Hand Me Down

 Just a quick post. Will try to post more decent ones soon. As cliche as it may sound, I, then again, have been tied to my duties as a graduating student and as a daughter. And I can't seem to find time to do my blogger duties. I have pending outfit posts but I don't have time to post 'em. Oh well, at least I'm here now. Woot Woot!

This bag is actually a hand-me-down from my mom. She has tons of awesome stuff as a teen, and I think she doesn't even realize how much I love all the stuff that she has passed on to me. Fashion trends come and go. It's just a huge cycle. But hey, who cares, there are no rules in fashion. It's all about experimenting. So, goodluck with that! ♥

Make A Statement

As promised, here it is. A way to dress up a boring statement shirt. I, myself is a self-confessed shirt addict. Aside from the comfort it gives, it's just very easy to wear and you can actually pair it with anything. So here are two ways on how to wear your statement shirts (or any kind of shirt). Oh and meet my twin sister! (LOL, i'm just kidding. :P )

My first look is very rocker-ish. I wanted to go with what the shirt says: "Little Miss Rockstar". I got this shirt 4 years ago and I usually wear this with just a pair of jeans. And since, my style has evolved and I learned how to experiment, I came up with this. By adding a statement necklace, fedora hat and some spike-y bracelets, the boring outfit turned into something fun and quirky. 

I even wore this biker/motorcycle jacket to add more spunk and rocker vibe. The trick to spicing up a boring outfit is to pile on some trendy accessories, work with layering your clothes and wear killer shoes. Well, I don't actually own a pair of killer shoes (ehem, ehem!), so I just sticked with my ever-so-trusted pumps. 

Since my first outfit was very dark, I decided to give the second look some colors (or maybe, tons of it). This denim jacket has been with me for years. My grandmother gave it to me... i-can't-even-remember-when. And I love the fact that it still fits me. The stitches are done in different colors which makes this denim jacket very unique and cute at the same time. 

By tucking in my shirt under this high-waisted shorts, it gave it that girly-vibe. Plus, I added a braided belt to cinch in my waist. Since the main idea of this outfit is to inject and give the boring look an added oomph, I decided to wear my studded green flats.

Statement Shirts doesn't always have to be boring, you can always mix and match different things to make a trendier outfit. If you're like me who loves to mix comfort and style, these tips will really be helpful. Remember to invest in great pieces, those that you think will last.

We'll Fade Out Tonight

As promised, here it is. This is what I wore to Lee Cooper's Show (Read more about that here). The invitation came in such a short notice (i'm not complaining! :] ) and this is what I came up with. I've had this skirt for months now and I still can't figure out why it took me this long to finally be able to wear it. Anyway, I chose this skirt and then built the whole outfit around it. 

Since I wanted the skirt to be the "center of attention", I chose pieces that won't grab that much of attention. Well, except for my feather necklace which came in right after I got the invitation. Cool huh?
