Shadow Play by the Voluptuous Vixen

First of all, I would like to greet everyone a very Merry Christmas! 

Excuse my silence for I have been trying to savor the momentary feel of the Christmas season. It has been a very busy December so I allowed myself to grab the opportunity - in this seemingly short vacay - to sink into the depth of my bed, my fluffy pillows, and cuddle under the arms of my husband while I try to shut my "brain-on-work" off and inject myself with some Christmas cheer and attempt to seek clarity for this long-year cluelessness (sort of). 

I have a LOT of blog posts still pending and few vlog "Kitchen Diaries" episodes to edit but  till I get to that, here's an outfit post. My segue is disjointed, I know... *hahaha* but I can't seem to find the right connect with all the thoughts flooding my head right now. 

ANYWAY, I really didn't plan for an outfit shoot yesterday because I was in one of my very casual moments to greet Christmas but a quaint ray of light in our parking lot simply lured me into one artsy photography session. Thank God I did it because the outcome of the photos (with some creative editing) were breathtaking. I'm still kilig to the bones when I look at the photos. Take a look.

Finding the light

What was clear to me was that, I have turned into one voluptuous vixen with all the weight I have gained over a few months because of my thyroid problem. Nevertheless, although I prefer the skinny me, I love my body and I embrace my sexy voluptuousity, if there's even such a word. *lol*

Polkadots

Had dinner at MoMo Cafe in Ayala Triangle Gardens last night with my hubby to celebrate our nine years of being together. Can you believe it? 9 years since College? I guess time really flies when you're having fun...

Anyway, to dress up for the occasion, I wore a red polkadot button-down blouse I bought from Alter/Ego by Bea Benedicto. I'm not usually a fan of color red but it just looked so dainty that tickled the girly-girl in me. 

To put a classic twist to my outfit, I paired my red polkadot top with a black skirt, originally a midi, which I temporarily turned into a bubble/high-low skirt by sewing the front hem of the skirt up to the waistband tucked inside the skirt and secured with a belt. Genius, right??? 

The drop off area at the Makati Stock Exchange is such a nice location for an outfit shoot. Though I would have preferred a day shoot, these night shots are actually quite impressive as well.

Mixed and matched bangles and bracelet with pearls
to match my polkadot outfit

Where's the light?

I think I have found my signature pose. The "pop the knee" pose. It works naman diba? I like how it make my legs look slimmer than they really are. Don't you agree?

Flower Power

No, I'm not going hippie nor am I swathe with an overly flowery attire for this post.

I am just blessed with good vibes and luck lately, though I did face few hurdles along the way, that I wanted to end the week in a light and flowery mood.

Just to share so you can relate to what I'm so eagerly happy about. I...

1. Got responses to very important emails hence, set very important meetings.

2. Hit 4 numbers of the 6/55 Grand Lotto. First win ever! P2,000 prize! woohooooo...

3. Got booked for a modeling job. Finally.... 

4. Other projects in full gear.

My husband says it's the "Law of Attraction" - that if you think you're lucky then luck will come to you. A good principle to live by don't you think? 

Well, with these all happening one after another, I can say that I had a pretty good week. 

I'm just so happy that I didn't even mind the cloudy skies when I wore this light, not so rain-friendly outfit last Friday. (To be honest, I had no idea that it was raining till we were already on our way to the car to go to work. haha... no time to back out)

It was actually still drizzling when we took these photos so we had to rush a bit.

Top: The Landmark (P249.75)
Jeggings: Mango (Sale at P995)
Nude Pumps: Charles & Keith (P2,199)

I know that you've already seen me in the same jeggings and in the same sexy nude pumps but I can't help it when they're just too comfy and fab to wear over and over again. Hey, I did mention that I always max out the life of my clothes and shoes for a good ROI (Return on Investment). Besides, my nude pumps haven't totally passed the break in period so, I am compelled to wear them as much as possible. 

See how happy I am?

Emo Effect

You know those days when you just want to wear black and be a bit emo for no particular reason? Well, I had one of those days today. I wasn't in the mood to really play with colors so I kept it safe with an all black comfy-casual Friday ensemble.

Also, to add to the emo effect, I edited my photos as such.

Jeans: Forever 21 (SGD19 or approx. P630)

With my alter ego creeping in, I just had to put a 
pop of color with a humongous fish cocktail ring 
matched with a stack of bangles.
Ring: Welmanson, Quiapo (est. P90)

China Doll

Overwhelmed by the COTTON ON news, I just had to wear something from Cotton On today. So, with China Doll look as peg, I wore my pale orange chiffon button-down dress from Cotton On paired with a black midi skirt. (Half of the dress is just hidden under the skirt)

Top/ Dress: COTTON ON Singapore (Sale at SGD10 or approx. P340)
Midi Skirt: Blanc Noir form SM Department Store (Sale at P350)
Black Peep-toed Pumps: Charles & Keith (P1,999)

I would have layered my necklace over a bigger chunk
to give my outfit more texture but I just don't have one yet
so, I just went for my usual minimal accessories. 

To finish off my look, I pulled my hair into a bun.

Lips: Perfect Bare 09 lipstick from Elizabeth Arden

Eyes: Maybelline Cosmetics

Dark Shades

Among my blog posts, my fashion blog attempt: Sparrow has received the highest page views so far. So, I guess people are interested in what I'm wearing (???)--- which adds to the pressure of "What to wear next?!!!?" 

Last 08.15.12, I attended the special screening of The Expendables 2 sponsored by LBC at the Powerplant Mall, Rockwell. 

Since I'll be coming from the office and I wanted to wear something comfy and a lil more formal than my usual get-up, I decided to wear a dress, stick to darker shades and wear minimal accessories.

 Dress: Tango (Bought 50% off at P799)

Belt: Forever 21 (came free with another dress I bought at 50% off)

Knitted Sweater: from the Landmark (P450)

Black Peep-toed pumps: Charles & Keith (P1,999)

Parang nagkakamot lang ng ulo. #LOL

Bag: Liz Claiborne (Borrowed from Mom she got as a gift)

Bangles: (est. P100 - P150) for reselling soon.

Cocktail Ring: (est. P80 - P100) for reselling soon.

Sparrow: An attempt in Fashion Blogging

I don't really consider myself as a fashionista- though I try...- but I do LOVE Fashion. 

I took short courses on Basic Fashion Design, Pattern making and Sewing three years ago at the Fashion Institute of the Philippines. I was not able to complete the whole program, specifically pattern making and sewing,  but I do have plans of going back within the year and hopefully graduate by 2013. *cross-fingers*

When it comes to shopping, one thing about me is that I'm a very koripot shopper. I will only spend for items that I can really really use, max out its existence till the point of its retirement, and my fave price tags are the ones below P500.

With my shopaholic radar, I have spider sense on upcoming Sales, where the Clearance Outlets are, Bazaars and Ukay-Ukays too! Hopefully, I can share with you more about those in my succeeding posts. 

So, enough with the chatter, here's my first post in creating my look collection for the Clueless Mrs.

A casual-chic ensemble for the office.

Knitted Top: Forever 21 (Bought 70% off at P382.50)
