I'm a colour, jewellery & hat gal but sometimes even I support the notion that less is more. This week's Inspiration Monday challenge provided me with the perfect opportunity to exercise my accessorizing restraint. It was hard for me not to pile on the jewels or add a splash of brights but I like how it turned out. I wore this outfit on Saturday night for sushi and comedy with a close friend. One of the (senior, overwight and sweaty) comedians decided to strip down to his underwear and then treat horrify the audience with bizarre magic tricks including a vacuum and fabric. He then proceeded to call an unsuspecting lady on stage to feed him a banana. He must have been high on something, that's the only explanation...

P.S. Happy Chinese New Year! Want to know which colour is thought to scare away evil spirits? Check out my blog post for Lilac Lingerie here.
I love this look on you! The grey blazer is so chic and I love your striped socks. That comedian sounds...interesting. Definitely high. Oh, and I don't know if I have ever washed my walls, either, so don't worry!
ReplyDeleteI seriously love this minimalistic look on you - it so works for your hair, which looks amazing!

I love this look on you! And your hair looks really nice these days, too. Not that it didn't before. But you know. I dig what ya got going on now. And I LOVE the lip color!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had an...interesting? weekend!
Great job with the inspiration! Those striped socks are the icing on the cake :)
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely. I totally agree that less can be more. I'm real guilty of wearing to many colors/accessories too but sometimes it's better to just throw on a couple simple things that look great on you. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job. I like it best without the jacket. I suppose a little cold for that right now!
ReplyDeleteemily's looking hot without the jacket. was the comedy show bad or funny or both?
ReplyDeleteI adore your outfit. You know I'm a huge fan of blazers, anyway. It looks great without the jacket, too!

UM hello! Aren't you adorable?!?
ReplyDeleteSo glad you stopped by my bloggy so I could find yours!
I am in love with this outfit!
And I am major curious what kind of tricks this comedian could have done in his undies. with a vacuum.. Ick. HAHA
Consider me your newest follower :) :)
wow lol what a interesting show indeed...
ReplyDeleteand I love this outfit...I am learning how to incorporate colour into my wardrobe, but I love the simplicity of the darker shades :)
I think your outfit is very chic! black probably just is a colour which can turn an outfit kind of classy and sophisticated.. at least in my opinion :P anyway, you look totally great!

I love the striped socks! So cute! This is a really nice outfit! It's chic!
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to say, it may have been strange when you were there, but your description of the comedian sounds rather hilarious actually! Poor lady that had to feed him the banana though! I haven't been to a comedy show in years but I know we have a comedy club here, might have to check it out sometime.
I prefer my comedians to keep their pants on, thank you very much. :) While that show must have been crazy, you look very simple and sophisticated. It's a whole new Emily! Like an evil twin, but less evil and more fashionable.
ReplyDeleteI took this look the same way as you--a challenge to dial it down a bit, hence creating somewhat of a new look for myself:) I really love you blazer and the striped socks are uber-cute! Washing walls? I've never heard of it! LOL
ReplyDeleteI think the focus of this outfit is your gorgeous face. But that's just me.
ReplyDeleteVery very cute!
xo,
Tracy

I like the minimalism. I have a hard time not reaching for accessories too. And that comedy show sounds HORRIBLE. I was squealing in embarrassment just reading about it. Haha!

cute look. Happy Chinese New Year.
ReplyDeleteSimple? Simply fabulous! I love those socks, absolutely LOVE.:)
ReplyDeletethat sounds like one crazy show, haha.
ReplyDeletei'm one to pile it on, but streamlined is nice.
Chic on the Cheap
I definitely like this less is more monochrome outfit on you. Very stylish and elegant, you really don't need accessories because the top has nice ruffles and the stripes on your tights have really nice subtle details!

Minimalist days can be refreshing sometimes! Also, I'm super jealous of your cool hair. The colour really pops against the neutral outfit.
