Grounded Narratives

Be it a little black dress or a pair of classic dress pants, we all have that one outfit that to us screams girlboss. Today's outfit is that to me: wide-leg pants, a girlie blouse and cropped coat. Top it all off with a statement necklace and red lip. I felt like a real girlboss in this outfit. Because wide-leg trousers tend to be a little bulkier you need to add some proportion in the form of  a fitting top and if a coat is necessary, a fitting, cropped cut will sit better than a longer, looser coat. Over the years, I have learnt the importance of finding that style that works for you. Whether your style is sporty, feminine, androgynous, eclectic, your personal style is a form of expressing who you are.

 I don't think I have ever owned a classic pair of dress pants that was until I literally stumbled upon this pair. I don't even know where they came from. My sister just handed them to me and I was like, hmm, let's see how these will look. Let's just say, it was love at first sight. For this work-wear outfit, I paired these classic black dress pants with a grey fitted top. This top, where to begin. I had been on the hunt for smart fitted tops to pair with my more smart trousers and this one was just perfect. The slightly glossy fabric brightens up the grey colour. The tiny floral detailing on the hem and the buttons down the back add those small details that I always look for whenever I shop. To complete this outfit, I added a pair of black earrings, black sling backs and a red lip for that much needed pop of colour.

 Hi guys, I hope your October is coming along great! This month, I thought I would focus a little on work-related outfits. The first work-wear outfit had to be a little black dress. When picking which black dress to feature in this series, I sought one with extra details that would not only make it stand out among the sea of black, grey and navys of the corporate world, but I also thought it would be nice to have a dress that you could easily transition from day to night. Little details like the patches of leather on the shoulders and the exposed zip, drew me to this dress. To finish off the outfit, I added a tweed blazer, gold necklace, black and gold earrings, block heel ballerinas and my signature bold lip.
