STYLE DIARIES by G.Anne: Gawad 2013

Dress: Thrifted, Bag: Dooney and Bourke, Shoes: CLN

Another year has passed and my sister has yet again bagged medals for the past two semesters for being a Dean's lister in their department. I am really proud of her. She always gives Mom what I can never give. hahaha.

Now, lemme tell you about this outfit. This dress was actually the fourth I've tried on before going to the actual event. I always plan and get my outfit ready the night before every event I attend to, the problem comes when the weather didn't went the way I expected to, or my friends/workmates suddenly changes their mind last minute whether we're going for the all-out or laid-back peg for events. When the uneventful comes, I tend to cram and can't decide which dress or set of clothes to wear.

In this particular event, the reason was because of problem no.1. Imagine someone wearing a tube dress with a vest and matching white wedges walking in the rain, I don't want that to happen to me, so I tried my luck. I believe the odds were in my favor because I've got a lot of compliments that day.

I chose this dress because the simplest detail gives this semi-formal vibe which is perfect for the event. The bold color given with a hint of neon green and yellow makes it look fun but still classy at the same time. I toned down the color by wearing nude colored sandals that I have my eye on for months. Luckily last Wednesday, I ran out of contacts solution and when I head to the mall to buy one and passed by CLN with an eye catching cardboard sign outside the store that all their items are on sale, I just grabbed that opportunity. Booyeah! Talk about shoes meant for me. People might find it weird but I have this relationship with my shoes that they're all my destiny for fitting me perfectly. Sshhhh! *Doing Aria's pose in PLL* (Yes, Imma PLL fan. Have you guys watched the latest ep? Next week is going to be the spring finale ep. Exciting!)

As for my hair, I went for the no.1 best solution for a frizzy hair, which is the french braid. I experimented with it by directing it sideways.
