TRIBAL & DENIM

Denim Bustier: Romwe

Heels: Cheyser for So! Fab

Watch: XOXO Accessories

Bag: Parisian

Recessionista Finds:

Belt: Thrifted (100php=$2.4) | Maxi: Department Store (350 php=$8.5)

Climate in Manila has been undoubtedly bad! In the morning it shines, in the afternoon it pours. Vice versa sometimes. But most days, rain would just be endlessly showering thus making decent outfit shots (outdoor) seem rather impossible. So please bear with the low-quality indoor shots--which I am fond of the past posts by the way if you have observed--cause I was left with no choice but to resort to it. Sad.

Anyway, this was what I wore to the XOXO Accessories opening in ATC last Friday, same day when my shoes (one I designed for So! Fab) arrived at my doorstep. Excited and very much thrilled, I came up with a look inspired by the "boho-ness" of the heels. But I decided not to go predictably boho so I took some time-off from prints and wore something basic yet still has that I-dont-care vibe.

The denim bustier was perfect, I thought. It already was a statement itself and it needn't be embellished. The beige maxi on the other hand was too plain, I know, but with the silver belt it still seemed striking in a not-so-trying-hard kinda way, ya know? Basically the whole point of the outfit was to be eye-catching but in a not so obvious approach. Am i making any sense? haha 

Sorry to be boggling your minds with these random thoughts. Nonetheless, I hope you like the whole ensemble as much as I do! :)

HUES & SMILES

Everything from SOUL (head to toe).

Finally. After days of moving out and in, I have settled in my new place. School just started and I still am getting the hang of all these new things I am currently fronting. Will try my best to do a post about this. Will push myself to. haha 

Almost a week has passed since my last post so I am making it up to you guys with this one. Basically, this is an outfit I dared wearing (Also the smile cause I fear smiling in photos. I think my cheeks make me look 5 kgs heavier haha). I am an avid fan of colors (A classmate of mine once called me a walking crayola. Cute, eh?) but i dont really know what happened why now I prefer wearing dull to neutral colored apparels. So im channeling the crayola in me again by putting ensembles with different colors and hues.

 Paired the maxi with a green breezy sheer top to balance the hefty printed skirt. To those who are short like me (yes i am just 5'2.5"), do not be intimidated by maxis. You may think it'll make you look like chorizos stoutly packed and stuffed, but no. As long as you find the right length and shoes to twin with it. :)

Notice how I wore it with a brown wedge? The semi-full length maxi skirt went well with it, plus the brown bag! I wanted something light and breezy and colorful with w bit boho touch to it. So there! 

Hope you like it!

Hippie is one of the most creative styles I have ever seen. This outfit reminds me so much of the late 60's and early 70's. Not to say, the peaceful and distinct cult vibe to it.  

I just hope one day, we all could relive it. Even just for a day or two.

 I have always wanted to try wearing maxis after seeing one of my fave bloggers, Andy Torres, wear it on almost all of her recent posts. I thought I wasn't tall enough to do justice to the creator of long skirts, whoever you are. Nonetheless, I think it looked pretty cool. 

With everything that has been happening in Japan, 

I think we all should take some time to pause and send our prayers to the people who've been hurt and deeply lost.
