Dilshad Burman – September 30

I am stubbornly determined to carry some of my summer pieces into fall, whether it be as layering, or the main focus. I cant say exactly why…I just don’t think I’m ready to give them up and settle into fall/winter. To this end I put together this simple outfit as basic work wear…

From Style Per Diem

The jeans: Often worn, OVER worn FAVOURITE bum flattering, ever perfect birthday jeans.

The sweater: I’ve always wanted a nice argyle sweater and when I saw this lovely coral/peach one, I couldn’t resist. As some of you may remember, coral was my FAVOURITE summer colour this year. Generously sweetening the deal was the fact that it was part of a summer sale at H&M, down from $35 to $10. I’m not one to care too much about what’s ‘in season’. I like picking up basic, classic and versatile peices and at $10, who am I to argue anyway!? I have been hoarding it since the beginning of the summer, waiting to wear it – not too impatiently though!

I wanted to wear it with a shirt underneath, but rather than go with a simple collared shirt, I layered it with my birthday ruffled cotton blouse to add some fun and frill to it. The sweater itself was not skin tight and disguised the rest of the ruffles well under it, without being too bumpy or lumpy.

The shoes: It was not too cold this day so I chose to take my black ruffled pumps for a spin.

Accessories: Aside from my silver dragon fly pendant, nothing worth mentioning.

All in all a classic work outfit done in bright, young colours with some flounce for fun!
