Style Diary: Red Bottom, Navy Top

I was never into red.  In fact I used to be baffled at how my mom could wear such a bold, brazen color.  But now that bold pop colors are so in, I’ve grown to like it when paired with a more temperate color like navy.

Blazer Zara, trench coat Sinclaire, pants NY & Co., studded red shoes, Zara.  polka dot shirt NY & Co.

Same NY & Co shirt, Calvin Klein skirt, Cynthia Steffe purse from Marshalls, Vintage earrings.

Calvin Klein skirt, mom’s vintage belt, thrifted cherry blouse, shoes from Shanghai

Now I’m yearning for a pair of cute red shorts!

Style Diary: Red Suit

As a continuation to my last post on my love for NY, I thought it would be great to include today’s outfit shots from the heart of NYC, Times Square.

It had been a while since I had been in the middle of Times Square so it was thrilling to be back. Here, I’m wearing a suit from Calvin Klein, which I’ve taken apart and worn the skirt here.

The purse is Cynthia Steffe and the shoes are Miss Sixty.

I wore this outfit today to the Pan – Asian Chamber of Commerce’s awards ceremony.  What is dubbed as the Asian Business Oscars, has become a special event to me given I was awarded the corporate leadership, “Trailblazer” award last year.  This year, I was asked to present the award to the 2012 recipient.  I felt like I was giving up my pageant crown and in a weird way was a little sad to have finished up my term.  Here I am looking very corporate while I contemplate my last few minutes of fame 🙂

Pictured above is the President of the organization, Savio who has no idea that he is now in a fashion blog, so let’s not tell him 🙂  The purse was on sale from $400 to $150 at Marshalls, the suit was on sale at Macy’s for about $70 and the shoes were on sale for about $70 at a NY boutique. What can I say, I’m a discount diva!
