Our dear fluffy pants Kwittie Boy here just wants to be in the frame. Ironically when he's the one being photographed, he does not cooperate. So I take it that he's just messing with my OOTD shots. Oh cats. Anyway, I tried inching myself closer to wearing corporate attire to work again. Though I didn't fully commit to it on my first try by ditching the tie ( Wow, that rhymed! ), I managed two days this week with a necktie. Today, however, it's a bow.

New Year's seemed not too long ago yet here we are, down with the first month of the year already. And I'm in a rather formal mood for a sendoff to January. It's the french cuffs. I don't see a lot of shirts with such cuffs, at least among those that I can easily afford ( Thankfully, I found this Rajo Laurel for Wharton piece! ). It can get really frustrating because almost everything has buttons.

Congratulations to Ms Angola for winning the Miss Universe title! And to our Ms Philippines, Shamcey Supsup, 3rd runner-up ain't that bad at all! So congratulations still! It was another sunny day today. For the second straight day, we shot with nothing but sunlight gleaming through the glass panels at the office. And my, oh my, have I been loving it! It's a purple and blue ensemble today. The shirt's Paul Smith while the pants are from Sahara at SM Department Store. Predictable, but I wore brown shoes from Aldo. However, instead of the usual leather belt to go with an outfit like this, I picked a rather informal one from Celio, just to make things a little different. A colleague noticed the stitching details on my shirt; "running stitch," she exclaimed. And so started a conversation that involved backstitches, chain stitches, and the like. Anyhow, though I'm not really fond of the shirt's fit (a tad too loose that I have to keep tucking it rep...

I just realized I put Monday instead of Tuesday in this post's title, so I corrected it. Having Monday a holiday makes you think Tuesday is Monday because the week has just started. And one good thing about it? The week is shorter! I'm wearing cufflinks today! A tie bar came with them to form a set, an old gift from My Bibe. I really would want to wear cufflinks more often but I only have a few shirts made for them. Of course it's not that hard to find shirts with french cuffs but they're usually found in the more upscale stores (at least here in the Philippines). I just hope that I can find more of them from stores that are within my reach, financially that is. The pink shirt is from Merger, one of my go-to stores for corporate attire. Notice the fabric and all its details. The brown pants are from Memo, and the shoes, Aldo. The tie, I just picked up at SM Department Store.
