DRESS UP!

I love the left one!

I used to not wear dresses due to the fact that I used to be a little boyish when I was younger. Back then, I thought acting all girlie was pretty uncool (for me). BUT NOW, as i get older wiser, I feel that showing off my demure side is much more age appropriate. Career wise, I feel that being fashionable and creative sells and reflects myself as a designer. Having a tight budget, I think investing on dresses is surely lagi affordable than buying a pair of jeans. A pair of Levis would cost me RM300 and it only covers the bottom part of my body! But a dress would on cost me around RM40 -RM 80 but boleh cover semua lah ok plus a much more sophisticated look!

When buying a dress, I would prefer it to be plain, flowy and simple (that is the key to be chic with success!). The dress needs to be simple so that I can mix and match and most importantly, I wont bump in to another person wearing the same dress!

Choose contrasting colors for a little 'pop'

Choose colors that harmonize just to be safe

Free your creativity when wearing a simple dress. Pair it with a cardigan for a subtle look or a blazer for a chic look or even a rider jacket for an edgier look. Those who wears hijab, go wild with the patterns of your hijab. Choose colors that compliment to dress safe or color that contrasts for an arty outcome! Either way, just dress up confidently!

Chic-ness!

Oxford Booties. I love!

Shoes are just a plus point for me. It doesnt really matter to me because tak ada siapa yang boleh nampak kaki I pon so who cares? But then again, I always pair up dresses with either oxford boots, basic black boots, pump shoes or even strappy sandals for the laid back look.

 # Oh well, got myself the pink one from www.thepoplook.com. I cant wait for the parcel to arrive!!!

HOW TO DRESS UP FOR AN INTERVIEW

A while ago I did post something about branding yourself and why it is important. And today I'm gonna talk about how to dress up for an interview. Dressing up for an interview is as important as branding yourself. As a designer myself, I believe not wearing safe colors for an interview is the key. 

Well you can choose to wear black, white, grey or even brown but have something that pops out for instance, a bright pink colored shawl with a black maxi dress.. brave but safe.

I remembered the time when I went for an interview and i wore a bright red top and a grey shawl with pink flowers on it (yes people.. I'm a tudung girl) and a denim long skirt. I believe designers should portray themselves as what they are through what they wear. Color combination is the key. If you're brave enough, go color blocking! 

Color Blocking office wear?? perhaps..

If the potential employer couldn't recall your name, at least they can remember that you're the candidate who dressed up vibrantly (and pleasantly of course) not boringly! What you wear for an interview is the impression that you're gonna give to the potential employer.
