Comebacking styles take me back to my younger days

I can't believe it. Most of today's fashion styles are repeating themselves.

Wide-legged or Palazzo Pants

Cropped Tees

Loose shirts (or what people now call Boyfriend shirts)

Espadrilles

(I remember getting them from the old Whistle Stop store in Makati and they were imported directly from Spain)

I've never thought of myself as stylish. I just really know what I want and regardless of whether it's in fashion or not, when I know I look good in something, I'll put it on.

Here are a few things, however, that I'm sure will never ever go out of fashion :


The classic white shirt
This one's from The Gap. But there are many other brands that carry good quality white shirts now. Mine are from Zara, Mango and Banana Republic.

The classic white tee
They're the most comfortable and versatile piece of clothing I own. I have them in branded and unbranded ones. My favorites are from The Gap, Old Navy, Forever 21, Zara and Mango. Among the local brands, I've found really good ones from HerBench, Folded and Hung, Bayo and even from online sellers in Facebook.


Skinny jeans and cigarette pants
I'm praying to God that I can forever get away with wearing these. I'm blessed with stick thin legs so right now, I'm okay. I can't live without them, really. I also have skinny trousers. I have a plethora of these from both local and imported brands. As long as the fit is right, I grab!

Ballet Flats
The number one reason I love them? They go with everything!
Shorts, jeans, skirts, dresses (sheath or circle), trousers ... blah blah blah.

Honestly, I don't know how many pairs I have. My most noteworthy ones are from Steve Madden, Gucci, Salvatore Ferragamo, Nine West, The Gap, Old Navy. I even have a few pairs from local stores like Shoebox and Ichigo. I'm forever in love with ballet flats.

Yves Saint Laurent said : Fashions fade, style is eternal. If I were to take that statement seriously (and I do), I would interpret it to mean that it doesn't matter whether you follow current trends or not. Style is inborn. You either have it or you don't.
Once you have it, nobody can take it away from you.

It's almost the weekend. Have a productive Thursday everyone!

Another shoe haven : D&C Trends

Argh...when will these people stop selling shoes??? I keep looking at this site. In fact, I look at their albums every single day to see what's new. I'm not sure where the shoes come from, I think mostly from the US. The prices aren't bad either.

The sad part (especially for shoe whores like moi who insist on getting what they want NOW NOW NOW) is you need to wait a while --- like a month or 2 --- for orders to arrive. The upside? No downpayment. Just pay when you're notified of your orders' availability. Look at some of the pairs I would love to purchase from them:

Ankle-strap Wedge Espadrilles - I like the black or red one

Silver Slingbacks - I'd get this for a formal function


Patent Peeptoes - these shoes make me want to go back to work! I love the stacked heels, so perfect with my wideleg work trousers and knee-length straight skirts.

I can't include my favorite ballet flats in this entry because they have too many styles that I like.  Their prices aren't bad for imported shoes, I don't think there's a pair that costs over PHP2000 in their line-up.  But I'm in no position to do any kind of shopping right now so I just have to salivate in the meantime, while waiting for DH to make that much-needed deposit to my pathetic bank account haha!
