Reappearance

So after breakfast, we freshened up a bit and then rode on a van to explore Baguio. But before I get to that in a separate post, here's what I wore:

The problem with sporadic posts is that a piece of clothing can make another reappearance just after a few posts ago. But that just goes to show how much I love it, as I've said before. :)

And if I do say so myself, this is just the right outfit, AND the perfect day, when exploring Baguio.

Sunlight, oh Sunlight

My lovely aunties, nanay, and I went to Baguio last weekend for a three-day bonding session. It was so fun and all we did was eat, reminisce, laugh, and take pictures. More memories were made during those three days.

So here I am upon arriving at The Suites at Camp John Hay. We arrived in Baguio just as the sun was rising, and the view--pink-orange tinged clouds, the sun's rays peeking through them--was just breathtaking. Anyway, the coat I am wearing below was thrifted from Baguio by my boyfriend for me, with a little help from his girl cousins. It is my absolute favorite coat and it kept me warm during the midnight trip.

This is the lobby of The Suites. It's just newly made so the rooms still smell of fresh paint. We stayed there during the first day, then moved to the Manor during the second day.

Caught Red-legged

Here's a break from all the blue outfits I've been posting.


Accidental finds are perhaps those that end up being worn the most. This particular pair of red jeans are among my accidental thrifting finds, together with the maxidress in the previous post. I didn't really want to buy pants but these were too special to let go compared with the skirt I was planning to purchase. Probably because of the number of outfits that ran through my head when I saw them. Yes, life's like that.
