Its that time of the year where i start (or try) to wear spring/summer clothes to get into that warm weather mindset. Every time i go vintage shopping, I like to make smart decisions and get things I would wear over and over again- so i got an oversized plaid Burberry inspired print, coz one can never have too much plaids. Plus, i can actually wear this as corporate attire or just pair it with baggy jeans. Button down shirts are essentially my go-to for key pieces that would last for a long time.

I hate the heat, despite me being born on summer. Sometimes i just go out and wear a short shorts. Sometimes, they think im wearing no shorts at all hahahah

This is how i dress when its raining and im lazy (which is 80% of the time). Its been very gloomy lately and the heavy rain have caused little floods and puddles (literally) everywhere in the city. As much as i love rain and the cold weather it brings, I cant stand having my shoes wet. People close to me knows this haha. I guess that's the disadvantage of investing on pricey sneakers, you cant afford to wear it on rainy days. And because i live in a third world country, the internet is EXTRA slow when it rains. That's another millennial problem that i don't wanna discuss. As always, gonna leave you with another outfit photo dump, im outta here! And guys, stay dry and throw your garbage properly. Peace ~~~

What i wore: Fake Friends cap and stripes tee; Zara trousers; Vans shoes

For those who are asking, this belt bag was made by yours truly. I made it 3 years ago for Sinulog festival. 

The cropped stripe shirt is a limited edition Fake Friends product so if you want to cop one, click this link below or you can buy them at Common Ground located at The Gallery, Mabolo cebu.

Perks of working for myself? Its being able to plan and make my own schedule. Although there's an obvious downside for that, it delays all my work and i end up cramming my way to finish my deadline... coz im an artist like that. I'm kidding. So this is one of those days wherein i decided to take photos of my outfit (even tho i wasn't really going anywhere) instead of finishing a gown for my fashion show. Dont worry guys, I finished it 8 hours before the show so it's all good.

The last 2 weekends have been so damn hectic. September has been packed with events and its overwhelming sometimes (especially for someone who gets anxious in meeting new people). Thank God I've somehow mastered the art of small talks. From fashion show and exhibit to cooking birthday dinner for bae's friends, Fake Friends anniversary event to Pop District bazaar. I'm very thankful for everything but i also need a long massage and some time to take it all in. Nawmsayin?!

Now that Im done venting out, let's talk about this outfit- because fashion blog duuuuh? You know when i say my city has bipolar weather? Its legit. I had to slip on a thin windbreaker to beat the early-morning drizzle only to find out how hot it was during lunch time. Then it rained again, but its still very humid. I insisted on wearing my windbreaker because it matched my shoes and outfit, obviously. And then of course, the trademark oversized shirt to hide my bloated tummy. 

What i wore: Bape shirt; GAP KIDS camo pants; Airmax 95 sneakers; vintage orange windbreaker

 I always had a thing for oversized sweats/pullover, boyfriend jeans and turtlenecks just because they simply allow you to move around all day, whatever you’ve planned. And for a girl who lives in a tropical country, I have an awful lot of jackets and coverup collection. I cant help myself, I love layering so much. Guess I could say I’m more of a winter child in spite of living in a country that only knows 'too sunny for layers' and 'too rainy for shoe game' weather. Well, its getting pretty windy and rainy lately so more reason to showcase my winter collection lol. Casually layered my staple black sweaters with a touch of red and the mere fact that I can simply change my entire look by pulling off a layer or two makes it even more fun to play with.

Wore this super comfy Xlarge crew neck pullover and styled it with a separate red turtle neck because wearing this as it is was boring. Sometimes wearing clothes in the same color over and over again can get boring to some people but not when you got styles and tricks up on your sleeve. To be honest, all those branded pieces that you own is flat out boring when you have no sense of style at all. Its just like wearing the clothes straight out of a store's mannequin. There's nothing wrong with that but finding your own personal style can really take you places.

"X-Large was the first street brand to use a gorilla or monkey as a logo even before 'A Bathing Ape in Lukewarm Water'..." Ever since I laid my eyes on this brand, I knew it was something that fits my taste. Although Xlarge was founded in LA back in 1991, it was more inspired by Japanese culture and we all know Japanese brands have the best quality products. XLarge, Neighborhood, BAPE, Supreme, Yohji Yamamoto just to name a few of my faves that gained popularity in Jpn. On a side note, I believe everyone should know the brands they are wearing. Just because its an 'in' thing or its famous for now doesn't mean you have to hop in the bandwagon. Only very few people from my place actually recognized this brand and I don't mind one bit. As long as it suits my preference and personal branding, I will represent it. ;)

I look a lot like my mom here!

What I wore: XLarge pullover; Forever 21 hat; Tomboy jeans; Adidas Superstar shoes

Of course I paired it with some cozy sneakers from Adidas for a daily look. My all time favorite beaters when it starts raining. I love how all the pieces add up to this subtle, undone look to my outfit. Just the right amount of color added to make your normal pullover/sweater look different. 

All smiles when my friend decided to sell this pullover to me. Addition to my growing Xlarge collection!

Am I the only one who thinks 2016 came by so fast?! We're down to four months til 2017, dangg. Thanks for dropping by guys! Leave comments and let's keep in touch!

*Shout out to Zach for this Xlarge pullover! After convincing him that I adore this brand more than he does, he finally gave in and sold it to me haha.
