Replay: Statement Necklace.

I am always a big fan of the stylish accessories as they are
the perfect fashion statement. 

Thus I'm collecting statement necklaces yet looking forward to grow them.

Meanwhile I can't round up my statement necklaces collection in one post, 

so let's just start with the most worn necklace. (here)

One will definitely shy away from multi-colored accessory when first
introduce to accessorizing an outfit. (here)

Hence an all black statement piece is an ultimate choice (especially for beginner)
to glam up any casual wear. (here)

This playful mustache necklace in black never failed to grab attention and

it just adds so much fun to any outfit. (here)

[tips: wearing black without being boring is to go with interesting silhouette]

A statement piece doesn't mean have to be appear in chunky or extravagant approach.

I am enjoying wearing dainty pieces with fantastic and flamboyant style. (here)

Don't be afraid to show our personality and stand out from the ordinary.

Try going for unexpected accessories to make us look less "safe". (here)

Let's make a statement, dolls~

It's Monday. Again. 周一。周而复始。

Dear dolls, here another paper dolls design for my OOTD.

Today outfit is about sophisticated yet cool and chic look on a work day. 

*special dedicate to my reader Jessica V. Dear Jess, here you go~

亲娃，这是于我每日服饰穿搭而设计的另一款纸娃玩意儿。

今天装束风格是精致干练又不失时尚的职场穿搭。

Before we hang up by the possibly overwhelming detail of the day, 

let's pick the best clothes (maybe the forgotten ones) from our closet and 

play the matching game. 

Feeling confident walking into a Monday goes a long way.

为了应付排山倒海的工作挑战，出门前玩一玩穿搭配对游戏，心情也变得轻松愉快。

来，让我们充满自信的迈步走向周一，迈向未来～



There's something very delicate, romantic and feminine about lace.

Which perhaps why women* have never been able to let go of lace.

(*a girl may hate lace while a wiser woman lust for lace, it's just a matter of time)

穿上有蕾丝元素的衣服总会让人觉得瞬间变得很有女人味。

蕾丝是女人＊永不厌弃的服饰，娇柔，浪漫又知性，难怪娃们都变成蕾丝控了对吧？

（＊女孩要经过岁月的洗礼，对蕾丝的情意才会更加深厚。）

Lace and office, though, I think can be work if does not call to mind boudoir look.

Hence, layered a lace blazer over the lace top with a tube in similar tone underneath,
for a more office appropriate look. (double the lace, double the luxe)

Keep daring and paired lace with contrasting fabric - denim.

The clash of posh with tough,
light with heavy are pretty amazing yet balance the overall look.

然而蕾丝穿去上班适合吗？我个人认为还行，只要不会让大家联想到睡衣既可。

外加一件蕾丝外套和同色系内搭就不会被人一眼看透，也比较符合上班服的标准。

（蕾丝配蕾丝，优雅又得体）

勇字当头得为蕾丝搭个与她有着强烈对比的布料－丹宁。

柔美的蕾丝配酷帅的丹宁产生美妙的冲突，协调化整体造型，

展现女性帅气又不失娇美的一面。

Distressed denim paired with lace and leather bag is a match made in heaven.

Thus stay true to Ketchup style, 

be there with white sneakers while polished with minimum accessories.

A statement gold belt is to add a finishing touch to a loose-fitted outfit.

仿旧牛仔裤和蕾丝真的是天生一对，再加个皮革包，就成为天造地设的一个组合了。

搭一双纯白色球鞋和精简的配件就足以呈现茄纸派的独特风格了。

替松垮的裤型加上一条精致腰带，不但能修饰身形，也起到画龙点睛之效。

Dolls, don't be afraid of experiments with various texture, mix and match is real fun!

Combine luxe and rough with casual cool into daytime for an unexpected wow effect.

(Fairy tale: Beauty Lace married the Beast Jeans, together they lived happy ever after)

娃们，尽情与不同质地的布料做配对试验，那真的很好玩。

集优雅粗豪，随心帅气于一身的周一穿着，希望可以营造惊喜而非惊吓的效果。

（童话故事：美女蕾丝配野兽丹宁，从此过着幸福快乐的日子，直到永远）

Sun will rise, again.

Hello March, let's Spring begin.

艳阳高照，永不放弃，加油娃纸！

三月很好，春天到来。

Replay: Button Down in Style.v2.

Classic white, striped, checked or printed version -

we all have a button down shirt sleeping in our closet.

Perhaps, though, we've underestimated the fashion possibilities of this fashion staple.

Since military clothing is a menswear trend, contrast with something feminine

help to balance the masculine look. (here)

Hence, a sexy lace top look fantastic with an oversized military outerwear ^.^

Layering a plaids button-up over a tartan crop top and team up with

checked pencil skirt to rock a head-to-toe plaids look.  

A cool play! (here)

Wrap a flannel shirt around the waist - its so 90's but it's look great, 

and I'm definitely into that! (here)

It's practical (why carry them?). It's fun and It's a form of fashion expression.

Borrow an oversized vintage button-up shirt in fancy print from my boy.

It's fun and it can be manipulated in so many creative ways. (here)

If there's one pattern that typically isn't a challenge to wear, it's stripes.

But, if wearing stripes with contrasting lines, it can be daring. (here)

Wrapping a denim shirt around a colorful dress to create some visual contrast.

This is a great lively way to achieve the casual-chic look. (here)

So don't limit your button-downs shirt to formal suits,

there's always more than one way to wear a shirt,
just paired them with anything we like ^.^

Have a great day ~
