Sparkly Power Monday

I love dressing up for work-you have to pay more attention to the 'dos and don'ts' and you have to be careful not to come across too OTT for the job you have and the work environment you're working in. It's always best to stick to the basics, crisp and clean.

I am pairing a simple star printed satin blouse with my good old boucle jacket(the most versatile piece in my wardrobe-hands down!) and black pants. I have used a night gown sash to create a little statement tie-up bow. Imagine the possibilities! ;) You can use different colors, lace and ribbons..Isn't experimenting while dressing up fun!

Also, remember I had mentioned about 'glitter shoes'. Well, here's one of my creations.. I have painted the bottom of my pumps with glitter and mod-podge to create a subtle sparkly flutter when I walk. 

The world is your stage, go create a flutter! Happy Monday! <3

Pastels and pearls

I love soft pastel colors. They're so feminine and elegant! So when I saw this blazer, I just couldn't pass it up! I decided to pair it with my mint tights to break up the nudish-pink hue of the outfit. Being soft colors, I think they complimented each other!What do you think?

Spring aria

So, the groundhogs have predicted an early spring this year!We've been experiencing lovely weather in the bay area. Just perfect and pleasant. A little chilly in the evenings but perfect for a dress during the day.

To welcome spring, I am sporting a nude pink lace bodycon dress and some nude pumps. The winter goodies are showing on me now aren't they ;) Keep smiling! <3

A yellow pencil skirt offers exciting new ways to experiment. I wore mine with a black satin top that seems polka dotted but is really mini-starred. A bright orange tote to up the power quotient, some polka dotted d’orsay pumps and pearls to finish, this is how I dress it up! :)

Plaid and my sister

The plaid trend according to me, was set by my sister. Really! Long before plaid became a staple in one's wardrobe, my sister sported them , day in and day out..So this look is a tribute to my sister-the bestest in the world!

I have had this skirt for a long time but was never satisfied with whatever I paired it with. When I got myself this flannel shirt, my dilemma was solved!I wore this for a night out.Has the skirt been done justice to? :)
