The Look For Less: Series 2: Super Sale - Branded and Thrifted

I love clothing, but I love them more when they are very much affordable to the pocket.

My wardrobe consists of branded and unbranded clothing which are either bought on regular price or on sale.  And I also never miss appreciating the vintage/thrifted ones.  I often mix and match my non-thrifted (branded or unbranded) clothing with thrifted (branded or unbranded) fashion items and at times I can go head-to-toe thrifted.

I have previously created a series which I called: THE LOOK FOR LESS, see series 1 HERE.  It is obvious that the series talks about my personal styling which involves outfit/s that costs definitely inexpensive.  In this second series, I am sharing the fashion pieces that I bought from a thrift store and from boutiques of known brands which were having super sale promotions and showing to you how I styled these pieces altogether.

How to achieve a look for less?

Series 2:

SUPER SALE - BRANDED & THRIFTED

Never miss a super sale of known brands of clothing and accessories and try to buy and wear something thrifted too.

This is a color-coordinated outfit wherein my look camouflaged with my background curtain.  The two-tone long sleeve top with faux fur and faux leather edgings intentionally matched with my leggings.  

The (1) top was thrifted at uber low price at Php 10.00 and the (2) leggings were also purchased on super discount sale price from Terranova in SM City Cebu which I bought at Php 199.00. And another item on this look that was also bought on super sale is the pear-shaped hoop (3) accessory earrings from H&M at the Villagio Mall in Doha, imagine I bought it at 2 QAR = Php 28.00!

What I Wore:

silk long sleeve top - thrifted

leggings - Terranova (on sale)

oversized accessory earrings - H&M (on super sale)

sunglasses - G. Country Mall Department Store

Live in style, every day!

Winter Vacation: Day 1 - Macau

I have my very first winter vacation in Hong Kong and Macau together with the family.  It was the vacation that I have always wanted.  It was winter there, though zero snow, but so I have to don my winter outfits, and that made the trip more exciting.

Day 1 - MACAU

We were lucky enough to board the 12 noon trip via the Turbojet at the China Ferry Terminal in Hong Kong.  We arrived in Macau an hour after.  Prior  to our trip, my sister and I did some research on how to get to the major tourist attractions of Macau. Travel bloggers recommended to take free shuttle bus ride of Grand Lisboa Casino-Hotel since we planned to set foot first on The Ruins of St. Paul Cathedral.  The shuttle buses are parked outside the ferry terminal.  We took the most comfortable seats of the bus and took advantage of sightseeing the grandeur of the casinos in Macau.

This gigantic metal structure greets the tourists when entering the city center of Macau.  Failed to do research on this though.

At the Senado Square

One of the places that Macau tourists must visit is The Ruins of St. Paul Cathedral. And we did have conquered (?) and captured (camera-lights-action!) the historical attraction.

What I Wore:

My winter outfit in Macau

teal sleeveless warmer top, black knit beaded on the neck and waistline longsleeve dress , black jacket - Chic Vintage / black boots - Linea Italia / gold belt - sigh's closet / teal beanie, teal earmuffs (gifted), magenta gloves - Terranova / red sling camera bag - Halo / black leggings - G. Metro / black oversized sling bag - Gavin

On to my outfit: If you remember, one of the aspects of my fashion advocacy is Color Coherence.  During this trip to Macau my outfit revolved on black and teal.  The gold color from the belt, the red color from the sling bag and the magenta color from the gloves have somehow broken the monotony.  I always find pleasure in a well-color-coordinated outfit.

Have you visited Macau?
