salmon

I've been planning to pair my favorite white, slouchy button down with my pair of pleated salmon pants. I just never got around to it til now.


This is one of those comfy, no-brainer outfits. But using the colored pants just added a little something unexpected to this look.





And how about this for unexpected - I decided to pair with my sandals instead of pumps. (I don't care much for sandals, tbh.)

I was wearing: Cotton On button-down shirt, pleated pants from Zara, sandals from a random shoe store in Athens.

nautical

Bought this striped tee a long time ago from H&M's men's. Finally got the chance to wear it!


The striped navy is begging for a nautical look. So paired with my red skinny pants.


The tee almost looks like a women's blousy top and I'm super in love with it. 
Finished off the look with my black TOMS. 
All I need is a yacht and I'm ready to head off! ;P


Navy + red is such a great combo! 


BTW, today is Singapore's National Day. Happy 47th birthday, Singapore!


I was wearing: Forever 21 skinny jeans, striped men's tee from H&M, Uniqlo belt, shoes from TOMS.

dry heat

The weather here in Singapore has been so unbearably hot and humid lately. It hasn't rained in almost three weeks! With this weather, all I can do really is n opt for more comfortable, lighter pieces lately. 


On Wednesday, I also decided to get in on the summer mood with a lot of color! (I just browsed through the last few outfit posts and realize color is seriously missing from my everyday wear lately!)



This is my favorite color combo - cobalt blue + tangerine. The cobalt blue reminds me of azure waters while the tangerine feels like a refreshing glass of ice-cold juice. 



I haven't had a summer holiday yet and I am seriously craving (and in need of!) one.


I was wearing: cobalt blue pants from H&M, Kiss Jane scalloped top, Trois + Inch loafers.

red, white and blue

On June 12, I decided to wear the flag colors to celebrate Philippine Independence Day.


But then I realize this look is more Americana, very Ralph Lauren than I planned.



I normally don't like pairing red and white together. So I decided to break up the pairing by wearing my denim vest.



By the way, the denim vest is a staple this summer. Seen them paired with flowy floral dresses or palazzo pants. 


I was wearing: red skinny pants from Forever 21, Uniqlo white tee, denim vest (old), Trois + Inch loafers.

salmon

Remember Spring when the color salmon was everywhere? The color's pretty versatile - works well as a color-blocking piece or with basic black, navy or even white.



Today I decided to pair with a printed top.



And with colorful bracelets for color-overload!



Initially, I hesitated with a pair of high-waisted, pleated pants (that's a double-whammy right there) but because this particular pair tapers at the bottom, it avoids looking too baggy.



Going for the 80s working girl look with my gray boyfriend blazer. I should've taken a better photo with the blazer to properly show you so please excuse the bad angle and the exhausted look (took this at the end of a long day).


I was wearing: Zara high-waisted pants, printed tank top from Cotton On, Topshop boyfriend blazer and Charles & Keith shoes.

the blue route

While color-blocking is fun and inspiring, I also equally like wearing one bright piece with a neutral palette. 

I fell in love with this shade of cobalt blue that  I decided to pair with a simple white top to let the pants take center stage.



The white makes the pants even brighter and bluer.



The accessories are neutral too - almond loafers instead of yellow wedges



Dark brown belt and chunky silver bracelets instead of colorful leather ones.


Happy weekend everyone! I'll probably be spending mine doing more Christmas shopping - only 30 days to go now!


I was wearing: Colored pants from H&M, Cotton On button-down, Uniqlo belt, loafers from Trois + Inch, Forever 21 silver bracelets.

just in: cobalt blue pants

So I planned to drop by H&M yesterday at lunch to check out the Versace collection but it got pretty crazy at work that I couldn't take extra time off lunch. Decided to drop by the store at night after workout, the I looked around the women's collection on the ground floor. There were still some hooker sky-high heels left so I was hopeful for the men's collection. 


Looked around the men's on the 3rd floor and they were all gone! Aaacck! 


H&M did however put some of their old items on sale so I had a look around the store and found this pair of cobalt blue pants. I've been looking for a pair in this color (I found a pair on Topman) so I was glad to see this and marked down at $20! 



These are actually skinny/slim cut but I could only find a size about 2 inches bigger than what I normally wear so it turned into a boyfriend fit. 


Perfect with a simple crisp white shirt or striped yellow top.
