Outfit of the Week: Feelin' Like A Schoolgirl

I am way beyond my schooling days, thank you very much.  And I will probably never go back to school again.  Guess I'm never one of those who really enjoyed studying.  It's just that I loved the jumper so much and when I matched it with a simple button down, it made me feel like a schoolgirl again.  For a second, at least.  LOL.  Looking back at the photo, I now realize that the shoes and the bag are a little off.  Oops.  But hey, fashion is experimental.  Somedays you get it, somedays you don't.  But life goes on :) xoxo

Outfit of the Week: Flower Power

Ah, Valentine's Day.  The day for all things love, flowers, chocolates, and mushiness.  Why am I talking about something that happened almost a month ago?  Well, because what you'll see below is my Valentine's Day outfit.  For the day of love, I chose to go with the flow.  Flowers on my top and flowers on my belt.  Yes, I couldn't get any cheesier.  But heck, it only happens once a year so might as well make the most out of it, right?  To prevent overkill, I chose to go with solids for my bottom and other accessories.  Anyway, can I tell you how much I love my top?  Was browsing through Robinson's Department Store a few months back, with no intention to buy, and then I had to see this.  The simple floral design, the uneven hem... it had me under a spell.  Of course I had to get it!  It's practically screaming my name!  LOL.  Kidding aside, it does look a bit formal, so I had to choose an occasion to wear it.  Now, which occasion would be better than Valentine's right?  It was a good thing I remembered I had it!  So, what do you think?  Yay or nay?  Sound off at the comments section please!

Outfit of the Week: Turning Japanese

Notice the surroundings?  It's in one of my favorite restaurants, Antonio's in Tagaytay.  Been a forever fan of the great food and the lush greenery so we make it a point to always visit whenever we decide to head to Tagaytay.  Well, the lush greenery makes it a good place to take outfit photos too!  As you can probably guess, I'm not much of a go-out-and-take-your-outfit-shots blogger.  I'm a bit shy to get all the stares, LOL.  But who can resist such nice background?  I can't.  So I braved it out and tried not to care about the curious glances.  Haha!  Ok ok, enough of that and on to the outfit!  A couple of weeks ago, I blogged about the versatility of kimono tops.  Here it is again, this time, paired with simple leggings.  I'm such a fan of throwing on a kimono top on whatever outfit I'm wearing; it really does perk up the look.  So how about you?  Any other tips on how you wear your kimono tops?  Would love to hear them!  Sound off at the comments section please!

Outfit of the Week: Black with an Accent

I dressed up this outfit around the necklace.  There.  I said it.  Is it obvious?  Haha.  Well, the moment I laid eyes on this particular piece, I knew I wanted to wear an all black outfit to fully accent the necklace.  It's far too pretty to get lost amidst a floral ensemble, don't you think so?  Luckily, I found this Mango dress during the sale.  Add a simple black bag and a pair of black peep toes, and we're good to go!  Whatcha think?  Yay or nay?

Outfit of the Week: It's That Shirtdress... Again.

Remember how much I raved about shirtdresses on this post?  Well, here's another version of it!  For a polished look, the best way to do it is to belt a shirtdress.  But there are days when you just want to wear it as is and not feel constrained.  Tip:  When choosing a shirtdress, make sure it's a bit loose.  You don't want buttons popping or your flesh showing when you sit down.  The one I have on here is waaaay loose, but that's how I like it!  What to do so that it doesn't look like you just threw on your pajamas?  Simple, accessorize, accessorize, accessorize!  A simple necklace and a bracelet would surely do the trick; heck, it could even make you look party-ready!  All you have to do is work it, baby!  I have a couple more of these sitting in my closet, so do expect more of these shirtdress posts because I really, really am in love with them!
