Dainty

I love dressing up as the girly girl that I am for school. When I saw this blue green dress in Forever 21, I knew I had to have it. Even though the top part is actually sheer and it didn't come with any bandeau, I knew I could find something in my closet that would go with it and that it would still be perfect for school. It matched well with my pink shoes and accessories and one my favorite bags.

Also wore this to a meeting with my cousin Gabby and her girlfriend, Cristina Decena. They interviewed me for a school project in De La Salle University about our shoe line, Sophisticat Shoes. It feels good to get interviewed 'cause I feel like I get to inspire some people to do all the things they want at the same time.

Black and Gold

I really like sparkly stuff because it can make anything simple look unique. For example, black and gold, when combined is always very elegant. My outfit the other day consisted of a black and gold blouse that my grandma got for me in Forever 21, and a plain black tulip skirt.

Lucky Dress

I've always thought of this dress as unlucky when it comes to my academic life. Whenever I wear this dress, I get called for recitation and I don't really do well. Haha. Yes, I am superstitious so I haven't worn this dress to school in a while, even though it's one of my favorites (love the print and the cut!).

Well, today, the dress proved me wrong. I didn't get called and it was overall a happy day.

Dress - Forever 21 (picked out by my stylish mom); Shoes - Rajo! for Parisian, Necklace - Forever 21

I love this necklace from Forever 21! It matches my dress very well.

Shopping

Shopping is one of my most favorite things to do. I'm always ready to explore the entire store (and even mall) just to find what I love and not just what I like (because if I consider everything I like, I might end up buying 95% of the merchandise). And so whenever I go shopping, I make sure that I'm in my most comfortable clothes and shoes, even though it means that I'd have to deviate a little bit from my usual style.

This is an example of how my shopping get-up looks:

Top - Hong Kong; Jeans - Levi's; Shoes - Moby Red; Bag - Nine West
