old cool

I'M BACK FROM THE DEAD -- UNI APPLICATIONS HAVE BEEN SUCKING ALL THE FUN OUT OF MY LIFE, BUT THEY'RE (FINALLY) ALL DONE AND DUSTED SO I CAN GET BACK TO SPRUCING THIS SPACE UP. I KNOW I ALWAYS EMPHASIZE HOW LOW MAINTENANCE MY APPROACH TO BLOGGING IS, BUT I WANT TO TRY POSTING MORE OFTEN, SAY ONCE A WEEK. LET'S SEE HOW LONG I CAN KEEP THIS STREAK UP. (EDIT: REGULAR PROGRAMMING WILL COMMENCE IN 2016)

THIS OUTFIT IS INSPIRED BY LAID-BACK, VINTAGE COOL. I'VE BEEN IN LOVE WITH SOME PIECES THAT I FOUND LOOKING THROUGH MY MOM'S BASEMENT BINS, ESPECIALLY THE MAX MARA SHIRT SEEN BELOW.

IN CASE YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SOME FINDS OF YOUR OWN, I'D RECOMMEND RAIDING YOUR LOCAL THRIFT SHOP (THE BEST UKAY-UKAYS IMO ARE IN MAKATI CINEMA SQUARE) OR PARENT'S CLOSET, LIKE I DID. IF YOU WISH TO GO THE ONLINE ROUTE; NASTY GAL JUST RELEASED THEIR NEWEST VINTAGE GOLDMINE (WARNING: $$$) AND HAVE AN AFTER PARTY LINE MADE OUT OF VINTAGE FABRICS. FOR BARGAINS, CHECK ETSY.
