Unconventional Surprise

{Wore: Pa-sweet Clothing(thrift) bunny dress and under-skirt, DIY coat, Vivienne Westwood tote bag and thrift wedges}

Fighting the laziness, I spontaneously conjured all my strength one afternoon and did what I long planned for since I saw this post by one of my favorite blogger, Ivania Carpio. I was instantly inspired and instantly swooned  by the thought that I could totally make this coat-cape within an hour(max) ... and I did!

This coat is probably Fashion Week worthy, but I can assure you that this is not a 2-in-1 piece where you slip your arms in, once you feel the chill of the SMX AC. Unless, that is, if you don't mind the inconvenience of not being able to raise your arm, o-or if your instinct is telling you that this could be the start of a new "ugly-trend" called "Armpit holes" (If you have another word for armpit, other than under arm, then it's a statement look that doesn't seem to smell).

But so far I'm contented with what it is, as it is - An unconventional surprise.

P.S: What is Cheesy? The closing statement is.

Hot & Cold

Hey,

First, let me just say, that the title is totally irrelevant to this outfit post. This is the result of the internet connection going AWOL on you (Gateway Timeout Error 504) and you're left with only 10 seconds to think of a lookbook title. I saw Red; I saw Blue, so why not Hot and Cold, as in Fire and Water. Even Herman Melville had a hard time thinking of titles - Moby Dick wasn't very original either.

On to the main part: Denim and Red. I have never noticed it before, but they really do match well. Here in the Philippines we have this "nakakputi" moment (Filipinos, even if we deny it, it's obvious we have a "Mestiza fetish"). It occurs when you're in a moment where your skin glows more than usual or it seems you've become one shade lighter. An example is when you just dyed your hair a color that complements your skin or most of the time when you've tried on a new pair of shoes, preferably in PINK. You can't experience it all the time (unless, with the help of photoshop), that's why I call it a "moment."

Anyhow, Denim together with Red radiated a nakakputi moment for me. I do have a few denims in my wardrobe so I might wear something like this again in the future. Or better yet, I'll make sure to have a Denim and Red ensemble ready for the lazy-but-must-still-look-quirky-days.

Love,

Cham

P.S: If I have the chance to think of a relevant title for this one, then I'll dub thee "Nakakaputi moment". No? I'll try better next time (I'm not promising anything though)

Looking at pictures, that I took, from our recent pig-out at Army Navy, Nuvali makes me crave for some Quesadilla ...

Now, TO THE KITCHEN!! 

Polka dotty

Hey Polka,

My boyfriend recently asked me if I have some sort of fashion-fetish for polka dots. It caught me by surprise because I can only name 2 or 3 polka dotted pieces that I personally own, where 2 are thrifted both in navy and white dots. I asked how did he arrive in such conclusion? And he plainly said , because he always sees me in them. 

Then I noticed I really do wear my polkies more than once each month. Well, It's a bit of a coincidence really. I don't wear them because of the design but rather because the fabric and style is a fashion staple. They are one of my fail-proof outfits for lazy-but-must-still-look-quirky days. You'd get it if you've experienced it.

So there, I don't have any special feelings towards polka dots; I don't hate them nor do i scream at the sight of them. Period.

Love,

Dotty (See what I did there?)

P.S: After looking for reference of polka dots that I personally own. I found this, this and this of the polka dots that I've worn once before selling them on Pa-sweet clothing. This totally doesn't mean that I have a polka dot fetish.
