One of the pitfalls of living in a tropical country is how you will look stupid by having a scarf wrapped around you. And don’t tell me that I shouldn’t care what other people think (because I don’t already). It’s just really hard to keep wearing the scarf when it’s about 90 degrees outside.
So here’s an ode to scarves. And how I wish I get to be a globetrotting lass just so I can wear them when it’s windy and chilly outside. :)
Now who’s in love? :)
As a girl, it is kind of weird to admit that I have never really grown fond of pink. Even if some close friends would argue (because my senior prom dress is pink which I chose at that time because my date likes girls in pink), I will always find it hard to pick up a pink item and buy it with my own money. But it still goes to say that I like a particular hue of that unusually unwanted shade of mine. When worn with a particular softness and a touch of taupe/beige/tan, it easily becomes the most romantic color and piece a girl will ever own.
And for that reason alone, I think I just might go out and get me some soft pinks.
And by that, I mean it can range from tops and bottoms to shoes and simple frills.
Haven’t shopped for the last three weeks. No wonder I’ve been sick.
These stylish women all came from Chictopia. :)
If you’ll look around my previous posts (as in historical), I’ve been complaining about having too strict dress codes in the office. I managed to scour the depths of Chictopia and gather a handful of corporate alternatives. I can’t wait to shop for these items and actually try them on in the office. Then again, I can’t really make lace shorts corporate right?
Aren’t these amazingly chic?
For the past week, PNoy has reprimanded PAG-ASA for not giving the right forecast for the weather. I can’t really blame him. He said what everyone has been saying for years: Parati na lang ganito. Nonetheless, grace has to be maintained. Although the winds were scarily wild, we all went to work that day, and even took a quiz at the end of the day. Nice. Not.
Because I wasn’t able to go to the beach, I suddenly have this longing for shorts. All kinds. Drawstring, high-waist, denim, cut-offs, ruched. All kinds. It really felt like summer just flew by my nose. Wasn’t even able to get wet. Then, I just can’t stop looking at shorts.
I’ve only just begun appreciating the flexibility of shorts. Throw on a blazer and already you’re a rock star.
Go all neutral and adopt shades of taupe and beige, wear a chiffon top, cinch that waist, and voila. You’re ready for a coffee date.
Another good thing about shorts is how easily you can create a contrast and a play of colors. Take a look at this blue-white-red ensemble. You can go anywhere in this. Well, prolly not at the opera, but you know what I mean.
And here are some more styles you will definitely fall in love with. Nothing accentuates legs more than shorts. :)
Oh crap. Now, I have to shop. :)
Glee came to an end. It wasn’t as glorious as a season ender should be, but they managed to pull off a memorable song or two.
Although I know that web window shopping will just give me pains (because I can’t afford it yet and with the manner our Customs officers act, the taxes will outweigh the actual price of the item.), I still browsed and looked around. My frustration for Topshop’s Addison Wedge just might be quenched by this ticket.
Good... but not good enough.
I still want you, baby.
Then, of course, there are those little things that make you miss the moments you were supposed to be in. Those little moments that make you want to replay over and over. Those fleeting little moments that you know you’ll remember forever.
Oh, how I’d love to be in New Jersey.
