Choose Happiness

image

Well, look who’s overjoyed! Some time ago, I took notice of the saying that “The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the most of everything that comes their way.”

Too often, we live a life filled with discontent. We constantly yearn for more than what we possess, even if what we have in our hands is already enough. To live wonderfully, one does not need to own all the material things present in this world. One simply has to make the most out of every circumstance that life has to offer. Know and be grateful for what you have. Choose happiness.

On to my ensemble, I wore this to another day of wandering around the lovely city of LA. Can you recall the top that I wore the other way around from this post? ♫ Oops, I did it again. That bow detail was too cute not to flaunt up front. What’s more, I adored how I was able to don my ear flap beanie without feeling weird the entire day.

P.S. Please put up with with me as I continue to deal with my blog backlogs. It seems never-ending pero keribels ko ito! ;)

New Possibilities + SuperSale Giveaway

Being open to new possibilities is nothing but a great thing. A person’s profession and eventually one’s whole existence come about by trying out new things and unexpectedly realizing an ideal fondness for something they never thought would delight their spirits. It’s true what they say; you’ll never know if you never try. 

For this particular ensemble, I stepped out of my comfort zone and left my typical neckwear behind. Detachable collars have been around for quite some time now but I only got to wear one recently, special thanks to Jac of flatterbuy. One lovely discovery from this deed? A newfound love for these brilliant babies! It’s wonderful how they effortlessly perk up any top in your closet, minus the heat and hassle of additional layers.

What I wore: DIY YSL graphic printed crop top and Gold pumps [Bangkok], Zebra print trousers with bow detail [Signatures by Cristina A.Venue], Gold spikes stud earrings, Gold five row spikes bangle and Black and White mini mustache rings [Young Wild Free], Great Gatsby collar [flatterbuy], Gold Louis Vuitton Miroir Alma [Mom’s hand me down] | Photos by Joy Maslog

Fifi Lapin and Floral Prints

Currently, a crop top plus a maxi skirt has been my no fail combination of an effortlessly chic ensemble. Just like always, I loved the ease that these threads gave me as I faced a dragging school day at Taft. Minimal accessories did the trick and my hair up in a bun showed off my cool ear cuff just right.

What I wore: Fifi Lapin graphic printed crop top, Green Keep Calm and Carry On ring and Coral satchel [Bangkok], Salmon pink maxi skirt [Local department store], Vintage large frame sunglasses [Ray-Ban], Gold spike ear cuff [Young Wild Free], House of Harlow inspired necklace [Hailey and Five], Light Pink beaded bracelet [Orange Soda], Ditsy Rose Slingback Heels [Forever 21]

Rucksack Attack

One staple in a college girl’s closet would be a bandage skirt. It’s wonderful how this piece could be worn casual, corporate… the list goes on! Having classes from 8 am to 5:30 pm this day, my peg was clearly casual and comfortable. I opted for nothing but the coziest clothes that I could get my hands on. Apparently, relaxing threads do not connote a dull ensemble. Just play with cool colors and quirky add-ons like I did!

Wanna know another college girl closet staple of mine? My canvas rucksack. Two straps are definitely better than one. It helps to balance the load of your bag on to your back and shoulders to avoid bad body pain.

What I wore: Television graphic print crop top and Yellow Ice watch [Sister’s closet], Red bandage skirt [Bangkok], Hello Kitty lenseless frames [Top Avenue], Pacman with Ghost necklace and Red Inverted Triangle necklace [Personalized Accessories], Blogger bracelet [The Bead Shop], Minnie Mouse ring [Clipper], Strawberry ring [DIY], Yellow Kung Fu shoes [Bangkok], Canvas rucksack [Young Wild Free]
