Outfit #15

Untitled #93 by labelleestlabete

Another casual work outfit today. This is a set that I made for my old job, which didn't have a dress code (it was in the tech industry, so a dress code was pretty fruitless).
I'm using similar items to the sets here and here, but replacing the jeans with elastic-waisted trousers. I normally wear these with a longer top because they can be a bit unflattering just below the waistband. 
I used a different scarf this time, from Chan Luu. It's cashmere and silk and it's the best scarf I've ever bought. It never fails me.
I added cowboy boots to stop the trousers looking too uncool (elastic waist, remember), and added the trusty Boda Skins jacket.

Outfit #12

Oh goodness, are we using something other than solid black today?!

I came up with this outfit while playing Style Boutique, and the top is very similar to one that was in the "cool" section. I made it per in-game customer request, which is great for thinking up new ideas. They all talk too damn much, though, which leads to mashing of the A button and then missing what they wanted and having to read it all again. Fun times.

Because the top is long, I used leggings instead of jeans. I don't especially like wearing leggings as pants, because if the fabric is a bit thin, your undies show. Lulu Lemon had this problem with their yoga pants a while ago. Under a long top, though, the issue disappears completely (and literally).

For jewellery, I used the square bracelet from Rebecca's Elizabeth range, and headband with a buckle to match the bag.

The boots are from American Eagle, but you can find pretty much the same style on Ebay. I'm not normally a huge fan of fringes on clothing (it makes me think of either line dancing or Coachella, neither of which are my thing), but these are pretty damn cute. 

So, to sum up - I recreated an outfit from a video game. Not sure how I feel about myself right now.
