vertigo mini skirt. Added some color with coral top and accessories are the same as in previous post. Below is the back view

Brown knee boots with pencil skirt

One out of the 100 items every stylish woman should own is knee boots. If the boots are knee length, they are best worn with a skirt right above the knee.

I like wearing knee boots with pencil skirts. This one is a brown striped Bebe pencil skirt with a front slit. I am also wearing Lucky Brand jewelry and B. Makowsky bag. The white shirt is by Patrizia Pepe. Personally I prefer wearing the shirt out instead of tucked in, but this shirt is way too long for that. I guess this outfit could definitely use a belt. I'll probably think it over and add some color to amke the outfit more fun.

By the way, the brand of the boots I am wearing is Ditto by Van Eli. Made of stretchy material with leather trim. Perfect for a cool sumemr or fall evening

Purple and lime green

Mixing the colors from the opposite sides of the color wheel. One of my favorites is purple with lime green. Originally I wanted to wear this dress with wide lime green belt but could not find one that I liked.
The dress is Nine West. Princess seams and a full skirt, off white and purple print. White Enzo Angiolini sandals, Lulu Townsend clutch and short sleeve cardigan - Pink Rose.

Mod

This is my illustration of style Mod. White sheath Theory dress with low heel bronze shoes (my version of flats), metallic circle necklace, and oversized brown frame bag.








Actually some ballet flats would be ideal for the sheath - frame bag combo, Twiggy style, but unfortunatelly I never wear flats and low heel was all I am willing to settle for :)

Euro Chic

Recently I've read "Lucky Guide to Mastering Any Style" and decided to post my own version of ech of the 10 styles using whatever I can find in my closet. The first one is Euro Chic.

Here is the casual version next to a dressy version. the dressy one is what I wore few days ago for 70's-80's party. It was pretty tough to come up with something that even slightly resembles 70-80's outfit since I am more of a 50's-60's girl myself.

The dressy version is a polka dot silk Valentino dress with Enzo Angiolini white heels, black faux crocodile print Liz Claiborne purse and white hair ornament. I think this dress is very Catherine Deneuve! :)

Yellow shorts

To folow up on the rule of each piece of clothing to pair up with at least 3 other items, here are my yelow Bebe shorts with 3 different tops: Coral Eileen Fisher tank, peach Due per due tank and Ann Taylor faux wrap shirt.
