sheering florals

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE!!!

i'm so sorry if i've been lacking blog posts lately but it's really hard to take outfit posts especially since my work doesn't require me dressing up...plus the weather is just soooo crazy lately that i just usually resort to not-so-blog-worthy pieces. 

anyway, i survived my first work week! i used to dread mondays but i think i will be looking forward to mondays and tuesdays from now on since these are my days off :) i did of course get some first work week blues but i'm a lot stronger and determined than that...i just think about the salary (in dollars) and i'm fine. LOL!

i now know how to go around the city via bus and train too so i'm looking forward to discovering the city alone :) of course, my sister picks me up after work still but i get off at 10pm so there's really nowhere to go too. but today is the anniversary of value village (a major thrift store here) and everything's 50% off so i'm off to do some shopping! see y'all later! bisous xx

thrifted blazer and sheer dress used as a top. zara harem pants. forever 21 wedges. roxy blue bag. sunnies from dollar store. cocktail rings from the philippines.

it's almost fall so i had to take advantage or else i'll freeze to death wearing sheer tops/dresses! and oh, i bought the new issue of people so i'd stop asking benj if what i'm wearing is weather appropriate ;)

i got some sheer, a little bit of leather and a whole lot of black

hello tuesday! tuesday is the only time on weekdays wherein i can be relaxed because i don't have to work (although i have a lot chores to do and i go to church with mom at night) and that only means one thing, i have time to blog! :)

i've never been this excited with any outfit before! i don't know but there's something about this outfit that makes me giddy to share it with everyone. i've been thinking about the sheer top i found in my mom's closet (which is originally my sister's but she sadly admits she was the one who bought it) ever since lace became a trend again. i thought the sheer top would be so perfect with blazers (just like lace tops). then a few days ago, i saw stylescrapbook and theblondesalad wearing their sheer tops and i knew i just had to revive mine (it's mine now, ha!). 

the original plan was to wear it with a blazer but i thought it would be perfect with these high-waisted leather shorts i bought last friday from the thrift store (guess how much i got it for??)...and wahlah, it didn't disappoint me! it looks so much in sync...like it was meant to be! :) :) :) plus i've always wanted to rock the closed button button-down polo look ever since i saw liz uy rocked it a couple of times during philippine fashion week.

when i twitpic the first photo for my sister to see, she said she loved it and it looks like a "sosyal na kontrabida (classy villain)". i really wanted to show her that this sheer top can actually be reinvented in a way that it won't look hoochy.

whoever said that sheer with leather is hoochy, didn't know how to style ;)

i have one problem with these leather shorts though...you have to make sure that when being photographed, it is all ironed and straightened out because a few wrinkles would make it look like you have a bulge (note to self: maintain proper posture all the time). HAHA!!!

but tell me...the hair pulled back and braided is so perfect for this outfit, yeah? :)
