Sponsored: Statement Earrings

Ain't quite nothing like statement earrings to add an impact to your over-all look, no? I love necklaces for accessories too but earrings specially structured ones are making waves in the trends for fall season and these tasseled blue ones from Zaful is just one flirty take on that.

I'd usually leave my outfit at like this sometime before (a crazy mix of prints, oh yeah!) but the addition of the earrings just gave it a bit of something unexpected. Yes? So the next time you head out, try one of those statement earrings and see the difference it makes. Oh, this earring is also available in five more colors and you can use the code below for additional discounts. ;)

#TrioThursdays: Ruffled Skirt

Previously, you've seen a ruffled sleeve, a neckline and a pant hem here. But what about combining this summer's major style trends into a skirt? Yep, for today's hashtag, we'll feature a ruffled skirt in this season's It-print - gingham.*

Let's see what we've got here - a chic midi length, a key placement of frills at the hem that's flattering enough (and not making you look like a flamenco dancer, though I would love that too lol) and in a print that everyone is obsessing over this summer. Yep, Pinterest just confirmed it here.

As mentioned in my other post, the ruffles already act as a statement on their own so with this skirt you can tone down your shoes with flats, sneakers or blocked heels as seen in the three looks below. Which one is your favorite? Btw, since this skirt is so versatile, I might do a second round of #triothursdays post soon. Yay! :D

In Gingham We Trust

If there's one trend that I fully embraced last year, it'd have to be the off-shoulder. See this post. (Here and here too *wink*) To say that I'm happy that the trend is still going strong this year is an understatement. I'm waiting for the style deities to proclaim it as an "evergreen" piece.

Speaking of evergreens, in today's post I am going to feature this print that has stood the test of time and is currently being declared as the "It-print" this summer - the gingham. A two-color combo (the other one being white) pattern that is mostly known for its Dorothy association and uhmm it's place in the picnic should not stop you from wearing it to work for fear of being teased. But did you know that it was once worn by French bombshell Brigitte Bardot in one of her weddings and caused total shortage of the print in France right after? So if it can be worn to a matrimony, then yes you can definitely bring it to the workplace. Rigggghhtttt. Lol.

Seriously. If paired with the right pieces such as white buttondowns and midi skirts, this geometric pattern lends itself very well to the boardroom too. Wanna know how? Then check out how I styled them below. :)
