Multi Functionals!!! From Work to Play

 

Christmas is gone & we all are looking forward to the New year but for as far back as I can remember, I've always thought of December 24 to Jan 2 as 'The holiday season' and  I am sure lots of people share this sentiment. Some people are lucky, as their Companies close down for the year and all these days are free for them. For some of us, we still have to work in between even though I am not sure just how much work gets done. This doesn't change our mood however, as as we're still in the holiday spirit and the End of the Year party invites are still pouring in......how do we go to work & go to play; all in one outfit?



Not everyone one has the luxury or time to go home and change before attending the many holiday/work parities or social gatherings with friends. So instead of forfeiting an invite, here are some key outfit pieces that will help you seamlessly switch from work to play.

 

Simple! Break out the semi-formal clothes and rock them! Chiffon tops, Tulip dresses, Smart pants......what have you! Choose flattering pieces that can be accessorized effortlessly........Change the earrings, add a chunky neck piece, add a bracelet, change your shoes, remove the blazer , add a sparkly belt........The list is endless.

So don't let going to work this season dampen your spirit, or make u reject party invites, just switch this around. Enjoy your holiday ladies.........@ work or @ play!!!

The Hound’s-tooth : Rock The Pattern, Not The Bite!!!

Has anyone ever imagined that a “dog-tooth shape” can be considered fashionable? Beats me!

 

The hound’s-tooth pattern is a duotone pattern with broken checks and the textile was created in Scotland, originated in woven wool cloth as early as 1885! It is also known as the dog-tooth, because the checks that make up the design resemble a dog’s canine. A smaller version of this pattern is called a puppy-tooth.  

A lot of fashion trends breeze in and fizzle out within a short time but the hound’s-tooth pattern does not. It has been around since 1885 and your guess is as good as mine: it’s not going out of fashion anytime soon! The pattern often comes in black and white; though, sometimes, it comes in a variety of other shades like yellow, green, red etc.

 

The hounds tooth pattern is seen on items such as dresses, cardigans, shoes, bags, belts et al. You also see this pattern on household items, phone cases, duvet, iPad cases, mugs, nail art amongst others. This shows the versatility of the trend.

 “Classic makes no mistakes”; rock the hounds-tooth design in the work place and create that classic impression.
