Bec & Bridge jumper

Practicability never really played a strong role in my outfit choices, but then again, I rarely had to contend for snowy Stockholm weather either. Practical would be bundling myself in layers of cashmere and leather; but my version of practical is wearing a half-sheer jumper that has just the right amount of shimmer in the low-lit bar next to Berns.

Bec & Bridge shirt | Eska Alikai skirt

I couldn't help myself, I had to take a few photos of this outfit my friend was wearing. I'm a big fan of white leather skirts (as evidenced here) especially because its a great way to include leather in your spring/summer wardrobe; not that leather in all forms and colours shouldn't be worn all through summer (especially in the form of shorts!). I love how she's chosen the sheer Bec & Bridge shirt to add a hint of floral and colour into the outfit.

It's fun to be business on top and party on the feet.

plaid

Uniqlo plaid shirt // Bec & Bridge skirt // Steve Madden heels // Cheap Monday cuff

Plaid was splashed all over the runway in New York and London this season- although it was a much more modern take compared to the shirt I'm sporting. I loved it so much in the 3.1 Phillip Lim show that I had to pull this from the bottom of my pile. It really didn't leave my clothing circulation but Phillip Lim really made me crave wearing plaid- I can't wait until this collection is available online! I thought Topshop Unique did a great job too- although I'm still not okay spending anything more than average high street price on Topshop, even if it is part of the collections. 

I picked this plaid shirt up at Uniqlo when I was in Hong Kong almost 4 years ago (and this shirt too). I can't really explain how comfy these shirts are. I decided to mix it up with something that I recently acquired, this amazing Bec & Bridge peplum/trumpet skirt. Peplum has been such a strong trend recently and even though everyone is raving about it, it really doesn't suit my body type (i.e. without-a-waist) but this skirt really satisfies my peplum craving but it adheres to my body shape.
