Oh villains fear him
Tetsuwan Atom (Astro Boy) t-shirt from that ukay beside Lolo Oboy’s, P280. Tank top from Baguio ukay, P30. Unbranded jeans from Circle C, P250. Necklace from Punya, P80. Watch from Tomato. Chucks.
And here it is. My Astro Boy shirt with the collar area chopped off to transform it from a little boy’s shirt to a Flashdance-y shirt. Yey!
The print says, “Atom is a super hero”. And then there’s that awesome holographic design.
As I was getting dressed, I tried to convince myself that the weather was nice, and it wasn’t scorching hot… seeing as I was to wear two layers of clothing when most girls are wearing thin sleeveless shirts the past few days. Either I really did convince myself properly, or the weather really was nice. Or maybe this whole combo isn’t hot at all. Oh, man, I wish it was that last one so I can wear this again soon!
So. My first t-shirt cutting project. Success? Yes? No?
Title from the 1980 Astro Boy opening theme. Personally I like the 1960 one better, but that… is beside the point of this post. Haha!
honey, I swear, your love is my repair
Green empire blouse. Black tank. Necklace from my mom. Two-sided belt. Heartstrings bag. Jag jeans.
I think I’ve said before that most of my references say that I should stay away from smock dresses and empire blouses. I’ve been having trouble with this one in particular. On some days it looked fine, but in other days (particularly the days when I felt bloated) I looked…bloated. I realized just today, after taking a few photos of me in it, that maybe it’s one size too small for me.
You can go, “how can you not realize that?” Well, here’s the thing. I bought it a year or two ago. I thought it looked fine even though its size was Medium (I’m usually a Large). It certainly felt (and still feels) fine. So since I already had it on, and I was already having myself a shoot, I figured I could just do something about it.
Denim belt to the rescue!
I don’t usually do this with my belts, but for this ensemble it felt right. Er…Is it right? Or should I just get rid of the blouse and look for another one with the right size?

Brown turtleneck from that ukay beside Lolo Oboy’s, P120. Silver necklace with G-clef pendant, Cebu airport. Watch. Slacks.
Huh. I’m discovering that maybe I actually look okay in turtlenecks. Huh. Interesting. It kind of makes me look like a boss-type lady, if I match it with a sort of frown like this one. Haha! It makes me wonder if I’ll look even more bossy if I wore a pencil skirt and killer hills with this. Hmmmmm.
And, by the way, this blouse? It’s in near perfect condition. Pretty good for its price!
About the photo
Look at the cute magnets between me and the SUCCESS note on the wall. Haha!
Taken at 6 PM at the office. Thus the low lighting again. *sigh* I already tried to do color correction and lessen the yellow hue, but this is the best I can do. Any Photoshop tips, anyone?

Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
Graphic t-shirt, unbranded jeans and moon guitar necklace, all from Circle C. Boots from ukay sa Crossing. Beatles bag from Thailand.
My outfit for the Alice in Wonderland premier. Of course I was going to wear my little moon guitar necklace. It’s Alice size! Haha!

Because, because, because, because
So I bought a new pair of Chucks.
Because I love Chucks.
And because I’ve never had red shoes.
And because I was going to the Red Shoes premier.
Time to see this pair: a split-second.
Time to try it on: 2 minutes.
Time to decide if I should get it: a split second.
This has got to be one of my fastest purchases. Haha!

About the photo
Pixelated, I know. Boo, low lighting. Boooooo! But then again, the low light made the red stand out more. Sorta.
Baby, behave, we’ll make it work
1920′s-inspired Lavender feather clip from Tin’s debut. Also, my mom’s mother of pearl necklace with a white gold chain. And my purple dress.
At the debut, we were all required to wear this feathery headdress they gave out at the door. But I didn’t know beforehand, so my hair wasn’t exactly…prepped for it. I think I spent 15 minutes in the ladies’ room trying to clip this on my hair properly! I think I kind of pulled it off, though. Kind of.
I wasn’t planning on featuring this separately (and, come on, my hair is seriously a MESS that night!) but I realized that you can’t really see the headdress in my red carpet photo.
About the photo
Taken by Chique. Today I’m wearing a blouse I already blogged about, and I’m being lazy and I don’t want to dig in my accessories for something else to shoot, so I’m falling back on old shots. Haha!
Title from “Earth”, Imogen Heap, because I love Imogen Heap, and because Imogen has feathers in her hair.
Say the word I’m thinking of
Have you heard the word is love
- “The Word”, The Beatles. From the Revolver album, 1965.
Tank top and jersey combo from Circle C, P300. Jag jeans. Chucks. Dog tag from the Febfair in LB manymany years ago. Watch from Tomato.
I’ve been wanting to do this look for a long, long, long time, but I couldn’t find a shirt like that that looked good on me. And I didn’t have a tank top. Until now. And, even better, I got them both as a combo. Wheeee!
Darn. Now I want to cut the neckline of some of my not-used-anymore shirts. Haha!
About the photo
I love shooting in UP Film Center at noon. The harsh lighting does wonders in this setting, for some reason. Must be the orange brick?
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Purple dress, SM Department Store. Sequined shoes, Manels. Silver earrings. White gold and mother of pearl necklace. Mother of pearl bracelet. Black sequined bag.
This is what I wore to a friend’s fashion show-themed debut. I’ve worn it only once before, so I’m SO glad to be able to wear it again. It seems such a waste to buy formal clothes to wear only once.
This is what I had in my bag in this photo. Same make-up, same accesories, same shoes. Different dress, different bag. Obviously.
My hair in this photo is a mess. Boo.

I mistook you for a stranger, my lady in a golden outfit
A plum-and-gold-and-brown top, Apple & Eve. Blue jeans, Jag. A black knit bag. A white gold necklace. Silver earrings. Silver shoes, Manel’s.
I wonder how many followers of the fashion rules are cringing right now. LOL.
On my way out to Tin’s debut in Esplanade. I was not about to get a cab wearing my formal dress. At 3 PM. No way. If it was already in the night, it would’ve be easier: I probably would have just thrown on a coat and I was fine. But no. It was 3 PM. So, no. I packed my dress into my mom’s bag before leaving. Haha!

You could be making the grade
Coat from our Monday uniform by Adi Velasquez. Black shirt from Kamiseta. Black slacks. Plastic crystal necklace from…er…I dunno.
Mixed my monday uniform with…non-uniform clothes. Ended up looking like a teacher. Which wasn’t so bad. Except, I am NOT a teacher. My mom is a teacher, though. And I think she had a photo very much like this several years ago.
I bought NOTHING in this outfit. The coat was paid for by our office. The pants were excellent quality hand-me-downs from my mom. The blouse was bought by my mom when I was in high school. (Yes. High school. And yes, it still fits me. I was fond of loose clothes then.) And the necklace…Darn, I can’t remember where I got it from! I think my mom gave me that, too.
…I mix-matched! Successfully! YEY!!! *insert dancing emoticon here*
