3 ways to wear (Shift Dress)

Hi, loves! I am back! First of all I wanted to thank all of you who wished me luck on my last post. Just a little update about my mom, she's doing fine now. Hopefully her papers will be complete before the end of the year. If all goes well, she will be staying with me for as long as she wants.

Any how, back to the focus of this blog! Since I was absent for a long time, I decided to make it up to you guys. Here's my 3 ways (I know it's been a while since the last one). To recap, the 3 ways is about how to take a single clothing item and maximize it into 3 different outfits. This post is for some of you planning to go vacation (like me). Since I'll be going to a city, I chose a shift dress that I can layer to accommodate different types of activities I am planning to do. 

Outfit 1: Dress (out of stock) similar here Promod Skirt (Philippine brand) similar here Mango Sunnies Topshop Purse LV Sandals: Zara

First, I will probably check the local attractions. This mean lots of walking and pair of flat sandals is essential. And of course, you've got to protect those beautiful eyes from sun rays while checking out the local souvenir stores.

Outfit 2: Dress Promod Demin Vest & Purse Target Wedges similar here Mango Touch

Second, shopping, shopping and shopping did I say shopping yet? Yup, checking out the shopping places is a must :). On this one, because the dress is tiny bit body hugging, I added a denim vest and a pair of wedges to make the look casual and not too "sexy" for day time.

Outfit 3: Dress Promod Jacket (old) similar F21 Necklace flea market from Philippines Clutch DIY Shoes (old) similar here Zara

Third, of course if you're travelling with loved ones, a group of friends or, in my case, with Hubby, you have got to have a night out. To try the local restaurant, night club or whatever is the "night out" means for you. I added black jacket, black heels and because the rest of my outfit is simple I let the necklace do the statement.

There you go, one dress, 3 outfits. Remember, packing and outfit planning ahead of time is the key to making the trip easy and simple. How about you guys, how do you plan your outfits when traveling?

Thanks for visiting!

Xo,

Hoorayyy!!! I am Extremely happy, just like my shirt says! :D It's already February! Meaning it's Amor month...I mean LOVE month! :). Do you guys have any plans this coming Valentines day? As for me, My husband and I are planning to celebrate Valentines at home, just like last year. Our last valentines, I surprised my husband with a candle light dinner and cooked his favorite food. This year we're going to do the same, the only difference is I'm not going to surprise him anymore. He actually surprised me the other day saying he wanted to do what we did last year, but this time he's going to HELP to set up everything. Boy! last year was tough, it was last minute changes and it's my first time giving him a surprise dinner. I was going crazy decorating the dining room because I wanted to make the room look "romantic-y" (not that my husband cares about those things, it's just my preference). Cooking was a bit of a challenge for me because I'm not much of a cook, but I'm thankful to my best friend GOOGLE for always being there for me :). Seeing my hubby's reaction was priceless and all the hard work that day was worth it. We enjoyed our dinner while our "theme" song was playing at the background and we had an amazing night. What about you guys, what was your last years valentines story?

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi, loves! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! My husband and I took our little one to the Children's Museum last weekend. There's nothing brand new on this outfit except for the scarf that my husband got me from one of his trips last month. I'm actually wearing 4 layers here, thermal underwear, cashmere turtle neck which you can see (blue) peeking through the neck of my tunic dress, and a cardigan. I belted it so as not to lose my womanly curves and look like a rolled up ball. Oh, I also had a coat, but I took it off while we were strolling and taking pictures. I put it back on after the sun started to set and I couldn't handle the chills anymore. 

Thanks for visiting!

foggy day(outfit)

This is how foggy it was all day and night

Hi lovelies! How was your weekend? The weekend for me is typically our family days.  We usually go places and eat out or stay home and watch movies. Yesterday was not a good day to take photos outside or anywhere in DC.  It was very foggy all day long. That's why Hubby and I decided to take my OOTD photos at the patio in our apartment. Thanks to my husband for good camera settings.  we got enough lighting and he even added some "leaves effects" hehehe.

On to my outfit! I'm wearing this high/low dress or, as they call it "mullet".  I bought this dress a couple weeks ago (check your local H&M store, it's on sale!).  It's two sizes bigger than what my usual size is, but, because the dress is too fitted, two size bigger is perfectly fit for me. What I like about this dress is that there is plenty of room to accessorize.  I can also make different styles to wear.  For now, I just throw on some scarves, added a leopard belt, and paired it with boots.

Have a glamorous day! Hope you'll have a great week ahead!

Xoxo,

Amor

Hi lovelies! First of all, let me great you guys a Happy New Year! I hope you had wonderful and memorable holiday(s)/new year! 2012 was a great year for my blog, but my style was experimental. I was kind of all over the place and trying to figure out what "style" would best suit my personality. Before the new year started, I had been studying and realized what my personal style is. I want to distinguish and expand on that style. After so many trials of different types of style in 2012, I found out that my personal style tends towards both "Classic" and "Chic" . My personal style is "Classic" because I like simple yet traditional pieces.  However, my style is also Chic because I like my outfits looking powerful, sometimes monochromatic, and combined with bold accessories. 

There you go ladies, I really hope I can keep up with my "style goal" this year because, knowing myself, I like last minute changes! LOL.

Thank you very much for visiting! Have a glamorous day!

Hello loves! How's everything? My Husband and I celebrated 8th year anniversary. Our plan  was actually this weekend but, right after his work we decided to go out for dinner, like, pronto! So as I'm rushing I didn't really get a chance to plan what to wear. Because we were going to a dinner, I wanted to dress a little bit. But I think my little went too much. As you can see in the picture, I threw a mix of everything: sequins, tweeds, animal print, and studs. I don't know what's going on with this outfit, I mean it's a mess! (please don't try this at home, this is only done by the professional, lol)
oh well, at least something different, right? :)
That's it for now friends! Enjoy your day and have a wonderful weekend! Xoxo

no memory...

Hi! How was your weekend, loves? My family and I went to Air Space Museum last saturday. My husband took some photos of me inside the museum. After a few hours of making poses, my husband looked showed me the screen of camera and all I see is red blinking light that said "No Memory Card"! Hahaha! To make the story short we had to go to the store across the street and buy a card. We ended up taking my photos outside.
Thanks for visiting, have a great day! Xoxo
