Shoes: Sportsgirl
I'm not really sure what I was going for with this outfit! I started off with this burnt orange-coloured pair of pleated culottes with gold buttons at the top, which in my opinion was reminiscent of a Japanese schoolgirl uniform. The reason I pulled it out was because I had never worn it out since, and I didn't just want to leave it to collect dust. However I encountered great difficulty in trying to match it with my other clothes. I think the culottes are now too young for my style and I just didn't like them anymore, a fashionable reflection of a bygone age of my life.
The navy blue blazer I ended up pairing the culottes up with, seems to be more work-appropriate and an indication ahead of my imminent corporate life. I didn't intend to wear the clothing items like this, but the contrast between the schoolgirlish culottes and the corporate blazer really does reflect reality. I'm about to graduate soon and can finally put an end to years of hard study since 1999 (I started going to tutoring when I was 9 in preparation for the OC Test! I can't believe I have been studying since!) I'm so excited to start working as I love the idea of earning money rather than spending it on uni fees, but it will be difficult to get used to! Therefore in a corny sense, this outfit does sort of reflect my real life situation of being in a transition stage, going from study to work lol.
So pretty as always, Izzy!
ReplyDeleteAmazing autumn outfit, love it <3

I think the burnt orange and the navy work really well together! And I love that belt with the gold on your blazer :)

Oh Izzy, this is such a chic outfit :) I love how youve managed to tie everything together so well, from the complimentary shoes and coat to to gold details. An I'm surprised they're culouttes and not a 'genuine' skirt hehe, the dark tan is such a lovely colour c: It makes the fabric look like a soft felt! It does have a Japanese school girl uniform feel, a slight nautical feel too! It's really rewarding to hear you've been working so hard since Year 9 and it'll all be worth it when you graduate, congrats IZzy :) And I like the transition adage haha, lovely outfit as always!
ReplyDeletelovely colors! I'm looking forward to fall when I see this combination..
ReplyDeleteI love your coat! You really look great <3

love this outfit!
ReplyDeletei think i saw you the other day on the way to uni, we cross paths near the kebab shop

I'm glad you're looking forward to starting working life next year! I'm not.. I can't imagine the early mornings, working through three thirty-itis, and the idea of working full time plus studying CA (chartered accountants) program + graduate diploma program. Not to mention I'm literally going to be spending my time in front of a computer 24/7.. but at least it means money to fund the online shopping addiction haha.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous look ! :)

loving the autumn feeling the pictures gives, it looks like it comes from some korea drama. in love with the blazer and the skirt, the belt is just perfect too, you are as usual so stunning. also loving how school girlish it looks, reminds me of K-On!
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous, Izzy, per usual! Loving how polished and feminine this look is; kind of like a more updated and grown-up version of a private school uniform, haha. Definitely a lovely transitional look to fall, as subtly emphasized by your pumpkin-hued pleated skirt! :) Love how the gold hardware belt matches your button and I'm both in love with and coveting those cool peep-toe sandals!

This is a fabulous look. I think you should keep these great culottes for a while more, they could be a great layering piece for fall with tights and clogs.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who knows those kind of shorts are called culottes. You don't ever hear that word anymore! LOL. I can see how they are youthful, but I think you completely made them age appropriate. That navy blazer and those heels scream adult and the culottes just end up looking like a really cute short skirt. I think this is a fabulous outfit! <3

You look lovely, Izzi! There's an air of elegance around you and the whole outfit seem to fall into once place together. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your new beginning in life! x
I love this early fall outfit! The belt is beautiful too (I'm obsessed with belts XD). I totally understand your feelings, I'm dying thinking that not only I have to take a MS. course, but most probably also a Ph.D one. I'd rather work already than study for such a long time :/
ReplyDeleteI want your blazer!! Love the whole look, your skirt made your outfit pop!
ReplyDeleteHope the transition is a smooth and exciting one Izzy :) I've got another year and a half to go ... The outfit is really charming, I'm especially loving the shoes!
ReplyDeleteLooove that blazer! And this has such a school girl feel to it ^^
