tshirt, Bench TMP H on shopee PH; skirt, @hipstip on the 'gram
Yep. I'm still obsessed with this Puma running hat/cap.
Oh and I never really noticed or realized it until now but I have this shirt in two different colors I' suddenly considering getting it in other colors. Mine's in this white one (I'm also currently wearing now as I'm finishing, tying this blog entry up) and in some sort of charcoal, deep gray shade. This shirt is currently available in khaki and red in the link above.
I don't know... One can never have one too many solid colored tshirts and in my case, the white tshirts, I think? I'm your regular very basic but lately flirting with printed stuff on and off girl so you'll know white tshirts are my thing along with white (ribbed) tank tops. This is me so much so that I'm considering getting more Hanes tshirts in the oversized large ish men's (or unisex) size along with their basic undies from Cotton Plus NCR (on Shopee PH) when I get to Metro Manila the week after next so we'll see...
Inasmuch as I love these soft tees from Bench TM PH and the SoEn ones, nothing just beats good old Hanes tshirts and Fruit of the Loom ones for me. These two really last the longest in my closet so it's cool that I have a source for this I can get behind so yep.
gladiator-esque wedges, shopee PH (store already off of it, sadly); socks, City Lady (similar here via Lazada PH) via Savemore Capistrano St., CDO/CdeO
I'm not entirely sure why Shopee PH doesn't have City Lady which is my go-to brand of socks thanks to this valentines' day-ey pair over here...hmn... It's fine. It's not like they're my only source for socks I like. I get mine everywhere and yesterday, I was able to get 2 for Php 59 and Php 79 per pair from BenchTM Ph in Ayala Centrio. I got kinda lucky. I think I'm only buying from both BenchTM PH and Penshoppe when there are sales online or especially offline, lol.
I tried to hop off the BenchTM PH train some time ago because their undies don't really last as long with me, SoEn Ph still is on trial for me for how long it'll last and if it'll last longer than my BenchTM PH stuff... I think the most I'd had BenchTM Ph stuff last for me is...3 years? Which is good enough, I guess. It's just the pretty good sales that got me to go back.
BenchTM PH and Penshoppe here are the 2 chain stores that have been competing with one another since forever ago. I volley between the two but at the same time, I'm really not THAT into them most of the time. I dunno why that is the case but yeah... I think most of their designs just really weren't...me. But lately, I feel like Penshoppe has the edge from BenchTM PH because of their minimalist, sporty style and their really comfy linen stuff. Seriously, if you want to know what they're all about rn, get to their stores and you'll be mind blown by their shirts' prints etc. I'm currently contemplating two things from them rn because they have a sale going on today...
Penshoppe Straight Fit Linen Pull-On Trousers for Men (Camel/Gray/Navy Blue/Off White) via Penshoppe PH on Shopee PH
I'm currently eyeing this one in gray but at the same time, I think I'm just in deep need of thrifting therapy. I don't need anything new aside from maybe something from Stitch it By J&C so idk yet...hmn... I'll mull over it some more.
I'm also mulling over their undies/panties that are on sale rn because one can never really have enough of those...? They're an essential along with socks and others.
Penshoppe Core Classic Bikini Panty with Tonal Waistband for Women (Navy Blue/Rust) via Penshoppe PH on Shopee PH
Shopee PH, yes, that orange shopping app, seriously has the better deals for me than shopping in store for some reason. This is why you will very rarely see me looking around malls these days. I actually dislike malls for some reason...? I dunno. Something about me just irk them and I prefer being outdoors more than being in malls...or well, since I'm a homebody most days then, just being at home is better for me than being at the malls. Lol.
I think I'm better off just saving up to get a pair of ankle boots from a brand I'm looking into on Shopee PH. They're Doc Martens-esque but locally made and infinitely more affordable than the internationally marketed ones and they're just as good. I always can vouch on the locally made stuff to last long anyway.
baby tshirt, girl almighty on shopee PH; skirt, @hipstip on the 'gram
Wedged flipflops, Angel Maria Shoe Market on Shopee PH
tshirt, tsaya CDO/CdeO on the 'gram and around Cagayan de Oro City; boxer shorts, thrifted/second hand from the favorite thrift store in Divisoria, CDO/CdeO
Tsaya CDO/CdeO is currently having a pop up in Limketkai Center/Mall so if you're into their stuff at all, go check them out there.
The malls are just so chaotic for me lately I'm trying to avoid them as much as possible. It might also be because it's the start of the -ber months and usually August is the CDO/CdeO fiesta month so yep... It feels so much hotter and more humid being out in the mall because of how many people there are there lately. It can get suffocating at certain times. Introvert me just can't...somehow over there.
skirt, thrifted Gap Kids from another favorite thriftstore but in Cogon Market CDO/CdeO from 2 or 3 years ago; PUMA running cap from PUMA PH on Lazada PH
orchid print totebag, Anik Anik on the 'gram
I think I'm in my orchid era lately though my favorite flower is and always has been, the hibiscus. Tropical hibiscus. You know that because the yet to be launched gram shop's logo is this. Haha.
My only qualm about this totebag is that it's not big enough for me to use it out on the daily. I'm known to carry a ton of things so big bags are really my thing nowadays.
sleeveless top, thrifted Lucky Brand from the favorite thrift shop in Divisoria CDO/CdeO; capris leggings (sadly, it's out in L and XL in this brown shade here) from Miggy's Apparel on Shopee PH; totebag, The SM Store (or shopSM online here) at MOA (the Mall of Asia) from May this year
Capri pants, leggings are my thing lately. They're basically an obsession, fixation at this point. They're pretty much most I thrift and I get online though my pants, full pants and jeans collection are regrowing again...? Idk, I just don't really wear enough pants and jeans but I guess you'll see me with them on from time to time these days. It depends on how hot and humid it is here and what occasion/s I can wear these things to.
I've been eyeing these things from Miggy's Apparel on Shopee PH now and they did not disappoint. I'm thinking of getting the grey checkered ones next or the rust ones or both but I dunno yet.
Bike shorts and capris leggings/pants are definitely my almost daily uniform now. Heh.
socks from Zea Picks Minimall in Divisoria (here on the 'gram) from a year or two ago
Before we fully end this post, here are my quick takeaways:
1. I've never really changed. I still like the basics the most: white tshirts.
I may be going the printed way lately with some basic bottoms but at the core, I'm still your basics basic girlie. I just love my basics and oh, Hanes tshirts and Fruit of the Loom ones are a staple thing for me just because... I still wear my small Hanes ts from years and years ago, graduate school in Dumaguete City era until now.
2. I loooovee capri pants, leggings.
These are totally like, just a tiny step towards full length pants and jeans and they're just apt for Philippines' lately very rainy afternoons and hot and humid most days weather/tropical climate.
I still love my skirts and still can't get enough of them along with dresses but capris pants and leggings are also my go-tos now. What else? Oh and I'm slowly transitioning back into longer tees though I also love the baby tees. We'll see how this goes...hmn...
Anyway, if you want to see how others style capris pants, leggings, you should look up Isabella Vrana. She has her own line and I'm obsessed with her slinky stuff and capri and full length trouser pants, I'm just sad it's only in London, Europe, still and I don't think she's done any Asian pop up yet...sadly. I'd love for her to do one here in South East Asia.
And that's the end for this post.
The next one will be a separate one for Stitch It by J & C because I feel like lately, most of my wardrobe is from them. Haha.
