No colors

Gloomy as it may seem. This saturnine feeling is no longer endured. I may still be living alone but the inner glee rejoices. 

Pardon such literary intro, I was just too agitated to shout.

Lemme start by putting this outfit as a symbol. It started last November when the worst agony I could ever feel in my life occurred in me. Those were the longest months of my life. No it doesn't seemed like a year, perhaps the  months preceding November 2013 could be compared to a never ending century of tribulation. 

For the first time in forever, I could cry a river not just every night but almost everyday. And those were the most helpless moments of my life. I don't care if I'm overreacting or what. Most people say I'm weird and some of my friends say I'm strong. But this time, I can see a forlorn crying lady in front of the mirror each time.

Those were the moments when you've trusted no one but yourself and God only. For I was certain that every time I drop something tremendous, something overwhelming is coming on my way.

Starting 2014, I can't say I have finally moved on with my life's problems. But I can attest that I experienced the freedom I have never encountered in my whole life. Without my huge problem, I think I might not force myself to find a job. Now I'm enjoying everything I want, I can buy anything I want, I suffer with my mistakes. Hence, everything is now under my own control, whether the results may be good or bad, it is my decision.

I'm still on my way to finding what God has prepared in return to the biggest sacrifice I have withheld. But for now, I can finally say, I'm happy.

I wish this outfit post would still be valid. This was taken before the Foto Modelo Ateneo season 3 happened when we need to sell tickets in all black attire with heels. If you're an Atenean, you will know what I mean. 

I may have been to a monochromatic moment of my life but this time, I'm starting to add and collect crayons again.

Not so Asian

I'll be forever sorry for being MIA lately. No, erase that. I've always been missing. Lol

This outfit was taken ages ago I can't even remember what month did I wore this so I think before this post rusts, Imma post it.

Honestly, I don't have anything to say about this outfit since this is something below usual and zero fancy. Is it? This is so me minus the girly feels. Haha

Anyway, instead of talking nonsense about my outfit, Imma update you guys with my life recently. Please give me this excuse, this is a blog after all. Lol

So yeah, I've been busy to work lately because I work from morning until dawn. Yes, you've heard it right, DAWN! And admittedly, I can honestly pull off decent outfit shoots everyday if I can, but I just can't. I wore "blogworthy" outfits everyday to the office however, I'm too busy to do an outfit shoot and I have no photog. So whoever wants to take photos of me, raise your hands please. Lol

If you've been following my Instagram account (@chamtanteras), you can really have a daily update of my life. Actually, it's been more than six months since I decided to grow my bangs. Yeah so this post proves how "ancient" this outfit post was. Tune in for more updates!

Twilight

Much away with overrated colors, let's get back to the classical B&W where my hair indeed standout *laughs

This blogpost will prove to you how old these photos were by my outfit inspiration: Twilight Series

As far as I've remembered, the second part of the last book of the saga was shown in cinemas a couple of months ago already, November to be exact.

And this outfit was worn during that month joining the Twilight trend.

Forgive me if you don't but I'm always been a fan of this book. It's apparently fictional yet can be realistic and that's my kind of books I wanna read a lot and get hooked to.

Alice, (Ashley Greene) one of my favorite characters who has the most sense of fashion among all of them showed inspirations like mini dresses like this paired with stilletos or pumps with stockings.

Isn't it cute? I wished I was also able to pull-off the bed weather in Forks and bring them to my country too so I could wear these kind of clothing as much as want without looking stupid.

Clothes: Thrifted

Pumps: Forever 21

Beanie: Robinsons Dept

See you around next Washday!

Color Rush

Photos by: Janica Pamaong

It seemed like living in a fast lane where you can feel the rush of deciding what to wear and ended up choosing to be you. This time, in colors.

No it isn't the first time you saw me in rainbow however, this time, let's say I consider myself rushing I came a little unprepared.

YES I STILL CONSIDER MYSELF LAZY EVEN WITH THAT OUTFIT

Why? It's plain and not too many elements. Even with my haggard face. Good it worked.

Outfit: Thrifted

Wedges: Asian Vogue

Ciao!

If Blair would be Asian

Not a Gossip Girl fan but if she really does, she would look dress exactly this way. Right, GG fans?

On the other hand, if you are not a GG fan like me, then you may or you may not know that Blaire Waldorf (played by Leighton Meester) is a woman of pure luxury, elegance and sophistication where fashion for her will never be an option, hence, a necessity.

Okay okay I know you've noticed it, this is a "me" outfit again and yeah I'm able to pull-off a GG inspired outfit without sacrificing my own style.

Everything: Thrifted

except Shoes: Solemate

See you around next Washday!

Jack & Jill

Much away with all the sleepless, homeless nights apparently evident in these photos, I can say, I can still feel the aftermath of my junior life.

You may not notice it, but for some people who already know my life, you will see how I dressed up and looked differently here. These photos were taken at almost five in the afternoon and for everyone’s information, I just woke up and rushed to school.

Zero tolerance to aesthetics. My hair isn’t curled, no makeup on and totally underdressed! Well for my own perspective.

Imagine this outfit without the pop of the neon pink suspender belt? Everything would be dull and boring, exactly how I felt that moment.

Top & Bottom: Thrifted

Suspender belt: Gmall

Bag: Tommy Hillfiger

See you around next Washday!
