  • Today's look is inspired by Netherlands. The Dutch seem to me as the most likely to win the title; they look the more convincing nation out of the four in the semi-finals. I must add, those Dutch supporters are gorgeous.

    I've always been a fan of the trench coat. As the cold winds have picked up in the city, it was only natural for me to think of this look. I go to and from work on a rickshaw as my main transportation so it's interesting to see what others are wearing, when the winds of winter (God, I hope Martin finishes that damn book) come in full force. The daytime is pretty warm here in Dhaka. When evening settles in, the slight chill creeps in from place to place.
    In any case, it's a proper winter in many other places in the world so here's an outfit you might want to try on next time you head out to face the cold. This look is quite comfortable and has the right amount of warmth, it's much softer than the last one.

    I can't seem to escape this colour combo - lighter shades of orange and white. It's definitely one of my favourite choices this season for the ladies. And this is going to sound a little crazy, but I was also inspired by halwa (halva). Halwa is a sweet confectionery (there are many kinds) that is popular all over the Middle East, South Asia, North Africa, Balkans, Eastern Europe, you get the picture. The one I was inspired by was gajar ka halwa (gajar means carrot). Even though the colour of it is richer, shedding a few shades isn't doing anyone harm.
    Well, there you have it. I have been inspired by dessert. I wasn't kidding when I said I'm inspired by everything around me. This time it was a food program on Fox Traveller. Yes, I love food as much as I love fashion.

    "There's something about your body
    I'm not in a rush, but girl I'm ready to marry you
    Yeah, right here in the restaurant
    And start in our honeymoon
    While you still got your dress on
    While you still got your dress on...yeah"
    Today's post is titled after the song Dress On - a bonus track on Justin Timberlake's new deluxe edition album, The 20/20 Experience. I must state, it's definitely a "3S Effect" (haven't used that term in a while) type of music album. The Timberlake & Timbaland combination is simply killer. The music is just super smooth and mature. And yes, I listen to it every time I get dressed to head out.
    The lyrics made me think of how much I love putting looks together for evening events. As much as I love putting together looks for everyday life for men and women, the special occasions is what I look forward to the most. That extra effort in class and sophistication is definitely worth the while. It's sort of a natural high, an aphrodisiac for the fashion savvy - for a moda oficionado like me. The style of clothing also reminded me of one of my 3 muses, Hayley. As I have mentioned in past posts, she is who I picture in gowns and on red carpets; to me she is elegance.
    The lyrics got me to think about two different looks. First, there is the signature evening dress at a formal evening event. The second is slightly toned down for a quick getaway dinner for two and to whatever follows...Wink, wink.

    Taking a break from all those pretty colors, but not taking a break from looking pretty. It's not really about muted colors either. This time around, it's just about taking it easy. Sometimes you need a look to show that you are relaxed and not too worried about keeping it chic - you've already got that down (wink-wink).
