Miss Monday!

bodycon dress from blackmilkproject RM47 | quilted oversized tote from babe access RM34 | chained necklace RM28, and bracelet RM25 from delirious | pumps from moonstruck closet RM80

i have bitter, strange-behaving colleagues who can get offended if you come in all colorful on a blue monday. they say it's a mockery, rubbing salt to the wound, wearing colors on a blue monday. (puns intended. i still heart them. long time. tee-hee) ... so, miss doodle has since smartened up in kicking away monday blues looking nice, but non-color offensive!

go monochrome! check out this stylish bodycon dress in black with smart, striking swirls in white! i'd reckon that it has a very slimming effect with the white swirls - a most important factor when wearing a bodycon (cus it's body hugging).

here's more gorgeous black and white bodycon dress from blackmilkproject!

match it with an oversized tote with black quilted bottom and gold colored chain handle. i like quilted stuff, kinda just adds in a touch of sophistication somehow.

accessories with delirious's latest collection, chained necklace and bracelets. i think they're just classy, with stylish simplicity connecting just varieties of chains. lastly, heighten up with a 4-inches high pumps in dual tone. nice!

playful formal!

there's this serious sara in my workplace, who wears only black formal shirt, black formal a-line skirt, black formal handbag, and black formal 2" pumps, cus according to her, formal has got to be so serious, she can't do colors.

that's gotta be some serious formal curse. *gasp*... now says who formal has gotta be serious!? let miss doodles inject some colors into your formal world!

well, conservatively saying, there is a certain truth that black brings about "serious" formalness, but the trick to injecting colors, is to not overdo it! the safest way to go colorful without being a pain-in-the-eye-colorful at your office place, is to go pastel!

slip on this loose fitting tunic top in fresh apple green! comfy, and an instant freshening dash of color! the front bow serves perfectly as a formal sash with a hint of playfulness! pair with a pastel fitting pencil skirt, which is important to draw back the hourglass shape below your loose tunic top. the uniqueness of this skirt, is actually at the back. check out the layered frills with a bow at the top back! if you wanna show it off, just wear your top tucked in!

now the shoes, keep it sleek and simple. so i'll go for a white christian louboutin! again, sleek and simple don't mean plain, just like this 3-buckled pumps! one-of-a-kind!

and the bag - same rules! sleek and simple - and i'm going for kate spade in striking pink and matching bow to bring about some contrast for my pastel clothing. i personally love kate spade cus of its impeccable yet classy simplicity. not too mention, their dashing colors are always an attention getter!
