HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

It's that time of the year again, when the lunch crowd gets lesser and traffic gets lighter as I drive to work every morning. With less people in the office, I find myself dressing more casual as we enter the holiday season. This lace printed sheer silk dress is girly and flirty at the same time. It was my first purchase from Shopbop about 2 years ago and I have been hooked since. 

I'll be off for a holiday myself, stuffing myself silly with great food, shopping and challenging the ski slopes. In the meantime, have a very merry Xmas. Happy holidays!

SHINE IN CAMO

I'm not one who frequently go for on trend pieces, but I couldn't help picking up this waffle knit camouflage sweater top while taking advantage of a sale on Shopbop. The obvious way to wear this is casually with denim, but I like to make this more office worthy and more fashion editor-ish by pairing it  with a shiny PVC skirt. The look is instantly more polished. Throw in a skeleton cuff and it ups the grown up grunge factor by yet another notch. The weather is turning chilly even in a tropical country like Singapore, perfect weather for sweater tops like this!

MEET THE MIDI

I never thought I'll want to wear a midi skirt, but seeing how lots of people are rocking it, I succumbed to temptation and got myself one. It wasn't a straightforward decision to make. I was afraid that my petite frame will be swallowed up and lost in the big skirt. However, I took the plunge and ordered a faux leather one online. To save myself from drowning in the big skirt, I paired it with a simple fitted T-shirt with a frill detail to add some fun to the outfit. Finally, I finish off the look with a pair of hidden platform pumps for the extra height! How do you like this look? Have a wonderful week ahead!

THE CHRIS HEMSWORTH DRESS

Sexiness doesn't have to be in your face, and subtle sexiness can be worked into your office attire. Although this vibrant colored dress is of very respectable length, ending below the knee, the sheer silk material hints of what lies underneath as you walk against the light. The slit down the middle flaps open slightly as you walk, revealing some skin and upping the interest factor. Now, you must be wondering why I call this the Chris Hemsworth dress. A few months ago, I ran into Chris Hemsworth in Hong Kong, and took a picture with him while I was wearing this dress. If you're a fan of Chris Hemsworth, below is the picture I took with him (pardon the grainy picture as it was taken with my phone under poor lighting). Have a great week ahead!

LEATHER FOCUS

Leather is not the most obvious thing to wear in this tropical climate, but with fall and winter collection everywhere, it's hard to ignore this luxurious material. I got this fitted and buttery soft leather top in a pale pink colour, a divergence from the usual black for leather clothing. It may be simple, but it certainly catches people's attention, as I have been asked by a couple of people the first time I wore this. To channel a quiet elegant look, I paired this with a olive coloured pencil skirt. Have a great start to the week!

RUFFLES

A ruffle top is an easy way to inject femininity into an outfit. If you don't like an overly girly look, opt for more basic colors like white, black and blue, just like I did with this piece. The thick shoulder straps keep the top from looking too sexy for work, and you can always throw over a jacket or cardigan if you need to look more formal. I love how it adds some drama to the ensemble without looking over the top. Perfect for those days where you have a special dinner to attend after work!

PAINT THE TOWN RED

I love bold colors, and I wear bold colors to the office pretty often. To offset the strong color, I'll opt for simple designs and clean cuts. I like the loose fit of this dress, which makes it look more relaxed rather than over the top, which can often happen with bold hues. The subtle pleats at the front and folds at the back of the dress gives it a slightly origami feel. Definitely a conversation starter!

PIXATED

A simple form fitting dress is really a working girl's best friend. Not only is it so easy to wear -  there's no need to wreck your brains over how to match top to bottom, but it's appropriate for all sorts of occasion, whether it's a regular work day, or a day where you have to meet clients or a dinner date. A perfect fit is the key. I had mine altered so that it hugs me nicely without being overly stifling. It doesn't cost much a bring the sides in slightly but that little piece of work makes all the difference. Hang in there for the weekend!

THE SCARF TOP

I always love a good blue. When I first saw this top, I fell in love with it. Not only because the color is so beautiful, it's so effortlessly classy as well. There's basically a scarf attached to the collar, and it's totally up to you how you want to wear it. No matter how you choose to wrap it around your neck, the look is still fluid and chic. For this look, I decided to keep the rest of my outfit in warm neutral colors, jazzing it up alittle with the studded heels. This is one look I believe will still look good a few years down the road, and hence the very pieces I'm happy to invest in. Have a great week ahead!
