Cool Colors

If you've read my previous post, I mentioned there that I went "dress-hunting" for a friend's debut. Well, this was my outfit on that day, July 2, 2011, a Saturday. Bought this color-block bodycon dress for a really cheap price (got it for only 389php!) at Landmark, Trinoma the night before the party. My personal formula when it comes to dressing up for a "one-time only" event (in my case a debut), go cheap and accessorize. (I mean, of course you still have to check if the material/fabric is nice.) So yeah, this look didn't cost me much. The shoes are from SM Dept. Store that I got for only 899php, and the pearl necklaces are a hundred each. I like how the overall look reminds me of partying in the Caribbeans what with the cool colors and all.

So here are some photos from that fun night.

Suede pumps for sale? Haha!

OH EM. May balagtasan? Haha! (Nevermind the weird hand gesture, just look at my eye-lash extensions Hahaha!)
Oh dear me. Proof that I had an amazing time that night. Can you tell that I was hyper? Haha!

Thank God I wore cyclings underneath my dress, I was practically flashing everyone with it when I got a teensy bit tipsy (haha in denial?). Another thing, although the outfit looked pretty, I learned that it's not advisable to wear layers of pearls to a party unless you want to get choked fashionably as you jump, jump and jump to the beat of the music and die eventually hahaha! It was a great party mainly because I was with my HS friends whom I haven't seen for so long. It's really amazing how I can laugh so hard (that it distorts my face) yet not be conscious of it and my every action and just be myself (my wapoise self) when I'm with them. The party wouldn't be as fun if they weren't there to enjoy it with me. Now I long to be reunited with them again.

Friday I'm In Love

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love

My favorite day of the week. Then again who doesn't like Fridays? Usually, I can't be bothered to dress-up for school because I commute from Q.C. all the way to Taft and I don't wanna attract unnecessary attention that could put me in an uncomfortable situation. But I make an exception on Fridays. Why? It's my non-haggard school day 'coz I get to attend one class only and that's my literature elective (8:00am-9:30am). I also noticed that lately, I've been exerting extra effort to doll up 'coz in that class, (aside from the fact that I love my lit classes) I found a motivation a.k.a. crush who inspires me to get over my laziness in dressing-up for school. Haha! Plus, every Friday I fetch my mom at work and we go on dates and the woman doesn't like me going out not looking decent and pretty. Haha! So 2 weeks ago, we went on another date and she treated me to lunch and I had the yummiest salmon carbonara ever (too bad I didn't bring my cam!) then we met her officemates at UCC for dessert and coffee and while they were chit-chatting about taxes and parenting, I went to Lavish Lashes Studio to get eye-lash extensions. I love the result but the process of putting them on and the adhesive stung and my eyes were red for days I looked like I was on drugs. Haha! After that, my mom accompanied me to look for a dress that I'd wear on my friend's debut (will blog about it soon).

So yeah. This was my outfit 2 Fridays ago (though I wore tights underneath and took 'em off after class haha!). It's basically an outfit remix. But I don't really like wearing new clothes/shoes in school (baka masira due to flood and rain like my fave pair of floral oxfords huhu). I like saving 'em for dates with friends and events. Oh diba. Haha!
