I must have bought today's dress at least 5 years ago (time sure does fly!). Back then, I would only wear it on special occasions, and I certainly wouldn't wear it any other way other than toss it over my head :P (as pictured on left). What was I thinking -- the dress looks so shapeless and long on me?! Adding a wide belt sure helps make it look less like a sack (pictured on right). Granted, the belt makes the outfit look more casual, but it looks so much more put together.

My first time visiting the LOFT brick-and-mortar store was 2 weeks ago. Shocking, right?! Their clothes just never really appealed to me before -- I guess I'm still stuck in the dressing-like-a-teeny-bopper stage in my life lol. I saw this LOFT Twill Cropped Military Jacket in fresh navy and my heart skipped a beat. It looked so much like Olivia Palermo's Kimchi Blue Ruffled Peacoat!

Today's outfit is pretty much the same as this previous one, just swapping out the skirt and bag.

Why am I standing on my tippy-toes in the first pic? It's my attempt at posing like Olivia Palermo :P

First modeling pics with the new Chanel! A bag like this needed to be paired with a dressier outfit, don't you think? At least dressy by my standards ;) I figured it's still work appropriate enough, with the subtle navy blue pinstripes. Hope y'all had a great Monday!

This blog needed a face lift ;) I continued with the usage of pastel shades, except replacing the green and pink with salmon/pink/grey. No more vectors either with the top image, but instead I'm using some favorite photographs of mine :) Admittedly, there were other images that I liked more, but in the end I went with a mix of fashion related ones and personal favorites!

Happy birthday to me! To celebrate turning another year older (ugh haha), I went out and purchased a lil something for myself. It may be small, but it sure ain't cheap! The timing was just right because Chanel decided to raise prices this time around by a whopping 30%+! o.O I don't know what the hell they're thinking?! It's already bad enough that they have 1-2 price increases per year, but this one tops it all. Ranting aside, here is my lovely Chanel M/L Caviar Flap in silver hardware <3 (buy pre-owned)

Was told by management to dress business casual today, with no flip flops. Everytime I see that line in the emails I feel like it's directed at me lol. I'm probably the only one who absolutely lives in flip flops :P I figured, if I were to look nice, why not go all out? I love this pair of Express Editor pants and feel I don't wear it enough. It definitley has to be paired with heels because of the inseam. So I also busted out my 3.25" heels. My god, I must be out of practice cuz I couldn't stay on them for more than half an hour. My feet were killing me!! Wahh!! Good thing I work behind a desk so I can rest my poor feet.
