The Flash in Disguise

 Prelim exams were wrapped up and I finally got to blog(Woot!woot!). Doesn't it feel like it's been a really long time since I last posted here? Well, it's actually just a week but still, I missed blogging and just talking and sharing my outfits to you in general.

This post is going to be all about debuts, which is helpful mostly to those who belong to the same age bracket as mine. But it can also be helpful for my more mature readers out there. 

Tip No.1 Always dress up according to the dress code. If the dress code is not indicated, it is better for you to ask the debutant personally. This little piece of information will guide you in creating you outfit for the occasion. It helps avoid overdressing/underdressing and can also help and guide you color-wise.

Tip No. 2 One of the fashion no-no's for girls is having to share the exact same dress/ensemble in an occasion. Doesn't this scenario suck? Well at least it is for me, because standing out and making a statement is very crucial for me. It is just so frustrating to have prepared for a substantial amount of time thinking of what to wear to a debut and when you finally decided on a very pretty dress there is atleast one person that wears the exact thing that you have on. To steer away from this dilemma, find pieces that have really interesting cuts and details to come up with the perfect stand out ensemble. Another way is to go completely the opposite of my first advice. Go for minimalistic or classic cuts and silhouttes and you can stand out just the same. But despite of everything I said, the first thing to consider is not to outshine the debutant. Yes I know, let's say you really want to make a statement but it's her night and she should be the only 'queen of the night'. Let us just give her this one night shall we? We can have all teh other nights for ourselves after this LOL.  I know it's really hard to stand out but at the same time toned down, but I'm sure that if you see the dress/ensemble the first time, you'll know that it's the one(whoa! parang sa totoong buhay lang ah).

I only have two tips for now, and let's hope for more in the future :)

Let's move on to what I wore to the first debut I ever attended.  

Evidently, the theme for the night are neon and bright colors. And knowing my style, I'm never really the kind of girl who likes really bright colors. I always stick to my basic colors and neutrals pretty much conquer my closet. Nevertheless, it is really nice to have these occassions as an excuse to dress up away from my comfort zone. Plus I really have been waiting for an event to wear this dress out. Isn't it the perfect dress for this occasion? 

What I love about this dress is the cut of it. When we hear of asymmetrical dresses,  we always think about high-low/mullet dresses. Well, I introduce you to another asymmetrical dress. 

This ensemble is also the perfect balance of standing out but still gives a room for the debutante to shine. So.... 

Goes by the dress code? CHECK!

Appropriate for the occasion? CHECK!

Bracelets: All from Divisoria

Dress: Thrift Store | Boots: BU4(Ms. Kookie Buhain) | Leather jacket: Thrift store | Clutch: SM Department store

So far, this is just my first debut to become a part of and I know this year is going to be packed with a lot of debut celebrations which means I really am getting old LOL. Anyway, I guess I better start collecting pretty dresses huh? 

P.S. I am just curious on your opinion of debuts. Would you want to have one for yourself? If yes, what is your dream debut celebration? 

What do you think of my outfit?

P.P.S Besides my blog, one more way of expressing my love for fashion is through making fashion youtube videos.Here's a video that I have been working on these past few days :)

A Gaze at the Past

I mentioned a few times in my previous posts the incoming program/activities for the foundation month of my alma mater. Traditionally, a parade will took place to open a five or four day event. And as a sister that I am, I attended it to support my brother for he is a part of the drum and lyre team of the school. I was photographing every part of the day and it goes just the way I remembered it. And remember how I said someday I'm going to let go of my high school days? well, this day is not gonna be that day because I'm going to dedicate this post to it. Let's take a break from  the fashion world for awhile and come with me and lets take a gaze from my past (Who'd be interested in it right? well maybe through these you'll remember your past and might help you be cheered up from all your stress, or if not, Pagbiyan nalang ako LOL).

I made a list of the things I miss the most from my high school days and maybe you could do the same and share it with me in the comments, I would love to read all of it.

1. Programs and Activities

One of the thing IJMS is known for are its programs held every month. There are different contests such as Mass demo in July as the Nutrition month, Math Jingle and interpretative dance in September as the Math and Science month, Foundation dance in October as the foundation month and the list goes on. 

These events contributed a lot in us. There are relationships formed and  friendships crumbled. Simple practicing creates bonding moments that can be treasured forever. I miss all these so much because in college, even if  there are also activities we could attend to, everything starts all over again and it is not the same as high school.

I snap a photo of this because Faith was my section when I was a 1st year student, which is by the way my second name.

2. Organizations and Clubs

I'm not bragging but, I'm in a lot of orgs and clubs back then and I learned a lot being in them. I learned how to lead( Atleast I think I do LOL), I learned to mingle and to work with people, and I also learned to commit to something and work hard to achieve a goal. I must say that experience really is the best teacher.

3. My beloved teachers

Who doesn't love their teacher, right? Well maybe some of you don't but I sure do. They helped me so much and contributed in who I am today. They are my friend, adviser, and guide. 

4. Relationships

No comment

Take the next thing that I'll say  positively :) Back then in high school, there are a lot of relationships; friendships, boyfriend-girlfriend relationships, etc. In the  girlfriend-boyfriend relationship, I always have been the third wheel and it might be weird but I long for the scene when all the girlfriends and boyfriends meet at breaks and lunch breaks to be with each other LOL

5. Friends

(L-R Me, Pia, Mei, Glydelyne, Mitzy, Loren, Chel, Alyssa, Rizza)

Yes, I made some friends in college but the connection I have with my high school friends cannot be replaced so easily. We've been together in ups and downs, we have been through break ups but still, we stand as one( And drama lang haha).

Let me stop there for it's getting a little depressing LOL. But there is one thing that is not going to stop, it is me rambling about my alma matter and my past.

About my outfit, I decided to just be simple since I would be photographing a parade, hence it's going to be hot. But why is she wearing a blazer you might ask? Well, I want to protect my skin from the sun and still looking so chic( Oh, the things a blazer could do, that's why I adore them so much).

What's your list of the things you miss from your high school days?
