I like to call myself fashionable. Not fashion model/designer type of fashionable, just out of ordinary fashionable. I recently joined two fashion blog websites, Chictopia and Lookbook, except I'm more active in CT than LB. I'm trying to work my way into Style Council. Hopefully I'll be able to achieve that in a few months. This new hobby helped me explore more styles and new combinations of my clothes. It's very challenging and exciting at the same time. I've developed a need to take full body pictures of myself when I like what I'm wearing, which is often. Here are some samples:
Obviously I'm still a newbee with noob shots and poses. Super fail ako! But I do believe I'll improve over time. I've also been active in their forums and I particularly liked answering this one question.
How has your style changed?
I started to dress up in high school. I always watched TV and read magazines to keep up with the trends, nothing permanent yet. I got to explore more in college, and finally discovered my own personal style after I started working. I’m so thankful that we’re allowed to wear casual wear to work. That means I’m allowed to wear ANYTHING I want, minus my shorts and short skirts. I’m obsessed with prints which I sometimes attribute to my wanting to stand out. I hate boring and dull clothes and colors. After I started working, my closet was suddenly overflowing with printed tops and dresses. I eventually realized that I needed to balance out my wardrobe with basics and I’m still in the process of completing my basics-to-buy list. I usually go for girly dresses and I have this mini-fetish with exposing too much legs. My personal style would be mostly a nice dress or something eye-catching and stylish at the top paired with shorts or skirts. Lately I’ve been obsessing over boots because of the rainy weather, but usually I complete my outfit with nice wedge shoes. :)
