Hello
my dear readers and fellow bloggers,
Hope
you are all well and having a good week and have made some interesting plans
for the coming weekend.
Today’s
look is my second attempt to explore the possibility of the happy co-existence
of rough street style denim and smooth luxurious silk that I started in the
previous post (for those of you who, who have not read the previous post or
would need a reminder, please read it here).
Hopefully, at the end of my experiment, I will end up with a couple of
more fresh outfits.
This
outfit is full of challenges and experimentation and the elements involved are:
a street style white denim skirt, an elegant evening dove grey silk blouse and
a hand-made choker.
This
is one of my most favourite blouses that I love to wear when we are going to
the Opera House to see a ballet or to listen to a symphony concert. I like to
pair it with a black maxi skirt or tuxedo pants and adorn it with a string of
pearls. There are few details of it that I particularly like, the fact that it
does not have buttons but rather wraps up around your hips and the overextended
sleeves with French style cuffs that I prefer to wear down for an extra chic
factor as opposed to a casual rolled-up cuff look.
Today,
however, I am pairing it with a white denim skirt that is in a totally
different league and really hoping that it would work. The combo does not look
too bad but it needs some final touches and the key to success is to choose the
right accessories: shoes, handbag, jewellery etc.First and and probably most crucial of them all - the footwear. I was debating between low and high heel shoes and I tried them both but after consulting the mirror, the high heels won hands down.
WE ALL KNOW THAT NOT ONLY DO HIGH HEELS HELP TO MAKE OUR LEGS SLIMMER AND LONGER BUT ALSO DELIVER A STRIKE OF ELEGANCE TO THE SIMPLEST OUTFIT TAKING IT TO A COMPLETELY NEW LEVEL.
Also,
I am experimenting with a choker. I have never ever worn nor owed a choker
before but since I am pushing boundaries here, why not add another one, right?
It is not a choker per se, it is, actually, is a bracelet that I wrapped around
my neck and tied up at the back with a piece of string. It was a classic case where the saying
“Necessity is a mother of invention” can be applied.
I
was having a lot of fun bringing all the elements together to create a stylish
new outfit and I think I succeeded.
What
do you think, my friends? Would really like to hear your thoughts.
