#OOTD: Plains and Prints

For sometime, I have been trying to put prints and colours into my outfit choices. I bought the swirl and Koi printed top from the thrift and so is my go-to black jacket. I wore a maroon skinny jeans from Cotton On. To bring balance into the outfit, I pulled over this basic black jacket from the thrift.

To seal the look I wore a grey boots from Kmart.

Most of my clothing choices are either too basic and simple so sometimes I have get out of my comforts and do little or two inserts of prints into what I wear. Sometimes, it brings joy if what you wear has happy, vibrant colours or prints. It pays off sometimes when you take risks not only in fashion but in reality per se. If something works because you tried is a well deserved risk and vice versa. We don’t get to have all so sometimes its okay to be adventurous right? 

Black Summer

The first blind mice!

Went shopping at Coles! The SM Hypermarket here in Australia. hehehe.

The sun is up here in Australia. But you’ll never know the weather shift in a few hours. I decided to wear this thrifted Mango suit tights from Salvation Army and and a black plain top from Folded and Hung. At first, I was drawn to wear an all black ensemble but it’s just too heavy for summer so I decided to put some extra pop of colour and added up the brown boots from Cotton on and a thrifted Bershka Man cardigan which made the look more casual than too serious for summer. 

Although I am loving this outfit, I was so conscious of the super tight-fitting pants and top that shows off something down there hahaha. I keep on pulling my shirt down or putting my bag in front of me. Haha. I guess I’ll know better next time. A loose top and a tight fitting pants. 

I miss blogging! Sorry for being such a lazy ass. And I just have too many things on my plate too right now.

First

The first few baby steps are the most crucial time for an infant who is learning to walk. The same goes with any new situation or a new person you just met. It will be hard to establish balance as you are still exploring how to gain that balance or trust if you like. The more you give yourself a practice to walk the better you will get each time. Well, I am just on that stage right now getting my balance here in Australia with no one to hold on to except yourself and yourself. But you have your friends as your support. Even if my stay here was pretty awesome as to this writing, a time will come when you will yearn for the people who are dear to you, people from your home. 

Back in the days when I was wishing to be here, I am becoming impatient and hopeless for my future here. And what do you know I am writing this pretty melodramatic post here in Australia. Finding your niche is the most arduous task of all. 

Now back to the fun part. I don’t know how I managed to pull this look. As you guys know I am all about casual ensembles but having to look like a million bucks in suit is a little bit out of my comfort zone. I started this look with my chocolate brown suit pants from Cotton On which I bought for 10 bucks such a deal. And then I started pairing it with my shirts and this blue chambray top fitted well with the brown pants. Paired this with my thrifted blazer and lace-up shoes from Salvation Army and ebay.

The David G. Pose. Lol.

My new sanctuary in North Balwyn!

So do I look like a manager in Coles? Hahaha. I wish I am.

I came here with 1 luggage and 2 hand carry bags and this was 127 days after and counting. Haha. I still have 2 boxes not included in this picture Haha. Imagine hoarding!

I am still hoping to be in the Philippines this Christmas or it could just be a wish for now? Lol

If No One Will Do It For You

If no one will do it for you then do it yourself. Says selfie. Haha. I know. We all may have done one selfie in our lifetime. While I was waiting outside the dressing room, I did myself a favour of snapping some selfies. I was quite confident with this look that I pulled together. It’s chilly here in Melbourne and layering clothes is really to be taken seriously. You don’t wanna be a frozen delight. Do you? Lol

This was my first week here in Australia. Look how time flies so fast. Being away may be hard and all but I have to endure it. In the meantime, I could use some stress relief via these #OOTD’s and fashion and basically just occupying myself with productive things to do. Basically, what I want is just to meet new faces and get to know Melbourne more. 

At the dressing room while Tita Liz is fitting her clothes. Squeezed in some time for this.

At Northland Shopping Centre

Camwhoring in stores near you! Hahaha.

No way but the High-way

Last week was a hell of week. From wee hour call times to a great load of patients to a distant travel to the site, we were able to endure all of that. Of course with friends at your side, no work is that hard if you’re having fun right?

Even though the entire week was super taxing, we still were able to inject fun and craziness. Haha. It’s what it should be. No stress just love.

At the Expressway Tollway Balintawak Office.

The Expressway. We didn’t waste time shooting here. Haha.

To the left, to the left.

The pose of the century.

Stolen Shot? Nah! haha

Feeling the greeneries along the high way with smoke, traffic and noise. So much fun! 

There’s only one way to happiness. It’s your choice and you know it.

Wait for my next post with my friends at work! :)

It’s Not What You Think It Is

 After some time, I finally got back to work not permanently though. Happy that people still want me to work for them and with them. That’s just so gladdening. Right? I will be forever grateful for these opportunities. And this is a great distraction from my current dilemmas too. So I'm hitting it twice with a stone.

Me and the new Portable Xray Truck!

 This is the best work. Being able to wear what I want. Not really but it's because I don’t have blue scrubs. But loving what you wear really does make you even more self assured. A perfect excuse eh? Lol.

Do you want to come sit with me and have a Kitkat? :)

This is not what you think it is! Not trying Jhong Hilarios’ photo oopsie! Hahaha.

Thanks to my photographer of the day Ma’am Jen! :)

Shoe Selfie time!!!
