It's All in the Details

There is nothing like that feeling of waking up, getting ready for the day, picking out your outfit without being in two-minds, and giving yourself that nod of approval for a job well done. This after stepping outside and your outfit steals a few looks from those passing by. And the satisfactory feeling of knowing that you are ‘styling’, all the while being very comfortable and appropriate for the temperamental weather. What then, is the difference between wearing a plain long-sleeve, versus wearing a long-sleeve with a cut-out, or wearing ordinary jeans versus ripped jeans, or wearing a common belt versus a belt with a different colour buckle?....Style! The fashionistas on Instagram have already educated us on the difference between wearing a garment and styling one. And ohh… it is true. Sometimes, all the work is already done when you purchase a garment that has a little something to it. May it be that it is sewn with a unique material like satin or chiffon, bedazzled with embellishments or sewn-in badges, or even styled with a cut-out feature or made without a sleeve while the other arm is a sleeve to the wrist. These garments enable us to look good with minimal effort. And even allows us to reserve the plain garments for when you wish to style out with jewellery, hats and even purses. Either way, those garments add variety to our wardrobes. One of these garments for me is this Black Long-Sleeve Bodysuit with a Cut-out Detail on the chest. It needs not any necklaces or scarves and paired well with my Stonewash Wide-Leg Ripped Jeans and No-Name White Sneakers. And to top it all off, I added my Coffee Brown Belt with a Gold Buckle, which created a comfy look for the week.
