Daily Outfit: Black & White Redux

Just a quick post of what I wore today. I'm already a bit sleepy :D Here's my work outfit today. I wore a dress that I recently bought online (www.vivavintage.multiply.com). Thank god it fits :D Usually when I buy online, it's either a bit smaller or a bit larger than described. This one's just right :) I also love the polka dot print and the silk fabric.

dress: bought online, bag: gift from sister, belt: Landmark, watch: bought online, bangle: bazaar bought, ring: Forever 21

To match the black & white color of the dress, I used my black & white houndstooth bag given to me by my sister last Christmas. I finished my outfit with a red belt to give the look some color and some black accessories (watch, lace plastic bangle, and studded bug ring). Lastly, I wanted to be comfortable so I wore my trusty flats :)

love the houndstooth print of the bag

So that's it for now. I have to sleep... My eyes are really droopy :P

Daily Outfit: Lazy Wednesday Afternoon

Ok, first things first... I wasn't able to post this here in my blog last Wednesday because of the "bed weather". My bed is just inviting me to sleep early rather than open my blog. The rain has been pouring non-stop for the past few days that it was just hard to do anything :)

Anyway, here's my outfit last Wednesday. I was lazy to mix-and-match that I just grabbed the first thing I saw in my closet :P My outfit ended up to be a girly girl one --- complete with sheer details, pearls, and polka dots & stripes combo.

Sheer top: bought online, skirt: Surplus Shop, wedges: Mario D' Boro

Tomorrow is our Boogie Bash Christmas Party. I will not exactly wear a "costume", just a dress that is inspired by the 70s. Well, I don't plan to claim the Best in Costume anyway so no worries for me :D I'm there to enjoy the show (which will be hosted by Bianca Valerio! yey!) and to eat of course hihihi. I'm also crossing my fingers on the prizes to be given away.... I really do hope that I win this time (I mean, I haven't won a single thing on all past parties... not even minor prizes!).

So I'm off to my beauty sleep now. I don't want to end up looking sleepy eyed on my party pics :)

Fever Pitch

It's been a while since my last post. Due to (emotional) stress at work & ever changing weather, I didn't have the energy to do anything else. Worst yet, I got sick :( So yes, these are the reasons that I wasn't able to update as much as I want to. I didn't even got to upload pics at Chictopia as well. I have 3 outfit pics that were not uploaded before I got sick so I'm just going to post it all at once (hehe time saver :p)

I'm feeling much better now (physically & emotionally). I just hope that nothing/no one will ruin my week again. Ok... happy thoughts where are you? :D

Here are the pics:

Polka dot dress: thirfted, belt & lace up booties: Landmark, lace bangle: bazaar

My outfit last May 12. I'm so happy with this dress because I bought it in perfect condition for only P35 at a thrift shop in Baguio :D It has a retro vibe and it can be accessorized in a lot of ways (I was planning to wear it with a red belt that I haven't used in a long time... sadly, because I gained to much weight, the belt no longer fits me!). To give my usual favorite heels some rest, I resurrected my lace up booties (looking back at this pic, it made my legs shorter. Too late for that now).

Top: bought from Australia, polka dot & stripes skirt: SM surplus, floral flats: bazaar, wire bangle: Landmark, earrings: Forever 21

This was my outfit last Monday, May 16. Now I remember the reason why I haven't used the lace up booties in a long time... it's way to high and uncomfortable that I sprained my ankles yet again wearing it :( So this time, I wear flats... the color of the flats matches all the colors in the skirt (serendipity I guess). I made my look simple because I remember that it was a very hot day! I got sick that night (and its probably because of the hot weather outside + sub zero temp inside the office) and was on sick leave the following day.

Floral & polka dots top: thrifted, belt: Landmark, bag & sandals & jeans: SM Department store, ring: Forever 21

This outfit was taken May 20. I love this (yet another) thrifted find because of its pattern. A combination of two different floral prints PLUS polka dots :P Print overload (in a good way... to me). I paired it with simple accessories. This is also the first time that I wore the sandals that I bought at the SM Mega Sale.


Hmm... funny that when I was putting captions, I only realize now that I was wearing florals &/or polka dots continuously for the last two weeks :D

So this is it for now. I really hope I can get my energy again to post blogs on a regular basis :)

Crazy Thursday

Just when I thought that the last 3 work days were hectic, Thursday seems to top it all! I wasn't able to do anything properly because I'm doing something left and right :( I don't know if what is need is time management or another officemate to help me :P Oh well, I've been blabbing all about work this week...only goes to shows that work is occupying my life! Good thing that tomorrow's Friday... TGIF indeed! :D Just hope that it will get better.

For my Items for the Day, it's actually the dresses I bought from a year-round bazaar this week (I've mentioned this previously). I have already taken pictures and I'm very happy to show you. These dresses speaks summer and it's so much fun! (sorry for the crappy pics... I have no energy to take decent ones)

I really love floral dresses! Can't get enough of them :P

Cute polka dot halter dress (the color is lime green and orange... very summery!)

XOXO
