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).

I'm sure this white shirt has appeared on this space countless times but hey, it's a white shirt and white shirts are known to be versatile! So here's another way I styled them - with tapered trousers, almost jeggings ish fit and the fabric is so unique! I love leather/suede anything but rarely any of those I could find would fit me so I opted for these from Pull & Bear in a sale several seasons ago. They are perfectly slim-cut, one of my favourite jeans/trouser cut.

Paired the outfit with the classic black barely-there leather sandals from Zara to keep the look clean and sleek, and added my superrrrrr old clutch (almost 10 years old!) which I used to use as a pencil case when I was in secondary school.

I also love the shadows my mum managed to capture in these shots, especially the shot with my back view! The shadow casted on my duster coat looks amazing.

Pop of Purple

Duster coat | New Look Petite
Boots | ASOS
Lace top | Urban Outfitters
Corduroy skirt | Zara Girls

So.... this duster coat has appeared again! Sorry but not sorry haha. It's such a great piece, I can't help but to keep styling and wearing it! Everything about this duster coat is perfect for me - the length, the cut, the colour, the design..and the list goes on. Petite collections are really a godsend for tiny-me. Added a pop of colour in this outfit with this corduroy skirt which is realllllyyy comfy. The pockets are super cute (I know I can't put anything in them at all but they're really great for when I'm rushing out the house - I'll put my necklaces/rings in there so I can put them on on the go).

Went to the World Street Food pop-up/festival a few months back and I'd have to say, it wasn't the best street food experience I had. The air was pretty bad and I didn't want my eyes to get irritated so my mum and I just tried some stuff and got out of there. Some huge ass fans in the area would have made it so much better. Ventilation is VERY important to me, apparently.

Thanks for reading!
