Sundate (feat. Sammy Dress Heels)

My ideal Sunday looks like this:

Going to Mass with my family then having lunch at Grandma's while I play with my favorite nephew, Basty. The fact that my granny will stay in the US for quite long and that I could barely go home on weekends now, with Sunday meals comprising mainly fastfood eaten in a very fast manner just so I can resume studying again, somehow makes me sad. Third year med school is slowly causing me to deviate from my usual norms of comfortable living; but then, this really is what taking the road less traveled entails.   

Last week, I met up with my friend, Churchille, who just arrived from Singapore.

I haven't seen her for ages and it's such a shame how I was only able to spare her 20 minutes of my study time before I rushed to church for Mass. I am such a cool and loving friend. Yes. :|

Promise, I'll make it up to you soon Chillypink!

Anyway, here's what I wore on that day:

rabbit cocktail ring from Chemjoy

hairtie from Aupie.com | spiked denim vest from Rackeight

lace skirt from Sheinside

nude pumps from Sammydress

I was in the mood for a sweet, girly number so I utilized lace and nude colors as the basic elements. The punk nature of this spiked, denim vest from Rackeight could be so deceiving that one might pair it with graphic leggings or ripped jeans by default. So I decided to match it with soft, earthy pieces like this lace skirt from Sheinside (that I also wore in this post), a tan handbag, and these nude pumps from Sammydress. They're my favorite pair so far and I love the fact that they're just of medium-height. That's style and comfort rolled into one. :)

I polished the look with a velvet hairtie from Aupie.com and this cutesy rabbit cocktail ring from Chemjoy.

Sporting something that's not as colorful as what I usually wear is such a breath of fresh air. 

Hope you liked it too!

Head over these websites. I'm sure you'll find lots of nice stuff!

Since it's not every Sunday that we get to celebrate Mass at the Cathedral, I decided to wear this lace dress that I've been wanting to wear for ages. It's simple, sweet and really dainty, I couldn't afford to over-accessorize and wear pieces that could steal the attention it deserved. This look reminds of me of matchy-matchy dressing during my childhood days - obviously not my current style staple since I'm into bright colors and prints at the moment.
It's nice to deviate from your usual style once in a while. :) 

The only fashion attitude that I should overcome though is the fear of getting meaningful glances due to 'overdressing'. Apparently, outfits like these are only worn on weddings, parties and the like, here in our province where almost everyone's hooked with the shirt+jeans trend.
Hence, I wore flats instead. :| 

I must say that it takes a bucketful of courage to daringly pull an outfit off. For some lucky individuals, it's innate nature. As for me, it will always be a bold decision to show the world who I really am without inhibitions, just glare-proof confidence. Soon, I will make that decision, swear! :D

What prevents you from being a little too dressy in public?

Much <3,

Mela
