Twenty Minutes and Sixty Dollars Later... (Work Edition!)

So. I decided that it would be much better if I just went to Sylvia Park and just bought a top, skirt and shoes instead of going home cos I was interning in Grey Lynn and didn't think I'd have enough time to go back home before going to work cos I got called in at 12.30pm.

This is what I ended up with. Not bad for a complete outfit (minus jacket) for $60, don't you think? And I will most probably wear the top in my day-to-day wear as well! Bonus! =) (this is how I pretty much buy all/most of my -black- work wear... as well as meeting work wear standards also has to meet my general would I wear this in my day-to-day life?)

I'm also contemplating/toying with the idea of opening another website where I share tips, advice and just general posts on fashion, beauty, DIY, etc? Good idea? I just feel that I don't want to 'contaminate' my personal blog and this blog with other things... I'd also want to of course possibly open it to readers contributing too. But, anyways, comments would be appreciated! Enjoy this post. If you've read all of this, you are awesome. Have a heart, ♥ or two..  ♥♥

Top: Temt, $9.99 // Skirt: Temt, $29.99 // Shoes: Garage, The Warehouse, $20 

L-R (top, clockwise): Close of top, love the neckline... // Shoes close up, love the little bow details! // My daily jewellery, with subsitions of course, sometimes. // Semi-close up of the bow ring. $5 at Bling. Bargain! <3

And, that is what I wore today, to work. And pretty much 80% of what I would normally wear to a day of work at the electronics store. And that cost less than $100 and just over $50!

Neglect

I know that I have definitely been neglecting this since I finished 30 for 30. I will photograph my outfit tomorrow... I know that I probably should have continued but... well, started a new job and well, adjusting to the new waking up time and so don't have that much time to document, and then I get tired (after only working three) hours >_<) I'm sorry. I do admit it'll be nice for me to document some of or all of what I wear to work. For now, here's a pic of what I wore on Wednesday 4th May for my friend's graduation... it's pretty much one of my 30 for 30 outfits but with a pink jacket.

Top: Pagani; Jacket: Unknown; Skirt: Glassons; Shoes: The Warehouse (Garage)

I don't know but dressing like this makes me look (obviously!) more polished, put together and just in general nice...

30 for 30: 27/30

Nearly this whole outfit is from Glassons with exception to the shoes and stockings! Hence the title. Just a day... or night of shopping at the mall and having a nice dinner with bf. ^^

Just Another Day

Tuesday, April 26, 2011

30 for 30: 26/30

Singlet: Supre; Top: Jay Jays; Skirt: GMD (chinese brand); Jacket: Valleygirl; Shoes: Garage (The Warehouse)

Sorting out insurance stuff for my crashed car, trip to the pet doctor for my guinea pig and lunch with family at the mall :)

Dressing Up

30 for 30: 23/30

Dress: Jay Jays; Jacket: Valleygirl; Shoes: Garage (The Warehouse)

Decided to wear the dresses I put in my 30 for 30 stash of clothes. After all there was a picnic to attend to today~ =) I was also going to wear my boots but... I don't  know if the weather allowed for it, as in it could have been quite hot and maybe not appropriate for kneeling down for picnic-type stuff...

Something Important

30 for 30: 13/30

Top: Farmers; Skirt: GMD (Chinese brand); Jacket: Valleygirl; Shoes: Garage (The Warehouse)

This was no doubt a day in which I classified it as a day that I needed to look put together, professional and neat. This is the outfit.

Getting Close To The End!!

30 for 30: 22/30

Top: Supre; Skirt: Lippy; Jacket: Valleygirl; Shoes: Garage (The Warehouse)

Similar-ish to yesterday's.. just with different blazer and skirt, unfortunately....

Colour. ish.

30 for 30: 21/30

Top: Supre; Skirt: Topshop; Jacket: Unknown; Shoes: Garage (The Warehouse)

Adding colour with the pink jacket blazer.

Lazy Days and Simplicity

30 for 30: 20/30

Top: Forever New; Skirt: GMD (Chinese brand); Shoes: Garage (The Warehouse)

Nice floral-y top and simple black skirt. Another thing I need to do is top mix it up with the shoes... I do admit they are VERY versastile! And also just very simple to add to dress up an outfit, like for a job interview or to just finish a simple casual outfit!

Coporate Casual

30 for 30: 17/30

Top: Pagani; Skirt: Glassons; Jacket: Valleygirl; Shoes: Garage (The Warehouse)

Job interview hence nice corporate casual style.

Just Another Day

30 for 30: 16/30

Top: Forever New and Supre; Jeans: Chinese brand; Jacket: Glassons; Shoes: Garage (The Warehouse)

A day of volunteering and then getting soaked like a drowned rat! Not a fun day. But quite rewarding and got some free stuff! =)

All In A Day's Work

30 for 30: 15/30

Top: Jay Jays; Jeans: Chinese brand; Cardigan: Glassons; Shoes: Garage (The Warehouse)

Mystery shop, work and tyre fixing.... and then rounded off with a visit to the mall and Indian for dinner with BF! ^-^

Put Together. Again?

30 for 30: 14/30

Shirt: Pagani; Skirt: GMD; Shoes: Garage (The Warehouse)

I do realize that I should actually utilize the other shoes that I have picked out for this challenge but just can't get over the versatality of these flats! Quite comfortable tooo! <3 them. I forgot what I did today or the reason for the pulling out the blouse. There was something that I did before the mystery shop.... but forgot.

Also, gGot a flat tyre without even knowing it although I did know there could have been something wrong when I noticed a sound coming from the side of the tyre that was flat.... and had a recruitment meeting today.

A Walk To The Shops

30 for 30: 12/30

Redness

30 for 30: 09/30

Top: Forever new; Skirt: Lippy; Cardigan: Glassons; Shoes: The Warehouse (Garage)

A day slept sleeping after  mystery shopping... was incredibly tired for some reason...

Friday Night Lights (And Interviews)

30 for 30: 08/30

 Top: Farmers; Skirt: Glassons; Jacket: Valleygirl; Shoes: The Warehouse (Garage)

Why is it that sometimes my images are blurry and not that great when at 540 height and sometimes they're good?! :( I do want them to be the same size and consistent.... but anyways, Friday was a work interview then rushing around from city to Takapuna to Brown's Bay then back... busy-ness then finally rounded off with a little night out at bars with friends, minus the booze. And I also realize that it's the same shoes... but its too not cold enough for boots or anything else and too semi-cold and not warm enough for something that doesn't have the closed-toeness of this particular pair of shoes....

Just A Lovely Day

30 for 30: 07/30

Top: Supre; Cardigan: Glassons; Skirt: Glassons; Shoes: The Warehouse (Garage)

I worked, then hung out at the mall then went out to dinner at GPK with BF. A lovely day dressed in this :)

Just Go With It.... like the movie, but better I think.

30 for 30: Outfit 06/30

 

Top: Supre, Skirt: Trademe (Topshop), Jacket: Valleygirl, Stockings: The Warehouse Shoes: The Warehouse (Garage)

A backlog of outfits to post... I actually forgot what happened on this day... =\ on these days, I rely on ASB's internet banking to check what I spent that day. I went to see Just Go With It! And had Subway for dinner... not that it explains much or makes me come up with an interesting title... other than the name of the film, oh well. Good enough.

Getting Cold

30 for 30: 05/30

Top: Jay Jays; Skirt: GMD (Chinese label); Jacket: Valleygirl; Shoes: Garage (The Warehouse) Stockings: Kmart
