Delightful Illusions: jacket

Hi, guys! Today's post is about the outfit I wore today on my niece's birthday party. It's her 7th birthday celebration today; a Frozen-themed party. All of the decorations were colored either blue, white or silver. Anyways, I wore something comfortable (as always) yet still colorful and youthful.

As you can see, I'm chubby right now. Haha! I have been eating a lot the past few months and I honestly didn't care. For my dress, I chose this high-low cut, flower-printed short dress that I purchased from Boracay. I though this was so suitable for the venue which is on the beach. My cousins wore maxi dresses, but I didn't want to trouble myself being uncomfortable on the bus. I cannot explain the specific style of this dress; it has cinch on the waistline and has this overlay fabric of the same print on the neckline. See this picture from Instagram to see what I mean: Colorful Dress.

I layered my dress with a cropped, light wash denim jacket which I got from a thrift store in Baguio. I have big arms right now and I don't feel like exposing so I have to cover them. This jacket seems to have matched with my dress pretty well. What can you say? I was actually inspired by Demi Lovato to pair girly dresses with denim jackets. Remember the Camp Rock 2 days? Her outfits were so cute!

Then I chose a brown sling bag with studs and fringes from Stradivarius. I cannot find this bag on their online store anymore but here similar ones on this page. This bag is spacious enough to put my wallet, sunglasses, earphones, small body mist and makeup at times.

To spice up my outfit, I wore this some sort of a connector ring; one band one the middle part and the other band on the bottom connected by a chain. Please tell me what do you call this type of ring because I clearly do not know. Haha!

For shoes, I chose these brown sandals from the brand Spring Fling which I bought online at Zalora. Fortunately, you can still purchase this online on this page.I think that these pair of flats went well with the rest of my outfit. These have put on a bohemian vibe on the overall outfit, together with the bag. These shoes are so comfortable to wear on and looks unique compared to other strappy sandals I've seen.

This was my outfit for today's family occasion. I loved this overall look because it's cute, youthful, and vibrant. I felt like I was a teenager again. I think that it suited pretty well for a children's party. It's comfortable, simple yet playful at the same time. Did you like my outfit as well? Let me know by leaving a comment down below. I enjoy making posts about this because I like sharing my style with you, guys. I hope you stay tuned because I will share my favorites next. Thank you so much for visiting. Have a great day. Stay safe. XOXO

Ola! :D How are you doing my dear readers? Are you having a great time like me? Haha! I don't know what's gotten into me, but I just suddenly enjoyed being busy. It seems like I've been taking tons and tons of Enervon. Haha! Okay, I'll stop laughing. :) I don't have anything special to post for today and I hope you can bear OOTDs for a mean time. Is that okay, guys? Don't worry, I'm planning something for the upcoming Valentine's Day, maybe a series. It just really depends on my schedule. And, speaking of V-Day, I'm so excited! For the first time on my entire existence, I got so excited for the said occassion. I don't the exact reason why. I'm just feeling happy and positive right now. I'm surprised of what's happening to me lately. But whatever it is, it's making me light-hearted and productive. :)

So, for today's post, I'll be featuring my favorite pair of shoes as a continuation of the 30 Day Beauty Blog Challenge. Even though this is supposed to be over a month ago, I'm still doing it because I don't have any plans of quitting. :) Without further ado, I'll get started...

My favorite pair of shoes is a glitter tennis shoes that I bought from SM Department Store. It's pretty cheap; I got it for only Php 249. I love how it matches on my various outfits. I've worn to work and parties and stayed intact. I guess it's a good quality despite of the price. It's definitely a steal.

Before I end my post, let me share with your my outfit yesterday and today. The past few days has been really cold, it's like Winter to me. Haha! I decided to wear what-people-wear-during-winter clothes yesterday. I was supposed to add a scarf but I thought it was already exaggerated. My co-workers woul have probably laughed at me. Haha! :D

Cap was from a kiosk, Cardigan was borrowed from my mom; Pants was from a thrift store, Pink blouse was a gift from my mom.

I'm wearing the same shoes shown above. No makeup - proof that I'm really busy. :D

I wore something preppy today because our department conducted a workshop. I went for a not-so-formal and a-little-oversized cropped jacket that I bought from a thrift store.

It was so windy outside. Haha.

An overview of my outfit.

That's all for today's post. I hope you enjoyed reading this. :) Talk to you soon. Have a nice day. Stay safe. XOXO

Hello, there! Welcome to my first segment of Fashion Finds, where I feature favorite items from various stores mostly at affordable prices. In this first post, I will we talking about my fashion finds accumulated from thrifting. I have written a similar post on my previous blog and readers liked it and so I decided to make another one. I hope new readers will this too. :D

A lot of Filipinos, from lower to upper class, loves shopping at Ukay-Ukay stores (Thrift stores) because of the great bargains they could find like finding high end items, sometimes unused and still tagged. I remember spotting a Versace pants when I visited Magarbo. Unfortunately, the piece was small for me. But, I have also scored on brands like GAP, Marks&Spencer, Christian Dior, Juicy Couture, Fila and Levi's. It just really depends on how you handle your clothes to make it not look like from the thrift store. I could be cheapskate at times. :)

The first item I'm gonna show you is a knitted sleeveless top that I got from our local market, the ukay-ukay is held at our town's gymnasium. The price ranges from Php 1-60 per piece. I got this top for Php 10 and it's from the brand Le Fumoir. Maybe it's French, I'm not really sure.

This piece has a simple structure and easy to dress up or down, it's comfortable to wear and the details are cute. The beads at the neckline look like a necklace. I use simple accessories when wearing this one.

Next is a pair of pants I got from a thrift store somewhere in Marymart Mall. Sorry, I forgot the name of the shop. :D It's a tattered jeans in acid wash. I got this together with another 3 items for Php 150.

Since it has a long slit, I've sewn it in a rugged-looking manner using a gray thread. Gladly, it went with the rips. It's from the brand Kubense. Sounds like Japanese. What do you think guys?

I wear this almost every time we travel through roro bus because it's surprisingly comfortable to wear even for 24 hours straight. Maybe it's with the fabric. Plus, the details are adorable. My aunts asked me where did I buy this because they said this is nice.

Then, I have hear a denim jacket from the brand Snidel. I bought this from Magarbo for Php 100. It's also in an acid wash just light in color.

The details of this item are super adorable. The sleeves has a floral accent which surrounds it and was lengthened to form a tie. A little bit kid-ish but goes well with my dresses. I was inspired by Demi Lovato to wear denim jacket over a girly dress.

Here's a picture of me wearing the jacket with a polka dot dress. This was taken last June 24 at Ocean Adventure. Throwback Thursday! Yay! :D What can you say about the outfit? Any suggestions?

I bought this skirt somewhere in San Jose, Antique. My cousins knows a person who sells new/used items from the US. So, her lawn looks like a thrift store. Her clothing items had different prices, depending on the condition and what brand. I spotted this stripe pink, candy-looking skirt from GAP. Isn't this the cutest?

It's a little big for me. But it's okay since I can tuck my shirts inside this skirt. I pair this with plain to minimum-printed shirts. Since there's a lot going on in this skirt, it's best to match it with something that doesn't contrast to the print.

OMG! This next piece screams G-L-A-M-O-U-R. The structure, cute, fabric and just every thing with it is perfect. I love that it has a high-low cut which was placed in an unusual position. I was lucky enough to find this at Magarbo. It's unused, still has tag attached to it. It was only Php 100. I would say that is by far the best bargain I had. This skirt reminds me of Tinker Bell.

The color is somewhat muted but that's the advantage because it can be paired with almost anything. By the way, this is from Como. A fail model picture of the skirt. I'm sorry, it was out of focus. Do you like the skirt too?

Finally, the last I have here is a unique dress from Izzue. This is also bought from Magarbo for Php 100. It's a glitzy navy blue dress with sparkly studs attached to it. I don't know, but I think this dress seems to be Korean in style.

The best part of the dress? The bottom! It has lace and looks like a tutu. I've worn this last Christmas and people at the mall were staring at the dress constantly. I paired it with a doll shoes and curly bob. Looked so cute! Would you wear something like this?

Did you like this post? Tell me by leaving a comment below. I really enjoyed taking pictures of these clothes and blogging about them. Please if you have any request/s, don't hesitate to tell me. I will do my best to do them. I've got to go now. Talk to you on my next post. Have a nice day! XOXO
