The LOOK- Time to shine!

I was born in beautiful tropical Sri Lanka, so far me how I feel has a lot to do with if it’s sunny outside or not. Living in Dubai this never really becomes an issue until a gloomy, sandy day like today rolls around.

My husband always jokes that this is the very reason why I’d have a tough time living in Europe (He’s from Holland so he should know). Nonetheless, the minute I got out of bed and saw the brown sky outside my window I immediately knew I wouldn't be in the mood to do glamour today.

Instead I decided to opt for a more relaxed ‘it’s the weekend’ look and threw on my favourite jeans and white tee ensemble. Have a look at my style below. 

1. Black super skinny ankle length jeans from New Look- AED 65

2. Basic white t-shirt from Tchibo- AED 20

3. Electric blue cotton blazer from H&M- AED 100

4. Black ballet flats with gold bow detail from ALDO- AED 100

I had left my black stilettos at work so the minute i got to my desk i changed into those. You can incorporate either shoe depending on the occasion. 

The necklace I paired with this outfit was my mums and is one she picked up at Global Village years ago. Because of how old it is neither of us can remember how much we paid for it. I've just added the picture below to show you how you can use a similar piece for an outfit with these colours. A red necklace would also have been a great addition. :)

If you've got the blues and don't feel like making a supreme effort with your wardrobe, then this simple classic style might just be the ticket! Remember while mixing different shades of the same colour to keep it simple and as close to each other (in terms of their hue) as possible.
