Casual Friday

Here is another outfit that features my recent obsession of the coral color. Bought this pair of pants from H&M couple of weeks ago. I love the relaxed, but overall not too slouchy fit. Perfect for a casual day.

I wear button down denim shirts very often (as seen here and here).  They are one of the essential piece in my closet. In fact, I own quite a few of them in different styles and different washes. I love how wearable and versatile they are, which can be easily dress up or down.

Coral Love

My closet consists of a lot of black and white pieces, but if you look closely, you'll see a splatter of colors everywhere. My recent color crush gotta be coral. There is something about this bright red orange color that really caught my eye. When it came to pairing this coral pleated skirt, I kinda played it on the safe side. I did not even bother to attempt color blocking. Instead, I chose a basic blouse to go with the bright color.

Back to School

I took my little sister to school supply shopping today. Seeing her getting ready and excited for the new school year made me miss those good old days. I have put off the study towards my CGA designation ever since I was pregnant and I will defer it for another year. I really look up to my co-workers who have young children, working full-time and still manage to finish their studies.

Anyway, back to my outfit for the day. Although I have perfect eyesight, but I do own a few pair of eyeglasses. They not only come in handy when I am too lazy to wear makeup and to cover my tired eyes, but they also make great accessories.  I have a small face and a flat nose, and it gets tricky when it comes to buying eyeglasses or sunglasses. As much as I love to try on new styles, I tend to avoid oversized, squarey frames. I purchased this pair a couple of months ago, and initially I was quite skeptical about them since they were a tad too big for my face. I was contemplating whether to return them for the longest time but ended up keeping them. Looking at the pictures now, I am so glad I kept these.
