Olive Green and Sneaker Number 3: Converse All White Mesh

I used to hate the color green.  Growing up I didnt knew there were other shades of green and other shades of pink, red, etc and even white (off white, dirty white). I mean I still dont love GREEN like the Mother of all GREENS like Green but, I love its children, specifically Olive Green. Never thought I'd like olive green. And I'd never thought the color would actually compliment my skin tone.

I got this Olive Green bodysuit at F21 along with my faux leather skirt. Ive been shopping at Forever21 since forever and lately their collections are just so damn cute.

Btw, I am already on Sneakers number 3. For those of you who doesnt know I hate sneakers and I have recently become a convert, my first one's from Keds x Taylor Swift collection. It was red and full of glitters! Haha still incorporated the girl in me. My second sneaks is an all white slim converse because I like dainty sneaks. My 3rd one though is not dainty, not glittery, its still all white but its mesh, something that still holds my style. This is a very risky sneaks since I like to keep my sneakers very ME but well you gotta widen your horizons haha and surprisingly I love it.

To date I already own 5 sneakers, 2 from Keds, 2 from Converse and 1 from Adidas. Sneaker #4 and 5 soon! Also, 3 of my sneakers were given as a Valentines Gift, Random Gift and Anniversary Gift from the most supportive boyfriend ever who also doesnt tire taking my photos! I love you to bits!

A-Line

Happy New Year!! I hope you all had a great holiday! Here goes my first post of the year!

I have always despised A-Line skirts. I felt like I dont look good in them but I still try them on anyways. To my surprise I now have one A-line skirt in my closet and its from Forever21. When I tried it on I knew I had to have it. The color is burgundy red which is one of the colors I like when picking out clothes. I also love the fact that its cloth is (not sure what the term is) its kind of suede ish.

Paired with my Maroon Top which I bought for work. I just wanted to pop on something around the same shades.

Ice Skating and A Birthday Dinner

 On Phil's (my boyfriend) birthday he wanted to Ice Skate. Imagine my frustration coming up with an outfit that would be Ice Skating appropriate and Birthday Dinner apropos. 

 Ive always imagined wearing pants on my first ice skating experience but I dont want to wear jeans to a birthday dinner. So I came up with a Jumpsuit. It gives the coverage that jeans can offer although the cloth is a bit thin. Wore something red and it was very fitting since I had this red blazer lying around the corner which I havent used yet. Now I look semi formal and semi casual.

 But to be perfectly honest, the blazer did help from the cold inside the skating rink, although it didnt help me from moving around since I am a beginner. The jumpsuit was too thin that when I fell buttfirst it became damp from the ice hahaha

Safe to say my outfit failed me during ice skating! Haha

What would you have worn?

Slip On

In my line of work, I am expected to wear heels when I meet with clients. Okay maybe that's not always the case, but that's just my mindset. You got to be super presentable when you're selling millions so why not look like millions?

I wore this ensemble when I thought I had a possible client meeting. And yes I was wearing slip-ons and thought that my outfit really went well with the slip ons. Never thought I could combine such ensemble. Haha! And no, I didn't wore this flats to the meeting.

 The blazer that I'm wearing is actually one of the things I got at Pop Distict Bazaar last September. I love it!

Do I look like millions regardless if I'm wearing the slip ons? No? Maybe just 999,000? Harhar

Marisse

Getting consistent are we? Haha! Yup I am on to my second comeback post! Still working on my domain!

For today's post, I'm gonna show you a secret spot and a really quaint pastry shop in the busy streets of Lahug, Cebu - Marisse Patisserie. Located at 32 Sanson by Rockwell, it boasts a really picturesque and instagrammable interior. See for yourself!

 Fun fact: Filling in the gap, I used to work for 32 Sanson by Rockwell as a Sales Executive but mahina ang benta ng ate mo, so I left the company. Haha! (Cos I kinda have to) Nothing but honesty here guys. Although I have nothing but praises for its management. Rockwell showed me the world and opportunities of Sales, hence that is where my career path is headed now.

Now before this post becomes all about my career lets stick to the story of the outfit!

 I already knew we were heading to Marisse. Now this shop wasn't there when I was still working for Rockwell so it was a first for me since the boyfriend had broker duties to attend to next door so I decided to check it out.

 It so happened that my baby brother (yup! filling in the gaps again: I have a baby brother! like an infant baby brother) turned 3 months that day,  so we brought him there. Originally, I wanted to wear something feminine to be at par with Marisse's interior, but knowing our baby will be coming with us, I decided not to push through.

Also, the weather has dramatically changed. Its already September and the heat still feels like summer. So guys, let us do our job to take care of Mother Earth, please! The weather affects my decision making in "Hmm what should I wear?"

I ended up wearing with a fuss free top and a denim pencil skirt which I got on SALE!!! I was thinking "What could I possibly add to make this more stylish?" But the heat says "Nope, stay in your tank top."

Capped off my outfit with  pointy, studded flats.

Sweater Leather

Who knew sweater and pencil skirts would look good together. Not to mention with a touch of leather. I have always wanted to wear a sweater+pencil skirt combo.

 

 I only see them in the movies as the "simple girl" outfit. Or the loser profile outfit. Of course mine is sans the socks. I paired it with mid heels instead to make it more me. And of course since grey could get boring at times. I added a beaded purple necklace just to brighten the ensemble a bit. Grey and black is such an off color. 

I wore this outfit to church. Let me tell you a secret. I go to church near my place. And most Sundays i wear "experiments". Experiments are outfit that i want to try but afraid of doing so. So i i experiment my clothes to church. So that if and ever id have a fashion faux pas. Its not too far to go home. Just in case the outfit doesnt work. Sometimes too i wear my new stuffs to church. Recent acquisitions. Its sort of a christening for new clothes. Haha me and my weirdness.
