This week the outfit that Two Birds chose for inspiration monday is Halle Berry off shoulder top with capris. Nice casual chic outfit. Capris is all the rage this summer. Maybe people has forgotten that it was also on trend seven or eight years ago. I have got a hand-me-down capris that I kept for that long. It's time to bring it out! Yay...

That top is beautiful! Perfect pairing with the white capris, great inspired outfit :)

i love the top! colour blocking at the same time!
ReplyDeleteI love the white pants and great color blocked top! You always get the best hand-me-downs! How long is the school holiday?
ReplyDeleteI love your top and necklace! The top is what I need in this hot weather!

i love your outfit! this top is so delicate and the colors are great on you. and that necklace adds the perfect pop!
ReplyDeleteFunny I never thought capris went "out of style" LOL I must be so oblivious. haha
ReplyDeleteI love your color blocked top!! Summer vacation hasn't started yet here, where the kids still have a little less than a month left of school.

You always look so stylish. I love the necklace and ring.
ReplyDeleteA very chic outfit again Mongs. It's going to be hard to pick my favorites for your feature!
ReplyDeleteYou never disappoint. This is a great look on you. Very balanced, love the color blocking. I also like that light blue stone of your necklace against the colors of your top. Well done again!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely as always, Mongs. The necklace is a perfect addition and you are right about the capris - they have come 'round again. Yours look great!
ReplyDeleteCapris are very cool, inded, I bought a pair of ivory ones for myself this year :) You styled very beautifully, Mongs, the chain and the ring are such a nice detail :)
ReplyDeleteLoving the colors! Beautiful top & necklace!
ReplyDeleteI love the blouse and the jewellery. You are so put together. I think you look better than Halle Berry.
ReplyDeleteLove your shirt!! I hope your kids don't drive you too crazy while not at school.
ReplyDeleteVery cute outfit. And, yes, since fashion often cycles around, keeping something long enough is great for when it comes back into style!
ReplyDeleteVery soft and feminine with the perfect accessories. You look classy here.
ReplyDeleteI love it when items in the back of my closet come back into style!
ReplyDeleteclassic, feminine, & pretty your outfit, & you! mongs, i'm excited that you are inspired to start a journal. i hope sometime you share with us some of your things, if you feel like you want to. :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! It just reminds me I don't have white pants. hahaha... I better find me one at the thrift store. Love the top! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are the most stylishly thrifty person I know. You always look so great in everything. Love the necklace and ring.
ReplyDeleteCapri pants seem to come in and out of style pretty frequently, and I just keep on wearing them no matter what, they are great for me for the office in the summer when I need a skirt/dress break. You look cute as usual here! I can't pull off white pants, but they look perfect on you!
ReplyDeleteLoads of people were wearing capris at school today! I almost wore white cropped trousers (not capris, but wide-legged, I can't cope with tight trousers!) but they're a little too see-through! You look delicate and ladylike, and the top is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThat is a super beautiful color block top, Mongs! I really like that the colors are more muted and pastel too. I love the bold color trend but I just can't seem to pull it off! I'm much more drawn to these kinds of colors.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with dealing with the summer holidays ;)

ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful top and the jewelry is just perfect with it.
ReplyDeleteI love capris whether they're in style or not and I love how you dressed yours up- that striped top and ring are beautiful! Hope you get some downtime and it's not too chaotic at home!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really pretty look. It is soft and feminine without being too girly. It's amazing how the ring and necklace kindof match too.
ReplyDeleteThis top is amazing and unique!
ReplyDeleteLove the cropped length! So perfect for summer! Great inspiration...Halle makes everything look amazing when she wears it!
ReplyDeleteI love the white capris on you!
ReplyDeleteMong, you never fail to look absolutely amazing. I bet your children and husband look just as fabulous too!

You look so well put together as always! I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYou always look so elegant! I loved the top, the necklace and the shoes, but mainly the Capri now! Yes, it was so fashionable around 2005, I have a pair too! (And a picture!) I like your shoes very much as well, of course! You look really gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSO funny you mentioned this, because I was just thinking about capris and how about 5 or so years ago its all I wore. And then- the thought mortified me. And then cropped pants creeped back into my life and now- capris again! Those crops are creepers for sure :)
ReplyDeleteHannah
Haha...they sure are...yup...they are going to be one of my favorite pieces
DeleteI love this ensemble Mongs! The top looks great and capris seem to keep coming back in style. I don't own any, just ankle length pants!

Oh wow, you look great in Capri pants, unfortunately they really just don't fit my "legs"... And you were right, I absolutely could have worn my floral dress to the wedding, but of course I couldn't resist and had a look at some shops in the city - and found a beautiful blue lace dress I then wore to the wedding ;-)

Hi Mongs! I love your outift :) I am especially jealous of the capris- I've been trying to find a pair of white cropped capris at the thrifties for a while now but I haven't had much luck. That top is also so pretty- I really like the colors. Who are your amazing friends who give you such awesome hand-me-downs?!

Nice blog!
ReplyDeleteI love the top! I'm still on the fence about capris, but I think you look very wonderful in them. I find they work best on very tiny ladies like yourself. And yeah, I don't know if capris have ever been "in".
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and the lovely comment dear :)
