Incorporating my crazy obsession with the shade mint, into my outfit.
dress from Forever 21 (SM Aura); bag from Michikoshoppes; shoes from Celine
necklace: Accessorize; bracelet: Envy at Watsons; watch: Guess
I love the rain, I really do. But I wish that it's always Spring. So last Saturday, when I saw the sun shining bright, I remember having this dress and I thought it paired well for what I was about to do that day. To enjoy a relaxing afternoon and meet my ultimate favorite actress. :)
It was that kind of outfit that I thought was so put together that I had to take a picture of it. Sarah of FashionEgglplant came to the rescue and agreed to take my outfit shot. I was so conscious! I didn't know what to do that I made a blunder of it half the time. Thank God, she was a good photographer and we got a few good shots. I guess I'm still not that confident in posing for OOTD photos. Must practice!
I like big bags that I can carry my whole life in! This blush tote bag from Michikoshoppes, can carry all my gadgets (including my Dslr) along with all my beauty products and other bag essentials. It's an ideal office bag since it can fit my laptop, too. And it comes in a lot of shades.
Thanks, Sarah, for taking my photos!

There's nothing like a nice pair of jeans and onesies. Can you believe that some of the clothes I'm wearing in are at least 3 or 4 years old? The Forever21 floral print onesies, I got when it first opened here in the Philippines. The jeans, much older since I got it when Promod invited us to their store in 2009 or 2010. It does pay to choose timeless pieces that you can mix and match as years go by and still making it work for the current trend.
And since I'm not the type to care if I keep on wearing the same clothes everyday, I don't mind showing this outfit. I also think it's inspiring that I get to show you how I wear the same clothes and mix and matching them with the rest of the stuff I own.
Do you also have clothes from years back?
The blazer I got a year ago from F21 when their Mall of Asia store opened. The belt was a gift from SM Accessories. The So! Fab shoes are replacements for the worn out ones I've used for nearly a year. :)
Blazers are such a staple for me. Even before it became popular back around 2 or 3 years ago, I've been sporting them with jeans and heels (sometimes flats) in Law School. I just love how it instantly improves an outfit making it appropriate for work or events. When in doubt, I pair it with a blazer.
Slim belts are definitely a staple for petite girls like me. Not only does it gives an illusion that we are slimmer, it also makes us look taller all with it being proportion with our height. And getting them in tan or earth shades gives it more mileage.
love the gold details in these shoes and it's only php799!
As for the shoes, you can count on me to always choose nude or shades similar to it, it's the best shade for all sorts of outfit. When it comes to shoes, I try to keep it low key and easy to match with so I get my money's worth. :)
How do you choose your shoes? For functionality or just coz they're pretty?
Forever 21 opens its 5th store in our beautiful country, Philippines. Since it opened 2 years ago, it has been sating and quenching a lot of fashion thirst of many young men and women. Pinays and Pinoys had an easy time dressing up with the latest trends thanks to the up-to-date fashion and affordable pieces that Forever 21 provides.
Can we agree that nobody leaves that store with a big yellow bag filled with goodies? :)
Now, people down south can enjoy Forever 21 easily as it opens in SM Mall of Asia, Asia's biggest mall to date. And of course, it's always special when F21 launches another store. This time around there's a runway that leads up to the Forever21 on the second floor.

Every Friday, I make an effort to dress up just in case the office mates and I decide to do more than just get drinks at our local bar. And what I good thing I did because last Friday, I found myself dancing the night away with Vodka Redbull on my hands and good music in my ears at Relik Tapas Bar and Restaurant!
After Harvest Bar and Resto, we hit up at Relik and danced the night away. It's been awhile since the last time I went to a club and danced my heart out. Best part of it was that the BF was with me so we got to act like kids again and enjoy the music. It was one terrific night.
I went all out with my accessories and wore my uber funky chic Feather Tassel necklace from Things That Matter and paired it with my own brand of bracelet.
For the office look, I kept it simple with the plain white tee, floral skirt and ballet flats.

For the night time, I decided to wear a blazer and converted my MNG makeup kit bag into a clutch bag. But I didn't get a chance to bring both since it was too hot and humid that evening.

I personally love this day to night transition look. The floral peplum skirt gives that feminine touch to my otherwise plain outfit. But then again, I'm known for having a pretty plain style... meaning that I love my plain white shirts to a fault.
You'll notice that I wear a lot of So! Fab shoes.They fit my style perfectly and they have a lot of comfortable wedges. Not to mention that their shoes are affordable. I stick to buying their shoes prized at P799 to P1299. :)
What do you think? Do you like this look on me?
If you like seeing OOTD posts, please leave your comments below. I'm not trying to be fashionista but just showing you what I do with the minimal number of outfit in my closet. Hehehe!

Sorry to show you guys photos of me, so early on a Monday morning. :)
I've recently come to terms that I am now a member of the plump society. Of course, naturally, I was depressed when I realize how "fat" I was getting. People tend to be mean with their comments when they see me and I can't help but feel hurt. But lately, I've embraced my new body type.
Since I know I gained this weight by letting myself go, I'm trying to find ways to lose the excess pounds by eating healthier and exercising. But I am in no hurry. What's important now is to just be healthy and eat a balanced diet (oh how hard that is!!!).
For the past week, I've been invited to a few events that sort of requires for me to dress up a little. Of course, it was a bit hard fitting into old clothes. Thanks to Spanx, Inchess Off, Maidenform and Wacoal, I can still manage to wear some old dresses I have in closet. I should be conscious with all the fat in my arms, chest and tummy, but I'm hardly feeling anything. Eh ganun eh. Mataba ako ngayon. I can't stop living my life just because I gained 20 pounds. What would happen to me if I feel sorry for myself?
And I can't let my weight dictate what I have to wear! No, sir! I can't!

Looking at how I dress now, I'm definitely not the girl who use to settle for plain shirts and jeans. I'm quite proud of myself to be able to summon the confidence to don these clothes.
It took a while to gather spunk and self confidence but thanks to few inspirations like Oprah, America Ferrera, The Plump Pinays and Santana Lopez, I have no reason to think that I'm limited to frumpy outfits.
What's important is that I'm enjoying my life, having fun with friends and getting to feel at ease with my own body!
So if you're like me... don't feel bad at all. Instead, let the world know that you won't let the excess pounds stop you from living your life.
Happy monday, peeps!! :)

Truth is, I never got use to wearing accessories. I would usually take them off as soon as I know the night is about to end. But since I love the designs and love the look of gold against my Asian skin tone, I keep on wearing them. :)
Accessories are like makeup for me. It has a way of making a ho-hum outfit come alive. I'm able to transform a plain white tee into a resort worthy look with a few bright accessories. I can make my simple jean shorts ready to party with nice belt and some chunky bracelets.
What I usually do is stick to the basics with my fashion choices, avoid too many colors and stick to neutral shades of tan, brown, gray, black and white. Then I invest in really nice accessories that I can mix and match. Throw in a nice outerwear and same neutral shoes and you're good to go. :)
That's why I invest more on cosmetics. For me, makeup really changes an attire that even when you're in plain looking clothes, a blush and mascara can go along way in making you look more presentable.
How about you? Are you more into clothes or makeup? I guess, you know my answer to this question already. :) Lol.
