A friend said that she hates wearing stripes for two reasons. One, it’s devoid of colour. Second, it makes her looks like she just escaped from jail. While I have no idea why prisoners are depicted in comics & cartoons in black & white clothes, we can always add colours to an outfit. We chose a colourful shoe in bright primary colours: blue, yellow, green and pink. Top the outfit up with a carry-all tote from Anya Hindmarch.

We all have our black bags, black pumps, black jeans, black leggings, black dress, black blouse…you get the drift. It’s no wonder as black goes with anything, professional and give the illusion of a slimmer figure. However, sometimes we need to get out of our comfort zone and try something entirely different. How about grey/silver and purple?

It’s summer all year round in Malaysia, yes. But when we to the shopping mall, the words “Spring/Summer Collection” are plastered all over stores, buntings and brochures. Join in the fun and dress yourself up in light clothings such as this green chiffon dress. The floral prints make it feel more like spring when flowers are blooming. For a touch of elegance, carefully pick good quality and well-designed accessories.

The alarm clock rang and you slammed the button and continue sleeping. You told yourself that you’ll wake up in another 5 minutes but you only manage to pull your body up after another half an hour. Now you’re almost late to work or. What do you do? You can skip breakfast and bath but you can’t skip dressing up! On days like this, pick a work dress (so you only have to wear one garment), grab your  bag and put on your heels and go. To look put together in the little time you have, the trick is to choose everything in black. That way, you can hardly go wrong.
