Girl and Grunge

Photos by: Ralz San Pedro

Each one of us have big dream. And we’re working our ass off just to achieve these goals. But for some unexplainable reasons, I dreamed of becoming a personal assistant just at least once in my life.

Am I born of being a slave or what? Nah. I just don’t know.

Being hired as a personal assistant or a production assistant had been in my bucket list before I die.

To those who wanna know, a production assistant is someone who is being commanded in a production team to accomplish tasks. In tagalog, utus-utusan – in the field of Media. In my case, in the backstage.

I’ve been a stage friend since forever and it satisfies me whenever I’m witnessing a successful show or event and me as being part of it (looks like I’m born to be a Masscom at heart). This is the reason why I started a looooong intro in this post because this was what I wore when my friend modelled a fashion show and I volunteered to be her PA. I enjoyed rushing into the backstage busy preparing her, styling her, fixing her clothes and keeping her personal belongings.

By doing so, I must wear a comfortable outfit that will indeed make sure to enable me to freely move because I’ll be very busy big time.

As a fashion blogger, comfort is nothing without style so never forget to still be in style while things get a little chaotic.

Peacock

Masterpiece plus masterpiece; two powers combined, one legit phenomenon.

Another itchy hands of mine enabled me to make a jungle-inspired dress with Ralz San Pedro's magic hands in manipulating the camera. The result?

Great outfit and great photos, everything went perfect.

Pardon me for being having a wordy introduction and I bet I've already left you guys puzzled with what I'm talking about. This was not what you guys think. It's not even an awards night, nor a ball to really pull out a decent outfit to begin with. Would anyone expect that this was just an ordinary orientation program inside the school?

In order to be considered stylish, one is required to dress up appropriately and don't scold me for not dressing up properly because I just did. Annually, Ateneo de Davao is having an orientation program in every division they belong and in each division, it is highly encourage to put up a theme to make it sound more fun.

Luckily this year, our Humanities representative/ my close friend had the guts to pursue a Zoofari inspired program backed up by her very own division.

As blogger, of course I would definitely aspire to be the best but in a decent way. I never wished to look like a real animal of course.

Nowadays when leopard prints were just too mainstream, I decided to think of an animal that no one will ever think of wearing and my choice was peacock.

Did I achieve it?

Fortunately, I found a fabric containing an intricate peacock design on it and make it as my base color. I want to add some silhouette so I chose the color nude for my heels and my gown which also best matches my base color.

In addition, the accents and my accessories served as color pop in my whole entire outfit.

I hope you guys enjoy!

Just a little trivia:

Did you know that the bottom part of the gown was made of fake petals? :)

Gangsta over here... NO!

Just this post.

Hahaha no matter how hard I try to be a gangsta/ hipster, I will still end up looking like a princess or so. I don't know. I think it's just not my thing.

But pardon me for this post, forgive me for trying hard once again.

 Haha!

I don't know what's with me but I've noticed I'm already wearing blacks for four Washdays in a month! I didn't know if I'd love the color or I'm just making a way for my hair to stand out?

Would you believe that this was one of the days where I really don't know what to wear and the only option left was pulling out everything left in my closet and poof! It worked. Try it, sometimes cramming indeed works.

Eyewear: Rayban

See you next Washday!

Hipster

Here's another backlog for you! Tried out to be hipster again I failed again. Did I?

This was one of the last days of summer so I made sure I wore my less conservative clothes and when I say less conservative clothes, I meant the breaking-the-dress-code ones like this! This see through knit sleeveless top indeed counts.

I know it's a total contradiction of the usual Cham but hey, that doesn't stop me from exploring something new. Sometimes I need to try out something else to see if I'm worthy looking that way. What do you think?


Pardon my chasms over the past few days because I'm hella freakin out with my laggy laptop plus my over hectic sched. How I wish I can still survive my Junior year in Mass Communication. That's the very reason why I've just posted this outfit late. I wore this look last month during summer class. Yes. You've read it right. LAST MONTH. So you'll know how busy I am that I can't even blog about my recent looks.


So there was this day I got out from being the usual girly and quirky and tried to be grungy instead. I bought this thrifted vest and I decided to bleach it, braided my hair high and tight and tada! I have no idea if it really worked well but I loved it! I love to be different at times!

Poccahontas

Another typical summer school day and this was no different

with my other what-to-wear-the-next-day-dilemma

except for uhm, lemme say, my hair?

Ever since summer classes started, my hair was always down;

No one will ever see me doing my hair up or tied, just my plain and usual hair.

However, this was the first summer class I had my hair braided and tied!

Looks like I'm forced to do it because of my Poccahontas inspired outfit, eh?

My class starts at 1 in the afternoon so I have all the time

to be with my bed the whole entire morning.

But this day, I woke up early for our C2 Photoshoot at Samal.

We went rush beachin' for our entry for C2.

(And oh, can you please help us win by voting our entry?

Thanks)

Another thing/occurence I must share to you.

I LOST MY I.D!

I know I'm so stupid I left my I.D. on top of the trash bin

after this shoot. I totally forgot I have

an I.D. to get because I'm already down rushing for my next class.

Tsss.

Anyway, watch out for my next outfit posts wearing scarves and necklaces

because my neck is so lonely it has no I.D.

Hahaha!
