“Wicked” Wendy

Ma Petite Chou — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 17:40:06 +0000

We had a Halloween-themed birthday party for my 2-year-old son on Saturday. He was the cutest dragon ever. I dressed up as Wendy from Peter Pan, the wicked version. Except I didn’t want to put on scary makeup as not to scare all the little kids at the party. But everybody loved my blue dress.

Hope everybody had a fantastic Halloween weekend!!

New Schutz

After gushing about Schutz shoes, my new pair finally came in. I wish I had gotten them earlier when the weather was still warmer. But regardless, I absolutely LOVE these laceup suede sandals. They are this very rich brown shade with congac leather pipings (even though they look more like black in these pics). Normally I don’t wear something this high to work, but I couldn’t resist the other day and even my guy co-workers said they looked cool, lol. And this is a t-shirt and jeans crowd.

Slightly cooler

Looks like the extremely hot summer days are going. It has started to feel slightly cooler since last week. I’m adding a few layers now. I’m layering this polka dot dress with the puffy skirt from ebay underneath the blue silk blouse that I got from Ricky. The sandals were an incredibly lucky strike from gojane.com. Super inexpensive and super comfy.

Summery

So many people at work said to me ” you look so summery” today. I said “that’s the idea!” . This summer has been absolutely beautiful despite the heat wave this week. I don’t complain about the hot weather ’cause come February I’ll be wishing we had this weather back! I was looking for a new black and white stripe shirt, then I saw this green stripe tee at Suzy and I immediately scrapped the idea of a boring ol’ black and white stripe tee and got this one. Pairing it with my BR skinny cropped pants.

New Schutz platform peep toe boots

I gushed about Schutz shoes on gilt. And I’m so happy I got these platform peep toe boots! They are so versatile. I can pretty much them all year round.

Pairing them with a typical summer work outfit, a silk top from Suzy and my Theory shorts.

Striped skirt

I try to post more outfits…I guess a lot of them will be work outfits, which can be pretty boring sometimes. This is a very simple work outfit (sorry about the smudges on the mirror! My toddler always wants me to pick him up in front the mirror and likes to put his dirty hands on it. I’ll have to remember to clean the mirror next time when I take pictures). The top with the floral appliques was from Banana Republic, it’s pretty basic. I really love this striped skirt that I recently got from H&M. I wanted to get a black and white striped skirt forever, but most of the ones I came across were too short for work. This one is the perfect length. The ruching throughout helps give me some curves.

All favorites

Even though it’s Monday, it was a pretty mellow day at the office. The pieces that I have on are all my favorites. I’ve been wearing the silk lace cardigan a lot lately. It makes any outfit softer and prettier.

Relaxing weekend

Ma Petite Chou — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 17:22:47 +0000

I’m dressed very comfortably today ’cause I feel very relaxed. I love this long tee, it’s tissue thin and hangs perfectly. It’s not often a weekend is not filled with a ton of activities. I’m taking full advantage of it by having a mani and pedi with some girlfriends.

Daily grind

Ma Petite Chou — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 20:35:56 +0000

Another work outfit today. This silk blouse in a taro-ish color (a very very light lavender shade) is from a Korean label that I got on ebay. I seem to buy a lot of cute clothes from Korean brands. They seem to have a knack for very ladylike clothes. I thought the pleated puffy sleeves were cute and made my arms look skinny. The leopard skirt is one of my favorites ’cause it’s got interesting details like the gathers at the waist, not just any boring stiff pencil skirt.

Slow weekdays

Ma Petite Chou — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 18:39:04 +0000

Weekends are so busy these days (aren’t they always in the summer?). They go by super fast and now it’s the dreaded Monday again. Here is a work outfit that I snapped a pic of very quickly in the morning. The top is fairly new from Suzy. The small soft mini ruffles on the bottom half was what drew me to it. The skirt is an asymmetrical linen skirt (has ruffles too) from Le Chateau which I’ve had forever. It’s always a good work skirt during the summer.
