Work Style: Dress On Pants

Weekend is over and we are back to work again.

I decided to wear my DRESS over my PANTS and put on that oversized blazer.

I love wearing dresses, but I prefer most not showing my gams, that they be worn over my leg warmers: leggings and then now, my pants.

Trend Alert: Pleated Midi Skirt in Vintage Marsala

The word vintage is hackneyed and overly cliched, do you so agree?

But then again, here I am, using the word as another title for my blog post.

Why use the word "vintage"?  My outfit in this post is a mix of seemingly "vintage" and brand new fashion pieces.  I love mixing and matching vintage (thrifted or hand-me-downs) and contemporary (modern or even futuristic) pieces in one look.

In this post, I am also sharing a HOW-TO-WEAR a certain fashion piece.  Heard of a MIDI-MAXI SKIRT DRESS?  It is actually just a maxi skirt that is worn as a dress.  How is it worn?  By pulling up the garterized waist of the skirt up to the neckline, and there you have a dress, now in midi-length.  You can opt for cinching it with a belt or have it loose.

F.Y.I.

The PLEATED MIDI SKIRT is one of the trends for Spring 2016. Click HERE for more details of the trends for the season.

Work Style: Houndstooth

I have been attracted to the houndstooth pattern most especially in black and white color combination.  Here's me wearing almost head-to-toe houndstooth to work.

houndstooth collared sleeveless top - gifted by my sister / garterized semi-harem pants - G. Main / espadrille shoes - G. Capital SRP  / kimono cropped jacket - Mote / sunglasses - G. Country Mall

Going Bananas and Stripes

I love wearing colorful, printed dresses which reminds me of summer.  The BANANA prints impart that tropical vibes.  But I what I love doing more is wearing these dresses with my trusted black leg warmers underneath.  

Here's me on one of my favorite go-to outfit, out and about the metro doing some errands and some trifling dates in between.

What I Wore:

dress -HM.Luscious / black leggings - G. Fiesta Mall / fuchsia flats - MNG / bag - Kate Spade / sunglasses - G. Country Mall / bracelets - SM Kids Accessories / earrings - gifted by my sister's friend

Another love of mine is discovering new fashion brands.  The dress I am wearing is one creation by HM.LUSCIOUS.  I love the perfect mix of femininity and quirkiness in their designs and that generous selection of saturated hues is a bonus.
