This is what I came home with from New York the other week! A shirtdress. It made my heart pound and felt refreshingly new. I spotted a couple of different versions of shirtdresses but settled for this one from Vince. Funny to say that I was fed up with my black, grey and white... and that I'm looking for something colorful... Can't say I acted accordingly, but I loved the cut and the feeling in this dress. And truthfully I think the color stressed the kind of austere look of it. Here I have styled it … [Read more...] about A Shirtdress
Summer Shirt Transitioning Into Winter Style
My absolute favorite blouse this summer and fall is this Zadig et Voltaire pink and flowery creation. Lovely with the black embroidery at the neck and wrists. What I like about the style of Zadig et Voltaire is that it's a notch edgy and cool and you can make as much of that as you want. For my office wear it suits me fine because I usually needs some edginess not to be completely boring. But in this case I choose to take my black leather skirt and black blazer to style the blouse. Transitioning into my … [Read more...] about Summer Shirt Transitioning Into Winter Style
Green And Flowery
Updating my black ensemble for the season with a flowery blouse. A hint of green, a knot and flowers - you can't go wrong with this combination! For the fall and winter season of 2015/16 the combination of green, wrap/knots and flowers seems to be huge. I found this blouse at Club Monaco and it's a hit. I styled it with my black blazer and slim cropped black pants, all geared up for a presentation to the Board of Directors! Business life is a show off! … [Read more...] about Green And Flowery

Now is the time to bring them out again. Blazer - Theory … [Read more...] about If flower is power
Adding Some Romance
Worn with a sheer, flowery blouse, the black office costume is styled in a more feminine and romantic way. For me this has always been a way to create some dynamic around the black jacket. There are a lot of variations of flowery blouses in sheer and transparent fabrics out in the shops, or perhaps even in your closets. Just to tune things down and not overdo the romantic thing, I like that the background color for the flowers is black. Slacks are from Whyred. Shoes are from Arche. … [Read more...] about Adding Some Romance
Holiday Prep in Lace Shirt
In Europe we have a holiday on the Day of Ascension of Christ, an old Christian tradition. So I have the rest of the week off! No more office wear, jeans, T-shirt and feet in the air with some great company! So just before holidays you caught me in my usual black suit this time styled with my lace shirt from Zadig et Voltaire, gives it a little bit of a rockier style. Paired up with boots and belt in natural colored leather. Boots from Frye and belt so much vintage that I can't remember where I bought … [Read more...] about Holiday Prep in Lace Shirt
