Most of the items worn here are thrifted and the outfits may more or less be like, a combination of vintage/thrifted/second hand and new. Oh...and mostly local brands sprinkled here and there.
I may have achieved that wardrobe that's a healthy mix of both which is...pretty good. ....for me, anyway.
tshirt, @Tsaya CDO; skirt, @closetreco ph on the 'gram; tote bag, the SM Store at the Mall of Asia/MOA; ankle boots, thrifted/secondhand Buffalo (just here in CDO); running cap, Puma PH; sunglasses, I don't really remember anymore...heh...gifted by the bff?
I mentioned in the week+ -long Metro Manila trip diary from last, rather early May this year that I got myself a tote bag from SM Store that I needed because I was getting sick of my Kipling crossbody I used daily and it's this one pictured here. I'm a sucker for cream, yep. Anything cream, white, yellow, oh and brown lately, I'd go gaga for.
Wedges, Marikina made from Shopee PH (shop has been banned from there for some reason, it's annnoying); socks, Zea Picks (on the 'gram but I got this in their) Mini Mall from eons ago
Changed footwear here just because I was trying to see what works best with the 'fit and quickly found that both the thrifted/second hand ankle boots and this pair of wedges work well especially with this pair of psyduck socks. If you're into the old OG Pokemon with Ash, Misty and all, you'd know.
It's annoying when a shop selling stuff you like get banned from a shopping, selling platform, app just because of some policy changes. ....even if the policy changes are for the good of, especially the sellers (it's tax related). A lot of those I like from the orange shopping app have gone and likely mostly facebook-only now because of this and I have to scramble these days to find replacement ones just because...well...poof...they're gone from said shopping app. It's like you like to support local a lot but the universe just won't let you do this.
Here are some replacement wedges I'm looking into instead once I feel like I've worn this pair to death and I seem to be doing so with the amount I wear this thing out a lot these days:
(Marianne) Wedge Marikina Made Sandals (WITH FREE RANDOM SMOCKING ADUL WOMEN PLUS SIZE) WOMEN'S FOOT via benitocj tiangge ng taytayeno on Shopee PH
(ZAIREN) Marikina Wedge Strap High Heeled Sandals good quality and korean style via benitocj tiangge ng taytayeno on Shopee PH - this is probably the closest to this pair plus it seems the strap is velcro-locked
I'm currently keeping tabs of this one in yellow because I can't get enough of yellow anything these days...especially footwear, lol:
MiMi RUDU Marikina Wedge Heels Sandals 2.5 inch Style for Women Fashion (YX066) via mimi dot ph on Shopee PH
I'm not sure if this is May or June but anyway, yep this is 1.5 of what could have been 2 outfits, I guess...
I'm looking to get more of these in the next few days, kind of, well, just one anyway since a friend and I in metro manila are looking to get them with a different design (cat-related, hehe).
Tsaya CDO makes comfortable shirts and is a local company/small business here in Cagayan de Oro City. If you're looking for really locally-made souvenirs or for stuff to give to friends and family, then this is where you go for those.
Tsaya CDO is in Chouettes Collections in Hayes Street as I mentioned above...if you want to check their stuff out in store. They also do pop ups so keep tabs on announcements on that one on their Instagram. You can also get some shirts, pouches, tote bags and more customized by them by just direct messaging their 'gram. My friend and I are doing the latter later for their cat-print shirts they used to have way back.

This was a random hang with myself and a good friend in Ayala Centrio, Cagayan de Oro City. I'm a sucker for HK style milk tea lately so you'll often see me drinking or carrying a container/tall glass of Macao Imperial Tea House's classic milk tea whenever I'm out in this area. This was some days before Father's Day, if I remember that right because I bought my dad something from Tsaya CDO that was having a pop up there that time.
Tank top (sold out on both site/s, shopping apps: Shopee PH and Lazada PH), Leisure Supply (Shopee PH); Skirt, thrifted/second hand from @hipstip on the 'gram; bag, thrifted/second hand from the favorite thrift shop here in CDO; running hat/cap, Puma Ph (Zalora PH); shoes, Marshalls somewhere by Oakley in NorCal
If you're looking for a running cap/hat from Puma Philippines similar to this one, I got this on sale at Lazada Ph when I got back from the US two years ago or so and it's likely sold out, here's something similar that's kind of expensive, still, but maybe just wait out until the orange shopping app has sales days and until you can get free shipping and additional discount vouchers to get it at a better price/deal:
PUMA Unisex Light Weight Running Hat via Puma PH on Shopee PH // PUMA Unisex Lightweight Running Hat via Puma PH on Lazada PH // PUMA Lightweight Running Cap in fizzy lime via Puma PH on Zalora PH // PUMA Lightweight Running Cap in puma white via Puma PH on Zalora PH
I dunno. Something about the running caps, hats from Puma PH just get me. They're affordable, they are also lightweight so they form to your (my) head fine and they also aren't heavy to carry around, attached or snapped to bags.
If I'm buying a new one to replace this one with or at least have something to alternate this one with, I'd be getting the lightweight running cap in likely...white. I'm not a huge fan of the green shade/color but we'll see... I may just need time warming up to it yet. I'll wait until any of the three platforms/shopping apps, sites from has sales going on 'til I decide to bite on anything linked here yet.

I may or may not sell this pair of rompers. I have a love hate-relationship with it so watch out for it to come onto my ebay or decluttering 'gram account, @declutteringmywardrobe091787, the soonest I can post it there.
romper, @fufcollection on the 'gram; I'm not entirely sure where I got this kimono from...it could be from @underneath the sheet or @jcpclothingshop and both are on the 'gram for PH shoppers like yours truly; suede bag is thrifted/second hand Benetton from the favorite thrift shop in Divisoria here, Cagayan de Oro City
This was one day in May (or early June? I don't remember) and I was running around for some errands then decided to change into something else for some late afternoon to early evening work in the Bean Park Cafe's uptown CDO branch. I highly recommend going here if you'd like open air anything and decent wifi connection to go with your food/snacks/breakfast and drinks... Personally, I'm someone who can stay here for like, maybe a whole day or so. Haha.
cami top, @jcpcothingshop on the 'gram; skirt, thrifted in Cogon Market from two years ago or so Uniqlo (more on this later, below); I don't remember where I got this hoodie from...I think I got it from one of the thrift stores I follow stalk on Shopee PH/that orange shopping app, lol
I have issues with buying Uniqlo anything new. I think I would buy some basics on sale but beyond that, I wouldn't even go during their sales because even then, sale or not, they are and always will be expensive. Whoever says Uniqlo isn't expensive should really rethink their choices in clothing and all and I'm pretty sure most of their stuff is still made in China anyways.
That said, I don't mind finding classic Uniqlo anything at the thrift like this shirt as long as it's versatile and its, well, functional and at a cheaper price than when you buy anything from this brand in store.
....so no, you won't catch me shopping from Uniqlo at any time, whatsoever unless I really need to.
I also have issues with this cami top. It's really cute but it's made of 100% polyester so I dunno. Idk if I'll get rid of it or keep it or... ....we'll see... It might appear on my decluttering 'gram too with the one romper above one day.

That's it for part 1 of this post. Stay tuned for part 2 coming in the next few days. I'll have it drafted and for the rest of these and some, more timely 'fits updates, you can check out the 'gram, @crysta0917. :) That account and this space is where I keep a diary of 'fits so if you like them enough to follow me anywhere, feel free to follow me on both platforms.
