Bright Green, Black and Mint Pearls.
I wore this Outfit to a very important work meeting, just this Monday. I wanted to look dressy, polished, classy and professional and I think I achieved the look I was going for. A Simple Black Dress can work for such an occasion and the Dress I am wearing is pretty casual, but I dressed it up and made it work-ready here. Which is easy to do by adding a Blazer. Instead of a Neutral Blazer I went for a Bright one. This Emerald Green Blazer was the right pop I needed. Then some Statement-making Red via my MK Bag and on the lips and I was done for the color pops. Last but not least I added some Classy Pearls and simple Crystal Studs on the ears. For my Shoes: a bit of Pink because I wore my Blush/Powder Pink Patent Leather Pumps. It is Breast Cancer AWearNess after all. I got many compliments on this outfit. Here is a Similar Outfit where I paired another Black Shirt-dress with a Blazer and Neutral Shoes. I wore that one for Easter this year. Have you worn a Simple LBD or a Black Shirt-dress with a Blazer before? Do you like this look?

I always enjoy dressing up a black dress, I did recently with my eShakti dress. That green blazer looks great with the dress and I think the nude heels were a perfect choice, too.
ReplyDeleteVery Chic. Green looks awesome on you.
ReplyDeleteI love the whole look Ada! You achieved the look indeed & inspired me to try pairing green with red! I've never really thought of wearing the two colours together! You look smashing.
ReplyDeleteI really love the colour of your blazer! it's such a vibrant colour & suits you alot.
Your MK bag is my fav & I'm coveting over the same style in black.
I hope your meeting went well!
Wishing you a wonderful w-end all the way from across the pond:)
