Unlike
the popular TV show of the same name, my F&F outfit for this week is
neither vulgar nor scary. :)
My
husband and I just recently celebrated our three year wedding anniversary and
as a result decided it was finally time to get our Marriage certificate UAE
attested. This required a quick trip to the UAE Foreign Ministry and as all you
Dubai ladies know, that means covering up if you don't want some strange man
gawking at you like you were a three tier gooey hot fudge sundae.
With
that in mind, I decided to put a little edge into a staple spring trend (bright
hues) and make this look modest enough for running official errands and
versatile enough for either work or play. Take a look at the ensemble below. :)
Orange shift top from
Mexx- AED 155. This
was a gift and is a double layered t-shirt that consists of an orange vest with
a similar short sleeved chiffon overlay on top. This piece is ideal for such an
errand as it is comfortable and drapes modestly.
Super skinny black
Jeans from New Look- AED 65. Now
as per one of fashions basic rules, If your top is baggy then your bottom
should always be fitted. Pairing these
super skinnys with the baggy orange top helped me define silhouette as well as
stay on trend.
Dark Blue denim
blazer by NEXT- AED 250.
This piece is one of my style staples for this season! The classic blazer cut
and dark denim fabric make it versatile and oh so chic. You can pair this with
some jeans and a sparkly tee to run errands or just throw it over a fabulous dress
before you head out to dinner.
Black leather ballet
flats from Carrefour- AED 30. When
I first came to Dubai in 2003, my mum and I stumbled on these cute little shoes
at Carrefour. They were displayed in several colours but I decided to buy the
black and never regretted it. They gave me five comfortable years before moving
on to that great shoe box in the sky and now 12 years later I managed to get
the same pair for the same price! I’m hoping to enjoy these for many years to
come J
Orange and black hoop
earrings from New Look- AED 20 (on sale)
Snakeskin tote by GUESS- AED 380. I love how the bluish grey tones of this classy tote offer a contrast to the bright orange and black ensemble. Since the denim jacket is blue it matches the tote in a mismatched way and gives that little extra something to the entire outfit.
White gold and
crystal wristwatch by Continental- AED 675.
Brown matte lipstick
from MaxFactor- AED 75
To make this look more corporate, simply exchange the denim jacket for a black blazer and the ballet flats for a pair of black leather stilettos.
