Back to Basics











Alllooooo~ 

Firstly, I apologize for the lack of updating the blog. However, if you notice the first three beaaauuuuutiful pictures that opened up this blog... then picture me there. YESSS! I was there! These are real pictures!! I took a little over a week off and sailed around the British Virgin Islands. Happily waking up with nothing to do but snorkel - breakfast - sail - snorkel - shop - eat - island hop - sail - eat - eat - sleep - repeat. For 10 days!! 

I was so happy. so happy... but I am also excited and to get back to my daily routine ( and hot showers and a blow drier ). 

I recently took on a job where it limits my outfit to black. white. gray. (tears). 
My pale pink blazer. off white tweed blazer. and colorful fun spring prints. say byebye to daily wear.. 

Back to Basics

Just because I have to wear neutral colors does not mean it cannot be chic and fashionable. In some ways it allows me to play up my accessories more ( YAY! )

Here are a few essentials that I am looking to stack up on

1. texture and flowy tops (banana republic and J crew are two of my favorite places for these simple elegant tops)

2. fun black bottoms. (skinny ankle crop offs are great for summer. Bubble shape bottoms etc. funky bottoms make your outfit seem more personal)

3. A black one piece jumpsuit. ( WHY NOT?? it's so chic when dressed up with a belt and the right accessories. If it's too exposed in the back simply slip on a short cardigan).

4. White flare bottoms. (My idol Chriselle Lim here is rocking these white jeans. A good fit is important. So nothing too tight! )

Happy Wednesday!
