Smart Prints

itscamilleco.com2013091410

Showcasing another business casual outfit for all of you working girls out there! This time, print on print style! Usually, when ti comes to print on print, people always associated it with loud prints and colors. This shouldn’t always be the case, especially when you have a strict dress code to adhere to. Most workplaces prefer conservative colors and prints–emphasis on the word “conservative”. No where does it say that you have to be in BORING clothes.

This is just one of the many ways you can spice up your wardrobe for work. Choose prints that are classic and sophisticated. I got my polka dot top and flower print trousers from Espada which, as I’ve mentioned before, is one of the brands participating in SM Mall Of Asia’s BIG! BIG! Sale happening this weekend.

If you’re in need of genuine leather bags and accessories to complete your look, you’ll be happy to know that Braun Buffel and all the other brands I’m wearing here are also part of the BIG! BIG! Sale! This bag belongs to Braun Buffel’s new collection so you should definitely check it out!

I’m actually leaving for SM Mall Of Asia myself in a few hours. I’m thinking maybe I can squeeze in a quick last minute shopping before my DIY talk there for Goody’s Come Play event (btw, if you’re attending, please bring a pair of scissors and old shirts). I have to make the most out of SM Mall Of Asia‘s sale! I mean, who can resist discounts of up to 70% off?!! Not me. Definitely, not me. LOL! If  you can’t go today, not to worry. The sale is up to tomorrow so you can still shop then!

    Conservative – not boring! You’re right! We just need to choose the right pieces to use and the prints too. Again, great combination you got here. You’re really the goddess of print on print hehehe :)) *slow clap* ^______^

    Hi, Miss Camille! Saw you as the guest correspondent for Etcetera’s fourth season! Great to see you in your element!

    Anyway, I’m floored by this print-on-print outfit! I thought your silver-gray top didn’t have a pattern. The design on it is very subtle (cue high-five!). This is something you can wear for both work and night occasions because I see the elegance of it. You carry it with such class, Miss Camille!

    I especially like the floral print on your pants. They make the ensemble very feminine and, dare I say it, rebellious! I mean, some work places with dress codes allow business colors, but you sure made a very head-turning statement with this pair. They remind me of chino pants, but with a wider waist design. As for your bag, the rope twist detail on the straps are my favorite accent. :-D

    This outfit may have downtoned hues, but it sure caught my eye for its sensibility, flair, and comfy edge. Thank you for sharing such a combination!

    this post gives a big help to my what-to-wear on Fridays since we have office uniform on Mondays-Thursdays. Big emphasis to “especially when you have a strict dress code to adhere to. Most workplaces prefer conservative colors and prints–emphasis on the word “conservative””. Talking about this phrase that you highlighted, I already have an idea on what to wear during our wash days especially when I have to deal with people who can’t understand what “FASHION” is. teeheeeeeee…. :D

    Thanks for this idea, Ms. Camille :)

    I am working in a company that has a very strict dress code, and I’m super tired of wearing a dress, long sleeve and slacks.
    I hope you blog more of this. I super love you Ms. Camille Co. :)
