I used to say "I can't wait to be thirty and dress all fancy and powerful" when I was younger. I still do by the way. Then I realized, why wait to reach that age when I can do it now. That's what's so fun about fashion anyway; I can take on different personas through different styles. I never saw myself being mixed up in the corporate world as I always envisioned myself as a designer, briefly as part of the media and entertainment industry. Therefore I always thought that I wouldn't get as much chance to dress in stiff office wear. The one time I had an opportunity to do so, my office (which was situated in bustling Makati btw) wasn't too strict and formal with the dress code. To get a vivid image of what I am trying to convey here's an example of what I wore there. Now though, I'm much more game and open to dressing like this even though I'm not a celebrity, a rich man's wife, heiress, an entrepreneur, heck not even as a CEO of an imaginary company! I can pretend to be any of those in my head though, right? My elder sister and cousin both remarked how classy I looked in this outfit and how it reminded them of Kim Kardashian. At least I looked like one of the things I mentioned above and passed as a celebrity in this outfit. Do you see it too? Haha!

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 . :)

I've been listening to jazzy music and French songs a lot this February and one of the songs that got me enamored was Edith Piaf's La Vie En Rose. I fell in love with it even though it was sung in French. The foreign yet cadent words somehow resonated with me. I now fully comprehend why they consider it one of the Romance Languages along with Italian and Portuguese---for all I know they could be talking about a murder and it'd still sound beautiful to me. And apparently, not only did this song occupy my thoughts (for I tried memorizing the lyrics and I am proud to brag say that I have succeeded) but it also influenced my sartorial choices then. Don't you agree that this outfit screams vintage Parisian chic? By the way, my purse and skirt were all vintage since the purse was my mom's and the skirt was thrifted, so I guess I really got the "vintage" part right. Haha.

Something comfy and dainty for a busy day in Makati. Someone told me that I looked like I was going to jog or something in these clothes. Well, at least it would make for a chic quasi-sporty outfit. Then again maybe not. What do you think?
