27 Dress-Ups 06: Going Rockchic

Starting the week strong – that’s what this rock chic look is for. Who says you can’t go rock-ish in the office, right?
This earthy printed dress was too formal with its silky ruffle neckline, so I hid that beneath a lace bolero and voila – something not-so “are-you-going-to-a-debut?” Hehe.  That’s the trick with too formal dresses – you just have to pair them with jackets, cardigans or covers that would “tone their formality down.”
I just love these strappy heels. They’re one accessory that can surely pull off a head-turner look.
I know Mondays are quite heavy to take for some because it’s the start of the week and all, so being all back to business but glam at the same time wouldn't really hurt just so it’s not all bad. Try it! :D Have a productive week ahead!

27Dress-Ups 05: Hot like the Devil's Home

Pair a little colorfully textured top with some flowy maxis and what will you have? – A hot as hell outfit! Tsss! (like the sound a sizzling plate makes. Haha!)
Before, I would never have the courage to be fashion-forward with my looks. I guess with time came my confidence. The clothes also surely give you a sense of security and power, which is surely what the essence of the expression “power-dressing,” is.

Who says you have to limit yourself to boring slacks and skirts? Try experimenting with pleated maxis like this or even printed skirts and dress pants.
These maxis were actually too long for my five-foot frame. What more fabulous fix than high heels? I got these wedges from So! Fab and I tell you, they’re one of the coziest for the feet, aside from being truly “so fab.”


Cheers to a hot, hot week!
