Got to wear my new shoes today. In a vapid attempt at justifying my purchase, I always say "It's meant to be" to somehow ease the guilt that comes with shelling out money. And this is why I say that this pair was meant to be: I originally spotted them at Prima Linea in Greenbelt 3, which were also available in another color but I loved this one better. Unfortunately, they didn't have it in my size, so maybe it was not meant to be, I thought. A week later while I was in Cebu, I saw them at a Linea Store in Ayala Center -- and they had it in my size! Meant to be after all!

I started the week tired rather than refreshed. I don't know, I had a relaxing weekend with My Bibe in Tagaytay but the mere thought of Monday has somehow erased all of it instantaneously. Now enough with the rambling and on with today's outfit. It's a floral ensemble today. Very summery, you might say but it is perennially summer here in the Philippines. While autumn has already fallen on many parts of the world, we have it uncomfortably hot back here. And even the few rain showers that visit us don't do much at all to cool us down. You'll notice me with a bag in this post. I realized I haven't been including bags in my photos. Well, that's mainly because I normally have my pictures indoors instead of on the streets (I don't have that much time). Today I thought, what the heck, I'm gonna carry my bag with me! The bag's Topman, a gift from the love of my life, My Bibe . I really like it and I actually have been using it since Friday....

The string of rainy days finally came to a halt today. And while it's been bright and sunny outside, the air conditioning in the office was unusually cold today -- and I loved it! I know there are people who disagree or who are just not into it, but today's outfit is a black and brown combination. Yes, I dared. And truth be told, it's not really an issue for me, this black with brown thing. The black pullover is from Giordano, the brown pants from Dansen at SM Department Store, and the brown leather lace-ups are from Zara. The light brown jacket is a really old one. The tag says "Hallway," and I remember I got it from such a store in Market! Market!   The necklace is Aldo. See more photos after the jump.
