Spotlight on Jamie: sneakers

Amethyst Superb

Who would’ve thought that basics would be such a big trend someday? I wasn’t really able to anticipate it! Few years back, fashion was all about over-the-top dressing, unexpected color blocking, excessive accessorizing and prints-on-prints!

But now, it’s all about that blacks and whites and everything in between!

This outfit’s one of the few monochromatic outfits here in my blog. I got really inspired by what I am mostly seeing in Instagram now. Baesics. I mean, basics.

It’s amazing how these two colors can shout simplicity and classiness at the same time. Pairing it with red lips can go a long way too!

Another big trend right now also, is pairing sneakers with everything. With everything, I mean everything! Even dresses and long skirts like what I am wearing here.

I got inspired from the outfits I’ve seen in Tokyo last autumn. It looked weird to me at first because it doesn’t really look balanced to me as a whole outfit. They also opt to wear crumpled mid-leg socks to their midi skirts + sneakers combo.

But what’s amazing about Japanese fashionistas is that they look always put up in whatever that they’re wearing. Be it over-sized top + over-sized bottoms and countless layerings. *slightly exaggerating* I’ll forever be amazed... *u*

On the other note, I'll be attending the CaLee Shoppe Boutique Showroom Opening today, March 14 at 10am. And one of the brands that will be selling in that showroom is La Belle Fille! The same brand of the top I am wearing here. *wink*

If my blog post is on time on sharing this news to you, you can come with me to the opening of the CaLee Shoppe Boutique Showroom later at 10am! If not, well.. you can always go there on business hours and grab every chic items you'd like! They're located at Door 2 Pavilion 6, Panganiban Drive, Naga City. Hope to get to bump into you there! ^_^

A-Fash

Olive Oyl

First shoot of A-Fash for this semester! Woot~!

Didi said I look like Olive Oyl in the Popeye The Sailor cartoon show, hence the title. Hee~

Just to keep and update~ I've just started my On-The-Job Training at Havaianas last week and I realized that I lack corporate pieces! Thank God our office doesn't require formal corporate attire. Laid-back corporate-ish attire would do. We can wear sneakers or even flipflops! As long as it's an original Havaianas. Haha. So yeah~ I was up to a challenge to wear a laid-back-but-still-appropriate attire on the second day of my internship.

Top & Sneakers: Thrifted | Skirt: Refuel Your Closet | Eyewear: @hhh_onlineshop

I've decided to base my outfit on my new fave houndtooth bandage skirt from Refuel Your Closet. And since it's so chilly in our office (I ended up freezing on my first day hihi), I wore my cutiepatootie sailor pullover. Thought of wearing black tights, too, to make my look cuter. And eyewear to look more mature. Mehe~ (I have issues with that okay haha) I didn't want to overdress so I paired my outfit with a platform sneakers. Shoes can really have a huge impact on your look, you know. ;)

Sailor top: Thirfted

After the shoot, A-Fash decided to hang out a little bit for a short planning/meeting, and we really missed the groupie! It was just some of the pioneer members because others are busy. *hashtag tampo hehe joke* We went to White Bean, a really cozy cafe for meetings and get-together's. They have a picture-perfect interior! I really love the place! I mean~ Lookie thaaat! *eyes sparkle*

(L-R, T-B) Sam, Danica, me & Didi

Why am I the only one busy consuming my order? Haha. Our A-Fash meeting was one-fourth meeting and three-fourths picture-taking, instagram-ing, tweeting and reading blogs. Haha. Love these gals! =))
