outfit | monochrome x leather shorts

Cotton On Top, Leather Shorts from eBay, Rubi Shoes Heeled Sandals, Colette by Colette Hayman Bag, Forever 21 Sunglasses, Bracelets from Equip and eBay

Yes, I know. I have abandoned this blog for little over two weeks and it feels like years since I have updated the blog. I have been literally drowning in work for university and I am still learning on how to cope. It is a learning curve but hopefully I will get there. It is already nearing the end of March, yet it still feels like Summer is still here. However, that doesn't stop me from trying to incorporate some fall trends. These leather shorts which I found on eBay were such as great find for such a trendy, yet affordable piece. To keep it weather appropriate, I paired it with a lightweight shirt and a pair of block heel sandals - the epitome of comfort (for a pair of heels of course). I also kept it very monochromatic with some simple silver bracelets and my go-to bag.

Hopefully I can get my life back into order so I start posting regularly again. I have also been thinking about what else I would like to see on my blog. Perhaps a new name for my blog might be in order - who knows? We'll just see what happens!

outfit | back to basics

Forever 21 Top, Forever 21 Leather Panel Trousers, Casio Watch, Hot Options for Target Shoes and Rimmel London in Apricot Punch on the nails

Last week I had to attend Presentation Day (aka award ceremony) at school. It was nice to see several people I haven't seen for weeks and collect my award. For this, I wanted to look put together but still casual at the same time since it was held during the day. I have always loved classic silhouettes but adding a twist to them to give it a modern edge. The trousers were a slim fit and had leather panelling which gave the classic trouser a modern edge, but still gave it a classic look. I also created a cuff with the trousers to create a casual-cool look. I also went quite minimal by finsihing the outfit with a messy bun, a gold sports-lixe watch by Casio and my favourite pair of shoes. I also broke up the monochromatic palette with some bright summer nail polish.
