WIW: polka dots

We went furniture shopping this morning so my outfit had to be casual and non fussy. So I went with the basics - t shirt, jeans, denim jacket and comfy shoes. What made it a 10 for me is the pattern on the t shirt, the vibrant red of the denim jacket and my favourite pair of shoes. :)

P.S. We bought a dining table!

Toppers for zara white shirt and benetton blouse - help!

I have only owned t shirts all my life, so now that I have some woven tops/blouses, I find myself struggling a bit as far as toppers (jackets, cardigans etc) go. So I thought I would post some pics to get your opinions :-)

Pls excuse the cut off head/bare feet. It is late so I couldn't be bothered to do my hair or put on shoes. I also didn't try out all my bottoms since I was just testing out toppers.

Pics 1 to 3 are of my Zara blouse with my two denim jackets and leather jacket. Does the length of the shirt work with them?

Pics 4-6 are of my Benetton blouse with my off white blazer, turquoise cardigan and denim jacket. Do these look okay? I'm sorry the cardigan is a bit askew, I just threw it on. I would scrunch the sleeves to add more interest.

WIW: same but different

Today was the last part of my diploma exam which was a ten minute monologue followed by a question and answer session. It isn't necessarily a formal affair so I put on jeans and a t shirt, but at the last minute I decided to smarten it up a bit by putting on the same blazer as yesterday.

I'm glad I did, because it made me feel more confident. And the exam went well! Thank you to all those who wished me. :)

WIW: thrifted blazer

I finally wore my new (thrifted) blazer for the first time today. I decided to pair it with black and red, since both of them look great with cream/off white. What do you think? :)

Sorry to post and run, but I have the last of my diploma exams tomorrow. Wish me luck?

WIW: first outfit with turquoise cardigan!

I went for a walk with mom today and decided to wear the new cardigan that she bought me. :) It is her last day in France today (my dad left yesterday) and I'm feeling sad already. But I really am grateful they came here and spent time with me.

P.S. Happy Mother's Day to all you fab YLF moms :)

Anne fontaine in Lyon!

I spotted the store when I was out sightseeing with my parents today! Can't wait to go try one of their famous blouses out! :D

Pic #1 is the store. I added pic #2 just for fun, it is me in front of the Saone river getting my hair blown in the wind! :P

WIW: denim jacket

It was chillier today than yesterday, so I definitely needed a jacket. I decided to wear my denim one since I wore my leather one many days in a row in Paris.

What do you think? :)

WIW: Floral pants, take #2 (plus pic of the 1st time I wore them)

I wore my new floral pants with the white shirt I picked up from Zara today. I intended to wear just the shirt and pants, but it seemed chilly so I grabbed the blazer at the last minute. Turns out I didn't need it though, because it was 31°C today! I was really happy, because this outfit looks much more summery without the blazer. Too bad I didn't get a pic!

I'm also adding a pic from the last time I wore them (pic #2). I know I posted a WIW but it was a crappy cellphone pic and this one is better, even if it isn't full length.

What do you think? Am I doing these floral pants justice?
