In a Man's Shirt

I was at H&M Men's Section doing my regular shopping when a sales rep approached me and asked, "what's the shirt size of your boyfriend ma'am?" Bluntly I said, "Oh i'm buying for myself!" He took off after giving me a questionable look.  

I mean seriously!? Who wouldn't want to wear a man's button down shirt in white (or in any color for that matter)!? I feel sexy when I wear one (oh frankly, it needs a bit of a pushing) LOL. I own quite a number of menswear pieces and these shirts have all been a consistent go-to outfit. 

Whenever I go into a store, I usually pay a visit to the men's section. It is where I score something unique for myself. I usually get pieces in large sizes not only because they are most comfy and look very stylish, but also, oversized shirts give an effortless cool vibe. And what do you think is the other big plus factor when shopping in men's section? There is no worry that you will look identical to the other girls! LOL.

Know by now that fashion at times is uncertain. And one's style should be unpredictable once in awhile. That's what makes a total look a head turner. Now, who wouldn't want that?

So, the next time you're buying for a boyfriend, or for your hubby, your son or for dad, buy something for yourself from the men's section and change up your look a little!

A Hat to Hide the Flaws

I'm riding the culottes bandwagon these days and loving it. Another pair, this time in white and longer in length. No more awkwardness I hope...oh well, not so much now. LOL.

This post actually is not about culottes anymore since I believe I have already talked much about it on my previous post. Now let's talk about hats.

The dressing landscape has evolved to include hats in one's daily wear. Unfortunately though, it's not happening soon in the Philippines. Not unless, you are in the entertainment industry. It's not so fair huh!?

Though hats cover the head, ironically, it opens ones character to the public. It could make for an effective or implausible impression. That is why it is proper to pick the best one that will be good for both your outfit and your personality. At times, the hat you wear reflects the mood you're in. So be very careful. Hat is a potent accessory that one wears to up his outfit but there are times when we wear hats because we want to hide our flaws. There you go! I gave it away! You guessed it right. I'm wearing a hat today to make up for a bad hair day. LOL.







There is really nothing to fear about wearing hats. Just be confident. 

Remember: wear something once and it’s novel, the second time it’s familiar, the third time it’s your signature. (borrowed)
