Dinner Date

Top: Penshoppe | Skirt: Forever 21 | Shoes: Forever 21

Necklace: Gifted | Watch: Casio | Bag: Longchamp Le Pliage "Shopping"

Finally a new outfit post on my blog after the looong hiatus. This outfit is what I wore during my mother's birthday dinner. I just went for simple and casual, what I always find comfortable to wear. This is probably one of my most predictable go-to outfits. I love how bandage/body con skirts are so easy to mix and match with any top! Aside from the fact that they are very comfortable to wear, skirts spell classy, elegance and feminism. Definitely number one on my fashion must-haves!

Huge credits to my father who was a great sport taking these photos of me on public! I love my family, my most priced possessions, they are the best people in the world! <3

Xoxo, Karla

Back in the day, people of the ancient times wear lipstick to hold a man's gaze and attract them. It has been thought that a woman wearing red lips are beautiful, that is why most women use red lipstick to draw a man's attention. Women became a temptress to men since then. 

The mullet top is inspired by the recent trend of tops with a shorter cut in the front than that of the longer cut at the back. A mullet top can be paired with jeans and shorts, but for a casual look, it can be best paired with a bandage/bodycon skirt. I've always loved floral prints, and this floral skirt gave an edge to the look.

Floral prints projecting feminism mediates with the red lips and nails, along with the sexy pointed stiletto, bringing a combination of aphrodisiac and feminism.

It was actually my first time working a photoshoot with "on the spot-acquainted" photographers :D

It all started when Celine Conanan invited me on a photoshoot with Anne Marielle Gantuangco. Without any hesitation I said yes! Little did I know, the photographers are Celine's cousins and I just knew that fact on the spot!

Upon arriving to the meeting area, I felt so shy when Celine said that her cousins are going to be the photographers. I was used to having photoshoots with friends and my good friend Jose Luis Pacquiao who is our barkada's official photographer.

Nevertheless, I had to face the situation :D 

I was really quite shy at first but eventually I had fun! Tron & Mike were very awesome in their passion for photography and they were really nice working with. They were really friendly and approachable. Overall, it was such a fun experience and the photos turned out really good! I can say that they are really good with the craft.

As an aspiring professional photographer myself, I really hope I could also improve my photography skills someday and have more photography equipment.

I hope I could post more photos soon! As soon as they're done editing :) These are only some of the shots we took on our photoshoot.

What do you think about the photos?

Breaking the rules is never the right thing to do. But sometimes we break the rules to gain something that is deserved. We do something wrong for something right. Prints on prints was never my choice of style, but this outfit post crashed that principle that I ended up loving my look.

I love how semi-sheer long sleeved polo tops are so comfortable to wear. Pairing it with denim shorts made the look a combination of classy & reckless. The animal print details accentuates to freedom.

These kinds of tops are one of my favorites as of the moment. It's nice and comfortable to wear yet classy and elegant at the same time.

Xoxo, Karla
