STYLING TIPS: 'O'MALLEY THE ALLEY CAT' COLOR BLOCK BLOUSE AND JOGGING PANTS



December is my favorite month of the year (well, excluding the summer months, when I go on vacation :)). December has something special, something magical, something that transforms us all – we are all better, warmer, friendlier. Maybe it’s the Winter Holidays, maybe Santa Claus and his gifts. Or maybe just the cinnamon boiled wine and the sponge cakes. But it’s a fact that we are different in December.

And it is about ‘different’ that I want to talk to you today. With the ‘O’Malley the alley cat’ outfit. In this outfit, I brought together sport influences and elegant details, masculine elements and a feminine mood. That is for the brave ones who will dare wear this outfit as it is. Because it takes courage to wear it, or even to wear the two pieces separately, because with the contrast between the main, strong color, a ‘mad’ orange, and the classical off-white you will not go unnoticed.

With such a warm December, you can wear the short jogging trousers with suspenders and the color block ‘O’Malley the alley cat’ blouse when you go shopping for gifts for the loved ones. Your outfit will be complete with a jeans jacket, a checkered scarf, a cap – made of fur would be funniest! – and, of course, sport shoes, as you have a lot of running around to do to find those gifts!

During the weekend, for a walk or on any other occasion when comfort is a must, choose the short jogging trousers, a printed T-shirt in vivid, warm tones, a bomber jacket and sport shoes, and add fun accessories, such as striped socks and colorful sunglasses and you will feel happy and optimistic all day long.

At the office, the color block blouse will do wonders combined with a pencil skirt, a coat and a handbag in neutral colors. Do not forget the classical, high heeled pumps and a few fine jewelry – they will complete your look just fine. For a casual Friday, all you need to do is replace the pencil skirt with your favorite pair of jeans.

And at your company’s Christmas party, it is still the color block blouse with ¾ sleeves that will save you: wear it with an attitude, combining it with a draped skirt in the same color combination, with a satin jacket, open toe lace booties and a minaudiere and you will be the most spectacular, yet decent apparition!
