No, this is not a Lauren Weisberger novel. Or a sequel to the top rated movie about poor Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) facing a catch-22 of whether to drop her job or not for working with a death glare.

| The Peak, Hong Kong |
If you have read me lately, you'll notice that I have posted articles from my recent travel in Hong Kong. And this is yet another one.
My own share of quandary comes from how to pull together a season-appropriate travel outfit without looking dowdy.
I toyed with geometric printed sleeves from Prada. The idea was to wear an ensemble that will go well with the modern theme panorama and sights of Victoria Peak, Hong Kong.

The multi-chromatic design is inspired from Miuccia Prada's Autumn/ Winter 2012 Collection that focuses on geometric patterns and electric prints.
I particularly picked the one in neon orange and hued down mix of violet color because of its non boring but not overstated combination.
I tweaked the look by pairing the sleeves with a studded shorts atop black leggings instead of the straight geometric printed Prada sleeves and pants. And finished it with a neutral cream trench coat to combat the winter breeze of Hong Kong and to tune the modern aura down a bit.

I opted to skip out on belts to keep it from looking very '70s. Pulling the Prada arm sleeves over the cream trench coat was a good means of making all the outfit mix well together.
I also donned spike earrings and arm candies to avoid making the impression of looking like Miranda Priestly's age to my 22-year-old physicality. Because honestly, the sleeves has a little senescence attached to it.

It would have also looked better with a platform shoes but I preferred comfort over statement. My feet still had long walks to take around Hong Kong.
I for sure am a traveler who wears Prada with this stint. But it's also not like I can afford an authentic one everyday of the year.
