A new outfit from Annette Hoeldrich of Lady of Style, whom we introduced to YLF in January 2015.

The black top with gold floral embroidery gives this elegant look a luxurious feel that is perfect for a special dinner or evening out. The sleeveless top is more fitted up top and then gently flows out over Annette’s hips. This silhouette works well with the tapered, ankle-length trousers, while the cut-away shoulder line emphasizes our blogger’s toned shoulders. Ladylike strappy sandals echo the gold in the top. The silky trouser fabric further amps up the dressy factor. With the intricate embroidery there’s no need for lots of accessories. A thin gold bangle, simple earrings and woven clutch with metallic sheen — that adds textural interest and picks up the gold in the outfit — do the trick splendidly. Annette’s sassy shorter ‘do and soft make-up are the stylish icing on the cake.
