Make a statement!

Let your accessories do the talking for you!


To maximize the full potential of any outfit, it's important to accessorize. With statement-making jewelry everywhere, upping the glam-factor of your look is now as simple as throwing on a bib necklace over almost any top.
[Now, I don't remember where i got that!]
 


This necklace says a lot, right!

But it doesn't even have to talk,
it just stares right at ya! And then you fall in love, just like that!

What I Wore - My Birthday!

Here's another one of those 'stripey' outfit I was telling you about in this post.
Told you they'll keep on comin'!

Stripey outfit no.2
This is what i wore last Sunday, 10.10.10
Black & white striped maxi dress - local shop
A&F flipflops
Multiple chain silver necklace with turquoise flower pin [which i just added for a pop of color]
This time I ditched the pink and gray and gold.

The whole outfit is, believe it or not, only 160yuan [excluding the bag, watch & stunnas] which if converted to peso is roughly around Php1,100.00!


My birthday was last Thursday the 7th, we decided to skip the celebration that day and just planned a birthday lunch with Filipino friends that Sunday after church...




But then again, we still had dinner at our favorite resto after I came back from a day of, what else? SHOPPING!!!!

Outfit Inspiration for Fall - Stripes+Pink+Gray+Denims


I recently been to a shopping trip and all I saw displayed in stores were stripes! Even some of the shoppers were wearing one, either in combo of black & white, gray & white, gray & black, and so I said to myself, maybe i'd buy a few! A few? I ended up buying almost every 'striped' thing I saw...[I hope my husband doesn't get to read this!]
Tsk tsk! I really have a problem, I know! I need a good spanking right now!

So, now that I have one too many striped thing in my closet, how i'd wear them is a dilemma!

And so, when I saw this,
a light bulb inside my head suddenly lit up [I watched a lot of cartoons]...
I instantly thought 'inspiration'!

I especially liked the idea of combining pink, white & gray with a pop of turquoise and gold,
I never would've thought that gold would go nicely with gray...

So, here's stripey outfit no.1!


I modified it a bit since I'm dressing up for Fall... I ditched the gold sandals and put on my slouchy pink/old rose boots with a strip of silver on each side, it's really, really old like 3 years old old, and it's also really, really cheap like Php200.00 cheap! I'm not kidding! I bought it at 25yuan (x6.8 more or less) in March 2007, at the tail-end of winter. It's my all-time favorite boots coz it has wedge heels which adds a good 2 inches to my height but despite that it's very light and comfy to walk on in, and it's pink, of course! Also, I used my pink sweater [also old, 2004 or 2005 can't even remember], in case it gets chilly in the afternoon/night, just wrapped it around my neck, instead of the short-sleeved blouse.

Did I mention that I bought almost every stripey thing i saw? Yes? So, you know this is not gonna be the first and last stripey post of mine that you're gonna see, right?

What I Wore - Family Photoshoot

Last Saturday, hubby was in the mood for an indoor photoshoot of our family... He set up everything including the white wall and lights so it would turn out to look like a pro's work...
It did turned out great! We got lots of compliments from the photos...
One outfit, two ways to accessorize:

Left photo: For daytime wear
Wore it with a fedora hat, gold earrings, and a nude wedge sandals.

Right photo: For a night out
Wore it with a turquoise peeptoe wedge and turquoise bangle for pops of color.
