Denim Vest

I've had this denim vest for quite some time now and on Sunday, I finally got to wear it for the first time. It's actually from a really old denim jacket! One night, I found the jacket in my mum's closet, realized that no one's using it anymore, and cut 'em! And I must say, it turned out just the way I wanted it to! I wore it over a grey tank tucked in a bandage skirt. I finished my look with my favourite pair of shoes at the moment, my wedge sneakers!

I'm pretty sure that you guys have noticed that denim tops are everywhere these days! Not only have I seen them being sold in a different stores like Topshop, Zara, and Mango, just to name a few. I've also seen quite a number of people wearing one. Even my brother wants to get himself one! Anyway, now that I've already managed to actually get myself one (after what seemed like forever!), I can see why they're such a big hit. 

What I love most about it is that I can style it a hundred ways! Seriously. (Warning: More posts with me wearing this lovely denim top coming!) Here, my lazy mood on the day I wore it shows. The way I styled it was very effortless. The booties, however, dressed it up a bit. Also, I love how the top gave a boyish look but was contrasted by the femininity the skirt gave.

Gothic

About three weeks ago, we had our womenswear shoot. This was also the first shoot wherein we got to actually style a full outfit. Exciting, right?! The peg for this shoot is gothic. I'm pretty sure that when you read 'gothic', the first thing that entered your mind was 'black'. Well, I'm right, aren't I?

For the hair, we went with the messy updo. For the make-up, smokey eyes is the key, of course!

I added a touch of gold to the look by using a gold square bangle and a black & gold dangling earrings. I didn't accessorize much, though, because I wanted to draw attention to every detail of the outfit itself. I love each and every piece of garment here. I mean what's not to love? You have lace, faux leather, and extraordinary tights!

What do you guys think?

7 Day Challenge x Metrowear Rocks

Top: Nuit; Skirt: Sewn with Love; Heel-less shoes: DAS; Purse: Prada; Necklace: Forever 21

Hey, dolls! Sorry, it took me too long before this next post. I've just been really busy for the past week with my newborn brother and all! Anyway, for the the third theme of the 7 Day Challenge, fashion show! One thing that learned from my instructor when choosing an outfit when attending one is that you should look elegant and fashionable at the same time. People should turn their heads toward you not because your look is screaming for attention.

I actually wore this outfit to Metrowear Rocks The Runway fashion show way back in May. I thought the heel-less shoes from DAS was perfect for the theme of the fashion show itself. Next to the simple yet elegant top (I love the cut on the sleeves!), this was my favourite part of the outfit. Since my shoes is already too damn deadly, I kept the rest of the outfit simple.

Elegant? Check! Fashionable? Check! What to you think?

Shade of Grey

Suede-ish (Excuse the word but I don't know what the fabric's called! :p) top: Sent from Heaven; Lace skirt: Sent from Heaven; Ballet flats: Zara; Tusk necklace: Oxygen

Here's what I wore to class last Friday. I just opted for something simple but even so, I still love everything about the look. There's something about it that makes me feel so girly even though not a single piece I'm wearing has a girly color. I suppose it's the lace skirt. I've been into lace skirts lately. Remember the blue one I used here? I also love this grey tank top because of it's fabric. I'm pretty sure it's not suede but it resembles it. With these two pieces, the color palette for that day didn't seem to matter -- I was still able to make a statement!

Print and Texture

Top: Massimo Dutti; Skirt: Sent from Heaven

Necklace: from Greenhills

Bag: Dorothy Perkins; Ring: Accessorize; Bangle: Gift

Shoes: Zara

I've had this lace skirt for two months now but I never got to wear it until last Sunday. That's because I could not find the perfect top that would go with it! I've tried on countless number of tops and failed.

Out of nowhere though, I found this paisley-print button-down top. I know, where has it been the past two months, right?! It was perfect for the lace skirt so yay!

I love how the monochromatic look turned out, and with the texture and print paired with each other, it even became edgier.

Identification

A few weeks back, I mentioned that I'll be taking up Fashion Styling soon. Last Thursday, I finally did it! I enrolled at Fashion Institute of the Philippines. Upon enrollment, I was informed that come Friday, the first day of classes, I will be having my photo taken for my school ID. And this isn't your ordinary ID, folks! I can actually choose to have a full or half body shot, and do whatever pose I want. Cool, right?

Top: Wai Hung; Skirt: Sewn with Love; Oxfords: So Fab

You know what it means! An outfit shot, of course! I decided to wear something bright, something that would pop out and bring life to my ID, hoping that it would turn out nicely, 'cause honestly, all my school IDs sucked big time! Haha.

The Beatles charm bracelet: Girl Shoppe; Nail polish: Daewon Cosmetics (Korean brand)

To finish the look, instead of tucking the top in, I left the last two buttons open and tied a knot, which left me looking more casual. :)

Necklace: Girl Shoppe

Next week, I will tell you more about my class. I'll also probably give you loves some tips about styling and stuff! Excited?!

Stripes 'n' Tights

Top: Zara; Mini skirt: Zara; Tights: SM Accessories; Oxfords: So Fab; Bag: Mango

Since I haven't worn tights for what seemed like forever, and I actually miss the comfy but sexy feeling it gives, I decided to make it a part of my outfit yesterday. I paired it with a black & white striped top and cream & black Oxfords. Of course, I did not forget to put on my trusty mini (so 'mini' that I cannot wear it alone!) skirt to serve as a cover up since tights are too thin to be worn alone (like my mini skirt). I mean I wouldn't want people staring at my butt while walking in a mall, right?! Haha.

With that, I'll leave you with this tip: never in your life pair leggings or tights with tops so short that it doesn't cover your behind. ;-)
