Asides the day I took my Bloomberg exams, I cannot remember having to stare blankly at my computer screen this long. Whoop! there goes my first sentence.
Anyways, welcome to my blog people :). This is going to be something like a lookbook. Periodically, I would put up posts of people, mostly females. Each feature would have pictures (possibly a Monday to Friday thing) showing what the person had on on each day and what inspired that look. I have always been beguiled by work wear…not just items in a store labelled as office clothes or whatever but what a lady would eventually decide to wear while in a bid to secure the necessities of life..
This is basically the idea behind metrogypsie. I only hope I would successfully juggle this with my really tasking day job.
So then, here we go..

Wednesday

Red Dress: Collection
Shoes: Newlook
Sheer coloured tights
Style Inspiration: I had Victoria Bekham in mind while I dressed up this morning lol…okay maybe not with the length of my shoe heels. I am not sure why I’m smiling cos Steph made me almost strip in the cold. Anyway, I felt elegant and dressed elegantly.

Thursday
Black dress: Dorothy Perkins
Jacket: Dorothy Perkins
Shoes: Newlook
Style Inspiration: I have two dates today.. *giggles* hence this my simple and classic number. Got back from my coffee date before this shoot. i love love this dress cos although the bottom is so tight without a slit, I walk slowly but really lady like as well and it accentuates my body real good. I love it for a first impression. My inspirations today were my dates basically. Steph made me stand like hangers…said its the model stance. Ha!

..and its Friday!
Dress: Topshop
Boots: Newlook
Style Inspiration: Lol, thats how this silly babe says she’s tired of typing.. So I’d handle this bit.. Mad is a surfer chic in her daily style routine,,you know like em beach loving…life is always a beach sorta people. She likes to drape anything on and just chill. She really hates work clothes. Well yeah so she basically did same today. Its Friday and as you might already know we dress down over here. She had to do black tights as against sheer ones because I think the dress sticks to her body so much and the back goes really short at some point after she walks for a bit.

I am not sure if these outfits truly depict me I actually love to wear make-up but mostly when I’m going out on a date or to party. Besides I was instructed to let my dressing flow with my moods and all that this week by you-kno-who. Yes and I really love Newlook shoes. I think they get super comfortable quickly and are extremely affordable. Besides she a Subject Matter Expert at work meaning she always has to patrol around her department, her comfort is imperative.
There it goes from Pink Scarf Madalina. Thanks babe for letting us have you on here.
Do leave a comment below on your favourite look and if time permits you, create a look of your own inspired by the outfits above. A winner would be picked by Maddy who would then wear the look in a follow-up post.
Thanks guys,
Catch you next time.

The Wednesday and Thursday dresses are absolutely fierce! They are subtle but still manage to accentuate the body. Lovely!

Thursday,so dress + wednesday’s, scarf. Maybe hair tied up? Funky
Hey Maddy, you look great all through, but I think thursday’s look is perfect. Suits you. It’s obvious you love you dress.
Your blog has craaazy potential Steph! 😀
I’m feeling the thursday attire, probably because I got a bias for black and grey colours, but she looks fabolous. Great blog Steph!
tuesday and thursday baby. love love love maddy’s style. classy and chic and definately served 2 purposes(work and date).
beautiful blog steph, keep it up. *now saving photos of my daily work outfits*
Ooooh love love love everything! Especially Wednesday and Thursday! It’s the kind of look I typically aim for when going to work. I like the focus of the blog, very different from what we have around. Al the best Steph!

I love the tuesday look and the wednesday is just fab(my kinda thing).All the ladies sure know how to make the office wear look georg! U go girl!
Mostly ladies abi…
Yayyyy its finally here 🙂 . .loved it from the very first sentence. and I love the idea of reading about the mood that inspired each look, I can totally relate. Monday and Wednesday are my fav looks. . .Restyling I would like to see Tuesday’s jacket with Thursday’s LBD
Oya do for me
Monday – White shirt, tm
Tuesday – White shirt Next
Wednesday- white shirt, Woolworths
Thursday, white shirt, Cedarwood
I just love the tuesday skirt. Jane Norman always comes up with lovely designs. It made her look lovely how she combined it all, came out sexy.
I would like to see Monday’s jacket with Wednesday’s dress for re-styling.
I like wednesday and thursday dresses 😉
I love her style. Tuesday to Thursday especially. If I have to choose I’d go with Thursday. You can hardly go wrong with a LBD.
Monday & Thursday’s dresses, both without the jacket are simple yet neat & decent looks. Surprisingly, Friday’s frock with the sweater & scarf on (1st picture) too. She needs to play around with her hair more, it kind of kills the essence of this blog; variety. Until your next post, let’s see what more you’ve got. Continuity is always a struggle.. Trump the sophomore jinx, will ya?! Godspeed, xx
Loving the Thursday look..simple and charming…But the Monday outfit without the blazer is the real deal…more reasons to look forward to Monday mornings..
Gawjus attires will perfect colour combo…… bring them on!!!!….. we wanna see more
