Mixed Prints- Polka Dots and Stripes

A few days ago, I decided to try my hand at mixing prints. Because this concept is new to me I chose to take baby steps. We all know that you can never go wrong with black and white so I decided to use that as my base colour.

If you know me well you would know that I love polka dots..I just adore that pattern and I recently bought this skirt at JC Penney and was dying to wear it.

I added the red belt to achieve a little pop of colour. I hope that you all like the final look! PS I apologize for the background, my husband is my photographer and he does not take his job very seriously lol.

Thursday Workflow

Oh my! It's been such a long time since my last post, I have missed you guys tremendously. Like I said in my last post I recently landed a new job and boy is it demanding! I find myself in the office until 8pm on most nights. Nonetheless, I have been able to take a few outfit shots.

I wore this outfit a week ago to the office. It was Thursday and I was really stressed out so I decided to brighten my day. I had this skirt for quite sometime and never wore it, so I decided to pair it with some bright pieces to uplift the look.

Please note that I am not very good at posing for pictures..lol

All Black Everything

My husband decided to take me out to dinner as compensation for "family time" lost due to him working  the  entire weekend. For our night out, I decided to wear my black and white polka dot dress from Forever 21.

Dress: Forever21 (available here)
Shoes: Clavin Klien (similar here)
Earrings: Forever21
Belt: Local Boutique

I paired the dress with a green belt, I was thinking about using red but decided to try something new.I also wore a pair of Calvin Klien heels that I bought at Macy's and studded heart shaped earrings from Forever21.

What I love most about this dress it the open back  which gives it an extra sexy feeling. 

What do you think?

Interview Outfit

I experienced such a difficult time searching all over for the right outfit to wear to my interview. I loved the suggestions from my fellow bloggers primarily the navy blue pants suit idea so I decided to follow that advice. However, I could not find a navy blue pants suit anywhere, I also considered wearing a navy blue pants with a nude coloured blouse and my coral and nude heels from the previous blog. I searched all over again and could not find any navy blue trousers.

Fortunately, my mother in law was in New York for the Memorial Day weekend and went searching in NYC for my outfit. She could not find any navy blue pants or pants suit that I liked. However, she did find a super cute Calvin Klien little black dress that I instantly feel in love with. I received the LBD one day before the interview and had to do some last minute shopping to find some accessories and heels to go with the dress.

I am very disappointed that I was unable to wear my coral and nude pumps to the interview, however I am very pleased with the outfit that I wore. Nonetheless, I intend to continue searching for the perfect navy blue trousers to go with my coral and nude heels.

First Interview Footwear- Traditional or Modern and Unorthodox

I have a job interview for the position of Business Analyst at a successful company in less than a week. Its a big opportunity for me and I am very excited. But, I am undecided on "what to wear", my present work wardrobe consist primarily of dresses. I love dresses, and I recently bought this new pair of heels from www.justfab.com and I am dying to wear it, so I want to base my outfit around them (shown below).

Coral and Nude Coloured Open Toe Heels from justfab.com

However, my husband thinks that  it is not appropriate for a first interview and I should wear a colour that is more traditional like black or brown. I love my husband but he is killing my swag lol! My husband works for his parents who own a chain of urban clothing stores. Their stores are know to carry the latest trends and sell urban brands such as  Arami, Prada, Gucci, Baby Phat, Nike etc (mainly in men footwear and clothing). They also carry the latest trends in female clothing and footwear (I got the coral and brown colour block wedge that I am wearing in my last post from one of their stores).  Due to his line of work, my husband thinks that he is Michael Kors. He is constantly trying to pursue me to wear clothing that don't truly reflect my sense of style. That's the main reason why I started this blog, I want to showcase my style and get feedback from my fellow fashionistas.

Now back to the matter at hand, what do you think about my choice of coral and nude open toe heels for a first interview? Should I go traditional with a pair of black or brown pumps or modern and unorthodox with my justfab.com heels? BTW, the shoe is so comfortable! I love them.

I am looking forward to your feedback!

Shorts- "when and where to wear them"

My husband and I recently went out to watch a movie (Avengers) and have dinner. However, we had a huge argument over my outfit (shown above) as he insisted that I should not wear shorts to go to dinner (it was a semi formal Italian restaurant with no formal dress code). He believes that shorts are only appropriate for the beach and going to the supermarket. I totally disagree, I believe that when styled appropriately shorts can be used for most occasions. Don't get me wrong, I would not be caught death wearing shorts to a wedding or graduation ceremony. However, I do believe that shorts (of an appropriate length) can be worn to most semi formal events such as dinner and a movie. 

Ladies, what do you think?
