Paperdolls Dress

 

I love A-line dresses and I love it more when it comes in "battle green" or any deep green shade as this color is unique for clothes at the same time works so well on my skin tone!

When I did a shopping visit at Paperdolls x Adam & Eve store at Shangrila Mall, I was so happy I found this dress and it fits me perfectly! 

This is the Paperdolls EMERY SLEEVELESS DRESS (Php2,699.00)  which is also available in light beige.

It comes with a wide belt cinching your waist making me look like I have really good waist shape

 (but none in reality as I have quite a straight door-like body LOL)

I also like how the A-Line skirt made my waist appear smaller!

Babydoll Dresses? Are they Back?

I remember wearing almost the same dress I'm wearing in this photo 10 years ago!  It was those Kimono-dresses days and I own a lot of them!  I even use them during my pregnancy!  

During my last Bangkok trip, Raiza and I had a chance to squeeze in some quick shopping at the Platinum Mall before the Competition - yes, ganyan kami kagaling sa scheduling! :P  

While Raiza was booking looking through some contact lenses, I stood beside this stall full of cute, pastel-colored dresses!  I immediately got a checkered top and dress for my mom and sister-in-law and as I was paying, I saw a big pile of Pastel Blue, Green, Pink, Yellow polka-dot dress!  I immediately grabbed one because you all know me!  I love Polka-Dots on both my nails and dresses!

For someone with average height, it shocked me that this dress was a bit too short on me (or tumi-Tita lang ako?)  Upon wearing this dress, with the approval of Mr. AMW, this reminded me so much of Babydoll dresses back then and are they really back?

Dressing Up My Style

One thing for sure, I am NOT a fashionista.

I don't go by trend but if the trend is something I'm comfortable with (Hello Off Shoulders!)  I would wear them like no tomorrow!

My style has always been girly, frilly and all-things sweet and nice.  Even my close friends and family can tell: "That's  a Nikki-Outfit!"  

A Nikki-Outfit will always be loose, does not hug all the bumps and flabs instead, it covers and makes me feel like I can even join you in a buffet table! 

But that does not stop me from looking made-up, confident and good.  Because wearing nice clothes does not need you to be in a particular shape or size....

I used to be a size 4, size 6 then size 14.  I went through my slimmest stage of 104 pounds up to the heaviest of 145lbs (I wasn't blogging back then!), I am not at my best weight at the moment but one thing I'm positive of, I keep myself healthy by eating right, walking and running as much as I could and of course, I wear that huge smile to distract people from my flaws.

Because nobody is perfect!

So for this rare instance, I'm sharing one of my favorite Nikki-Outfit post which I wore during our Facebook Live event at Eastwood Mall a couple of weeks back!  Only half of my body was shown during the FB Live session and someone messaged me and asked me where I bought my TOP so I've decided to showcase this dress in its' full glory :D  Because I'd wear this over and over again!
