Chic Fall Fashion - Black and White Layers

-

Happy Thursday everyone!

It is a beautiful fall day – little chilly than usual.  I made a mistake wearing a heavy turtleneck sweater to work yesterday.  So I opt for a lighter shirt.

I particularly love this black shirt by Antonio Berardi.  Immediately, I decided to go with black and white ensemble..

When the weather turned to chilly, I always wear a short sleeve light turtleneck sweater under a shirt to keep me warm.  You can also try light tank top if you don’t like turtleneck.  For turtleneck or tank top as undershirt, as long as it tight fit and it is cotton (for comfy level).  You are good.  The short sleeve turtleneck I bought from Banana Republic long time ago.  I wish I bought more than one back then because I wear it all the time when it turns cold.  Anyway, I get all my  
tank tops from Target.

Since the shirt is full of Ruffles, and makes my upper body wider so I put a white pencil skirt to create up side down triangle affect. 

To complete the look, I paired with black and white lace up booties by Malone Souliers.  I discovered the brand last year at www.net-a-porter.  They are very well made, very comfy.  I am in them all day, and didn’t feel like I was wear 4 inch high heels. I received so many compliments too.


I don’t love fall weather.  But I love the idea of wearing Fall Coat.  

Today, I selected black down coat to go with my black and white ensembles.  This down coat I bought from www.yesstyle.com.  The brand is Dabuwawa.  I bought it 4 years ago.  This particular style probably is not there.  But they have many cool stuff there.  The only thing is that it took FOREVER to ship (meaning at least 1 month).  Return is not easy.  So it is like you invest in stock market.  Sometimes, you lose, sometimes, you win.  This coat is definitely a winner.  It is very different from your ordinary down coat, and goes well with almost everything.  It is very light and warm.  A head turning piece.  So happy shopping, and happy exploring.

Happy Friday, Love! I started dress casual on Friday recently.  It is just as much fun as dress up.  Today I picked the simplest ensemble - turtleneck tucked in skinny jeans. I always like to wear turtleneck during cold days.  The look of turtleneck is sophisticate and chic.  However, it is unbearable to wear wool or cashmere turtleneck sweater indoor.  Especially in office often there are many people sitting in a meeting, everyone is a heater.  On top of it, once you are overheated, you loss your train of thoughts...This turtleneck sweater is very light.  It is cotton blend by H&M a couple years ago.    I found the similar style in Zara.  Here is the link https://www.zara.com/us/en/basic-turtleneck-sweater-p08851103.html?v1=7770973&v2=1121003 The jeans is of course from my favorite Jean Shop. www.express.com I sit by floor to Ceiling windows.  It gets chilly with that cold draft.  So I put on light fit down...

My story continues-- As whole evening ordeal ended yesterday, I felt exhausted.  I slept with Alia as I didn't want her to wake up sick and alone.  Opening my eyes this morning, I felt weak and something was coming down.   At the time, Alia was up too.  I said "Mommy doesn't feel well. Can I sleep a little more".  She quietly left room, and closed door behind her. An hour later, I felt better so I got up.  She heard the noise in the room, and came in.  Her face was lit up!  She said "Mommy, do you want to eat breakfast?"  I didn't pay too much attention.  I said "yes, maybe after I take a shower".  She insisted "Mommy, can you eat first, then take a shower?" so I said okay.  She said "come with me Mommy" so I followed. On the table, there were a plate with Strawberries and Raspberry, and cup of Orange juice.  She said proudly "Mommy, I made this for you! I had to climb up to get the plate and cup.  I did al...
