What I wore -- Pink + Black & White stripes

Some days I wake up with an outfit in mind and some days I am clueless on what to wear, so I turn to the web for inspiration, this is one of those days...

I was browsing some random blogs and found this cute outfit from a blog called I Am Style-ish, forgive me 'cause I can't find the link to it, I'd put it up as soon as I got it...

What I wore -- Cut-offs + Fedora

I'm taking advantage of the perfect weather we're having at the moment, (not hot, not too cold either) wearing shorts while I still can before the temperature drops down further...


I'm wearing this belt and my new shoes.

Inspiration photo from Polyvore.

I've actually worn this outfit [minus the fedora, sandals and belt] with a newsboy hat and 'arm party' here.

What I wore - Plaid shirt + New shoes

This photo, according to the hubs should have been a reject since my right arm is missing (in the world of modelling or photography, maybe it's a no-no?) but I like this pic so it's here in the blog, (I am one stubborn wife!)

What I'm wearing: [11.20.11]
Plaid shirt (also worn here)
Skinny jeans (H&M), seen here & here
Magenta tube (worn underneath the plaid shirt)
My new sandals

(Disclaimer: This post features a couple pic of close-up of feet, so be warned!)
 These are my new shoes and my new favorite as of the moment, it gives me an additional 3 to 3 and a half inches of height but does not give me any pain or blisters at all!

What I wore -- Colored skinnies

(Meet Britney -- the 'diva' daughter! lol!)

They always say, "don't spend a lot of money on a trend because it's sure to go as fast as it came..." Living by this motto, I tend to shy away from pricey items [unless it's a classic] that are on trend and so I always wait for sales and bargains... I usually snag my closet staples on end-of-season sales, and this colored skinnies is one of them, I actually got two [read post here]
 
the other is the same color as this pink one above still waiting for the perfect occasion to be worn ...

Colored skinnies...

I went to the stores last Tuesday to see the latest offerings and displays... and since it's fall, there are lots of boots, cardigans, jackets and long-sleeved tunics, I was actually hoping I could still snag some spring/summer pieces which are usually discounted items... I did find some clog sandals and a couple of colored skinny pants [Update: see post] which I love!

So I googled for some inspiration on how to wear colored skinnies and here's what I found...
I learned that I can pair it with a white tank top
and top it with a nude blazer and matching shoes
and striped tops...

Lots of outfit possibilities! Can't wait to try them!

Wide-leg jumpsuits!

So that's how they call it! I didn't quite know at first what they were when I chanced upon them, it's like a MAXI dress but they're pants instead of dress so, I thought maybe they're called jumpsuits!

I bought 2 of them (orange and blue) last summer and sadly, up until this moment, I haven't worn any of them, yet! (Update: i've worn the orange one, see here). So, imagine my excitement when I realized that jumpsuits are still 'big' in style this fall, so I get a second chance!

I recently googled some for outfit inspiration and what do you know, I gathered a huge selection coz they are everywhere in blogosphere, every fashion and style blogs I found - they're there! So please bear with me as this post is pic-heavy, as usual! But hey, admit it, you're here for the pictures, right?




They're cute and all, but the bad side of those is that you gotta pull the whole thing down when you need to, you know, and you’re like fully naked when you’re sitting on that toilet!
There goes the dilemma of taking off my entire outfit just to pee!
Oh, the trouble you go through for fashion's sake!

What I wore -- Date with the hubs!


Hubs and I have been married for a little over 13 years and when you've been married that long, chances of the two of you getting some quality alone time is getting few and far between... Not for us, we both decided we will have some quality couple time whenever we get the chance, it's fun and healthy for the relationship... and we discovered we really love spending time with each other!

  ...and now that we have an almost teenager of a son who, everytime we have to go out declares he'd rather stay home than be seen in public with mom and dad [ouch! that hurts!], we get lots and lots of alone time and date days, well, if you consider running errands as a date!

What I wore:
Black tube jumpsuit
Pink cardigan
Yellow wedge sandals/Coral peeptoe pumps from Bershka [didn't buy]
Yellow cross-body bag
Pink bead necklace
Hubby's watch


BTW, how do you find the large pictures? Do you like them or is it just too much? I'd love to hear from you...

The one I'm talking about....

Remember the coral/orange wide-leg tube jumpsuit in this post? Well, it finally seen the light of day, woot woot!

It finally got a FALL debut last Wednesday (Oct. 5) when we ate lunch out for my advanced birthday celebration... I liked that the color (it's a toss between orange and coral) was really fall-ish since It's already fall yet it's so comfy and breezy for a warm afternoon stroll. I had to add a cropped denim jacket because it was cool in the morning we stepped out...

I also wore this belt and this brown wedge, also seen worn here with the green rompers..


My inspirations:
 
Sofia Vergara
Paris Hilton

'Shorts' story...

Summer's been really hot this year and 'shorts' is the only thing i can bear wearing.  

And how cute is this white shorts *dunno her name, but she's the wife of basketball star Bosh* is wearing?


I had this similar white shorts but I can't seem to wear it out coz it looked like I'm wearing just an 'undie' or 'bloomer' (is that what it's called?), haha! I can see hubs' looking weird at me like I'm crazy or something, saying -- "are you really gonna wear that out?" Hahaha!

Here are some of the other cute 'shorts outfits' that I dig!
Rachel Bilson
Ashley Greene
 Selena Gomez
*I like her shoes!*
Jennifer Aniston - her legs are so toned!

Turquoise necklace

How absolutely gorgeous is this turquoise necklace?
I've been trying to snag one at H&M eversince the start of summer but despite going there a few times, I haven't been quite lucky...


J. Crew also came up with their version and I think I'm loving this color more, it's a lighter color than the one from H&M above and
it comes in other colors as well...

Totally 'bumps up' a simple tee...

What I wore - Trip to IKEA

It was very hot last Sunday [yes, even when the A/C is turned on], the hubs suggested we go hang out someplace cooler... I was glad he said that because I've been itching to go to IKEA ever since last weekend and he said, as if reading my mind, "let's go to IKEA!" 

So, to IKEA we went and this is what I wore...

I love my "arm party!"

[The watch is borrowed from the hubs ;-)]
