Ukay-Ukay
Ukay-Ukay not only offers a wide variety of clothes of different brands, but also from different eras.
Esguerra, 2010
Aww Ms. Geolette, I miss you big time! You are such an awesome OJT Boss
It`s been a while since I`ve ransacked shops, piles, and racks of secondhand clothing which is popularly known here in the Philippines as Ukay-Ukay [I am damn proud that I buy clothes from Ukay-Ukay, just cause, haha]. I`m too lazy to define it cause it reminds me so much of my college thesis "Ukay-Ukay in the City", which is a documentary btw.
I used to dislike Ukay-Ukay or the thought of buying secondhand clothing from absolute strangers because the person who previously wore it might have had a disease of some sort or worse, came from a dead person. But come college, a close friend of mine introduced me to the whole Ukay-Ukay craze and I was fascinated with what Ukay-Ukay stores offer that it made me give it the benefit of the doubt. From then on, I continued to shop at Ukay-Ukay. It was a bit awkward at first cause I got super addicted to it, then I met Stephanie who was, like me and Bea, a fan of Ukay-Ukay shopping; and so the cash burning continued.
I`ve purchased so much from Ukay-Ukay and saved a lot of money from shopping there. I`ve also found amazing brands such as H&M and Cotton On from different Ukay stores. Baguio Ukay will forever be the best Ukay-Ukay haven for Ukay shoppers like me. But mind you, I do not shop in Ukay cause of brand hunting [truth be told and I`m not bragging, but I can afford branded items naman, so most def not my reason], it`s actually fun to just rummage through the racks and find unique clothes, cause honestly, it`s such a hassle to see people wear the same clothing as you, but oh well, life goes on.
Maybe one day, I shall invite all my Ukay friends again and just go gaga over secondhand clothes. I will do a follow-up post on Ukay-Ukay tips. The documentary file size is just tooooo big for me to upload here or wherever.
Try it, don`t be scared, I guarantee you that you won`t be disappointed.
P.S.
Don`t forget to wash it before you wear it :p

Summer Picks
Weather in Manila is superbly as hot as my friends. Hence, what you wear on a daily basis is important. I refuse to feel sweaty and icky in the office or wherever it is that I`m off to so I wear extra comfy and airy yet stylish clothes that would counterbalance the annoying weather. Below are my favorite summer outfits [well of course all are just pegs which I downloaded from [mostly] Tumblr, or wherever]. Notice that all are really airy and comfy. Those are just simple basic clothes that I would like to pretty much wear everyday. I LLLUUURRRRVVVVEEEEE LOOSE SHIRTS AND PANTS :)

Summer Trip with Ate
In lieu of the excitement [haha], I am, as early as now, gathering pegs of things to bring for our big trip. We`ll be there for a month so I really need to be meticulous of the things that I will be bringing. I am also seriously saving my 3 months worth of salary for this trip. Dad agreed to pay for my airfare, how generous of him, but my pocket money will all come from my own..well..pocket, which is all good btw.
I just plan to bring these basic items. I`ll just buy other stuff there. I`ll add more once I`ve figured out what other stuff to bring.
Byeeee! :)

Yesterday, I wore a Pink Top and Brown Skirt which is pretty similar to this except that i wore a puffy sleeved top yesterdat, haha.

Casual Saturday
Today is Casual Saturday at work. This is what I wore today, just a crisp white shirt, some shorts, and my favorite gray plimsolls. I`m going out with my guy friends later since Bea and Steph can`t join us. I miss Rain and Vinni so freakin much so I`m super hyped to see them. As usual, we might watch a movie and eat dinner afterwards, but who knows? Gah! :] Will post pictures on Monday!

Dress for Success
Today is officially my second day at work for the year 2011. Happy New Year again.
I`ve always wore to work whatever pleases me. Sometimes, I go overboard [the negative way]. I used to REALLY wear the COMFIEST clothes which bothered my dad, my bad, haha. So, as a part of my New Year`s resolution, I will now wear the applicable outfit to work. I will, as much as possible, avoid wearing flip-flops and instead, wear closed shoes. I will also try to avoid wearing shorts because I am the only one wearing shorts in our office, and whenever I look back, I feel soo soo sooooooooooooooooo ashamed of myself. It`s disgusting that I don`t want to remember it, it`s THAT BAD.
It is important to dress appropriately so people would take you seriously and not just because I am THE BOSS` daughter. So I did a little research of office appropriate clothes that won`t be too vulgar and too boring but still look chica and simple but still be ultra mega comfy. Note to self: start wearing pants again.

My two greatest fashion inspirations are Chiara Ferragni and Olivia Palermo but it`s kinda hard to pull off their look cause we don`t have the same body type nor size but nevertheless, they are GORGEOUS and GODDESS-LIKE.
