Shorts but make it Formal!

 


My wardrobe is filled with shorts, if you live in the Philippines or in any tropical country in general, you’ll understand why!

Thankfully, brands like Love, Bonito are making shorts that can pass up with more than a casual vibe.  I got this unique green colored shirt in Leatherette format from Love, Bonito x Coleen collection.  It is probably not available anymore but you can always check their site for some nice comfy shorts that can double up as meeting shorts.

Paired with a dressy white polo top!  I was quite surprised I have a pair of shoes that is the exact same color as my shorts!


I attended an event with this look and I was so comfortable with this I plan to use this shorts again pairing it to maybe with a different top?


Any top suggestions, AMW Friends?

White and Pink Will always be Classy!

 

I love the color combination of Blush pink and White in fashion.  I felt so girlie and youthful.  Whenever I wear such combo, I always get complimented on how fresh I look even if I pair this with a pink a blazer under a 40Degrees Celsius weather!  

Top: Love Bonito
Skort: From Metro Store



I love the square-neck  top showing more skin thus making me look slimmer.


To complete this dainty look, I like to do beach waves curl for my hair.




How do you like this look?

FASHION: Giordano Oxford Shirt Style

 Who remembers Giordano in the 90's?  I mean every single cool kid has at least a Giordano piece whether T-Shirts, Polo Shirts or in my case, the Long-Sleeves Oxford Shirt.  

You know why I have it?  I borrow from my brother!!! 

Looking back, I just wore it one way, tucked in a Levi's Jeans and a Nike shoes because I felt so cool like that.

Fast forward to many decades after, I still feel like a cool-kid wearing this Oxford shirt but this time, styling it differently because we aren't into fast fashion nowadays, I want clothing pieces that I can wear multiple times!

I also like to mix pieces that are on a pricier side and affordable ones.  I am literally wearing a less than Php400 worth of White Tube Romper and I layered it with a less than Php200 mustard top adding a belt in between to make it look more formal and put together.

Added the Giordano Long Sleeve Oxford Shirt as my cover up and it works so well and I felt so good!

Work to Workout Look

 

With everything opening up, restaurants, schools, and a lot more!  I am so lucky with meetings that are still done online.  I mean let's set COVID aside for a moment, I still don't want to go out because of Traffic!  I mean if things can be done online, why not?  I am so happy and thankful some companies feel the same.

That said, I already mastered my Work-From-Home game!  If there's a game!  My schedule is crazier and busier!  With Kyle's classes back in full blast and he is now in Grade 4, the exams and homeworks are CRAZY!!!!  Aside from the cooking mama job, I had to tutori him at the same time with my PR work and blogging work back in full blast, yes, I don't know how I can still manage it.  But so far, still good.  I just have to do a lot of changes in both schedule and the way I prepare myself.

Makeup - CHECK!

Outfit - CHECK!  for both Client meetings straight to working out!


If there's one outfit piece that I happily invest on, these are oversized Blazers!  I got this as a set and I always mix and match key pieces with my other outfit.  Just like this one!

An oversize formal blazer with a black top and ..... cycling shorts! :P


The top I picked can pass up as something a bit formal (ribbon and pleats and all! I am actually wearing a black sports bra underneath so you know the drill!  Straight to working out after meeting or in between meetings!  My meetings aren't usually packed closed to each other, there were waiting time approximatey 45 minutes to 1 hour --- so that means, I can do some weight lifting in between --- no cardio because that would ruin my hair! :P


As for makeup, I maintain light and natural-looking makeup.


How do you like this multi-tasking look?

A White Tee and Cargo Pants

 

I used to shy away from white top!  Not only because they get dirtied easily, but I have a bit of body issues - we all do!  But I have broad shoulders and big arms, wearing light colored tops would enhance those features.

Today, I am not wearing this top just because I felt I am very sexy :P  I wish I could say that some day, but I am more comfortable to wear white top with the right pairing - and of course, pick the right size of clothin.

A White Tee and Cargo Pants

I recently bought this super comfy cargo pants in Beige color and TBH, it is so hard to pair this color - so the easiest and safest way would be a white plain top I got from Uniqlo PH.  

A White Tee and Cargo Pants

On casual days, I just wear this with slippers or rubber shoes.  If I ended up wearing this for a meeting, I'd go for accessorizing with a nice necklace, earrings and wear a simple nude pumps!  It'll work right?

Busy Mom-Friendly FOTD and OOTD

 

When you shop online for current fashion trends.  You see a lot of cute cropped tops!  I find these inexpensive yet easy to match with whatever you have in the closet.  More importantly, aside from less than Php100 price points, you get a whole lot of colors to choose from!  Here's a cute top I got from Shopee recently for only Php88.00!

Shop Sachi String Cotton Woven Self Tie Tube Garter Daily Top.

Busy Mom-Friendly FOTD and OOTD

When you wear such top and you are not confident showing your tummy, make sure to wear high waist pants like my maroon flowy pants that I own for many years!  

I also pair this cute top with a nice keepsake from Sacred Elements Jewellery.

Busy Mom-Friendly FOTD and OOTD

It was well paired with a similar earrings that I got with the necklace!  This meant so much to me because Kyle was the one who picked the color combination and design!

Weekend OOTD: Blue Cropped Top

 

I used to be so cared with any outfit with a word that says "CROP".

No  matter how much I workout, my non-existent abs stays hidden for as long as I remember.  But that doesn't mean I can't dress cute and be like a Gen Z right? :P

Thankful for high-waist pants because I get to wear this cute Blue Crop Top which I got via Shopee!  Guess what?  I bought this cute top for only Php96.00!  You can purchase HERE and they have many color choices!  

Blue Cropped Top OOTD for moms and girls on the go

Out of all their crop tops!  This is my favorite!  I like pairing this with my Uniqlo high waist pants and wear a simple necklace from Sacred Elements Jewellery.

Blazer On and Off OOTD

 

Hello AMW Friends!
I am still working from home with various ZOOM calls and interviews with clients for HR jobs.  Yes, if you don't know, I am still on the HR field!  But I'll keep that a secret as my job is somewhat like CSI :P  #JustJoking 

So because the heat is going crazy and wearing a blazer is still important to some culture like that from Japan and Hong Kong.  I've invested on my favorite pastel colored coordinates (they are actually NOT coordinates as I bought them separately!)  Thankful for the similar shades I was able to call this a coords!


Blazer: From Hong Kong, Shorts: Zalora, Inner Tank Top: Forever 21


And because of the heat, I can easily remove the blazer while waiting for my next schedule and do mom tasks like tutor and cooking!  I make sure to wear my apron thought OR ELSE :P

How do you like this look?
Would you wear this too?

OOTD: Bluer Than Blue

 

I've got this top from my favorite store at Lazada called Vero Moda.  I have been a fan of this online store because I have physically visit this store when I worked in China years back so I am confident with the quality of their dresses, tops or bottoms.

This "vaccine" top that I jokingly call is one of my favorite because it is comfortable enough to move around the house to do my mom-chores at the same time, I can easily log in to m Zoom meetings and work-related interviews without the need to change my top!



2-in-1 right?  And I also got the black shorts from the same store!


You have to make sure to purchase at least a size or 2 bigger than usual American sizing.  Their sizes are too small and I mostly go for Medium for loose tops while Large for shorts and pants!  

You'll get the hang of it!  You just need to put those designs that you want and wait for sales and promotions!

That's it for now!  I hope you like my simple outfit that I like to wear when I need to do multiple tasks!

Breezey Summer OOTD

 

I love breeze-y outfit.  Styles that moves with my body, nothing constricted, nothing complicated.  Well, this outfit was almost a complicated one (originally an off shoulder) but I opt to wear it like this because I can drive, walk the dog, go up and down the car to pick up food and groceries for my parents with no issue.

I pair this Blue Ruffled Off Shoulder top with a Korean Shorts!  Shorts not too long or short, just right for the summer!  

Wearing a high ponytail is perfect for the look and a natural-looking makeup!  What do you think?



I also enjoyed using my Ilwoul mask because it fits my face perfectly.

MomStyle: Black or White?

 

I can’t count the number of black, and white outfit I have inside my dresser!  I love clothes by the way!  As a Beauty Blogger, you would think I only collect skincare products and makeup products.  Well, this woman has a lot of likes *ahem*  I honestly love clothes and I have good imagination because I have been shopping online for clothes for YEARS!  And can you believe when I say it’s 0.1% returns?  

I almost never get to return the clothes I bought because they, most of the time, fits, and works for me!  I have this mala-computer brain and I can immediately imagine the clothes worn by me!  Do you have that same talent?

Yes, I call that talent!  Thank you Lord!  :P

These 2 dresses are old dresses I bought via Zalora #NOTsponsored .  I’ve worn both of these on special occasions, the black one during one of my important makeup workshop in a hotel while the white one was during a Cathy Doll anniversary held in Bangkok Thailand.  That dress met Mario Maurer by the way!  *winks* 

This dress is surprisingly very comfortable to wear!  I think that year, the irregular-shaped and overlapping skirt is a thing!  I saw Jennifer Lopez wore a similar dress and I am NOT saying she got inspired by me!  LOL  But it is so good to think so! Hahaha Bear with me!


This lacey black LBD dress is such a comfortable dress to wear!  It is simple yet classy.  I like the A-line skirt giving me the waist I never had!  :P


By the way, this transition - nobody asked for!  But I enjoyed doing this,  it is not professional yet I poured my heart into this!  Enjoy! 





Time to vote!  Are you team Black or White?

Mom Style on Weekends

 


I am most excited when I get to visit my parents on the weekend.  My life was a blur from Mondays to Fridays so having this break is a nice way to fix my focus and fill up my happiness jar.

It used to be me, my husband and Kyle who visits my parents but because of the pandemic, we tried to keep Kyle not away from exposure since a lot of the members in my parents’ household goes out for work.  



That said, I made sure to mask up, the whole time inside the house to protect me and my family!


Wearing masks does not stop me from fixing my brows and apply my favorite lipbalm for this very natural look.  How do you like this?



So anyways, the pandemic will not stop me from visiting my loved ones!  I just pray this will soon be over so we can bond more outside!

Top: Vero Moda 
Shorts: From Hong Kong
Mask: Ilwoul Philippines


What’s your OOTD of choice on weekends?

Work From Home OOTD and FOTD

 

I had a super fruitful and busy February.  

Aside from it being my birthday month, I had a couple of important work I was lucky enough to do at the comforts of my home.

A series of makeup training videos I needed to do for companies who trusted my service and I was able to finish the task before deadline.  That said, even working from home, I had to make sure to dress up and look good on videos!  I mean….looking good and preparing yourself in front of the camera is definitely one form of respect.

So anyways, the weather was still cool at that time so I’ve decided to wear a crisp white long-sleeved shirt with an outer cropped top to make myself look put-together.  I actually bought this outfit set online at Lazada for an affordable price and quality is super good.


I also did a simple yet defined makeup look.  I already did a couple of swatches for my makeup video thus you see a couple of lipstick swatches at the back of my hand.


How do you like my look?
Would you wear both the outfit and makeup look for work?

Happy Friyay!
