MET Inspired

In my other lifestyle blog, I made a #threesomethursday post about my work outfit being influenced by recent events.  I can still remember what they were all about.  One is about wearing corsets.  I saw a Huffingtonpost  news article about a girl in Europe who made her waist size smaller by wearing corset everyday.  Not that I'd do the same.  Lol.  The others were about wearing black and white as a tribute to Michael Jackson's death anniversary (of course it was about the song, haha!) and doing a colorblocking of royal colors just in time for the royal birth. ;) 

Yesterday (yes, this post is very recent!) I was resigned to wearing an old combo of black and red at work when inspiration hit me while browsing through the MET Gala 2014 gowns!  Well, it wouldn't be such a highly-anticipated fasion event for nothing!  I'm still in an Emma Stone girlcrush mode after watching The Amazing Spiderman 2 last Friday with my friends at work Sad ending for Gwen Stacy tough (*tear) but I mean seriously, who doesn't adore Emma Stone? :)  Pink and Emma and automatically she's in my one of the best dressed list.  And please, let's not talk about how adorable he and Andrew look together at the red carpet.  So before I swoon further, I give you my Emma-Stone-MET-look-inspired workwear. :)

P.S.  Check out my other blog for a #threesomethursday post about wearing pink and red. :)

If you see a dress modeled by a Victoria's secret vixen Miranda Kerr in a fashion boutique catalog, what's the chance of you wearing it better? Nil.  Nada. Null.  Zero.  Absolute zip.  Haha! This number with contrasting neutrals is something that I will never miss from Mango.  The material, albeit figure-hugging, will always be work-appropriate for me.  In the catalog, Miranda wore it with a huge black belt (like seriously, is there a need to emphasize her already minuscule waist? :)) but thankfully, this yet-another monochrome vest has always got my back (or rather my waist, haha!).  Didn't wanna deviate from the theme, I wore it with my comfy snakeskin print pumps. :)
