What I Wore: Introducing My Favorite Jacket
10:23 PMFINALLY.. An honest to goodness outfit post.
You guys all know that I got SERIOUSLY debilitated when i thought my camera conked out forever. Well, the good news is, i finally got it back from the service center! They replaced the lens and everything. Woot! A month has definitely been too long--had to wait like a beggar for my insanely busy friends to upload, that's why some posts are beyond delayed.. but I'm sure glad that's over.:)
For this post I wanted to introduce you to one of my favorite pieces in my closet-this badass biker jacket. and trust me, quite a story behind this, too...
WEARING
biker jacket--thrifted
striped minidress--George
pleather leggings--H&M
hi-tops--Diesel
accessories--ubiquitous studded cuff, Pixel watch by ODM
Would you believe me if I told you that I got this insane jacket for only 50 pesos (a dollar)?! Was just scouring my usual thrifting haunts when i found this mint-condition beauty-- and I can't believe no one was sweeping it up, as it was incredible! well, biker chic wasn't "en vogue" then, so I guess that's that... thank God for recurring trends!
Spending the whole day in the beach under the sun maybe was not the best idea after all. Spent the weekend at a beach resort with friends, and see how tan i got! Wonder how long it takes to go back to my normal colour.:(
Most definitely love the city streetlights at night... I've grown up in the city my whole life, and I totally feel one and in my element in it. If i could move somewhere, I'd definitely choose a metropolis still.. But then again, nothing wrong with peace and quiet. I LOVE every single moment spent in beaches as well.
Got these Diesels from my cousin during a trip to the US-- kudos cuz, for knowing the kind of stuff that I want. My go-to shoes for casual days.
**Thanks to Carmina for taking the pictures!**
Before I forget, a huge THANK YOU to those who never forget to drop by my blog and for your continuing support. Thank you to all those who affirmed my stand regarding these petty people who leave nothing but the glooms-- your love and support has been overwhelming. Let me know if someone deserves a beatdown from your end, because I'd love to help. Haha. Kidding.
Lots of love, and I will resume to commenting today. XOXO
