....and I said what about Breakfast at Tiffany's

 

We belong to nobody and nobody belongs to us. We don't even belong to each other.

I was thinking of wearing all black for my post-op checkup at the hospital, where I was discharged from just last Sunday. I am still recovering from my surgery (which means house/ bed arrest) and given I still have my sutures, I can't wear anything too bindy or too "tight". So, I decided to layer a loose black top from Mizar Clothing over a black Topshop maxi dress to achieve the easy and breezy "I-don't-want- to-affect my wounds" outfit.

 Since I was forbidden to wear heels (so as not to affect my balance and coordination), I opted for flats. Yes, you heard me- FLATS. I was in no mood to complain not being sky-high in my 6-inchers kudos to this lovely gold pair from Tutum Shoes. I saw this pair at the SuperSale Bazaar and was beyond ecstatic when I saw it sent to me by the owners. Definitely one of my favorite flat shoes ever!

Also, the black provided perfect backdrop against my gold accessories, all from LAZADA, you can visit their site at http://www.lazada.com.ph and get the best deals on almost EVERYTHING, from electronics to jewelry to makeup. When I was shopping for the accessories, I was thinking of going for a modernized version of Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's, and I chose her iconic first scene look, where she drank her coffee and croissant in front of Tiffany and Co.'s store in New York. 

 

Given that it is a modern take, I tweaked some things, I opted for this statement necklace in gold instead of the signature pearls and replaced the tiara with a Victorian hairclip in black to accent my perfect hair bun. I ditched the gloves and went for a gold chain bracelet and pearl ring, because really, who wears satin gloves for a doctor's appointment.The essential cat eye sunglasses was of course irreplaceable, and I am so happy to have found this pair which was perfect for my peg.

I incorporated this outfit for a "Look for Less" blogger challenge from Lazada where I was tasked to make a  look within a P1499 challenge.
