La Vie En Rose

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.

Here's a midi skirt post yet again! It just fits my personality so much that I couldn't put it to rest yet. I think this kind of skirt gives off a vintage-y vibe to any outfit. And that's exactly why I love the midi. Let's just say I'm a bit old fashioned in a lot of ways. But back to the outfit, this reminds me of my favorite era (the 50's) because of its silhouette---what with the cinched waist, Sabrina cut neckline, and the longer skirt---so I'm quite satisfied with how this look turned out though it may be a bit too conservative for some. Haha! I wore this to the Bloggers United x Moonleaf Sendong Fundraising Bazaar on the 23rd btw. More on that on my next post!

Ahh I hope this entry doesn't strike you as too disjointed and incoherent. I'm having a hard time organizing my thoughts at the moment 'coz I can't write when it's noisy (music included). And right now I am in the middle of chaos. Chaos that is brought about by my siblings and niece who are thrashing and playing around like a bunch of eels. Add to that the constant yelping of our dog, Tyler, who gets easily excited and jealous whenever the kids would get within a few feet of each other. And my older sister is currently whispering silly things in my ear. Ayayay...why am I the only normal one in the family? Hahahaha!
