JKT Part 3

Move over slung-jacket look, draped vest is now the new in! :P Or at least according to me. That, and jumpsuit and the double buckle belt was the theme of my recent JKT biz trip ( if you’re new to my themed dressing , you can click here and here).

I had a scare this biz trip coz I arrived around midnight feeling under the weather. Things got worse the next day when my whole body was in pain and I was chilling for some reason. I had my checkup at the hotel itself and cried after. It’s so hard to be sick when you’re away from home. But I am extremely grateful to my friend Leq (one of our SW engineer) who came with me and my Indonesian girlfriend Ule for sending over some meds. Our plan to drop by my favorite restau/bar pushed through when I was better the next day. Yay!

Anyway, more of the buckled belt looks in my future posts. As mentioned previously, waist is now the body part du jour for fall/ winter so expect more corsets, bustiers and big belts soon. ;)

One and Done (Back in KL)

I don't know but recently aside from thinking of a theme for business trips (here. here and here), I find myself reaching for my reliable jumpsuits on these occasions. Their "one and done" quality makes planning easier plus you'll always look put-together in them. Don't believe me? Let the gallery below speak. :P

Day 1. If you've been following my daily looks at IG (cassey_cakes btw *wink*), you'd know how many ways I've styled this gray jumpsuit I got from a night market in Taipei. Most of them by layering something underneath so it's a first for this to be worn with a blazer. Style tip: A blazer or a smart jacket is almost always necessary for wearing a jumpsuit in the workplace. Choose a shade that is complementary. In this case, I chose red because I need to feel empowered in my presentation. :P

Day 2: I've always felt I needed something in olive and I never thought the opportunity will present itself to me when I found this number from the kids' section of H&M. It's on sale guys and the second to the biggest size available for the kids fit me. IT FITS! Don't you know how happy that makes me? Lol!

The front-zipper details, drawstring waist and cropped effect. What's not to love in this trendy piece?! Already excited about the many ways I could style this! So watch out for it. :) But to make it a little appropriate for the workplace, I added an oversized vest. This color looks good with leopard prints as my accessory here, agree?

Jumpsuits are good and refreshing alternatives to dresses or the usual blouse/ skirt look at work. And with a lot of options out there, I'm pretty sure that you'll find something that would work on you. ;)
