Pink stripes and pigeon food.

I said I was going to make a set of experimental blog posts. So well, here's a lame excuse for what everybody knows as a... fashion blog post. Before any further ado, please refrain from expecting too much. I promise no more fashion stuff for a long long long time after this for I think I suck at it.

Now the reason why I thought I might be worthy (baw, worthy kuno) of doing anything like this was because of these common things I've seen among the fashion bloggers I've browsed through.

-Weird accessories (check)

-Old favorite pieces of clothing (check)

-Something bought abroad (check)

-Something Forever21 (check)

-Animal prints (check)

-Awkward pose (alang2x guro)
-Skinny (baw lihog lang)

-iPhone 4/4S with super cool case (check)
-Hand-me-down stuff (wait, kay mang abukay ko sa cabinet ni Lola)
-Blur2x effect of photos (may 50mm man ta ah)

-Nature2x ang background (check)

So uh, more or less I can actually probably pull off something rather presentable.. Right?

My little sister Eunice was supposed to take these photos but she was too busy rummaging through our closets looking for a particular article of clothing that I decided that our help, Manang Jane, was badass enough to do the job. Eunice and I were supposed to meet up with friends within the half hour, so I opted for the roof to get the job done real quick. The roof of the house has a coop of lovely homing pigeons and the bins you see at the back are highly likely containing their daily grub. So uh, don't mind those.

Ok so let's go through this real quick.

The moment I laid eyes on this pink and heather striped top at the Old Navy clearance last Spring, I knew I had to have it. Scored it for only $9 USD! Not only is it very light and breezy, but the flattering effect of the downward stripes and the pop of bright pink makes it darling to the eyes. Haha

Paired my top with a more toned-down combination of black jeans (Which has been in my possession since 2008, some things you just can't let go of!), and earth-colored accessories.

Manang Jane tried her best. I salute her for bearing the icky heat with me today. Since Eunice already found what she was looking for, I thought I'd just let her do the rest of the photos indoors.

My messy wind-blown hair, bow. Had my hair permed at a Korean hair salon in Iloilo City just a few weeks ago. I love it! It makes my hair look naturally curly. One thing I like about Koreans is how they do their hair. This is one rather good investment considering I'm in sophomore year in medical school thus I barely have time to fix my hair in the morning. Wala husay, wala problema ah.

As for my crystal-ish necklace, this thing caught my attention while doing one of my "window-shopping" stints at Forever21 at the Mall of America last Spring. For one thing, they look like ice cubes, perfect for summer. Uh, pink lemonade anyone?

Sorry for the leopard-skin vomit all over your screen, but I presently scream leopard prints! I think they look old-y and girly and safari-ish. I don't know if that makes any sense to you, but yeah. Bought my belt from PacSun as part of a 3-belt set on clearance for $5. My Guess purse has been with me for years now, and I still get compliments for it! You can see that and my Tory Burch leopard skin iPhone case in closer detail below.

 Nothing like a classic pair of suede wedges in nude! Makes my legs look slimmer and longer, and make my feet look bigger for that matter, as I am bestowed with size 5 1/2 feet. Illusion working?

Lately I've been more inclined towards earth-brown colors and fine details. I can pair them with almost about anything, so far. I can even wear them on their own and not look too grubby and sad.

Just before leaving the house, I decided it was just too bright to not leave the house without my favorite pair of sunglasses on. I may speak of this one in further detail in the future for I have no more time left in my hands. Hahaha. Hey, but what better accessory to wear wherever you go than a sincere smile. (Yak. Hahahaha)

And there you have it. Have to go through virology and pigmentary disorders before I sleep. I've had way too much of a break. I'll do my best not to regret all this frolicking. *Sigh* I love my chosen field more than any of this though so whatever. I had a good time. Thank God for a wee break.

Bye.

P.S. If you're a fashion blogger, don't mind me and my silly quips. I love what you guys are doing and I really can't imagine how you guys are so good at it. Keep inspiring us, the mere peasants of fashionland. Sometimes we really don't know what wear! - E
