Out on a School Night






One Tuesday my colleagues decided to go on a dinner night out. We didn't planned it. We just talked about it during lunch time and had a go in the evening. We were kind of burnt out a bit because of work so everyone was looking forward to it. It was kind of odd though that we decided to go out in the middle of budget crisis. You know what I mean. It's the few days before payday. It was actually kind of funny. But we enjoyed a lot. We had dinner at Chili Pepper's and had desserts and coffee at Beanbag. 



Leggings: Simply Vera by Vera Wang, Bag: Primadonna, Flats: Solemates 


I was not sure where we'll have our dinner so I decided to go on something safe and laid back. I wore this animal print leggings with a plain tee and a cover up. Then, I spiced it up by pairing it with my neon green bow flats. I also added a dream catcher necklace, studded leather bracelet and a sling bag ,to carry my wallet and phone. The print was a bit loud for me so I just stayed close to its color as an inspiration on accessorizing. I chose to wear leggings since I get insect bites easily and can't help to scratch them ending up to have scars. So, I usually go out at night with something that covers my legs.


And now I leave you guys with my picture with them.




That is all for this post. I hope you guys like it. I do apologize for the low quality pictures, our digi cam has weakness when it comes to lighting.  Anyway, feel free to leave comment(s) below. I really want to hear from you guys and don't forget to hype my look here ;)




Toodles!

Bright Side






I always get psyched when relatives get to have a chance to be together for an event and my cousin Elli's birthday party was no exception. We thought it was going to be postponed though since it was a day after Gorio passed by Bicol. Luckily, my Aunts got a back up plan, the sun was already on full blast again and all were present to celebrate a special day for our cousin.




I actually planned my outfit weeks before since we were already informed early on. I was itching to wear this cutesy floral peplum top that I scored from V ❤ V bloggers Vern and Verniece Enciso at the recently concluded BU5 that I blogged about here, for weeks now. And I finally got to use it since I find it appropriate for a family gathering and a children's party at the same time.




I asked myself. What would be the best bottom to pair with this cutesy top that is appropriate for a children's party. And so, I immediately grabbed my fave pair of jeans. To some, wearing jeans isn't considered as something "blog-worthy" but I kind of disagree. It's actually something that you can blog a lot about. Since you can pair it with almost anything with different styles. You could be girly (in this case), preppy (when paired with a cozy sweater), laid back (when paired with a plain white tee), edgy (when paired with anything neon or with crazy prints), and the list goes on and on.

As much as I love wearing dresses, skirts and shorts, I'd prolly be forever bias to jeans because it gives the comfiest vibe among others.




I also got to use my acrylic beads accessories from SM Accessories. They're my new fave. The girly look was also completed with the cutest pastel colored wedges I got from CLN months ago. I love the unique t-strap detail of it. You'll prolly wonder why wear 3 inches wedges to the kiddie party. Well, it was also a family event and I have ginormous cousins who are mostly taller than me so I have to add a few inches to blend in. Lol.


Now, let me leave you guys with pictures me and my lil bro was able to take throughout the party. Enjoy!

Back to School





Na-uhh! I haven't changed my mind on going back to school yet but I'd like to share to you guys  one of the things that makes me want to go back. And it's dressing up for school. Yes. Dressing up for school maybe a bit boring to some but to me I feel challenged to follow the dress code. Hahahah. I find it fun since you have to reach such standards that must not get the attention of your professor or the DSA (in our school) in a bad way but not sacrificing style of course.

Back when I started my college years in UNC (University of Nueva Caceres), wash day or no uniform day or in my case "express yourself day" wasn't observed back then. Wash day in our school was just implemented in the middle of my last semester of my fourth year which was totally useless for our batch since we already have an exemption pass by then (Exemption pass: a pass issued by the DSA for students who are working, or who have practicum/ojt in the morning and have classes in the evening,etc. ) But I also got overly excited for the underclassmen that we left behind. Anyway, despite the fact that we don't have this back then I still go to my class not wearing school uniform. Hashtag: Self-confessed violator on the loose. I confess that I'm no big fan of school uniforms even way back. I even promised to myself that when I become a fashion designer someday one of the first things that I have to make is a new design for school uniforms and propose them to schools. Hahahah.







I remembered numerous times when the security guard would stop me from entering and when I state my reasons they'd always let me in. Lol. But that wasn't everyday because that would prolly be too obvious so I always have Plan B. Plan B is when my Popsi drives me to school especially when him and my Aunt are on there way out. Anyway, the second struggle is when my professor would not approve of me not wearing uniform but luckily within my four years in college all the profs I had didn't mind, as long as I'm wearing something appropriate for school. This is where the real challenge comes in. The rules were simple. No Sleeveless, Flip flops, short shorts/skirts and all things that can distract the whole class. So when I came across this top that my Mom bought for us (me/my sisy, whoever likes it) from a thrift shop, I was beyond amazed. It has all the things I wanted in a top but haven't got something like it that I've worn at school. It has this really unique cut but still looks put together despite the bright orange color. The blue piping actually balanced the color out. Okayyy. This may not pass as something not distracting because of the overly rich orange color but I'd still where this to school. It's just too pretty. In case you guys are wondering, I actually wore this to one Sunday with my fam.




Bright color like this top doesn't need much adornments but I still wanted to add something so I grabbed this acrylic bead necklace I got from SM Accessories. Ever since I saw this on Vern's blog, I told myself that I have to have one. I totally love them since I can pair it easily with almost everything in my closet. Soo head's up, because you'll prolly see this necklace more with my future outfit posts. I also have worn my fave pair of jeans and nude sandals from CLN.





Whenever I have to go to school, I make sure to wear a comfy pair of shoes and bring a roomy bag with me. Even though you'll just be sitting for an hour or two for a class, comfy shoes is a must! Especially when classrooms for classes in a day are buildings apart. For the roomy bag, since I'm a Financial Accounting student back then, we carry loads of stuff. Like an adding machine. Kidding! Our life is not complete when we don't bring our calculators and textbooks which are extremely heavy. If you leave them behind and called for a recitation, you're in total jeopardy. Also, I usually tie my hair in a ponytail since I hate combing my hair every now and then but for a top like this that has a peek-a-boo at the back. I might as well be safe by just leaving my hair down. hahaha.

I know school started a month ago but I couldn't help myself make a "Back to School" post since this top totally reminds me of how I love dressing up for school and (I can't believe I'm saying this) actually misses going to.

That is all for this post. I hope you guys like it. Feel free to leave comment(s) below. I really want to hear from you guys and don't forget to hype my look here ;)
