3 Sweet Girl-Next-Door Looks With Carmen | Clozette

One-piece outfits are great. They're easy to throw on quickly, making you look chic and fab in an instant. So it’s no surprise that they make for great event-ready outfits that will get you looking sweet and put-together in no time.


Love one-piece outfits as much as we do? Then here’s a lookbook you’d love! In collaboration with our friends from Zalora Malaysia, we got our sweet Clozette Ambassador Carmen Layrynn to show us how she styles three girl-next-door looks that she’d confidently wear to an event, high-tea with her friends, and a date.


Here are the looks she came up with!


--------------------------


Look 1 - Event Outfit




“I personally prefer shorts over dress while attending events. I found this Strappy Wrap Romper - Something Borrow that caught my eye! It's really chic and fuss-free to throw on anytime when I'm in the rush or having wardrobe dilemma. Keep it simple but not underdressed.”

Look 2 - High Tea Outfit




“I love wearing something comfy and cozy while having tea session with my girls as it going to be a long chatting session and the high tea place might be pretty cold to hang around for hours. So I picked this Lace Sleeve Playsuit - Zalora. The quality is superb—it’s very soft and supple and fits me perfectly. I also love the simple lace pattern of the fabric.”



Look 3 - Date Look




“I love this outfit the most as it is very elegant. I always love simple and plain outfits, so this Zip Front Fit & Flare Dress - Zalora is my perfect outfit for a dinner date or special occasion. I paired it with this High Heels Sandals with Ankle Strap. How do I look? I bet I'll surely impress my date with this outfit!”

Nothing else exudes girly stronger than hot pink! This is a sassy colour you wouldn't want to mess with.  Let it it pop out the stylish way by complementing it with "calmer" colours and fabrics such as denim and cotton for a girly laidback ensemble.

"I love casual style, especially my favourite lace collar top top with skater skirts. Everytime I shop for new clothes, lace is always the first thing that catches my attention. I don't really like to accessorize much. I'm either only wear my favourite Baby-G watch (which I've been wearing for 8 years), or my all-time favourite necklace with my name on it. I try avoid to wearing heels because I prefer sneakers or platform sandals! The one I'm wearing is my favourite pink Converse high cut sneakers! I hope everyone loves this simple style as I do."

"'Style is a way to say who you are with out having to Speak' says Rachel Zoe. With that said, I think people always judge us easily on how we look the first time they see us. As a Fashion Blogger, dressing Up nicely and wearing good clothes from casual to formal to glam, is a must. Wearing nice clothes makes me feel good and it gives me that confidence in everyday life. For my #OOTD Photo. I wore a monochrom outfit because I love Black and White. I gave it a little bit of twist by matching different patterns for a bit of kick to my look. I added a leather jacket to complete my look!"

"Spring/summer 2015 is all about the Bohemian vibe. For this look, I decided to go boho chic. It's all about looking casual yet put-together at the same time. I have on a chiffon floral top and layered a thin crochet vest over it. I paired with rustic brown shorts, leather bag, big round shades and ankle boots-- it makes the outfit more Coachella-inspired. I tied the whole look together with the lovely dreamcatcher necklace and tassle beaded bracelets. Lastly, I stack up on 'em midi rings! For areas where I'm showing off some skin, I placed the flash tats there to make it a little more sexy and fun. The whole look is just so light and easy-going!"

"Style has to be edgy, comfortable, and uniquely ME! My primary colors revolve around shades of grey, black, and the occasional white paired with light-wash denim shorts or  jeans and accented with gold accessories. I absolutely love the combination of black and gold--may it be sunglasses, watches, rings, necklaces, and pretty much everything else! These gold hues in my accessories compliment my naturally sun-kissed skin tone and complexion, giving me the added urban & hippie edge to my style.


Feathers are also a big favorite of mine! I love pairing a simple black top with vibrant-coloured feather earrings in turquoise, gold, purple, or even white, to express my mood or feel for my OOTD. Bronze gold necklaces with feathers are also an easy win--they add length and fun to any everyday outfit. Regardless of style or any “Outfit of the Day”, I believe the attitude of a person is what truly adds flair to a stunning ensemble. Allow your panache to be your most flattering “accessory” to accentuate your style today!"

"Style is an attitude--what you wear represents who you are. Be the master of your style and never let the clothes wear you. I love wearing heavy eye makeup and I am never shy to be different. I prefer my clothes lace-free and without the shackles of bling accessories. I love to keep it simple with solid colour outfits as they can easily exude an outstanding and bold statement. 'My style is my attitude, what I wear speaks for me.'"

"It's kind of difficult to actually define a stereotype style as I think my style changes from time to time, and I think having the right confidence to be comfortable in what you wear is style on it's own. But if I have to describe my current wardrobe style, I'm one that's in favour of the modern, practical, feminine, and simple style.


I love sporting current fashion trends even though I am not able to pull-off the latest fashion styles. Living in a hot country like Malaysia (and because I need to be constantly on the run at work) makes practical style part of my life. I can go to wearing t-shirts, shorts, and sandals or sweaters, formal attire, and flats--but they all have to have a dash of modern in them. I also love to wear dress that flatter my curves too. Lastly, I'm a huge fan of one direction!"

"The struggle is real when it comes to dressing casual while looking classy. That was the look I was going for. I thought that it would be tricky to mix my usual cardigan and tank top to get a polished looked, but somehow it worked in by using a black and white palette. You can never go wrong with monochrome. I'm glad I added the gold belt to the outfit or else it would have been a tad too plain for the event I was going to. But I do wish that I wore heels instead of flats. Oh well, it's the imperfections that makes us real."

"I'm not the most fashionable person but I do try to dress up as much as I can. I love tutu skirts. There's something very glamorous about them that brings life to a lady. Yes, it can be rather costume-like but if paired well, it can tame something wild to a feminine, lady-like figure. A classic structured black bag and strappy heels ties everything together perfectly."
