Pretend

Here I am, pretending that it's super cold but in reality, it is just as humid as any summer day.

The beanie/beret is a gift from my boyfriend. Every time he goes to Baguio he brings home one for me. He's the sweetest! At present I now have three of these hats.

cardigan - divi, mini dress (used as a top) - divi, leggings - a gift, 

beanie/beret - a gift: from Baguio, shoes - "Lena" Crocs

Thanks to Mia and Laura for the pictures! :D

Everything's Coming Up Roses

Manila weather continues to be elusive. Recently, the days have been gloomy and the skies heavy with rain. I love the cloudy days, but dressing up also becomes confusing since it's supposed to be summer. But still, I am thankful for the colder weather because I don't have to worry about sweating. :D

Anyway, here's an outfit I wore during one of the sunnier days of Manila.

 

dress - custom-made, cardigan - Okasyon,

flats - Payless ShoeSource, rose ring - a gift

For the rain

Manila weather has been leaving me quite dazed and confused recently. Last week the days were intolerable as the temperature rose to almost 37 degrees. And just today, I even contemplated on wearing boots going to work because of the rain. Hay, crazzzy weather.

Here's an outfit dedicated to the rain. I do believe I'm also channeling a bit of Lisbeth Salander here.

denim jacket - Market Market, turtleneck - thrifted, leggings - a gift,

boots - a gift: from Japan, bracelet - a gift, cuff - 10 Peso store (!)

In Uniform

I realize that I still haven’t shown you my uniform. Well, here it is…all covered up with my loooong "jacket". And I’m even wearing my beanie to make it look more casual, ha ha. I can’t help it, this beanie/beret is just one of my most favorite items. I even wore it to a gig once since it makes me feel less nervous when I have it on while singing. Anyway, I’ve had this beanie/beret since last Christmas but because the weather is only getting colder again (hallelujah!) these past few days, it’s just making its comeback.

The guy I’m with, by the way, is Chris, my office sibling. He’s one of the happiest people here in our office and look it, we’re both wearing our beanies! 

 OK, now you see our uniforms :P
