Metamorphosis

I feel so blessed to be chosen as one of OMG Fashion UK's fashion reviewers.

They have the most unique dresses and this one is perhaps my favorite. It's amazing how a one-piece garment can have so many interesting details. The aztec patterns on the sleeves, the butterfly stamp print, and the baroque figures work perfectly well together. 

Wore the dress with heelless shoes and my yellow retro sunnies from Foymall for an Andre Chang-inspired look. If only I was in Manila a few days ago, I'd wear something like this to the Philippine Fashion Week!

My first attempt to style this dress:

 I later realized that it was a bad hair day so I had to wear my hair up and ditch the hat.

I loved the flowers in the background so much! I've always wanted to have an ootd shot at this area in San Antonio Resort. It felt like I was in a different world. :)

Prison Break

One of my long-standing pointers in choosing outfits is to avoid pieces that would make me look more mature or older than my age. That's why I always stick to colorful and breezy clothes. Apparently, I've broken that rule now. I guess, a misconception that even I used to be guilty of believing, is that women above 25 years must wear less fancy and more prim and classy outfits. But noooo. Age must not limit anyone from looking fabulous. Even marital status and number of kids (or even grandchildren) should not limit moms from wearing brights and prints and even short skirts and dresses. Everyone has the right to feel beautiful and be fashionable.

I may not belong to the working population yet but sometimes, it can be a confidence booster to dress like someone of high regard. This is my version of power dressing. :)

If you haven't noticed yet, the blogosphere is currently afflicted with the black-and-white stripes pandemic. I particularly love this skirt from She Likes because it doesn't require showing too much skin and it hugs my curves just right. I opted to pair it with a plain crochet top instead of something printed for additional texture and less chaos. And of course, this "power outfit" wouldn't be complete without pointed cat-eye sunnies from Chicnova (which by the way, made me feel a million dollars richer) and Aimee flats from Tonic that created an illusion of continuity with my stripes skirt. 

Have a fun week, lovelies!

Much love,

Mela
