I wear simple dresses like this at work during casual / dress-down days. Not totally dress down of course but has that lovely, trendy, and romantic style; perfect office wear! Working in a corporate setting requires compliance to dress codes. Of course, following the dress code doesn't mean you have to be boring and keep up with old styles. You can experiment and follow new trends, provided that the cuts and styles are still not -over-the-top; not revealing; not too loud nor flashy. Discreetly, office attired.

But officewear doesn't have to be too-formal, as I've been campaigning about hehe, especially as you reach the end of the week or so called dress-down days, right? You can wear casual and comfy outfit. Sporty attire is a no-no. You don't want to look like you're going to a gym while at work. Simple casual dresses like this one I wore would work! I'm glad to find good deals like this one from one of my partner shops - Chinese-Apparel.com and I'm sure you'll love their pieces too.

Not having enough parties yet? Haha! This other outfit I'm sharing is again, from one of our company parties and this actually happened since last year. I've already posted this look in Lookbook and as usual, I'm late again in blogging it haha.

I was thinking if I was to go dark or light for the party - darker colors or lighter shades? And since I was already in darker shades from my last outfits, I decided to go with lighter, more vibrant colors this time. It's the season of sparkles too, well, at least during that time! I went with pink hues - one of my favorite girlie colors! And knowing that the holiday season was almost up that time; I went a little thrifty with my outfit!

I actually just "mixed & matched" everything in this look! That's some savings then for me hahah! Some of my colleagues thought everything was brand new. But lah~ Everything here were just stocks in my closet. Thanks to styling! Woohoo!

It was one of our company account parties and the theme was rather cool! I found it easy to dress up during this event as I combined different pieces of clothing from fave stores. And since it was really the season of sales already, it was a breeze shopping!

And to those who follow me on lookbook, you can see that this look has been uploaded there for long. And I'm just unable to really blog about it haha!

My last outfit post was an "outfit change" for the same day. Because we had a program and I danced with my colleagues so we had to wear dance outfits. But to match the theme, this was what I wore. Somehow I wanted to channel being edgy with this look. Then after this that was when I dressed up for the dance - Outfit Post: Step Up Dance Gear.

As a blogger (well I can't really label myself as a fashion blogger because my posts don't focus primarily on it but ... somehow I love fashion posts soooo), I guess it's inevitable not to share our fondness on clothing, accessories, shoes, and whatnots so outfit posts are included (such an excuse? LOL). But most bloggers would post their looks and blog their stories first before uploading in their other social media platforms. Me - I normally post straight to my lookbook account before I blog hahah. Guess I have more other content to share and post lah~ And there's still so many stories behind the outfit posts that I want to share but there's so little time to write hehehe. Oh well ... here goes my next post ...

You can see how much I love how longsleeves tops like this one as they can easily transform your look to something more formal. Good take on office wear I guess. It's even much better when it has this cute emblem ala-Harry Potter if I may say; making the look more college-like! Even perfect for a younger look & feel! I'm dominated with stripes in this look hence I say it's oh so nautical! ⚓ I spent time looking for that anchor icon as well to go with my look's title. LOL. Crazy right? I know!

There's a reason behind every style. There's a story behind every look. Bloggers spend time to tell those tales that others couldn't. Some might say we give such a big fuss over outfit posts and takes. But it's as important as every story that non-bloggers tell their friends. The only difference is that, we managed to put them in a post like this one. And we share it to the rest of the world, smooth sailing via cable wires and internet connections. Because we know in one way or another, our posts could inspire someone else ... the way we were inspired to dress up ... and the way that other people couldn't even spark that inspiration ....

At last! Now I know what it's really called! LOL. Call me noob but lah~ I don't really have a deep grasp of these fashion items yet hehe. I'm in love with fashionable items but so geek in that aspect yet so pardon me if I don't call them right. LOL.

All I knew before was, it's similar to the Prada sunnies; it has curving temples with rounded frames; and there's a lot of imitation products out there. But thank goodness for The Sunglasses Shop UK for hosting this great giveaway that I finally know what it's called and I can even get a chance to get one. You too!

Bloggers like you and me can get a chance to win this designer eyewear called "Prada 27NS" in baroque style and tortoise shell design / color (if I'm not mistaken?) Originally, I just saw a black one and now, I think there are lots of variations already. Different colors and designs on the temple frames!

It's definitely one of the most lusted over design in the accessories realm! And because The Sunglasses Shop is so generous, they're giving it away to bloggers for free!

Obviously, this look is inspired by 2NE1, coming from the term "Blackjack" since 2NE1 fans are aptly called. I myself am one of 'em!

Their music video entitled I AM THE BEST (내가 제일 잘 나가) which you can view here: Youtube - I Am The Best in its "all black glory" has become my inspiration for this look. I wasn't trying to look particularly like one of them though since it's all glossy and latex and all that I guess, but something chic and black fun might somehow look like it, I guess hehe.

KPOP has influenced me in so many ways too. The way I listen to music (which is mostly KPOP now indeed hehe); the way I dress up casually; the way I style myself; make up; party get up, etc.

While cosplay in itself as a hobby has helped me more, I must say Korean Fashion has been is one of the styles I follow and do most of the time. If you follow my blog, you'll see that one of my fashion resources is Asianvogue Shop and most of my outfits since way back then are from this shop ... or similar!

And this time around, when I'm not in my formal or corporate attire, during "casual mode", this is one of the ways I dress up - KPOP style!
