Office Girl Series: Like A Boss

Officewear isn't just about looking chic and elegant. It's also about confidence and being always on-the-go. Power dressing can be applied to whatever workplace one belongs to. It exudes a message that "I'm a tough chic. Don't mess with me. I know what I'm doing because I always aim and get the best results." It's not entirely overconfidence or insensitive pride, it's showing the people around that you also deserve some respect--that you are in control of the circumstances that relate to whatever your position is. 

Grace (and fabulosity) under pressure? YES.

Heavy Bottoms

Paisley and scarf prints are definitely back!

I felt some kind of deja vu when I saw these patterns online.

Dug up my memory bank and voila, these were actually those familiar twisted teardop prints on my grandmother's dusters! Fashion has indeed its way of resurrecting itself. :D

My pops came over three weeks ago for a meeting and this is what I wore during our quick lunch-out. These photos were taken a week later (yeah, I recycled these pieces for a few minutes just to be photographed). Thanks, Tajen Sui!

Necklace from Mizar Clothing. 

Iloilo-based online shops are currently growing in number! That means faster transactions and worry-free pick-ups! No shipping fees involved!

Do not be deceived. I am not wearing a maxi skirt. These are palazzo pants!

Limited edition SO! Fab heels by Boop Yap.

So many Yaps in the world, I wonder how we are all related. Hmmm

Slit-back top from bebe.

The only kind of bag I dislike : eyebags. :(

What I wore to the Bloggers United 3 was featured online--twice! Yayyyy

That's all for now loves.

It's time to switch back to hardcore reading mode.

Four exams and three SGD sessions are waiting for me next week. Pray for me, please?

I hope everyone's enjoying the weekend! :D

Much love,

Mela
