Quite a quirky look for a comeback post don't you think? That is if you've even noticed that I haven't blogged for about 2 months. Even this look, I'm afraid to say, is a backlog. Still better than nothing, right? The direction I was heading for this was reminiscent of the quirky 50's laundry/resort wear look, made modern by itty-bitty distressed denim shorts and a contemporary print.
Of course, such an outfit required an equally fun occasion to wear this to. A mini vacation with my boyfriend seemed perfect for this. More specifically, in time for Labor Day weekend. Man, this just shows how old this post is though! Haha. No matter. Every outfit I post here is like an entry to a diary anyway.

Here's a simple, sweet and short outfit post! Thought I'd share to you what I wore when I went shopping/malling the other day. I would like to show you how I dress not just on the days when I'm dressed to the nines for a special event or a party. This blog is primarily a documentation of worn outfits (simple and/or trendy) and I would like to keep it that way so I hope you appreciate the "non-fierceness" of some of my looks once in a while hehe. As for my look, blue and gold make a subtle yet striking color combo, don't you think?

This outfit has a really simple silhouette and style. But if you look beyond the simplicity of it, you'll see that there are different prints and textures that comprise it. The plain t-shirt is spruced up with sheer lace that is both dainty and sexy at the same time. The skirt is polka-dotted and floral, the shoes are in a neutral shade but perforated, and the bag adds a pop of color to this monochromatic pink look. The different patterns somehow add a touch of intricacy, don't you think?

The skater skirt is one of the easiest things to wear this season, no wonder it has been the uniform of college gals like me who don't have to wear uniforms in their universities. Although this piece of clothing is seen on almost everyone in my campus, I'm not gonna stop sporting it anytime soon and you'll probably see more of it just in different colors and prints only 'coz it has been my default attire whenever I'm lazy to think of a more creative outfit. This may very well pass as my comfy sweats. And since this post does not offer anything too out-of-the-box, I'm just showing you how I paired this skirt with a quirky top that somehow makes up for the plainness of the look. Silver metal pieces like the spikes on my loafers and collar necklace add a touch of toughness to this otherwise playful and young look.
One little anecdote about this outfit that I'm going to let you in on as well is that when I wore this I wasn't my happiest...and yet the vibrant hues helped elicit chirpier emotions within me that somehow made the day a little bit rosier for me. And that, I think, is just one of the many contributions of fashion in my life. :)

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 . :)

Following the introduction of Hungry Boy and Parched Girl, comes one of the many food dates that we've had since we became partners in crime. We came across Cova Tapas Y Sangria during one of those sweet languorous nights driving around in Makati looking for a new place to try out. We had wine and croquetas variadas consisting of Hungry Boy's faves namely: jamon iberico, truffle mushroom, and crab salad---though it was a bit of a let down for him because he couldn't taste the truffles even after a few bites already. (Naubos na man lang di pa din naliligayahan si Kuyey!) Also found out that the place offered buy-one-take-one Sangrias on Mondays and Tuesdays! An information which enthused Parched Girl most definitely! *laughs*
As for my outfit, Mark told me that I looked very cosmopolitan in it that night. Whatever the hell that means. Haha! All I know is I wanted to play with just two colors: blue and nude. Tried echoing the print on my shirt by wearing booties and accessories in the same print to tie in the whole look together. That's about it!
'Til the next HB & PG post!
