Winter Feelings

I guess I should sell my clothes already. Would you believe that this jumper dress was bought when I was still in Junior high? Yes I don't get fat, unfortunately. I was left no reasons to buy more clothes. Lol

For Ateneans like me, fashionistas specifically, it has always been our Tuesday night worry on what to wear the next day. And it really adds an oomph when you wake up thinking your outfit best matches the weather.

So I stick on my original plan, grabbed my transparent umbrella from Saizen and top it off with my beanie. What do you think?

Winter as we know is always equated with melancholy. Agree?

The frost atmosphere flows smoothly with anyone's dreary sensation. Who would not long for happiness given with this kind of phenomenon?

However, we all have to accept that for once in our lives, everyone must come and deal with this dilemma. It is always you who will decide to stop the drama or let the drama stop you.

Junior High

If you're my classmate or schoolmate from highschool, you'd probably saw this 

already, I mean, you'd already know the story behind this. Lol

Highschool as we all know, was all about annual celebrations such as

Linggo ng Wika (A month long celebration in in commemoration of the Filipino language introduction) and as expected, everyone's required to wear something ancient filipino e.g Filipiniana, tribal, etc.

Along with my abhorrence for clothes like these, or should I say, I was really not in the mood to wear those kind of itchy and tacky gowns and costumes.

I found an alternative instead of wearing those.

I jived into the seventies instead.

In lieu of wearing something very antiquated, I preferred to mix up

traditional touch with avant-garde vibes so I ended up choosing Retro without second thoughts.

Back then, it was really hard to find something in stores that matched my chosen peg. I decided to make my own dress out of desperation.

I bought polka fabric, ripped out a ribbon from my old headband, buttons

and voila! Can't you believe I was able to made this in a matter of a night only? Those uneven hems and stitches only showed how hard for me stitching before but by continuous practice and perseverance, glad that I am able to control my stitches now.

Today, I decided to wore my Green ribbon flats and couldn't decide what to pair with it until I saw this old dress I made before. First sewing moments flashed in my mind nostalgically so I couldn't help but to share it with you.

I feel like a junior high again with this, except that it's a little smaller to me now. Thank God for creating desperation, without it, this dress wouldn't be done and this blog wouldn't be possible.

Dress: Handsewn

Flats: Solemate

I really hoped you like my dress as much as I do.

If Cham can do everything, then why can't you?
