Had gone for work in Basics...

Last week, I and hubby had a chance to take outfit shot after our appointment in Ortigas Center. I just want to share with you what I wore when I gone to work. I usually wear trousers when I was still working in a real estate company before but since I work now as a freelancer, I can wear any style as long as my outfit is not too sexy, not revealing and distracting or else I'll be dismissed. Haha. Trousers still have a room in my closet, of course. I wear it depending on the place and transaction I'm dealing.

I always wear basic or neutral colors when I work because obviously, it is not loud and not distracting. I do not wear skirts because I do a lot of walking from one building to another building when showing spaces to my clients. Sometimes, when I show a space in Ortigas, I still have to show spaces in Makati with the same client or another client. Can you imagine the pressure and stress? That's why I prefer trousers or pants than a skirt. I can move comfortably and carefree. The more comfortable you are with your outfit, the more confidence you get; thus, a better chance to close the deal.

By the way, I already found my perfect pair of jeans/ jeggings with UNIQLO. It has the best fabric and I swear it is the best denim I've ever owned. It looks like it is thick and heavy in the photo but in person, it's so soft when worn. The length is a bit long for me so I just fold about 2 inches inward.

The bags that I used for work are all large to extra-large of size. You have no idea what you can rummage inside my bag; a chaos of my personal and business stuffs.

I usually wear flat shoes but that day I wore my mid-heels close shoes to give emphasis to my jeggings. I think it made my legs looked slimmer. Also I do not wear open-toed or strappy sandals when I meet with my clients. It's just not right.

My top is unfitting and conservative in length, so a tiny belt is a solution.

I accessorize the outfit with a necklace. Since I'm all wearing basics, warm colors would surely pop, agree?

Actually, I just used the gold bracelet with charms when I gone to work. I just added another set and my DIY Macrame Bracelet for outfit shot purposes. I am so fond of wearing my creation. Have you tried creating one already?

I keep my make-up simple. I just lined my eyes, a Taupe eye shadow on my lids and apply mascara. Then, a blush, lipstick and a swipe of lip gloss. I just tied my hair for a tidy look.

What do you think?

Face It: Green Smokey Eyes

Even if I haven't determined my skin tone before;  I already love neutral and earthy colors. My love for yellow, green and brown become more intense when I determined that I fall on Warm toned. When I started to totally embrace my make-up addiction, it seemed that all things are falling into places when I also found out that my brown eyes suits colors i.e. copper, bronze, coffee, champagne, brown, beige, khaki green, royal blue, etc. that belongs to neutral & earthy colors. I was glad that my hard-earned money spent in make-ups aren't put to waste and that most of them are worth keeping for in my vanity table.

When Pantone revealed that the color of the year 2013 is Emerald, I was overjoyed. I went to my vanity table and checked my eye shadows. A grin was plastered on my face when I opened my single and palette eye shadows one by one. Oh yeah. May it be light or dark; I have enough greens. I really miss playing with my eye shadows so I took advantage of the chance as I was really in the mood to make edgy make-up. 

For my Green Smokey Eyes, I used:

Face: 

Etude House BB Magic Cream in Refreshing,

CLARINS Lisse Minute Base Comblante,

Palladium Rice Powder in Naturel RP06,

NYX Blush in Spice.

Eyes:
IN2IT Brow Kit,

NYX Eye Shadow Base in Skintone,

NYX single eye shadow in Highlight,

NYX single eye shadow in Mermaid Green,

NYX single eye shadow in Exotic Green,

IN2IT waterproof eyeliner in WE 01 All Black, 

SHU UEMURA Precise Volume Mascara Waterproof in Black.

Lips: 

Wet ' Wild Megalast in 902C Nude, 

NYX Megashine Lip Gloss in Beige, 

NYX Lipliner Pecil in 810 Natural.

Look of the Day: A hint of Tangerine

Hey guys! One fine Sunday, I and hubby spent our afternoon in Fort Bonifacio. This time, we spent most of our time walking down along the clean streets of Global City. Since it was weekend and there were no many people around the streets (except in Bonifacio High Streets); we thought of a quick photo shoot. 

This is what I wore.

The color of the 2012 is Tangerine; an orange. This color is seductive and dramatic. I was happy to know that I already have a tangerine purse (circa 2010); it means I am in! Yey!

My black top is actually a top with so many styles. I can style it in 4 ways.

To play safe with my tangerine bag, I opted to wear a basic solid color for my top & bottom. I was afraid to wear something with some bright colors because I don't want to end up looking like a clown. I added a thin orange belt to match my purse.

I paired it with a black wedge shoes.

Accessories

One of the things that hubby learned in photography is how to hide woman's flaws during the photo shoot. Let's admit it; we really hate it when our arms and tummy looked big in the photos. My very first and main flaw is my big arm; he directed me all what to do to make it look slimmer. 

That's it. Until my next post.

My wedge shoes from Keds!

I'm still a Keds at heart!

Yay! I used again the same term from my old post. Yeap, I'm fond of wearing K-e-d-s. This time I got a wedge shoes. 

Do you know that I always have a hard time looking for a perfect shoe? I am the type that not easily pleases when it comes to shoe designs. I am into comfort first then the design and other details would follow. I want it sturdy, of course. And speaking of that, let's admit that quality has a price indeed. Just like Keds shoes.

Honestly, I can't afford to buy Keds in regular price because I find it really steep. That's why when there's a clearance sale of Keds, I will never go home empty-handed. I love wedges and I was ecstatic when I finally got my first Keds wedge in color black some months ago which I bought from Eastwood Libis. 

Keds Womens 

Spright Black

Open Toe Wedge Heel Court Shoes

I also wanted the one in color white but unfortunately, there was no available size anymore. That is the disadvantage of clearance sale. You also have to deal with frustration when they said your size is not available anymore. Lol! But when we're in Cebu last October, I luckily found one in Sports Warehouse in The Walk at Asiatown Park.

Keds Womens 

Spright White

o It is an open-toe shoe which is really a plus point for me because I like to expose my hard-work nail art. 

o The vamp just fit right on my feet. It didn't hurt my big bunions. 

o I also love the very comfy cushion-padded insoles. It doesn't rub on my sole roughly even though I've worn it for long hours already. 

o The bow completes the girly appeal.

Very ideal for everyday casual wear because of its canvas design. It is 2.5 inches high but manageable for long wearing because it's not stiletto or cigarette heels. So sturdy!

The tiny orange dots in the heels and in the insoles' with the striking orange cushioned insoles give a nice contrast to whatever earth color outfit you may wear.

I love the counter of the shoe because it didn't cause me any blisters at all. It just fit me right. Yay! 

And here is a closer look of it on my feet when worn.

Isn't it lovely?

I really find this wedge stylish and versatile. You can pair it with a denim shorts, mini-skirts and dresses. What do you think? I haven't gone to Eastwood Libis for months now and I don't know if they still have some Keds wedges left on sale. I will surely buy another color.

Look of the day - Olivia Palermo

I know I've been missing in action lately, but I'll be back in a few days with lots of interesting and inspiring posts.
In the meantime, check out Olivia Palermo's casual chic outfit, which I think is perfect for the current weather here in Romania.

Cold Weather Outfits

I want to share the outfits I wore from our recent trip to the City of Pines and our country's Summer Capital - Baguio City. Yes, I've been to Baguio for the fifth (5th) time. I considered this trip very memorable because aside from it was our first time to went there at rainy season, there was also a typhoon (click here for my Baguio trip). Our previous trips were always been between the months of April to May. During summertime, Baguio City is jam-packed with a lot of tourists because it's the only place in the country where you can still chill even the sun is at its intense.

Its rainy season and I expected that it will be colder than usual. I admit, I under estimated it. I could have brought maong pants instead. But anyway, it doesn't mean that I went to Baguio being under dressed. I have brought with me the essentials to protect me from the cold weather. I love going to Baguio. Not only because of the cold weather it offers but also because of the great opportunity for me to wear "winter" outfits.

Day 1 - On our first night, we experienced occasional drizzles only. I tried hard to manage the chilly breeze.

Jacket, T-shirt and Shorts: People Are People

Day 2 - We went to Burnham Park as early as 5:00 a.m. I know it was colder at dawn but I didn't expect it was at most during our stay. Upon checking the weather, it was 15 degrees Celsius during that time. My supposed one tights only became doubled. 

Jacket: Vintage

Inner: Forever 21 (navy blue)

Leggings: Forever 21 - knitted (Black)

Tights: BaBo (Green)

Scarf: SM Dept. Store

Boots: Vintage

Day 2 - I've changed outfit around noon time.

Jacket: Surplus Shop at SM

Inner: Forever 21 (navy blue)

Boots: Vintage

Day 2 - On our second night, we dined at Nevada Square.

Dress: Two Percent (knitted)

Tights: Forever 21 - Net (Black)

Scarf: SM Dept. Store

Belt: BaBo

Boots: Vintage

Day 3 - We decided to go back to Manila during the time that Typhoon Pedring was also on its way to Baguio. God is good. We safely reached down in Pangasinan.

Jacket: Vintage

Inner: Forever 21 - knitted (Black)

Scarf: Vintage

Tights: Forever 21 - net (Maroon)

Boots: Vintage

Before I forgot, the cap that I've been wearing the whole time when I was in Baguio is from Babo. I always wear it because when I was in Baguio, it drizzles almost all the time. All my outfits did a great job to keep me warm. 

Much love,

My Recent Movie Date Outfit (8.13.11)

Yesterday, hubby and I went to a movie date in Greenbelt 3 Makati City. We watched The Rise of the Planet of the Apes and oh man... it was one of the best movies yet for 2011! You've got to watch that movie; you will not regret!

Anyway, I want to share with you the outfit I wore yesterday. 

 

Dress: Vintage

Bag: Greenhills Tiangge

Belt: SM Accessories

Shoes: Figliarina

Watch: NIKE

Ring: Random find

I didn't opt to wear earrings and necklace anymore as my loud orange bag and belt was enough to flatter my dress. If I'd do, I think I will look too dressed for that movie date.

 

This photo was taken using my iPhone 4...

 

Jacket: PeopleArePeople

I brought with me my jacket to fight the cold inside the cinema.

Until next post beauties!

Much love,

Jenniya
