You know how much I love pencil skirts, but last week I dug up a really old pair of A-line skirt that I haven't worn in years!
(Sometimes, it's great what we dig out from the backs of our closets, no?)
Paired with my safari-styled shirt for a full safari style. I love the pleating on this pair and am already thinking about a sexy librarian for a next look for this. :P
BTW, it's been nothing but raining here in Singapore and I'm finding it a big challenge to dress up. I can't even wear a lot of my shoes since I don't want to destroy them in the rain so I'm almost always in these pumps or my sneakers. Sigh.
I was wearing: Top from Divisoria (Manila), skirt from a now-defunct store called Ness, pumps from Charles & Keith.
In case I didn't stress enough on my safari aspirations in my previous post, decided to pair my much-loved utility vest (are you sick of it yet???) with my animal print shorts.
You have to admit, without the vest, this outfit would look like I'm going for a quick nasi lemak run at my neighborhood hawker center. The vest just ties everything together.
Try this out: to make a pair of shorts more work-appropriate, finish off by adding some structure with a blazer or a vest (you can wear a menswear-inspired waistcoat if utility is not your thing).
I hesitated buying this pair of shorts because animal print is not really my thing. But with a black-and-white pair, I feels less self-conscious.
I was wearing Zara top, animal print shorts from Cotton On, Liz Claiborne utility vest, Zara lace-up booties, socks from Commode.
