The title says it all and trying something new can really be interesting. *winks* And to get things straight, definitely not your typical lookbook girl or rich kid fashion blogger here. Entiendo? ^o^ 

Growing up, insecurities also roll down my sleeve but it's just a matter of how to deal. At twenty-one, left with no choice but to embrace the midget in me. Being vertically challenged, it's always hard for me to pick clothes that would fit me perfectly like I still have to have my pair of jeans cut all the time because it's too long for me. With all means in the name of fashion and comfort, it can be tedious as it seem but you have to learn what works best for you.

Here's what I wore on our Honoring and Oath Taking Ceremony. Since I was able to guess that everyone's going to wear skimpy dresses, I chose to be wrapped up to be different, or secretly, to stand out. I never thought I'd be able to work with the long skirt. Reason stated above. Thus, I will forever profess my gratitude for the genius who created heels! It's my best cheating device. Not only to look taller, create good posture, but also boost a woman's confidence-o-meter. I chose the corset, a very timeless apparel, because it exudes class and sexiness. Trend now is that inner wears are used as outer wears. And to add some taste of formality (since I'm a proud professional now!), a blazer or career jacket is all you need. Make-up and accessories are kept clean and simple because that's how I roll.

Photos are all in a mess. (Look at that awful parking lot as background and me carrying the slr, haha so not ready!) We had an unplanned fun shoot, a byproduct of our boredom and vanity. Sorry, there are no detailed shots. Will do better next time if I'm moved to do another post like this. Convince me! Mehehe.


Fashion for me, is a way of expressing oneself. Need not to be trendy all the time. It's someone's personal book cover. It's one way of how you want to be read by the world. Better not judge someone with his/her style because each one's unique and has a story to tell. My own sense of style? Can't find the exact words to describe it, exclude me from such labels. It basically runs down on my mood. Just on the conservative side since I follow such standards of dressing based from my religious belief. The only times I reveal more flesh is when I'm at home or at the beach. Additional tips: Be yourself. Smile. And just the right dose of confidence works well all the time. To end this, fashion all goes down to one thing, it's your own style, your story, and the world has nothing to do with it. :)
