OUTFIT: Something Blue

For most of us, Black is the go-to color on days when we're faced with the dreaded closet crisis. but for me, i always reach for blue pieces, either in plain color or with prints. i guess this has something to do with the fact that black makes you look slimmer, a silhouette that i always try to avoid. For an ectomorph like moi, color, cut and style play a vital role when picking an outfit- the basic factors that i always consider when shopping or putting together an OOTD. sometimes i would build my outfit from the ground up, highlighting my footwear for the day. other times i would pick which bag to use and use it as my basis for that day's look. but more often than not, i dress depending on my mood and that would mean choosing a top that i feel most comfortable in- be it in color or cut. so on days when i am going for a more polished look, either for an event or a special occasion, expect that you will find me in something blue. ALWAYS.
and in something blue did my relatives find me in when i attended a cousin's debut party a month ago. you know, bithday parties make me count my age and as i was delivering my speech as one of Sam's 18 treasures, it dawned upon me that i will be turning 30 in a few months and i got really, and i mean really distracted. like, deym, need to double up on that eye cream and moisturizer! haha!
happy last day of August, everyone! who's excited for the ber months??
