First I'd like to thank you guys for the incredibly sweet feedback on yesterday's post and my facebook. It means so much to hear that you guys are still inspired by my blog, because seriously, blogging is totally irrelevant if you don't have some sort of audience. Truly.

Back to regular programming! An outfit I'd wear to a professional event. I've been looking for a longline white waistcoat for months now and I never found one I really liked. This one from Oasap turned out to be a surprise hit because the back flares out nicely, which makes for a very feminine silhouette that works well with dresses as well as trousers. I could have gone with a smaller size, though, but that's sort of the risk you take when ordering from a foreign webshop.

I love the contrast of the crisp white against the rich blue. One of the most beautiful colour combinations in my opinion, because it makes a statement while still being very elegant and classic. Unlike, say, black and pink. So if you have a more conservative dress code, I bet you can still get away with white+royal blue. I'm a bit miffed about my necklace being inside of my dress neckline in ALL of these pictures (things my photographer/boyfriend never notices :/) but eh, what are ya gonna do.

PS: it looks like I forgot to fake-tan my feet, and I have to admit that that might have happened. The contrast isn't as harsh irl though.
