6 pencil skirt looks for the office

Posted by Shabana Feroze August 30, 2015

Pencil skirts are awesome formal wear pieces. They're versatile, letting you dress them up or down. You can wear them with almost all your tops- t- shirts, flowy blouses, tank tops, button-downs, or layer with a jacket/ blazer. They look good on most body types, and are widely available.

They're definitely a staple in my wardrobe, and I have quite a few of them in different colors. Here are 6 different looks I've done with pencil skirts on the blog.

Look 1

I wore my black pencil skirt with a short-sleeved red blouse, and a mint blazer on top. Simple silver jewelry and black pumps completed this look. Full post

Look 2

In this look I wore a long-sleeved olive green top with a white pencil skirt. I added a red belt for a pop of color and matched red pumps and an envelope clutch to it. I wore a statement necklace in white to set off the skirt. Full post

Look 3

I kept it simple here by pairing a baby pink blouse with a black skirt. A statement watch and a bejeweled cuff keep the look smart. I chose blue pumps for another burst of color, and a statement bag keeps the look professional. Full post

Look 4

In this look I went for blue on blue, choosing to wear a full-sleeved satin blouse in royal blue with this royal blue skirt. I toned down the color with a black clutch and black heels. Full post

Look 5

I tucked a pink t-shirt into a white skirt in this outfit, and finished with royal blue pumps. I acessorized with a long colorful bead necklace and a gold cuff. A neutral statement bag completed this semi-formal look. Full post

Look 6

Button-downs go great with pencil skirts and here I wore a navy blue silk button-down with my white skirt. I wore a thin black belt on top of the skirt to add interest. I accessorized with golden jewelry, wearing a golden necklace inside the collar of the shirt, and a golden bracelet, ring and leather watch. I finished the look with beige heels with gold embellishments, and a neutral bag. Full post

Hopefully I've inspired you to try out different pencil skirt outfits for the office. They're even great for dinners and events. Get a few of them in basic colors, so you can mix and match them with different tops and create lots of looks.

Until next time,

xoxo

Six Different Ways To Wear Pink Jeans

Posted by Shabana Feroze May 17, 2015

Colored jeans are a big favorite of mine and these baby pink ones I wear a LOT. From top left, here are 6 different ways I styled mine-

1. With a teal top and a red leather jacket. Teal contrasts well with pink and I kept the jacket within the same color family as pink, so it doesn't clash. I kept the shoes neutral with nude pumps.

2. With a white silk blouse. This is a simple, feminine look because of the softness of the silk blouse. I added black booties to toughen the look up a bit.

3. With a mint tee. This look is completely casual and great for running errands. Strappy sandals and a big tan satchel bag completed the look.

4. With a gray top. Pink and gray are a match made in heaven. A floral necklace and strappy sandals finished the look.

5. With a purple blouse. All the vibrant color on me made it necessary that I tone it down with black shoes and a clutch.

6. With a red sweater. This is a fairly simple look, but the addition of big earrings, a clutch and dressy shoes, it's taken up a few notches.

So don't be afraid to wear colored jeans thinking it won't go with other items in your closet. It can either be paired with a neutral color, a color in the same color family, or contrasted with one.

5 Ways I Styled This Red Top

Posted by Shabana Feroze February 05, 2014

Red is my favorite color. That's no new news. {Try saying that five times fast.} So it's obvious this red top from Zara is one of my absolute fave pieces in my wardrobe. It's the perfect length, has short, mega sleeves, and a key-hole and pleats at the neck. The material is light and silky. If you're wondering why I don't have more outfit pictures in this top, it's because I've deliberately stopped myself from wearing it for more blog posts and boring you. I've had this top for more than three years now, and it still has pride of place in my closet. That's the thing about quality, timeless pieces. They stay in your wardrobe forever and you still reach for them when you want to dress up.
Here's how I styled this top in these five looks:

1. Untucked with formal beige trousers, and a swishy gun-metal gray sweater. {It was winter and rainy. This pic is from a long time ago. Look how short my hair is!}. I added a long black beaded necklace and gray peep-toe heels.
2. I tucked it into a knee-length A-line black skirt and added a beaded belt. Nude pumps finished the look.
3. Worn with a beige ruffled skirt, a black statement ring and black Mary Janes. Simple and cute.
4. Here I kept it casual by tucking it into light blue jeans. I added a thin blue belt and matching handbag. A thick bangle and pink pumps kept the look playful.
5. Tucked into denim shorts, I wanted this look to be slightly fierce so I wore my laced booties and studded red envelope clutch. I wore colorful glass bangles to keep it looking sweet.

What's interesting is that I no longer have the trousers and the skirts from the first three looks, but I still have the top!

4 Ways To Wear A Black Maxi Dress

Posted by Shabana Feroze November 25, 2013

A black maxi dress is a gorgeous basic to have in your closet. Just the dress can be worn to different places and is perfect to throw on when you can't think of anything to wear or when you're in a hurry. Mine is from Jeanswest and I've worn it countless times. Here's how I wore it 4 different ways:

Clockwise from top left:

1. Just the dress, worn simply with stacked colourful bangles on both hands.

2. Tie a chambray shirt over the maxi and add a necklace and bangles.

3. A red leather jacket and aviator sunnies ups the fierceness of the dress.

4. I added a pretty tasseled belt and a statement beaded necklace to switch it up.
