How does it feel to work for 12-hours straight doing various hairstyles for a shoot?
I told myself I need several cups of coffee, yummy food and a super comfortable dress. And I picked this from Apple & Eve!
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!
I remember seeing my mom in her 40's in pants ALL her life until the time of writing. She is very conscious of her varicose veins and I wished she would wear more shorts and skirts because she has gorgeous legs! Perfectly shapes, very flawless --- my sister and I would always tell her that she's got the best pair of legs among us - screw varicose veins but I cannot force my super conservative mom.
Growing up with that in mind, I have told myself I'd wear more shorts, skirts and expose my legs as much as I can before I end up having varicose veins! I do have some on my feet but who cares right? I am so grateful to be born in this era where Self-Love and Confidence is the best form of love for oneself.
That is such a long intro for just an outfit post *laughs* I hope you accept my apology but #sorrynotsorry here :P I randomly picked this outfit on a cooler weather when me and my husband headed out for a lunch date. I wanted something comfortable and to protect myself when I tend to get cold inside an air-conditioned restaurant or mall and an outfit where I can easily remove my outer sweater when it gets hot.
Welcome to the Philippines - where our weather has an attitude!
I am back with my favorite OOTD combo! Blush pink and bright red!
I have this red skort from Plains & Prints for some time and it was my best purchase and most used skort as of the moment. As part of a Chinese community who uses a lot of bright reds for EVERY SINGLE Birthdays that we celebrate, I wanted to look a bit different this time for my sister's 50th birthday!
The shoes has been receiving compliments as well on my Instagram post and I am proud to say, I was able to squeeze my way to get this last pair in Dr. Kong Hong Kong!
My bag has been with me for years, it's from Anello and bought to me by my dearie Husband Mr. AMW because he knew I tend to use and abuse my daily bags and he was right! Every single scent iw worth it!
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 cannot imagine the day will come I will be wearing an AVOCADO Color!
I have been shopping A LOT online for clothing and I've found myself adding to cart various clothing pieces from different websites and they all turn out to be different shades of GREEN!
I love dressing up and I love shopping for clothes. The sheer amount of clothes you can see in my closet will give you an impression of a shopaholic. But I am not! :P (That's what I say!)
I recently just did a spring cleaning and gave away 3 garbage-bag full of clothes for donation and keeping key pieces that I can wear again and again. I used to purchase by the "fashion" and buy pieces I cannot wear after 10 years!
So if you are also like that, I am NOT judging you.
One brand I recently get to love is Love, Bonito. Their pieces are made meticulously, their designs work through the years and the styles are just .. well...my style - meaning, every single person get to find their style in a Love, Bonito store (in my case, Online store)
For Love, Bonito's 11.11 Singles Day Sale, I've picked another round of my favorite pieces that I can mix and match, wear and re-wear multiple times!
Are you ready?
Outfit 1
I recently attended an event from Love Bonito held at The Mess Hall and I wore my favorite Love Bonito Pieces.
How do you like my 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!
I may not go out as much but I try to look good and made up whenever I do go out! This is my most favorite weekend chill outfit from Uniqlo.
This romper comes with a deep pocket and it looks like I'm wearing a top and bottom separately no? I love the extra cloth that gives an illusion of tuck in and the cloth is quite heavy so it hides my flabs and tummy!
Kyle and I seldom "Twin" because TBH, this mom is LAZY :P
Working from home since Kyle was born plus doing house chores and a lot of cooking. Twinning would be the last thing I need because I am just too tired to think! :P
But since it is Kyle's summer vacation and at the age of 9 years old, he is more aware and wanted to share good memories with me, he was actually the one who decided to do this Twinning moment and I got the idea of doing the transition video for Instagram just to keep this moment forever!
I got both striped top shirts from Shopee.
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.
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!
I call this a perfect weekend outfit that's perfect to drive around and do some errands!

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?
