Hello September-Super Late Post

It's been too long, yeah..freaking too long I'm abandoning this blog, almost a month I never post anything. For serious, this couple days has been the most busiest weeks I ever experienced. Not, that I'm complaining or anything, because the truth is, I'm just too carried away with my new challenges, my new environment, my new tasks and responsibilities.

I've to admit, it was terrific. Meeting new people, knowing new things and learning completely out-of-my-mind business. Some might think it's just too much, but 'too much' isn't actually bad if it comes to nourishing your thoughts and stressing your powerful side!

Alhamdulillah....

Life after work, frankly speaking, not much really. It was all because I always came home late everyday, but...I do had several lunch gathering with my MK besties. It's funny how coincidentally one of the MK trit member is working at the same building with me, in fact, her office is just 1 level below me. So, after the previous fun meet up the other day, we always make time to had lunch together.

And, the most obvious thing about getting back to work is that now I can wear my blazers again. lol. And yeah, as always, I'm still thinking that I have nothing to wear! So I ended up wearing the same combo over and over again...

 

 

 I seriously need some inspirations here :(

Haul - Zara Blazer w/ Gathered Shoulder Navy Suit & Needlecord Elbow Patch Shirt

My first working outfit haul for this month. Ga banyak koq, cuma satu blazer navy, satu trouser navy dan satu shirt lengan panjang.

Si blazer kali ini emang sama persis modelnya dengan blazer merah gw di SINI, yang beda cuma warnanya aja. I decided to buy this one karena I really like the detailed shoulders, the wonderful light weight and the slimming effect cut. I tend to buy an exactly the same model with different color simply because when I find one that's just feels right I have to get it. Selain itu, bahan blazer yang ini halus, jatuh dan gak gampang lecek, ples cutting hipnya juga panjang, jadi bisa nutupin celana yang aga ketat.

 

Trouser ini gw pilih biar jadi satu setelan dengan si Blazer navy diatas. For me, it is very important untuk punya satu suit blazer dan celana yang bagus dengan warna yang aman.

 

And this needlecord shirt diorder karena SUKA! yes...modelnya, cuttingnya, detailnya..me like them all. Ketika iseng coba2 di counternya gw udah langsung jatuh cinta karena it suits me and it's sooo ME, thus ga pake lama, langsung deh put PO ke MP ;)

Sorry my wallet for I have sinned to you -____-

Outfits that say "I'm The Boss"

I am just bumping out to this AWESOME LINK after browsing some Red outfit inspirations, and I must say i am happy that I found it. The link give me a lot of information about beauty, fashion, tips and tricks that works on everyone. 

Since I'm afraid that i will misinterpret the whole article, thus i decided to just copy-paste it to my blog so you can read it clearly and get the whole idea.

What does your outfit say about you?

 

Secrets to dress for success

If we want to rise through the ranks and be seen as “the boss,” it’s time we stop dressing like the person who gets her coffee! As we begin a new year at work, many of us need to focus not only on what we can achieve professionally, but how we want to be perceived professionally.

With goals, deadlines and targets to reach, it’s easy to become so engrossed in the doing of the job that we forget the importance of correctly dressing for the job. It's important not to overlook that, ultimately, you are the most important part of every presentation you make.

Whether we like it or not, how we dress every single day, from first interview to key client meetings, sends a very clear message about who we are, how we view ourselves and how seriously we take the job we’re doing.

Power dressing and what it used to be

“Seldom do people discern eloquence under a threadbare cloak.” - Juvenal

A lot of people have negative associations with power dressing, thinking of those silly 80s oversized shoulder pads that made us look more like quarterbacks than qualified professionals. Like any woman who is proud to be so, I too find the concept of dressing like a man in order to feel like a powerful woman detrimental to the cause.

But before you burn your briefcase along with your bra, think about how some of the most powerful and inspiring women of our time use fashion as an extension of their personal brand.

“Fashion is a powerful weapon that can be used by you, or against you. The choice is yours.”-  Kathryn Eisman

They understand that these days power dressing is a metaphor for a woman’s ability to use her clothing to create an image that helps advance her career and cause. Fashion is one of her many tools.

Take Hillary Clinton’s sturdy red, white and blue suits for example. Or Michelle Obama’s optimistic all-American frocks. Look at Yahoo’s Marissa Mayer’s game-changing couture or even Mother Teresa’s humble servant-of-God threads. Check out Beyoncé’s superstar, spotlight-stealing get-ups or Queen Elizabeth’s comforting, conservative and regal twinsets. Each of these women successfully uses clothing to carve out the unique image of who they are and what they stand for.

So if the image you want to portray in 2013 is that you have what it takes to be “the boss,” these are the clothes you need in your wardrobe… as well as some you need to avoid!

Dressing like an alpha woman must-haves

The Modern Blazer 

What it says: “I’m the captain of this ship.”

Why: It’s no accident that every military uniform in the world features blazers with square shoulders. Square shoulders are a subconscious symbol of power and authority. But to avoid falling into that quarterback trap of decades past, the new power jacket features a far more narrow, longer and leaner silhouette. Instead of a boxy shape, opt for a blazer that falls in a more relaxed way along the body. And skip the buttons in favor of a minimalistic look. Wear it over a dress or with pants and a shirt.
Avoid: Cardigans may be comfy, but the sweet and demure rounded shoulders and delicate buttons are still seen as the stuff of secretaries, not the women in charge.

The White Blouse

What it says: “I’m a clear thinker.” 

Why: Psychologically, white is calming and is associated with simplicity, organization and efficiency. It is the color associated with equality, and fairness. It's a great color to begin the new year with, as it symbolizes a fresh start. Buy this blouse here.
Fun fact: Historically white shirts where worn exclusively by bosses, while blue was worn by the employees, hence the “white collar” and “blue collar” terms.
Avoid: Anything too sheer that allows your colleagues to see a glimpse of your bra, or any button-down shirt that’s too tight across the bust and risks exposing you mid-meeting!

The Sheath Dress

What it says: “I’m professional and dependable.”

A favorite of many well-known women, including the Duchess of Cambridge to Carla Bruni, the knee-length, semi-form-fitting sheath dress is a must-have in any powerful woman’s wardrobe.
Why: The clean lines speak to your strategic thinking. The modest hemline means you’ll never be the stuff of water-cooler fodder, and the tailored silhouette says you’re a woman and not trying to hide it. Opt for a single color that has a flattering, elongating effect and add a statement necklace or cuff for an extra pop.
Avoid: Any hemline more than 2 inches above your knees. No matter how great your set of pins, you want people focused on your work, not on your leg workouts. Never give your colleagues material that they can use to undermine your competence. You’re a career woman, not a sex symbol.

Anything Red

What it says: “I’m powerful and confident.”

Fashion designer Bill Blass once said, “When in doubt, wear red.” How right he was! Red has always been the color most closely associated with power and confidence. In France during Louis VIV’s reign, red-soled heels where allowed to be worn only by those in favor of the king. Today, wearing exclusive red-soled heels is no less a status symbol, a fact that has made Christian Louboutin a very rich man!
Why: Research has shown that colors can greatly affect our moods and the way other people respond to us. Energetically, red is the color of passion and action. At once warm, strong, energizing and motivating, red signifies a pioneering sense, ambition and determination. It can also give confidence to those who are shy or lacking in will power.
Avoid: Too much yellow. While it is the happiest of all colors, it is also perceived as unstable and can make the wearer appear weak or indecisive. Similarly, grey is associated with low energy and passivity. If you do wear grey, be sure to offset the negative effect by pairing it with brighter colors.

The Accessories

The Power Bag

What it says: “I’m organized.”

A structured bag in a dark color is a great substitute for the briefcase and shows that you are organized, armed and prepared for anything. You needn’t spend a fortune on a designer bag (unless you want to, of course), and should avoid any garish label or gold details, which can alienate people or over-shadow your personal brand.
Avoid: Any slouchy bag or massively oversized tote conveys a lack of discipline and organization. If it takes you ten minutes to find your car keys, do you really have what it takes to be a leader?

The Mid-Height, Closed-Toe Shoe

What it says: “I take care of things.”

From army generals to would-be suitors, having a pair of polished, well-maintained shoes is associated with someone who takes pride in themselves and knows how to look after things. For example, the company they work for.
Avoid: Open-toe shoes, stripper-inspired platforms or anything scruffy. Remember, wearing an old pair of shoes will ultimately cost you more than the price of a new pair.

Bonus tip

When it comes to jewelry, avoid anything that makes more noise in the meeting than you do! While wearing dangly earrings may be a fun on a Saturday night, did you know that in the early 20th century, dangly earrings were associated with a woman being of “dubious character”? Today, the safest bet is a simple, clean stud.

Haul - Zara Black Studded Cuff and Two Tone Blazer

Karena orderan yang sempet tertunda, this month pesenan blazer gw dateng serempak. Aga puyeng juga ya bo pas bebayarannya, but untungnya aku smart (wasaimat) dengan nyisihin duit dari pertama kali put order dan untungnya lagi, tangan gw juga gak gatel untuk pake duit tabungan itu...*amaanamaan

So this month, puas deh 2 blazer datang. Salah satunya adalah blazer dambaan yang dibela2in nunggu selama kurleb 3 bulan demi selisih harga almost 300rb (lumayaan indaang) si red elbow patch blazer. Secondly adalah two-tone blazer yang datengnya not more than a month...huebat euy. Cuma ada cumanya, pas banget hari Kamis blazer dua warna itu dateng, eh Jumatnya gw liat ada Year End Sale di Zara dan blazer yang gw pesen itu jadi lebih murah 30rb donk U__U *meditdotcom

But gpp, yang penting eke udah punya (menyenangkan diri sendiri) daaan..namanya udah mampir ke Zara, boong tingkat dewa deh kalo gada yang dibeli apalagi blazer2 itu berasa dadagh2 minta dibungkus ma gw. But the thing is, rata2 blazer yang sale itu udah gw punya semua (somboong). Well, klo yang modelnya ajaib2 sih udah pasti gw gak punya ya cyint, secara gak demen juga and it's not my style pula..so skip..skip..skip. Sampe akhirnya di section tengah I saw this Black Blazer (black lageeh Anggie?!) Yups, awalnya sih sempet ragu untuk nyobain, karena ya itu, moso item lagi -__- but then karena iseng akhirnya gw jajalin juga. Sempet pake acara 'buka pake-buka pake' trus ditinggal muter2 ke section lain, tapiii sepanjang liat2 barang lainnya, lah ya koq pikiran gw gak bisa lepas dari blazer itu ya, apalagi harganya lagi diskon dan..dan..dan, kayaknya pas dipake tadi koq unyu juga, udah gitu gw kan gak punya blazer hitam beraksen gini, dan ini udah gak keluar lagi modelnya, plees..size S nya juga tinggal satuuu........so bisa ditebak selanjutnya..........cuuus eke ngacir ke kasir dan bungkuus!! huhu XD

Dadagh bubye deh slogan 'one blazer a month' karena the truth is i've 3 blazers for this month only :smashing: :sweat: :shy: :slamhead: :getokjidat:

Gapapaaaa Gie, gapapaa...kan mau akhir tahun, itung2 hadiah NY kheses buat Anggie :D *youknowimtalkingtomyselfright!

Say Hellow to my new babiessss

So how bout you all, do you like wearing Blazer as much as i do?

Blog Sale - My Preloved Working Outfit

Holla All,

How was your wiken going on? I hope all are okay yaa.

Mine was okay too, although its a little bit tiring because I spent the last couple of days by "bebenah" aka cleaning-cleaning. I pulled out all of my clothes in the closet and tried to lessen everything by sorting one by one. At the end, I managed to remove all of unwanted and unneeded clothes.

Selain unwanted and unneeded, sebagian besar baju2 yang gw sortir itu adalah baju2 yang kekecilan, yess..ke-ke-cil-an karena gw sukseis gained weight 5 kilos so far, so there is no way gw bisa pake baju2 itu lagi.

Daripada mubazier, gw memutuskan untuk me-lego baju2 kerja gw disindang :D Harganya gak mahal2 amat koq, karena tujuannya emang hanya mau me-minimize my closet and semua kondisi bajunya Alhamdulillah masih on good shape aka mint semuah.

Pertama2, gw akan jembrengin koleksi2 blazer dan setelan dari Atmosphere. Dulu, gw pake merk ini rasanya udah puas setengah mati karena cutting dan material mereka mostly okeh okeh banget, tapi sekarang sepertinya makin berkurang yaa, modelnya kebanyakan estede semua dan harganya juga makin mehong. So im very lucky udah punya beberapa blazer model classic or generasi awal mereka yang kaya akan detail yang menarik dan gak kelihatan 'murahan' samsek.

01. Cream/Khaki Blazer from Atmosphere, Size : 6

Price : SOLD

Blazer ini adalah salah satu blazer kesayangan gw banget, warnanya netral jadi bisa masuk kemana aja, pake rok bahan, jeans, celana..oke semua. I really like details kancing dibelakangnya itu, sepele dan gak ada fungsinya samsek, tpi bener2 bikin blazer ini terlihat lebih unik.

Price : SOLD

Lagi2, blazer kesayangan (semuanya aja sayang Gie!) Tapi beneran deh, ini blazer kalo masih bisa dikancing pasti akan tetep gw pake selama2nya, soalnya modelnya ever lasting dan tangannya 3/4, definitely my fave.

04. 4 Pockets blazer from Atmosphere. Size : 6

Saya terpaksa jual ini lebih mahal karena ASELI, blazer ini baguuuuusss bgt bgt bgt. Cuttingnya, bahannya dan most of all detailsnya. Dijamin gak akan ada lagi blazer model kayak gini karena it looks very expensive (tsah) Tapii, apa dayaaa...gak muaaat :((((

07. Grey blazer from Woman Outlook. Size : S

Price : SOLD

Murceeeh kaaan..emaang. And why its so cheap, karena merknya buatan Mall Ambassador punya (eaaaa).

Dan kalo boleh jujur, gw ngefans banget ma baju buatan mereka karena its not bad..at all!
