Since I’m still on a sartorial high, I’m gonna cut the chase and move on straight to story-telling! This is what I wore that day; Of course I need to be presentable! Me and my bebe gurl Nadine had a hard time the night before exchanging pegs and sreenshots thru Viber on what to wear. Come on! I’m pretty sure you girlfriends do that too! Finally, we decided on a blazer to be the main staple of our get up which is just what the event requires. A piece of clothing that will not only make you smarter looking in an instant but most importantly, decent enough not to look like an obvious fanatic on a prowl. I decided to pair mine with shorts and Nadz went on with a skirt. We also wanted to be comfortable since its going to be a long travel from my place to the venue and we didn’t want to grab attention inside the MRT. If you haven’t noticed already, I’m all about black and floral. That’s the most prominent scene inside my wardrobe. So there, armed with stilettos and books inside our bags, off we go to MOA with gushing smiles plastered on our faces.
I couldn’t contain my happiness when I finally met one of my girl crush bloggers Tricia Gosingtian last Sunday. I learned my lesson the last time and made sure that I attend the last leg of her book signing for her 150 Style Essentials for Every Girl book. (Congratulations!) She didn’t fall short of my expectation, she made my heart melt. Tricia Will Go Places was the very first fashion blog that I randomly came across with at one time while violating the internet browsing rules in the office 3 years ago. (Hi Boss, sorry ‘bout that :’) I instantly fell in love with her polished style and it was when I began following blogs and found out about the other bloggers too. It was through them that I learned not to be scared for putting extra effort into looking pretty and becoming. Her book is a perfect reference especially for people like me who finds great joy in experimenting with fashion. It may not make sense and silly for some but bloggers had transformed me into a better version of myself these past few years. I have always love dressing up even before but it was them who paved the way for me to express my style with confidence. At some point it holds me back whenever I get the “looks” if I’m being bold with my fashion but it turned out that I actually inspire other girls too. It’s heartwarming to get messages once in a while saying they look up to me for inspiration and that’s also the reason why I started to blog. While juggling the demands of my work and personal life, I felt the need to show by example that a hectic schedule is not an excuse and a hindrance to look good. Take time for yourself. Remember that looking good and feeling good go hand in hand. I’m no expert but I aim to spread the love for fashion like other bloggers do in my own little way.
