Fashion & Style Diary
Found this vintage floral top in my wardrobe that I haven’t seen in years. That’s what I love about vintage; not overly trendy means never dated.

I went through a phase with cargo pants (and shorts! And skirts – the horror!) while growing up. I blame TLC for the influence. I thought I was Left-Eye, bless. (I’m sure she is resting in peace and looking fabulous up there.) The horrible result that ensued as a result of my early teenage (read: young and stupid) interpretation though, that, I can only blame on myself.
More than a decade after throwing out those utilitarian baggies, I finally felt ready to buy another pair of cargo pants – albeit a skinny-fitting, updated pair (but of course!). I quite love them; like jeans, but more fun, and easy to dress up with heels, a smart top and a blazer, and just as easy to dress down with sneakers, an old worn-out concert tee and a trucker cap.

Love this Geometric Hex Blouse from www.maryjulian.com. So comfy and versatile, it adds a splash of fun to any ensemble. There is a happy problem to this though; guess it’s a common ‘problem’ with cool prints – a good print is memorable and really stands out, but it also means it’s remembered and you’ve to space out your wears to avoid looking like you haven’t any other clothes!

On days when I’ve uninspired while getting ready, nothing beats a simple, comfy dress. White is my absolute favourite colour (I have so much white in my wardrobe!), and it makes for a great foil to throw on a whole bunch of coloured accessories. Colour pop(s)!
