I rarely wear jeans and t-shirts anymore. Last time I consistently did was in 3rd year high school when my usual get-up was comprised of a cool graphic shirt, good fitting denim and a pair of Chucks finished with long chained necklaces. When I do wear this no-fail combo now though, it's usually spruced up with not so ordinary accents like this flowery pumps, bowler hat, gold accessories and classy bag. Here's a similar outfit taken 2 years ago. And for some reason, outfits like these make me feel sexier and more womanly. I guess sometimes less is really more. But being someone who likes to dabble in various styles, I'd say it's better to mix it up sometimes and not be one note . :)

And I'm backkk! Oh how I missed blogging! So many things have happened since I blogged last. One of them is getting a job! And this, my dear readers, is one of my outfits that I wore to work. The office is located in the heart of busy and bustling Makati and even though the city has such a stern and stiff environment, my office environment wasn't stiff and too corporate at all which allowed me to be more playful with my sartorial choices. 

I rarely wear t-shirts anymore outside my home so this was a nice change for me. I just find it too simple and casual for my taste but there was a point in my life (3rd year HS) when all I'd wear were shirts, jeans, and chucks! This shirt however, is quite different since it has sheer sleeves. Wore it with bright blue pants that my boyfriend got me during his most recent trip to the states. He got me a lot of blue things and it's nice 'coz I wouldn't normally pick that for myself. :)

So what do you guys think?
