I took a break from posting my WIW last week and thought I would skip this week as well - I just don't feel much inspired lately with my crazy work schedule. Honestly I am so tired for working overtime for over a month that it is hard to get excited over anything.
However I have changed my mind mid-week and here they are with some fancy names
pic 1 - Stripes and Lace
This is as bomb-shelly as I can go while still feeling like myself. I wonder if this belt would be better in low contrast color...
pic 2 - Leggings and Oxfords
I hoped that my hair is enough to bookend my black leggings here...:-)
pic 3 - Almost White-out
This was my favorite of the week. I LOVE this white Melanie Lyne blazer, especially paired with these white Express trousers: almost a suit. Last time I paired them with a black tank for a bit of drama but this time I was drawn to less contrast and wore a silver lurex tank. I only wish the tank was a bit longer though. I don't get many compliments at work (male IT environment, you know) but this day I got quite a few. The most interesting was from one guy: "you look like you are ready to rock the stage today"
pic 4 - Bold Pattern and Bright Bag
Trying to get more wear out of my summer dresses before summer is still here. This is my first piece with a bold and bright pattern and I quite like it. I also like how I can wear bright turquoise (which is not my best color) in a pattern with white and black and it suits me better than the solid color.

This was another favorite from this week. First I wanted to wear an indigo blue silk tunic with these BF jeans, but something was off. Then I saw my Tahari white button down and thought its sharpness would contrast nicely with slouchy jeans. I also threw in my chunky pearls, white studded belt and nude wedges to keep it simple but interesting. I am surprising myself how I like to semi-tuck with BF jeans - something I never attempted before. I think I understood why today. First semi-tuck is more flattering for fuller hips with a low rise jeans - gentle curve instead of a sharp straight line. And second to keep the top tucked in with low rise it must be a tunic length: normal length tops just don't stay tucked for me. With a semi-tuck this problem is solved!
This was my week and thanks for looking. Have a great weekend!
