LOOKBOOK | 02Jan2015: Mr Slouchy Pants

a20150102_180424

My first outfit post of the year! I never really intended to do one but since I was bored out of my wits at the salon, I asked Kwittiegirl to take a few shots of me with my phone. Plus it was as if the chandelier and the red orange walls were urging me to get on at it.

Red orange walls and chandelier make for a perfect setting for some photos, right?

It was a typical laid-back no-work day for me, so I wore these drop-crotch joggers I got recently. Yes, I've been bitten by the sweatpants bug that I want more of these comfy pieces, much so since more and more styles have been cropping up in stores that I can afford.

Pairing it with a tee is a no-brainer and sneakers would be your de facto footwear with this type of pants. But like that time when I tried wearing boots with joggers, I experimented with some loafers this time. I'm also particularly fond of this pair because I can't believe they're so cheap at only Php 1,600 (approx. USD35)! They're also locally made in Marikina, according to the saleslady, so it's a plus that somehow I get to support local shoemakers. I sure want more of these.

Proudly Philippine made.

Anyway, this was what boredom made me do.

Do I look tough enough or what?

No trace of boredom, eh?

LOOKBOOK | Barong Tagalog and sneakers for 'Buwan ng Wika'

Image
Looking oh, so dignified here. Although the celebrations are normally concentrated in elementary schools, August is Buwan ng Wika (Language Month) in the Philippines. Along with dressing up in various traditional Filipino costumes, schools usually hold programs and contests showcasing the national language and traditional Filipino songs and dances. Our department decided to join in the fun by designating a special day yesterday where everyone was required to wear a traditional Filipino costume reinterpreted for modern times. Two years ago when we first held this event, I found myself wearing an ethnic-designed shirt with a malong . This year I decided on a Barong Tagalog , considered our national formal wear for men. But no one wants to go all formal on a Friday, so I wore my Barong Tagalog with sneakers . I thought, if a full-on suit works just fine with sneakers, a barong would be just as perfect with this type of footwear.

FRAGRANCE | Green Cedar EDT by Bench: An environmentally-conscious offering from the Philippines' premier retail brand

Image
A few weeks ago, I found myself wandering inside Bench Powerplant Mall. And what else would catch my eye but two fragrances by their lonesome twosome, positioned far away from the rest of the brand's scent offerings. They're Basil & Neroli and Green Cedar , both EDTs and part of the  Bench Better Made line . The frags are purported to be vegan and cruelty-free. They come in 125ml dark brown glass bottles and brown paper cylindrical boxes. Nice packaging there except for the cheap, plastic cap. No big deal, though, since they're just Php 428 apiece.

FRAGRANCE | Rajo Uno EDT by Bench: An inexpensive local gem

Image
Philippine retail giant Bench has been many a high schooler's go-to shop for cheap colognes, myself included. And even during my college years, Bench has remained a staple. I remember  Bench Ei8ht was very popular with many people back then although my favorites were their body sprays Cielo and L'Amoureux . Through the years their roster of fragrances has only grown by leaps and bounds, with a lot of them made in collaboration with celebrities and fashion designers like Rajo Laurel .
