Blazers and jeans
I came to work one day greeted by an awful sight. A student was wearing a school blazer paired with *gasp* straight cut jeans. Don't get me wrong, I love the blazer and jacket combo. It's cool, sleek (if you are a size 2 waif), chic and oh-so-modern. If the dress code here was spiffier (I mean trendy, smart casual, instead of T-shirt jeans/stiff collar work shirts. Yea the fashion here works both extremes only. Weirdness), I would have bought blazers of every color (except Brown or Beige. So OLD) and pair them with the skinniest pair of dark wash jeans I can fit into and a pair of high high stilettos. Go sizzle mama.
Inspiration for the look: Kate Moss
Running an errand never looked cooler...
or sexier. Spice things up with patent/leather for a date. Show him who's boss. *sniggers*
Let's start of with a nice piece, The Boyfriend Blazer, by Kate Moss for Topshop
Love the tapering at the waist. Now seriously, which boyfriend would get a blazer with tapering at the waist? (ok fine, it's made that way, but we need an excuse right?) The name is just an excuse for our guys to get this for us. And help out with the dry-cleaning too. Hehe
Now obviously, if we don't pair this yummy piece with something appropriate, the Fashion Police will lock us up and throw away the keys. So Princess Teddy randomly picked some other yummy pieces to go along with it. We don't want a lonely blazer now do we, ladies?
Calvin Klein Rose Stilettos, for a soft feminine look with a bit of bite
Or if you want a more femme fatale look, this Black knee-high Jimmy Choo stiletto boots would work... with a pair of hot denims and well-toned pins of course.
I know I'm suppose to find a pair of hot skinnies but I can't. Ok wait. I'm too distracted to. I mean, who can resist this sweet yellow dress (Kate Moss, Top Shop)?
Pair this lovely thing with the blazer and Jimmy Choos, you innocent devil you.
Damn, now I'm no longer craving for the blazer and jeans combi. Actually felt like rooting for the Blazer and skinnies only rule (which meant going commando underneath... but ooo hawt), but after looking at this dress, I'm going to go with a sartorial finish. As with anything I do. Hehe
This is the kind of style I like. A little girly, glitzy, tough and kickass. Amazing what different shoes can do to the same outfit.
Boyfriend Blazer by Kate Moss for Top Shop, Sleeveless Floral Top by Forever 21,
a glam number from Lerre, The Icon Collection in Black (although Ballet Pink can up the girlish feel of this outfit) from Rickard Shah, Christian Louboutin "Lastic" booties in black leather. Note that you need to be leggy and have a good wax before pulling this off. I think I'll wear black tights with this look. I'm very short, thank you very much *pouts*
Shoes taken from here. I was looking through Forever 21's site the day before when I found that grey top. Wanted to order online, but figured it's wiser to wait til SG ships it in (which would take forever, and if by then SG doesn't ship this piece in, the price would have fallen and I can still get it without blowing a hole in my wallet)
K i know I'm suppose to be working... But I'm done with the TV Proj! Hurray! Well, not done done, but done my part done. Just lazy to ask if there's anything else to be done (probably a yes)... Going off to slack more. Ta-ta~
