Yellow for Proceed with Caution

Creamy, with a hell lot of mustard in, like a dessert disaster, is one colour that I am drawn to. I drooled over this long blazer the first time I saw it at the BIFASH event with Ainul and I had to come in the second time to purchase it (took my time drawing a list of WANT vs NEED). ANNDDD because great minds think alike, Ainul even purchased one! 

So what me & Ainul thought of together was how we would incorporate mustard in our daily wear... although in my case I was thinking of how far such colour can be business-appropriate. Granted me and the colour wheel go way back and associating complementary colours together is inherited in my DNA so a very easy formula that I usually work with is pairing neutrals with bright colours. As for Ainul, she pulled off a very chic casual lookbook with an already busy printed shawl.

On me:

Scarf - Hijabelle

Blouse - Zalora

Trousers - Yasmieen Zara

Heels - ZARA

On Ainul:

Scarf - ARIANA

Blouse - Zalora

Pants - River Island

Heels - VINCCI

And the beautiful long blazer is from a new Indonesian brand by Syafina Feriyal (to think coming back to Brunei would mean less of me buying outerwear!). 

{OOTD} Legally Miss Sunshine

OKAY so there is a story behind these banana trousers. For the past two months since I've started working, I've succumb to the system and wore baju kurung to work and if not I would be wearing black all the way. One day after a meeting my boss in his own words said, "why is it you law people always wear black?? please wear something colourful!"

With that in mind, I've gone completely unorthodox and I've started wearing colours again (and pants!). It's not a suprise as there seems to be an unspoken rule that the quintessential legal silhouette comes in Black & White. Since I'm also teaching in some days, I'm given the best of both worlds. 

I'm really digging the blazer from Galore-Ra as it is airy and the size that I'm wearing fits me perfectly. Or that I'm biased because I am obsessed with outerwears!

love,
