Love Hiatus

Okay, so I was made aware that there are real people reading my blog aside from my Mom. LOL! Few have noticed that it’s been a couple of weeks and a half or maybe more since the last time I blogged. To be honest, around the latter part of January, I did start to get a bit too excited about what my Valentines entry and outfit would look like. I even bought a pretty pink dress ahead of time (I’m not a red person so pink will do) and was glad that my photographer wannabee brother JR will be in Manila for an overnight stay. I was definitely ready for some lovin’! Or so I thought. For someone who’s in a relationship for almost a decade, I found myself at loss for words about this overrated topic called LOVE. According to Facebook, Love is complicated. (ay, status pala yun). Anyway, some say it's what makes a person complete while some say it'll just make you wait, invest, expect and then get hurt in return. Ehem, I don’t really want to go into details about my love life and I don’t want to be that obvious and sound bitter than I already am. Nah, there were sad times but definitely a handful of good ones too. Ching and I wouldn't last this long if I’m not crazy in love with him right? Right? Ahahaha. 

I do think this outfit was perfect for Valentine's though. Pretty and dainty with a hint of flirty. Not the predictable red ones that screams “OA”. If only we went out for a date on Valentine’s Day, I would have worn this. But since we didn't (tssss), I wore this at the office instead during our Valentine’s Jam event where I sang some cheesy love songs. I wish I could post the video but I’d rather not. Let’s just say that our choir director back at home once made me believe that I could sing but that was just because no one was brave enough to do the solo part. Bummer.

love love love,

Youth Coma

I can’t get over the fact that it's time to bid farewell to my twenties in the next few months. Right now, I’m just seizing the last few moments of being young and fresh while I still can. On that note, I vow to wear ultra-feminine attire, be as girly as I can, and do my utmost to conceal the obvious. Sorry but I’m not going to apologize about having a hard time undergoing a phase which I’m having a tough time absorbing. (Wailing internally!) :'(

Moving on, anybody who knows who Verniece Enciso is would agree that she’s one of the prettiest dolls in the fashion blog world. Looking as cute as her 24/7 is frustrating for average girls. Trust me, I’ve tried. I asked for a selfie with her once in a Bloggers United fair and seen side by side, I looked like a Muggle who’s not even a distant relative of Hermione. Haha! Verniece is like a princess in person and looks very expensive. We commoners can probably put into practice the sweet-pretty-young-thing peg, but where would we get those lovely outfits without robbing the bank? One thing I hate is to wear something more than the amount of money I get paid in a day. And this blog entry is a money-saving ticket to be à la Verniece, after all. As always spotted wearing her hair down (to show her big, long curls) and dainty floral dresses (preferably in pink), I managed to score this perfect ensemble for less than P500 at Farmers Market to compliment the look that I'm going for. The crop top's P200 and the skater skirt's only P250. Though this outfit would require a little boldness if you wanna show some skin. You can always cover up with a cardigan… or not, since everybody wears cutouts these days anyway. A touch of the dainty with a ribbon on your locks and you’re good to go! Oh wait, don’t forget to wear cycling shorts and nipple tape. Please. *wink

forever young,

Miss Erl ♥
