THE CHALLENGE OF DRESSING-UP

I know dressing-up and fashion should not be taken seriously, coz it should be something that comes-out naturally..something you should enjoy. But not all the time you can enjoy dressing-up and wake-up one morning you feel like wearing a tutu skirt and a magenta tights, because you have to consider where you are going, and how to get to your destination. With a fashion blogger like me, who owns a coin purse to pay public transpo and not a car to go to my destination, thinks dressing-up sometimes is actually challenging (in a good way). I feel like I have grown to become a smart and comfy dresser most of the times, and not just be dolled-up as I want to. It's not that I always consider what other people will tell me with what I am wearing, but it's just that, I wanted to be practical. 

Imagine riding a jeepney with a sky-high heels, and a sheer top? No matter how I wanted to ignore people's stares, they just can't resist coz you are too attention-getting. Yes I love attention, but please on the right place and on the right time. And because I am a fashionista commuter ( just like Ana of the Fashionista Commuter), you need to tame a bit your outfit to make it more pang-jeep, o pang-bus, o pang-tricycle, or pang- lrt/mrt. Then just bring with you your pang-event outfit and heels then head to cr first to change and retouch before heading to the event. Life of a fashionista commuter is just that challenging and most of the times for me, adventurous haha!

the top is for sale on my 32nd collection!!!:)

Sometimes I tell myself, if I go get a car, I would totally dress-up like Lady Gaga and won't mind any comments from someone. Anyway, I have a quick escape if I feel I am too embarrassed while walking inside Trinoma. Well I cannot do that if I just commute. But then inspite of what I don't have, and what I only have, I feel so contented and happy working-out the things I have in my hands. I become more resourceful and smart when dressing-up. I guess I can now little by little decipher what really my style is. And I hope I can inspire other fashionista commuters too!

Well thinking aside, I can still dress-up totally weird once in a while...even just inside my room. haha!

SCHOOL OF THOUGHTS

Hey guys how have you been doing lately? Well me I am busy with my work plus my upcoming collection. And because I love all the items I will be selling, let me show you another piece again from my 32nd collection. It's an over-sized off white light sweater and I styled it so school-ish which is I love! Do you love it too? What do you think?You can buy it on my 32nd collection so watch-out for it! :)

On a side note, I was browsing through chictopia and saw a lot of pretty outfit photos which made me feel so envious of em. I mean I cannot do outdoor outfit shoots most of the time because I do not have a fancy house with a fancy garden and neither do I live in a viillage where you can set-up tripod and pose and pretend like nobody is watching. I cannot do that as of the moment. My house is stuck near the crossing and a lot of people are passing-by infront ofour house. Yes we have a garage but it's too wide-open and visible to passers-by. I cannot set-up my tripod and do my poses there even though I always kept saying to myself, "'walang pakilamanan" but you just can't coz not all people are kind enough to just leave you alone and do your thing right?

I mean a lot of people, pag may nakitang kakaiba, it's either they laugh or they whisper on the ears of their buddy, or worst? They drop ill-funny words just to satisfy them. I mean you get it right? It's surprising for other people (who are not fond of dressing) to see a lady in dress, with tights, killer heels, and turban on the forehead setting-up a tripod and doing such poses right? They maybe thinking I am losing my mind. ugh! Hubby cannot be my photographer for my everyday outfit shoots since he's busy with business and I do not want to bother him and be obligated. My mom on the other hand, does not know how to operate a dslr. So I have to be resourceful... DIY photo studio. 

And I am thankful it turned out great. But nothing beats the outdoor scenery as your background right? That's why I asked hubby if we could go outdoor shoots atleast  twice or thrice a month. Well, I am not giving-up on taking a good outfit photo on our garage, if I did do it, that means success to me! haha! I'll try to do it later, and we'll see. 

As of the moment I just enjoy my indoor photos, it's not that bad I guess. I hope you still like 'em! :)

PS: Have you ever experienced what I have gone through? Just wondering if there are other fashion bloggers too, who feels the same way. Natatawa na lang ako sa pagkarandom ng post na toh haha!
