Colored skinnies, leopard-print, stripes

I have amassed quite a collection of colored denims over the past year, I think I have 12 pairs now (quite an obsession)  and i love all of them! 

 I love colors! Makes me happy! They come from various brands, a few are from H&M...

What I wore -- Colored skinnies part 2

Happy Monday!

My new hot pink skinnies finally got it's FALL/WINTER debut! Yay!

I actually waited for the colored skinnies to go on sale at summer's end so I could get a good deal of 'em coz you know what they say about spending too much money on some trends, not wise, cause it's sure to go as fast as it came... I made it my life's motto, lol... Yeah, hard times does that to you!

I bought 2 (one cobalt blue and this one), I actually wanted to buy one in every color but self-control prevailed... But now, I'm itching to buy one more -- the yellow one to wear with my black & white stripe top and new gray sweater...

What I wore:

Black & white top

Hot pink skinnies

Wedge sandals

What I wore -- Pink + Black & White stripes

Some days I wake up with an outfit in mind and some days I am clueless on what to wear, so I turn to the web for inspiration, this is one of those days...

I was browsing some random blogs and found this cute outfit from a blog called I Am Style-ish, forgive me 'cause I can't find the link to it, I'd put it up as soon as I got it...

Have a safe halloween!

Must-have bag for shopping & travelling




...and it's PINK!

 

My go-to bag has always been the cross-body bag or messenger bag... And why not, it keeps both my hands free especially when I'm shopping...

I found this Gucci belt bag [though not a messenger or cross-body, it serves the same purpose]

and thought it's really cute as it is PINK! (Anything pink, cute and CHEAP, i BUY!)

...and it being a GUCCI, is definitely not cheap!

Well, I can dream, can't I?

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?

"So nice, buy it twice!"

When I told you I don't have problem buying multiples, this is what I mean... When I see something I like and if I can't decide which color to get, i usually just go ahead and buy both! That is if and when it's really, really cheap!

....coz If I don't, then when I get home, i'd be thinking about it nonstop until I want to kick myself in the butt for not buying it in the first place... Hah!

I think what I have is a shopping problem! A serious one...

[i just don't think i'll ever want to recover! *wink wink*]

Hot pink gladiators, i want!

I have been eyeballing this pink gladiators for a while now but with the steep price tag, I definitely could not afford it...

So what's the next best thing to do?
Look for cheaper alternatives!

Found this look-alike at a local store for just a little under $11!

Total score! I think it's not just cheaper but prettier as well!

Woohoo!
