classic but not romantic

If I become a housewife, that’s how I want my kitchen to look like. I’m referring to the first photo. Last Friday, I went out for some dinner and coffee with my best bud who’s also responsible for my outfit shots. I brought him to Simply J’s and I’m giving him a shout out since he’s been patient in keeping up with me by taking photos of my narcissistic self.

The clothes I'm wearing are all thrifted vintage. The entire look excluding the shoes cost me less than $5 or 200php. I love the material of this skirt, it made me feel like a ballerina because of the tulle. No matter what the length of my skirt is, people still stare at me. Where I live, people are not so used to seeing girls like me who dress up. They sometimes give you the kind of stare that makes you feel like you’re too over-dressed or something but what the hell. I need to blog! Or maybe I just assumed too much but it's still rude to stare, yeah know.  But still, what the hell. :D

Have a happy weekend everyone! I'm off to my friends baby shower now. Thanks for the comments. :)

I lean more to minimalist designs! so not my cup of tea.. being a housewife? nah, don't think so.

THE SKIRT IS LOVE! and yes, the prob here in the Phils. is people are not as fashion forward as other Asian countries are. They think fashion is for the rich and famous and when they see normal people getting dressed up on a regular day with 'weird (to them) ensemble, THEY SHAMELESSLY STARE AT YOU like you have committed a capital crime. BUT WHAT THE HECK, F U, I FEEL GOOD LOOKING GOOD AND FASHIONABLE! right? right?

Oh my gosh I love the bow ring!!

Joey said...

I love, LOVE your rings! Esp that one with the blue stone! That is a very pretty skirt, what a great find.

Bah, I think it's very rude to stare. Back in Malaysia, if I were to wear the things I wore now, I'm sure I'd get lots of stares. But really, who cares, eyh? :) Even here in the UK, I'm always slightly overdressed even for a simple meal at a restaurant.

This outfit is pure loveliness! It is so adorable. I really love that shirt and the flowing black skirt goes perfectly with it! I definitely get a ballerina vibe from that skirt.

And I think people were staring at you because you are a pretty girl in a pretty outfit. ;)

Seriously, you find the best vintage ever. Can I come visit and go thrifting with you? And borrow this skirt? I love it!!!! hehehehe

dotie said...

i've experienced my fair shares of stares as well...
just think of it this way, if you see them staring then take it as a sign that you must be doing something right :)
