Our lives revolve around our social media so much nowadays that if we want to look back on what we've been up to, our Instagram and Facebook tell us a pretty decent story. Not the absolutely real story of how we're feeling of course, but still, a generally accurate timeline of stuff we've been up to. My Instagram account @TheSilverKickDiaries reflects a wonderful trip to Amsterdam and then the normal routine of work, classes, a few blog events, and socializing with friends. So here are just the outfits I've shared recently on my Instagram:
The temperatures had started climbing at the tail end of my trip, and I could FINALLY wear something other than the huge black coat that hid five layers underneath. I celebrated the warmth by wearing a white poncho top with ruffled sleeves, a blue full-sleeved top underneath, skinny jeans and ankle boots.
I wore this outfit to a concert of the Amsterdam Philharmonic Orchestra. I paired a wine colored maxi skirt with the same top as the first image {capsule holiday wardrobe!}, an embroidered shawl which is wool so it kept me warm, and added a touch of glam with a golden statement necklace.
Back in Bahrain, I paired a baby pink blouse with a baby blue blazer and then structured black, white and gray all around the two pastels with a gray skirt, black and white handbag, black pumps and a black chandelier pendant.
An elegant look for a night out, with a pleated maxi skirt in cobalt blue, paired with a satin blouse in cream, and minimal accessories.
A simple workwear look with a red and white print top paired with a black skirt, with the details in the sleeves {not seen in this photo}. These pointed wedge heels are becoming a firm favorite of mine because they're comfortable and don't make me feel too short.
Here I paired all neutrals of gray, white and black, and added pops of color with my handbag and shoes. The textures of the shirt, blazer and pants are all different to add more interest and structure to the look.
I paired one of my favorite pink tops with skinny jeans and tie-up flats for a casual weekend outfit that was super comfortable to walk endlessly around malls in.
A no-fuss ensemble of a peach-colored button-down paired with wide leg black pants and pointed flats, with my hair thrown into a side bun for a long day at work.
One of my favorite silk blouses worn with a gray skirt, delicate gold accessories and black peep-toe pumps for a minimalist work look.
Navy again with a soft t-shirt worn with khaki chinos, a white waterfall jacket, and a colorful necklace. Navy pumps match the top while the bag adds more color.
Some days you just need a hit of red and a big, bold print. I paired these pants with a cropped white top that has just the right amount of bling for a work day, and finished the outfit with one of the most comfy pair of heels I own.
Those are all the latest looks from my Instagram. I find it fascinating that looking back on your outfits you also tend to notice what colors and clothes have been on repeat, and how they were a reflection of your mood. {Note to self: maybe a little less of the blues, blacks and grays this month}.
What does your Instagram reflect?
Until next time,
xoxo
