Black and Blue

Before I start with the run down, I am begging you this early on to try your utmost best to ignore my size. Yes, thank you, thank you. Aside from over-using my weight gain as an excuse to slack on my blogger duties, I've been plainly unhappy with work lately. Simply put, stress makes you ultimately lazy. It’s unlikely that my boss would waste his time and read my posts but I know that this is not the proper venue to vent and I’d rather be safe than sorry. Sigh.






No doubt all of us have heard a lot of the “how to’s” about day to night dressing. And heads up ya’ll, this is one of them boring tips, but, with a twist! A boring twist. Haha! What I mean is that normal people who do normal things are those who would go to dinner or a movie or a night out with friends after office hours. For us graveyard zombies, a.k.a. call center agents here in the PI, we often go to “inuman” on broad daylight. Well, gone are those days for me, that was the routine during my first 2 years working in a BPO company. Now, I only drink coffee with friends, like a lot, which happens before my shift starts just like today. I met up with my friend Nadine (who took the pictures), I needed to play my role as the girlfriend who will stick by her side on a momentous day of her life, moral support that is, because she was having her long hair chopped. Surprisingly, we both survived the challenge without shedding tears. I’m so proud of us ladies! (you may roll your eyes now)



Back to the outfit, this is basically a no-brainer. It’s not a must but what I did is I stick with same color blocking which is black and blue. Using a peplum top as the main staple, I switched from my sandals to my sky highs and from my short shorts to my Korina Sanchez inspired pencil skirt. In a snap, I transformed from a comfortable on the go get up to business attire sleek look. Ta-dah! 



In my age, coffee with previous co-workers, old classmates, ex-boyfriend, whowhatnots, is the way to catch up and so I have mastered the art of switching from one outfit to another hassle-free. I am a commuter and you might wonder, I do leave my shoes in my pedestal at work so yes, I travel in flats. OK that’s it, back to work busy bees!
