Do We Still Like Overalls?

I would have honestly guessed we’ve had it by now with this look, as last year, every single blogger was photographed in a pair of denim overalls looking cooler than cool. But what do you say, what do you know? It's not over till it’s over. At least not according to the online media, pushing stories of this trend down our throats, cause really now, the overall amount of err… overall pics has drastically dropped. Yet… their cool vibes remain intact.

I hated overall as a kid, never did them in the 90s, so what, are they going to surprise me this time round? My boundaries aside, and an open mind ahead and what do you know? I see celebrities, fashionistas and style bloggers doing this look like crazy. Actually I kind of hold them all responsible alongside Rihanna, and that ’90’s inspo (TLC – for a rap urban take on the farmer’s uniform or Katie Holmes for that goody-goody look). And the funny part,  the only time I wore an overall was my secondary school uniform-pinafore overall-now -posh-WTF, right? Lesson of the day: rely on your fashionista subconscious to take the right decisions when you get lazy on the upper floor. Still, are not all that great. I bought three years ago but NEVER wore it. Probably can’t fit into it anymore and that’s just because it was purchased during my skin-tight-obsession-period. Ah well… we’ve all got our fashion skeletons in the closet.

Anyway, enough about me & my life choices. Why don’t we eye-ball the street styles & their sartorial choices when wearing an OVERALL.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Working Woman

There is something extremely rewarding about working-as long as you love what you do, of course. For me, it's the process of creating and designing. Although going to an office from 9-5 may seem rather unexciting, it's all in how you approach it. Becoming an expert in a certain field, or multiple fields for some and being awesome at your chosen expertise is a wonderful thing. It's a knowledge you own and control, and getting to do something you love 5days a week is anything but boring. Who wants to sit at home all day doing nothing? I love being productive and inspiring others to do their best as well. An enthusiastic mentality will change the way you feel about your job, i promise.

Not all jobs require a suit, but don't frown if your job does. As far as fashion is concerned, there is nothing more sleek and sophisticated than a beautiful, well-fitted suit. Suits are  not "corporate" and "uptight", they are really very sexy and fashionable. A pinstripe suit is a classic selection, and a simple black and grey suits are definite must-haves. If you are new to suit world, i would recommend checking out the many fine suits of Theory. Not only do the theory suits look incredibly suave, but they also are comfortable and tend to fit perfectly. 
Use bright coloured tops to pop simple suits to play with different looks. And never underestimate the freshly pressed white button down shirt, which pulls together a classy look  when worn under any suit. Keep it classy and make sure it , matches, but don't be afraid to finish off the look with a bright-coloured heel. As your suit collection grows, throw in some not-so-standard colours, such as a rich blue or a subtle silver-grey suit. So don't whine about having a dress code at work, get excited to create some killer looks, which will heighten your professional attitude and energetic, positive outlook toward your job. If you start the day off feeling like a million bucks, you will be ready to take in anything the day throws at you. You earned your position at work, so be proud to do the amazing job you do! And it feels great to do what you do in style! Do have a fabulous week!!

My Giuliana Rancic/Kris Jenner Home-Made Jacket

The thing is, I've always wanted a neon jacket. I saw the photos of Giuliana Rancic and Kris Jenner in this solid coloured jacket and I was like -I gotta have this! So since I couldn't afford a designer jacket, I decided to sew one for myself. As a seamstress, I always have something new for every occasion. On Tuesday I went to Daviva, got this solid colour fabric, cut out the pattern and I made it happen- I was totally on fire lol. I felt like the point has come for me where I just need to sew and I need to sew like the wind. I completed my jacket yesterday and launched it today-way to go, whoop! I almost changed my mind though, but I'm glad i didn't. Hope you like it.
