Monochrome and asymmetrical fabulous

WOW. What crazzzzy week it has been for me (month end & all !) However that's not to say that my mind hasn't been on shopping...or clothes...or runways...constantly!

I am in love with the beautiful simplicity that monotones and asymmetrical hem lines give to an outfit (as much as I love bright bold prints actually - watch for posts in the near future!). In fact, I have been lusting over several pieces I've seen online and using them as inspiration for this post's outfit. 

My new fact for the day: Monotone doesn't refer to black and white. As the name would suggest, it's one colour in several tones. 

I also want to make the comment that on top of being in love with asymmetrical hem lines & monotones - I am also obsessed with perspex! So I am once again wearing my beloved Jefferey Campbell Soiree heels & with a perspex box clutch that DIM (Did it myself...? DIY??!! Haha). With the clutch, I decided to use Monya's lips purse because I thought it was chic and cheeky and so perfect for this outfit!

One thing I don't love is crappy overcast weather and grainy photos! SO ANNOYING!

Anyway, until next time! Hope you enjoyed this post & THANK YOU for reading.

Dressing it up with a statement necklace

Hi fellow readers!

Here is part 1 of how I wear my statement necklaces - I make a point of not showing my necklace in the first 2 photos for you to get an idea of  how casual my outfit actually is.

I truly believe that gorgeous pieces of jewellery like this lovely PeepToe woven chain necklace in turquiose really dresses up an outfit and when worn with confidence, becomes that little more edgy. It turns an ordinary pair of trousers and t-shirts into something you'd be able to wear to a sunday lunch without looking drab.

Top - IndiC

Pants - ASOS

Shoes - Jeffrey Campbell

Necklace - PeepToe

can't emphasise how much I love statement jewellery - especially the PeepToe woven chain necklace ahhh! 

I'll be back with more outfit posts with this necklace. Hope you like what you've seen so far!

Perspex heels

I am super excited to be doing this post because for more than 6 months I have been lusting after the ultimate pair of perspex heels. 

 I first fell in love with the pair of nude Zara sandals but I always just admired these from afar (with the likes of Stella McCartney & Donna Karen Resort) because they were never really that comfortable for my poor little feet. 

Truth be told that I have probably spent a few weeks worth of hours searching, and searching for the right pair until I came across the Jeffrey Campbell Soiree heels...so without further adieu here are my favourite shots! :) 

Top - TFNC

Skirt - Supre

Shoes - Jeffrey Campbell

I'll admit that this is more a micro trend and really is only for some. As you can see, I paired my gorgeous shoes with a high split maxi skirt and racer neck top... I can already hear one of my colleagues telling me that "seriously this outfit belongs with black stilletto heels" and perspex, "clear high heels are for strippers only. "

But I like to think that these add some class and fabulous edge to an outfit. Hope you enjoyed this post as much as I did taking photos for it 

XOXO 

 P.S. Just a fashion bloggers note from me to you: fit: I bought a 7.5 and have slightly wider feet. I am usually at 7.5-8
