Mesh with White

Hello everyone! It's been weeks since I last posted an outfit. I've just been really busy with priorities. So, for this outfit I decided to go all white again when I went to the baby shower of Matt's teammate's baby. I want to congratulate Julian & Des for having a cute baby with full of swag like his daddy. For sure baby Justice will bring joy and happiness to their lives.

Complementary Hues

Have you ever found yourself stuck in a style rut when all you can think of wearing is black or white? How about playing with fun color combination to liven up your wardrobe? For today's style post, I'm trying out mixing cool and warm colors. Playing with colors can completely transform your look from winter to spring, spring to summer and so on. 

If you don't know some of the color theories, I will share one to you now because it is relevant to some aspects of style besides clothing as well. The color theory that I applied on my outfit is the "Complementary Colors" theory.. These are the colors that are directly across from each other on the color wheel.

Check this out:

Because of their high contrast, they complement each other as the name implies. To make it easier for you to decide what colors to combine, start with a primary color as the base which I chose to wear my blue pleated maxi skirt from CERTAIN THINGS and complement it with orange layered necklace and GOLD SMITHS GRANDAUGHTER bangles. To balance the colors, I wore my white mid-corset with floral prints that I got from CLOTHES BUFFET MANILA. FEET HER WELL comfy white ballet shoes and rose gold hand bag from BAGELLA NI TATAT to finish the look.

So would you wear orange and blue together? What do you think of my outfit? :-)

Every Cloud has a Silver Lining

And yes! Every cloud has a silver lining. If we take the literal meaning, then yes even the darkest cloud has a silver lining & nature can prove it. I really don't like it when its gloomy and rainy, it's just depressing. This time of the year, the weather's kind of bipolar so it's really hard to decide what to wear. In my experience, I went off in the morning with a bright sunny day and just wearing a tank top and shorts then all of a sudden, the rain poured in the afternoon. Bugger!

I'm sharing this proverb because it contains a very deep wisdom that helps people get through with the difficulties they are facing. After the bad days, good days follows. We may face failures but it's the only ladder to success. Channeling optimism through my blog.

Dark & gloomy days place me in a dark mood while sunny days make me feel bright & happy. And so I thought of a better way to brighten up my wardrobe on a gloomy day with a flash of metallic. You can definitely shine on in a metallic frock or even from head-to-toe and you'll surely look bedazzling. 

When I saw this THE URBAN HOUR silver skater skirt, I told myself it has to be mine. I thought this skirt is a statement piece. Metallic color & skater skirt style, two of my favorite things in one. I think I have an unconscious thing for metallic stuff especially silver and gold.

Pair the silver skirt with a top appropriate enough for work & festive enough for a cocktail party afterwards. I chose to wear one piece that I love from my corset collection and covered some skin with I LOVE KIMONOS white kimono. I got this lovely corset from THE BRAND TRUNK.

Since I'm wearing pearl earrings, I paired it with this impressive EIGHT 8 AVENUE Onyx Necklace that enchants the whole outfit with its beautiful facets.

These comfortable MONICA LEE wedges will take you from a busy day at work to a casual night without ease.

Again, every cloud has a silver lining. I certainly agree to this proverb. Have you seen the Silver Lining? Literally & Metamorphically? Remember, there is darkness in your life but the sunshine is all behind you.
