Hello, Yellow

So, Pantone declared that Ultra Violet is 2018’s color of the year. Riiiggghhtt. And as of last year, many celebs were already quick to adapt to the trend. It was seen in S/S 2018 runway (along with many other spring colors though) mainly in the form of lavender but one key color also stood out in most of the collections – yellow.

It’s been three years ago since I realized that a mellow yellow dress is also flattering to my skin tone when I first featured it here. Last year though, I got more comfortable with the hue as there were quite a few more added to my wardrobe as seen here. And now, here’s a loud egg yolk color from Rosegal that instantly caught my eye upon checking their collection. It’s a minimalist fit-and-flare dress featuring spaghetti straps that simply screams sunshine and optimism and just seasonally appropriate. What’s not to love?

Lavender, being a close relative of Millennial Pink, may look more appealing to this generation but while it’s still early to call it, I’m quite positive that this will be more popular than Pantone’s declaration? Just look at last year’s Greenery vs Red. :P And besides, what with all the things happening in this world, we all need more yellows in our lives. Right, Chris Martin? ;)

Oh, I've linked also below the bag from Sammydress that kinda reminds you of the future Duchess' look, right? ;)

Project Makati

Finally, this "creative" project of mine has kicked off. It’s been a vision ever since for this blog. To do outdoor shoots that is. Sayang kasi ang outfit! Lol!  No, what I’m saying is justice is served in the outfits when shot in the open, agree? There’s sunshine, there’s a backdrop and trust me there really are nice backdrops.

Coz this is what me and my friend/ co-fashion blogger John realized while doing this project 30 minutes after a quick lunch during workdays - that there are still unexplored areas here within Makati that’s *“Pak” for photography. Not that we’re saying we’re professional ones. To be honest, we’re just armed with a Go Pro and iPhones

So for the first venue, we’ll take you to this park that’s just *“one tumbling” away from our building – Ayala Triangle Gardens. Haha! It takes a certain nerve being seen by other people while shooting though but as John would always tell me, *“Derma!”.

*Pak! A common gay expression to denote high impact! Haha!

One tumbling or isang tumbling in gay lingo means the place is so close, you can just do a cartwheel and get there.

Derma or Deadma. Means to ignore what everybody is saying or thinking. It’s a close association to a “beauty” term dermatology. Lol.

Ray of Sunshine

Let’s talk about resolutions. I mean, style resolutions. Riiiggghhht. Do you ever have one for 2015? I mean, assuming that you’re reading this because you’re a style enthusiast. :) None? Well, how about this suggestion? Trying on a different color that you haven’t before. Good one right? *wink* And since Pantone had declared that the official color of the year is Marsala, let’s talk about the color yellow. Hahaha!

True. I’ve had some yellows in my wardrobe before but when I saw this dress early last year (again, a late post), it’s like a breath of fresh air, a ray of sunshine and also a lightbulb moment! Haha. Why? Because all of a sudden, there was this realization that I’ve never had a yellow dress before. I mean, for as long as I can remember. And I don’t know why I was eliminating it entirely from my style when it actually blends well with my skin tone.

So to end this, I encourage you dear readers to try this style trick. Come on, you can use a bit of experimenting on this. Who knows what certain color might suit you? It could be Marsala. It’s a pretty interesting color too you know? *wink* :)
