To the office, and down the streets.

We all know that the workplace requires clothes that aren't too fancy or flamboyant because these connote unprofessionalism. Structured, no non-sense, neatly-ironed, clean pieces are the absolute office go-to's and somewhat requisites for one to be taken seriously (especially young people!). One can always inject some fashionable fun, but never too much fun!

This has always been clear to me. My workplace does not require a dress code but impose it on myself to do so somehow, someway no matter how little, because it helps me work better. But what's a girl to do when she needs to be at work and in Kalsada Ph (Bjorn Manila's streetstyle movement, read about it by clicking the link) all in the same day? The possibilities are endless, challenging and fun. 

Here's my take:

Because of my usual snooze disease leading to mid-morning-cram, my quick savior were these hounds tooth pants. I don't know why but I feel like though this pattern is "fashionably fun", it's something the corporate world would honor. Is it just me? :)) I wore a cardigan instead of a blazer for a decent but more laid back effect, I made sure it was a printed one to make the look more interesting: pattern-on-pattern. I completed the look with my fave trusty and versatile heels from fashioncookie, they always solve my day to night dilemmas. I think yuppies should invest in fashionable pieces that are work-place friendly and in minimalist accessories that don't steal attention but rather supplement and compliment the look. This necklace from +-x/ is my current fave because it gives any outfit that extra omph and you can wear it with almost anything!

To give my outfit more street vibe for Kalsada, I wore a midriff  (which I concealed by closing my cardigan at work), would then don on some aviators, mess my hair up a bit and brush to the side, swipe some red lipstick, and voila! :)

Sadly though, very very sadly, work poured down unusually that day that I wasn't able to participate in Kalsada and meet Bjorn Manila with the other bloggers, but I'm sure my fellow CFB loves and everyone else from fashionable Cebu gave the hometown justice it deserved! I could only wish I was there to see it happening! :)

Have a good week, loves! Maybe I'll write more about corporate dressing soon for those who just graduated/ passed licensure exams, I need to relearn it myself too! Until then!

One of the boys.

I know, I know. I'm 23, a working professional and I should be going around in more decent, respectable pieces with collars on them and everything. This outfit is EXACTLY what my dad hates seeing me in, but is too awkward to tell me that he ends up telling mom and resorts to not speaking to me for the next 15 minutes. :)) Let's just say, he wants me to dress as if I'm going to run into a client any moment soon. Nothing midriff, nothing backless, nothing with holes on them. (But Pa...) That weekend, it seemed like a fine day for a complete dress down. First, I was far from home. I gatecrashed CDO to surprise a friend for his birthday and these photos were taken on a boat back from our short side trip to Camiguin Island. And two, I was with my girlfriends and good old college friends. With purely adventure trips, long roadtrips and beach on our hazy itinerary, a rugged pair of shorts seemed like a great idea :))

Nothing spells "one of the boys" better than denim shorts, canvass shoes, and baseball caps. The only thing that probably kept me looking feminine was my cropped top in substitute for a muscle tee/ band shirt. I let my hair loose, wore a few gold bracelets to tone down the black ones, and pearl earrings to pull me more to the seaside She-side. White and bleached denim are some of my favorite palettes for a laid-back, fresh vacation look. The classic red cap, I think, gave it an interesting contrast.

I owe this quick outfit post to Buddy, for bearing the shame with me and taking photos of me in the barge and of course my trusty cellphone, my savior for random instagram moments that turn into poorly-documented-but ain't-so-bad-blog posts.

Cropped Top: Topshop

Denim Shorts: Blind Clothing

Cap (with pretty corny text I must admit): Penshoppe

Hope you like it! :)

Here are some photos from my trip!

Follow me on instagram, its honestly more updated! :) @kdawnsy
Most of these are Instagram pictures, my quick fix.

The 730AM surprise at our new fave place, Missy Bonbon in Limketkai Mall. Zhen came from 630 mass with his mom and when he saw all 9 of us at his breakfast place, his face was priceless! :)) Ours was, well, sabog. We came straight from a 12 hr boat ride.

The Team ;)

Day 1: So after the surprise and birthday breakfast, Birthday boy (photo above) wanted to go straight to Camiguin Island so off we went! :) We toured around the island. Night came and we were all so sticky so we checked in and finally got to bathe! In a hot spring! Sooo good.  :)

Day 2: White Island. This paradise is a boat ride away from Camiguin. It is what it is, an island that's all sand bar and nothing else. Paradise! They say it sinks in the evening. Oohhh. 

After this we went back to the hot spring resort, swam some more, ate seafood for lunch (again), dropped by Camiguin's famous "Viola's halo-halo" (Zhen's fave back then) and got in a barge headed back to CDO (where the outfit shot above was taken from). We spent another 2 hrs on the road, toured around CDO city some more after dinner and not later, fell fast asleep.

 Day 3: White Water Rafting! A CDO trip is never complete without one! :)
Riding Rapids. Rowing and getting wet. Drowning. Exhilirating! Probably the most exciting day of my non-sports-inclined life! :)) After this, we shopped for pasalubong and went home that night.

 

One lovely weekend indeed. Happy Birthday again, Zhenny! <3
