I'm a white tee & jeans kinda gal

After wearing corporate outfits 5 out of 7 days for more than 2 decades, I've seriously gotten tired of it. I'm so glad I now get the chance to wear whatever I want, whether it's a weekday or not. When it comes to casual wear, I'm definitely a denim person. Shorts, pants or a mini skirt. Anything, as long as it's denim.

Here's a typical everyday get-up for me ...

Jeans from The Gap (straight cut but I like to make them look like boyfriend jeans minus the super loose fit), Tom's Glitter in black, printed canvas belt from Old Navy and a super comfy white t-shirt which I bought online for *drumroll* P250.00. Nylon tote from Marc by Marc Jacobs w/c I got from the flagship store in HK.

Even when I was still a working Mom, I refused to wear heels on weekends. Reason being, I was in heels the entire week and I wanted my feet to get that much-deserved respite. Being a stay-at-home Mom/part time consultant has allowed me the luxury of not wearing heels at all. I'm not sure I can still pull them off.

Note : this white shirt is so comfortable. I've had it washed a few times and it still looks like I just bought it. Makes me wanna go back to the seller and get a couple more colors. She has them in about 7 or 8. Check her out in Facebook, do a search for Fashion Dime.

Hope everyone's having a good week so far!

Skinny Flares

I've never liked flared jeans. First of all, I don't think I would look good in them. My legs are really thin and there's something about those wide hems that don't quite attract me. I have wide-legged trousers and those are fine, probably because of the material.

Skinny jeans are more my thing. Eversince this trend started, I've purchased quite a number for myself...from the unbranded/inexpensive, to local brands like Bayo, Lee and Jag to my pairs from Topshop (the Baxter skinnies are great...they just loosen up a bit after a few washes).

Fashion icon Kate Moss recently started wearing skinny flares and in fact, I think these are part of her collection for Topshop. I've been so intrigued about them. I'm actually half and half about buying a pair of these because of the flared ankles. Kate looks great in them though...

I like the ones on the left, mainly because they're more skinny than flared. The ones on the right are over the top for me.

Victoria Beckham's is a real glamorous take on the skinny flares. The wide belt did a lot to add that extra "oomph" to her outfit. But Paris Hilton's jeans are not for me...they're too "schoolgirl" for my taste.

The minute I have time I'm gonna run off to the nearest Topshop branch to see if skinny flares look good on me. Where to get the budget to buy them? Aaahhh...that is the million dollar question hehe!

I want white jeans!

Seems like I've been searching for the perfect pair of white jeans forever!

This is the only thing I need to complete my humble jeans collection. I can't live without jeans. I can wear them everyday, rain or shine. But I'm very particular about their fit, the size of the pockets, the width of the hem (I prefer straight or skinny nowadays), the rise --- heck, everything!

I don't know how many pairs of white jeans I've seen and tried. Sadly, I haven't been very lucky. I thought I found what I was looking for sometime last year when skinnies became a hit. Giordano came out with their version of the skinny jeans and I was told they had it in white. So I ran to the nearest branch as soon as I had time and tried on a pair. I left the store feeling frustrated because the fit wasn't quite what I expected and wanted. I kinda gave up on my search for a while because it was just too difficult to find what I was looking for.

Until I came upon these photos in People.com

My favorite is the one that Kate Middleton is wearing. They look just right. Hillary Duff's is a bit too tight and J.Lo's trousers are to wide (but I love her top!). Oh well...and the search goes on. I hope I find my ideal pair really soon.
