I've always been a fan of slip dresses (to wear out) and especially one of my favourite way of styling it is with a longline jacket. Love the navy textured body of this dress and the lace trim, which has the perfect amount of peekaboo slip. I doubt anyone taller than me can wear this as a dress though, if the it were any shorter I wouldn't be able to pass it off as a going out dress either! Zara makes the best slips, seriously! Most of my favourite slip dresses are from Zara, and they are more affordable than many others out there (without looking too cheap too!). This checkered slip dress is one of them -it's actually the first slip dress I've ever bought and I am loving it loads even now. Just the kind of style I like going for on date nights out!

Love the little details on this oversized jacket - especially the white pinstriped trim at the sleeves! It's also on the inside of the jacket. I wasn't expecting it to be THIS oversized when I ordered it but well, I really like how it turned out!

Found these old photos from last year's Chinese New Year! This was from the first day of CNY last year and as usual, my maternal relatives gathered at one of my uncle's place and we all have a good lunch together. As usual, CNY outfit planning is probably the toughest for me because no black allowed when visiting relatives (except shoes because we all take them off when entering the house anyway). Was surprised how well this Mango dress fitted me (Only alteration I needed to do was to shorten it), and I love the colour too! This year's outfit planning has been pretty challenging too....most of my new clothes are black!

All Black, Day to Night

Wrap dress (UK2) | ASOS Petite
Shoes | All Saints
Leather jacket | Istanbul
Bag | Givenchy
Necklace | ShopClementine

This crepe wrap dress fits like a dream, but it's really thin though - seamless underwear (preferably black to nude) is a must! It's great for work but also dressy enough for dinner. It's literally a wrap dress (with just one button at the waist, and strings, so it's always a bit of a risk when it's super windy out!

Black Crepe X Pop of Red

Dress (XS) | Mango
Duster coat (UK4) | New Look Petite
Heels | Zara
Bag | Bally
Necklace | By Invite Only

Having worked professionally for a year now, I realised that my go-to clothing pieces for the office are mostly theremade of crepe fabric. I had subconsciously collected several pieces over the year and I they turn out to be the ones I wear most. I'm sure you guys are no stranger to this crepe duster coat which I wear over and over again - for all looks, from smart casual to formal. Layered up with all black everything for this outfit, just how I like my outfits to be - black, black and more black. And then I decided to go with a red/burgundy pair of (pretty low) heels from Zara (several seasons ago).
