Party Purrfect

I am going all out today! I wore this outfit to my work Christmas party. I knew I was going to wear something red, but I decided to wear one stand-out red piece with contrasting black in many textures. I opted for a matt sequin camisole, a strappy lace bralette, liquid leggings and my trusty OTK boots. I added hints of red on the nails, lips and earrings. As I was doing my make-up, my man pointed out that my outfit had major Catwoman vibes... You know what? He's right! Although that was the furthest inspiration, it turns out this look is very much in line with the feline villain. From the form-fitted, leather-like bottoms to the dramatic thigh-high boots, the monochromatic black and the bold cat-eye, even I can't deny the similarities. Other than the pops of red, this is Selina Kyle through and through... I played up the edge factor with the hair and makeup and ended up with one fiercely festive look!

TBT - Shining Bright

You honestly can't go wrong with red and bling for the festive season. I wore this about three years ago, and would still opt for this very outfit during the current holiday season. I actually still own all of the pieces from this look and it would be perfect for a more low-key family affair. It's dressy and festive, yet super comfy. It's basically skinny jeans with a loose-fitting tank and boyfriend blazer. These are all super-casual garments. It's your everyday formula, in festive colours and finishes. Super basic, yet spot-on!

TBT - Cardinal Rule

I had worn this outfit a few years ago and still love the look! I simply built on the basics here. A sleek black dress, pointed flats and a blazer. I jazzed up the look by opting for a red blazer and added pops of turquoise to give it a bit of contrast and finish off the outfit. The geometric fish nets also add their fair share of interest. The effect is eye-catching, yet somewhat sleek and timeless. The geometric pattern makes the fishnets more work-appropriate than their traditional counterparts. The accessories are what makes this look! It's fun, appropriate and classy all at the same time. This would be a great school teacher look as the kids will like the colours and interesting accessories, while the cut and tailoring will rule the classroom!

TBT - Red Blazer

With Christmas just around the corner, red will be a recurring colour in my outfits. It's just so festive and cheerful! I had actually worn this outfit on Valentine's Day a few years back and think it would work equally as well during the festive season. I've noticed that I wear this blazer a lot more in December and February than any other time of year. What can I say? I'm a thematic dresser: ready for any occasion! Brace yourselves because I predict a downpour of red this holiday season!!!
