Ex In The City

Him: Je Suis Amoureuse. It means you are in love. Who's the lucky guy?

This after a quick peck on the cheek. And my head went:

1.Of course, it's his language. He'd notice. *major eye roll*

2. I bought this dress bec of the jersey number. Why didn't I take an interest in the meaning?

3. Most importantly, I just finished teaching a dance class and hurriedly stormed out in this. WHY NOW?!?! LOL.

Me: You said you'll never come back!!! Oh, I didn't know. Nope. There's no one.

And again, in my head:

1. CAKES, WRONG ANSWER!!!

2. You said you'll never come back again.

We went to talk some more about his plans (possible to change again in my head) while I ogle his arms in his undershirt. To be fair, he's just come off from a different gym too but he still looks hot albeit a li'l sweaty. I hope he thinks the same of me too. Lol.

I walked home that day, learning a new French phrase (lol!) and with a lesson to carefully analyze my statement shirts (or dresses in this case) next time. =))))))

Are you ever that particular in your outfits?

White Sneakers at Work

Rainy season is upon us! Atleast here in the Philippines. You know what that means? That omnipresent white sneakers that is largely associated with the athleisure trend may not be appropriate anymore (maybe for some days). Splashing puddles in your Stan Smiths or triple white Huaraches (see the looks here)? NO, NO, NO. Trust me, I bought this highly recommended cleaner in Singapore last January but never really got the time to clean my shoes. :-/

So in what I would say a temporary adieu to my white sneakers, I’ve collated these looks on how I wore them to work for the last six months. As a bonus, I’ve added tips on how to make them work-appropriate. Atleast for casual Fridays? Check out these looks on how to elevate your white sneakers to work.

#1 Dress it up with a midi-length skirt or dress. You can always start with the basic colors (black or gray).
