This is probably my favorite way to style sexy tops like this one – with slouchy denim that is, and the more distressed the better. I couldn’t wait for the temps to get a little warmer to wear my lace up heels from last summer, still one of the most flattering shoes I own, so I had to throw them into the mix as well. A small cross body is always my bag of choice for almost any outfit, but this time I didn’t want anything to distract from the beautiful back detail, hence the large leather tote, also from last year.

I’m wearing:

Top – Shein
Jeans – Asos
Bag – Asos
Heels – Asos (similar ones here and here)

As part of Asos Be Yourself project I was asked to pick an outfit from Asos that would represent my everyday work style and answer a couple of questions about my work. I have to admit I’m lucky to wear whatever I like whenever I like since I don’t work at an office anymore, but naturally I try to make my clothes look appropriate to where I’m going and fulfill specific tasks.

1. Where do you work and what’s your position?
I work as a fashion stylist on shootings, a personal stylist and a blogger.

2. Which aspects of your work make you get out of bed every morning with enthusiasm?
Every day is not like the other, at work I’m always challenged creatively and get to meet new inspiring people everyday. I’m a huge perfectionist and it makes me happy to see my work highly appreciated, and for that I’m ready to wake up as early as needed.

3. What is a standard dress code in your industry?
No dresscode whatsoever.

4. What constitutes your ultimate outfit combination?
My ultimate combination has to be comfortable, flattering and trendy. I need to be at multiple places throughout the day so I keep all these aspects in mind, when I get dressed in the morning.

5. What are your favorite work shoes and why?
Definitely ankle boots. They are edgy, comfortable and work with so many outfit combinations.

6. Any tips on how to save time doing your hair in the morning?
There’s this old school thing I’m doing every morning. After I wash and blow dry my hair I’m using velcro rollers to add some volume to the roots while I’m doing my makeup. It works!

7. Can you give an advice, fashion-related or not, to the people wishing to work in your industry?
The hardest thing is always to persuade yourself you can achieve things, once you do that the rest is a piece of cake! As for the fashion advice, always analyze the effect you want your clothes to have on people and dress according to that.

8. Why you chose this outfit combination?
I wore this particular outfit yesterday, which was my normal work day, where I styled a shooting in the morning, had my pictures taken in the afternoon, went to pickup clothes and accessories for the upcoming shooting and had a meeting with a client after. A warm statement coat and the turtleneck kept me warm, while the moderate heel on the boots and some loose-fitting jeans kept me comfortable. In a warmer weather I would probably replace the coat with a blazer, and wear some pumps instead, but this pretty much sums up what I like to wear everyday.

I’m wearing:

Faux fur coat – Asos
Turtleneck – Asos
Jeans – Asos
Snake print boots – Asos
Bag – Saint Laurent
Watch – Mark Bale

So happy I ordered these shoes just in time for Paris Fashion Week (I actually had to pick them up in Paris), they are the ultimate show stoppers! Since I don’t really like to dress in layers of colors and textures, shoes do most of the talking in my outfits and boy did these babies have something to say. I thought they would be a little uncomfortable, but on the day we shot these pictures I walked at least a mile to find the perfect location for shooting an outfit with blisters from the previous days and felt okay, sort of a shoe crash test in my book.

Too bad it looks like I’ll have to put them away until spring, I still have a number of plain outfits in mind to spice up with these bad boys

I’m wearing:

Coat – Asos (on sale!)
Shirt – Zara
Jeans – Asos (similar ones here and here)
Pom poms – Asos Say You Will (true to size, in blue here)
Bag – Saint Laurent
Watch – Michael Kors
Sunnies – ZeroUV

Beige and black is probably the simplest color combo one could come up with but for me it’s also very powerful. Even though everything I’m wearing here is either ripped, baggy or slouchy, I received lots of compliments sporting this outfit yesterday. People said I look elegant, and of course this may have to do with the fact I’m wearing heels and a structured bag, but I believe the classic neutrals helped, too.  Finally the weather allows to wear a lot of this trench, which I consider one of my he best high street finds in a while.

I’m wearing:

Trench coat – Bershka (similar one here and here)
Top – NastyGal (similar ones here and here)
Girlfriend jeans – Asos (ON SALE! I’m wearing size W26 L32)
Bag – Michael Kors Selma
Heels – Zara
Watch – Cluse

Okay, these are probably the most beautiful shoes I’ve ever worn, at least they are to me. They are so sexy and then there’s this 90’s feel about them that I simply adore!

I teach my styling clients this little trick I like to use, when it comes to beautiful heels – keep the rest of the outfit as low key as possible to make them stand out even more. I’ve been secretly craving for something rust-colored in my closet and found this tee at H&M and I think it epitomizes low key, especially when paired with these slightly washed out girlfriend jeans I was lucky to buy full price one day before the sale started, haha. Typical me.

On a more personal note, I already came back from Norway, spent a day in Warsaw and then a couple more days at my folks’ home. I’ve been doing some soul searching lately as to what I want to do in life (this is serious, I know) and how blogging for almost 5 years has changed my personality and came to some interesting conclusions. I think some changes are under way, will write about that later. Hope you guys like the outfit, talk to you later!
