Outfit Of The Day: Little White Dress

Tweet

A boring corporate outfit (or any outfit for that matter) depresses me. 

That's probably one of the reasons why I avoid the old-school corporate world.

I was invited for a job interview by this online gaming company, and asked me to come in corporate attire.

I really couldn't bear wearing the usual blah corporate clothes, so I wore something that fits my taste and at least a little office chic.

Blazer - Jus Ur Size by SM ladies Fashion

Dress - Betty by SM Girls Teens' Wear

Tights - Forever 21

Shoes - Comfit by Michael Antonio

Outfit Of The Day: Retro Mullet

Tweet

I was really hesitant about this trend: the high-lows and mullet style of dresses and skirts. 

I remember ranting to a girlfriend that I don't get the point of this. 

Why can't they just make it either short, or long? But now I caught myself embracing this trend. 

Funny thing is, for a second there, I forgot that fashion doesn't always make sense. 

Its an art; a medium of self-expression, and output of one's creativity. So how could I have judged it? 

This mullet dress is not the most obvious kind. The front part is not that high unlike your usual mullet dress / skirts. It's also in gorgeous pleated chiffon, giving it a romantic feel. I also love the playful retro print. It's originally a sleeveless dress, but yeah like I would wear such in a public place (except if I'm going swimming, of course).

I donned this outfit during an event by a local beauty and spa clinic.

My Red Shoes

"Please take me home".

Just like Dorothy, I've been asking my red shoes to take me home. I've been wandering too much, thus I feel lost.

I must confess I've been quite ungrateful for some opportunities that has been presented to me. But at the end of the day, if I'm not happy, I really can't stay. If it doesn't feel right, it will never feel right.

Someday, somehow, I will get there.

SM Dept Store Girls Teens' Wear - Coupon for P100 Off

Tweet

Who would have thought a luscious plus-sized chic like myself would find items at the Girls Teens' Wear department that actually fits and flatters?

People usually compliment my style and ask where I get such nice clothes; SM Girls Teens' Wear is one of my secret shopping havens. ;)

I really don't constraint or limit myself with just "plus size" clothes. Maybe its the rebel in me, but I just don't like being boxed.

Now what do I consider when looking for items that would fit me in the regular-sized department: style, cut, and material. I usually gravitate towards empire cut dresses, stretchy (but not clingy) fabrics, and everything else that has forgiving cuts and styles.

I also prefer buying in the GTW because items more affordable than the items in the Ladies Department.

But what do I love more about shopping here especially now? DISCOUNT!

 Chilipina's Haul?

The first dress (a little more formal) is worth P549.75 while the Pink/Grey dress is P599.75. Because I purchased them in a single transaction (Total is P1150), I used the voucher and I only paid P1050. I love discounts!!! That P100 that I saved was properly used to buy Milk Tea. Hahaha!
