PRINTS AND CHECKERED

I used to watch Queer Eye for the Straight Guy back when I was still in Pedro Gil. It was my dorm mate, Maizie who introduced me to the show. I remember one episode when Carson Kressly was wearing a print-and-checkered combination. I thought it was unusual but come to think of it, he pulled it off! And it was a fab! So last Friday morning when I thought I just have no other clothes to wear, (because I didn't press any and I still have to do my 2-week laundry), I thought of Carson's outfit. I got this animal-printed blouse that I bought in Paco Market at a very affordable price and my checkered capri pants from Robinson's Manila. I paired it with my usual brown suede wedge sandals and to complete the monochromatic effect, I used my brown bag from 50th Avenue.

I also had this outfit worn a few Mondays ago when I came to work from Cavite. But with a skirt. Here's the effect:





For my accessories, I wore this earrings given to me by my friend, Madel back in DPC days, my beaded bracelet is courtesy of my sister and my head piece was a gift from Ana of Anagon Collection.







Later today, I'll have a post on our Bazaar venture held last Saturday at The Collective in Malugay Makati.

Meantime, I have to run for another Manic Monday Morning! :)

HIDING THE BAD FEELINGS WITH BLACK

1st Wednesday. Raw School Day. After long hours of client calls and PR pitch for a personal care product, my colleague Ariane and I went off to Fort Bonifacio Global City to attend Raw School. The day was not sunny, neither rainy though when the evening came, there was the usual rainshowers that caused by the outgoing typhoon Juan. I was not feeling so good when I wake up in the morning but I knew I just had to go on since there's just too much to accomplish. So I just decided to use this Julia dress from Robinson's Department Store accented with this wide black belt given to me by Ariane as a gift and paired with a dark-gray leggings I bought from Popstyle boutique in Panay Avenue. As usual, I use my everyday bag from 50th Avenue-Robinson's Place Manila. And since it was raining the past few days I walked into this pair of jelly shoes from Rusty Lopez that I bought from their Cubao Expo branch.

Ariane and I have been working together for more than a year and sometimes, we come to the office wearing the same shade of outfit without even talking about what we have to wear the next day. I guess that's just the magic of people coming along together for a long time. I told her that after today is done, I promise to take a rest so this cold + cough + flu + allergy won't be aggrevated. I really feel so bad but I can't skip raw school. We've missed one session and there won't be another one.


Ariane and I at the streets of Global City, wearing the same shade for the day. Our client even asked us: "Did you girls agreed on your outfit?" :)
