Statement white blouse and necklace to work

Happy Monday!

Today the weather is a bit cooler here in the island so I decided to wear my new statement white blouse and statement necklace. As I told you guys earlier, I have to wear mourning attire to my office until the end of October this year. So I paired my blouse with simple small tweed tailor made pants. If only I don’t need to wear mourning attire, I would simply add red accessories to brighten up my day.

See the difference? Accessory can empower your daily work. It is indeed essential. I love buying ok priced accessories. Accessorize is my favourite place where I normally shop for nicely designed items. Especially during sale season.

Please share with me where you like to buy your accessories? And what items you have to wear everyday? I love to wear earrings and watch everyday I can’t live without them!

Have a good day!

Blue flower and my skinny jeans

I took K to do shopping with me yesterday. He was good at it. He helped me to pick up things and gave a lot of compliments to me when I tried on clothes. I love going shopping with a 4-year old. ^_^

What I wore yesterday mainly from H&M. I bought this top from H&M 3 years ago. Almost forget about it. The bright blue flowers on my top reminded me of bright spring in Europe now. Lot of friends posted their pictures of how they spent their long holiday in Europe. This top also reminded me of my mum. I bought this top while I went shopping with my mum. She was not only a good company but also my best friend. I still cannot get over the grief of lossing her which came so sudden last year. However it is more bearable these days. Little things reminded me of her. Hope that we will meet again some day Mummy!

I wore my new pair of heels from H&M. Love the neutral colour on it. My purse is blue water snake skinned bag from Chloe.

That was how I enjoyed my day. What about you guys?

Sunflower day!

Hello everyone,

Today I feel yellow is the right colour. The temperature in Bahrain keeps on rising. During the day it can reach 40 degree celcius. It is so hot and burning so I think yellow is a good choice of colour to wear. Dont you agree? Red will be too much of a burning feeling here. ^_^ I wore simple tee and cropped yellow trousers with my new yellow heels that I bought from Promod a fews weeks ago. They were a perfect match. I carried a small but colourful purse I got from Paul Smith shop in Bahrain for 75% discount! Love the bright colour on it. Hope you like my picks of today.

Have a wonderful weekend dear!

Celebrating Thai New Year Day in pink

Happy Thai New Year Day or Happy Songkarn Day everyone,

Today is our traditional New Year so I wanted to wear my new bright pink embroided shirt to mark the occasion. Many decades ago the Government of Thailand annouced that the offically national New Year Day is 1 January. Thailand and Thai people then enjoys celebrating two New Year Days. Let end our old chapter of our life and welcome the new beginning. Wish you all happy a very happy New Year.

Another black lace dress

Hi there,

I found this dress a few months ago. I love the lace pattern on it. It is so delicate and lady-like. Not my everyday office attire. But I want to celebrate my sister’s birthday today. So I feel that it is a good occasion to wear such a beautiful and luxurious dress. It is quite hard to be away from the one you love on special days but thanks to Steve Jobs, we have smart phones. Distance seems shorthen and it is not impossible to feel like I was there with my sister to share her birthday cake. Happy Birthday to you Netty.

Black lace top and culottes on working day

Hello all,

How are you guys? I still have to wear black to work until October so it is definitely a challenging task. Yes, black is very classic. But if you have to wear it everyday for over a period of 6 months and more 6 six months to go, you start to feel overwhelmed by it. Black is classic but very boring for wearing it on daily basis. How I can make my dress code look chick, classic, fun and professional is very challenging.

Today I decided to wear my black culottes from Oasis and black lace top from G2000. Lace is fragile and revealing a bit of my fresh so it doesn’t look too dull. Now I don’t need much of accessories but colour on me so I chose a blue Dolce Gabbana purse and Ninewest heels.

Gotta run to the meeting now. Have a good and productive day to you all.

 

 

Olive and denim

Hello everyone,

Yesterday I took K to see Sesame Street Show at the Bahrain Exhibition Centre. It was kind of fun for him though he refused to join other kids to dance. So I picked this outfit for the Show.

I always love olive colour so when I saw this olive top at H&M I couldn’t help but taking it home. I feel that now when I buy clothes I have a better focus. So when I buy things like blouse, shirt, skirt or dress, I have to think of what I have had in my wardrobe. New pieces should be fit in with the rest.

Before I started blogging, I tended to buy many clothes that were big enough to cover my boxy figure. It was hard to find things that fit me in my home country since everyone seems to have size 0. So when I found big sized clothes, I just bought them. I then ended up having clothes that didn’t fit with each other. Chaotic wardrobe indeed. Lately, I looked at my blog pages, I decided to ditch many pieces of clothes that I don’t need. I found out that many of them were so loose and didn’t flatter my boxy shape at all. Blogging helps me find my right clothes that flatter my figure. I am still learning to style myself and I hope it will get better and better with all of your help and support.

The Gucci belt was something I bought last year and hardly wear it. I cannot find the way to wear it right. I think it was nice with my deep olive top.

The handbag is from Paul Smith. I like the two contrast colours on the bag, black and orange-red with the grey handles. This pair of shoes I love very much. It was okay price from Zara a few seasons ago.

Before the Show, we had lunch at a nice place called “Le Chocolat” The cakes and chocolate there are amazingly delicious. Love it.

Hope you have a good Sunday off! GRRRR I have to work today.

 

 

Wearing a blue sa-rong on cultural day

 

Hello everyone.

Yesterday it was a busy day for me. Our office was invited to take part in the annual cultural and bazar called “Bahrain for All”. It is a showcase presenting how people live in harmony in the small island in the Middle East. It was fun. I decided to wear a blue sa-rong with my favourite lace top. But I dont want my costume looked so traditional, I prefered it to be more trendy and contemperary. Now it has become a trend that many women in Thailand wear traditional costume on a daily basis to be more conservative but not too traditional. I learned how to wear a sa-rong like a skirt from youtube. I went to a mall before going to the bazar and shop assistants at Karen Millen and Ted Baker gave compliments on my look.

Hope you like it too. Have a good weekend!

Black long vest and pearls

I bought this black long vest from Ipekyol, Turkish brand, last month. I like the design of having a light violet pearl pin attached the two sides of the front part together instead of buttons.  I however wonder how and what I can pair it with. A few days ago, my formal boss sent me a lace short dress which matches perfectly well with it.

 

Striped dress on a playground

Hello everyone,

I got this striped dress from Oman at a good price tag. I always wanna wear this kind of pattern on a dress but I tend to think stripe will only make you look bigger so I avoid wearing it. Since I lose some weights my confidence grows, I decided to wear it to see my hairdresser and bring K to the playground. When I look at myself in the mirror I think it enlarge my body shape. But who care!? I am gonna have a good time with my boy in this dress. It is the positive attitude toward yourself , that counts.

I left K at the play ground with J and drove to see my hairdresser. Unfortunately my favourite hairdresser was occupied, I was introduced to a new one. I agreed to let the new unfarmiliar face cut my hair. The haircut turn out nicely. Lucky me! Hope you agree!

Dress from R&B shop in Oman, belt from Foever21, flat from Tory Burch and Hermes herbag.
