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?

Ways To Wear A Basic White Top

Advance Happy New Year to all!

Why that is every New Year comes, aside from doing a general cleaning; I always find myself working very hard in cleaning out my closet? Is it just me or you do, too?

Okay, so there was one afternoon when I opened my closet and some pile of clothes fell down. I think I have lot of stuffs or maybe our closet is just literally small to make all our stuffs fit in. Hmm...

I selected clothes that I hardly wear (circa 2-3 years ago) and put it in other container for disposal. My siblings and my one & only niece will benefit from those and some are reserved as giveaway for my friends. While as I was doing segregation, something popped on my mind when I saw one - a basic white top. Do you know that a white basic top or a blouse or a dress is a must in your closet? I love whites! 

Rumor Has It by PeopleArePeople

If you wonder why the photo has still a tag, well, I took this photo as soon as I got home when I bought it for future blog purposes and speaking of it - just like today's post. 

I bought this white sleeveless last October 2011 before we went to Mindanao. I know that the weather in my hometown is always hot and humid all-year round and a basic white sleeveless would be perfect when we do a stroll. A white clothes tends to bounce back the sun's heat and it absorbs less heat than of any colors of clothes. To stress this out, avoid black tees when you know that you're going to spend more time under the sun because a black clothes absorbs more heat.

Moving on, basic whites (top or bottom) are easy to style with and is versatile to pair or to layer with. Avoid whites if you know you're a little bit bloated because it will make you look even bigger. In my case, I'm in denial, so please just let me wear it. Lol. So, after a much hard-work of compiling the clothes that need some loving and clothes that need some care in the hand of others (friends and my siblings), I came up with this post of styling my favorite basic white sleeveless. 

Office Outfit No.1

If I am still reporting to an office on weekdays, I would definitely wear this white top with a trouser. Always remember, if your top is fitted then pair it with loose bottom. And if your bottom is fitted, then your top should be a bit loose.

Of course, a blazer would complete this look for a modest finished. I wear it with a tiny Brown belt and a very dark brown high heels.

Office Outfit No.2

It is white and very, very basic. As I've mentioned earlier, this basic top I have is a combination of a blouse and a dress. If you are fond of wearing dress in reporting to office, this is just perfect for a corporate look but still looking chic and sexy.

It is stretchable, so I just pulled it down to make it longer. Wear it with just a tiny belt to make you look taller and it gives the illusion of long legs. 

Try it with a scarf! Remember, less is beautiful. Don't accessorize much. Just add a watch and a pair of bracelets would do. Don't forget the blazer to keep the modest look when needed like for a meeting.

Office Outfit No.3

Back in the day, I always have a denim blazer when I work because our air-con unit in the office cool down the place very quickly and later on very, very cold. Brrrrr!!! Denim is a thick fabric so it's just perfect for layering and fights the cold temperature.

I changed my high heels to a wedge shoes to fit with my denim blazer. Denims can make you look tough so I guess the wedge shoes can balance your look than of the stiletto high heels. Agree?

Shoes: Matthews

Wedge shoes: KEDS

Belt: Forever 21 & SM Acessories

Necklace: Tiangge

Blazer: PeopleArePeople

A Dinner Date/ Party Outfit

After a long day of work or a long week, a dinner date awaits with your girlfriends, boyfriend or your husband. Sometimes you and your office mates would like to hang-out in a club or a party. You can actually wear the same outfit provided you have prepared a clutch bag or a hand bag.

Since the fabric is stretchable, I pulled the bottom up for a sexier cut. I paired it with a stiletto shoes with a black and bronze/ gold design to match with my feathered clutch bag.

Outfit Details:

Shoes: Janeo

Necklace: Tiangge

Clutch bag: CMG

A Common Outfit

After getting off from work or just a common day like weekend, use the basic white to a simple date or a simple stroll in the mall with your loved one (a boyfriend or a hubby). In my case, I love wearing mini-skirts or shorts.

I pulled up the dress and fold the edge in my hip area.

Shoes: KEDS

Necklace: Tiangge

Belt: Babo

Hand bag: XOXO

Fyi, my hubby was the one who take all the shots happened in our roof deck. He directed all my poses. Okay, that are my ways to wear a basic top. How about you? Do you have a basic white tee? How do you style it? Care to share? I hope you find this post helpful.
