Some people can really get on one's nerves. They're like mosquitoes that, no matter how many times you shoo them away, they still insist on pestering you. And so there's no other solution left but to spray insecticide on them. But of course we can't do that with humans. I don't want to think about it anymore. Move on with happy thoughts...happy thoughts... Today I was hoping for the same cold weather as yesterday. Unfortunately it didn't come. But at least it was still cooler than what we normally have in this tropical country of ours. The office air conditioning was still cold, though, so the scarf (which I just recently bought from Bench) came in handy in the absence of a jacket. It's a simple outfit, actually, with the shoes being the only item that gives this ensemble some oomph. But then it's also a good thing to have just one statement piece while keeping everything else understated.

I woke up to a rainy Tuesday morning and was pleased with the considerable drop in temperature. The only problem was that I didn't want to get out of bed at all. But eventually I did. Today I'm wearing blue with brown. Pardon me for my insistence on brown because I simply am too lazy to change bags at the moment. So yes, my outfit is entirely anchored on my bag, which, ironically, I really don't get to photograph and include in my Project Look Book posts. While the blue worked perfectly in lighting up an otherwise gloomy day, the trench was a last-minute addition. I mentioned the temperature drop, so I expected the AC in the office to be colder than normal. And of course, I was right.

Halloween's just around the corner, and since October 31st is a holiday here, celebrations in the office will happen this Friday. I'm thinking about dressing up as Sheldon Cooper of The Big Bang Theory . Well, that's not much of a stretch except that I can't find a Flash t-shirt. I guess I'll just have to get that Green Lantern tee I saw. Anyway, today I'm wearing my metallic blue Anthony Nocom suit jacket, which I got with pants. It's already quite a statement in our work environment, so I toned it down with a black pullover and black pants, both from Zara. But I stepped it up again with my Pedro shoes. The necklace with the fish pendant is from an OTOP stall in Caltex along SLEX.

I overslept. Ironically, though, I arrived at the office quite early. So I suppose I'm off to a good start this week. Today I'm wearing my brown Yorkers jacket that we got from eBay. I originally wanted a pink shirt to got with it or something close to pink but had no luck. Apparently, my horizontal growth has been left unchecked because the ones I had in mind didn't fit me anymore. Yes, I'm fat. So I ended up with an old Topman shirt with brown pants and tie that are both from SM Department Store. The gold shoes are from Pedro.

There's not much to my look today. It's just a plain white shirt and brown pants, both from Dansen at SM Department Store. The only zing to it would probably be the shoes, which are from Pedro. I wasn't feeling well this morning but I managed to go to work after lunchtime. I was a bit swamped so I only had my photos taken earlier this evening. And I don't like it because the fluorescent office lighting is always not enough and I'm not a fan of using the built-in camera flash. We used the flash anyway.

I'm still on a Harry Potter high. And while all of Voldemort's horcruxes have been destroyed, I got myself one: It's My Bibe 's, actually. She gave it to me just last Friday because it keeps coming off even her middle finger already. It's made primarily of white gold contrasted with a small portion that's yellow gold. The kitty cat ring is so horcrux material, right? Already, an officemate was asking how it can be destroyed. I told her, only a shard from the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, Denmark can destroy it. Anyway, I wore a black shirt today from Tyler, paired with gray pants from Topman, and a pair of plaid shoes from Pedro. I felt like accessorizing, hence, the Aldo necklace and of course, the horcrux  ring. We tried shooting outside and it was abnormally very windy. The wind just kept flattening my hair! So this was what I could salvage:

I'm now entering the sixth month of my year-long narcissistic endeavor I call Project Look Book. I have to admit that sometimes it can be tiring, too. Like last night, I was swept with laziness so I picked the easiest clothes to iron. To somehow make up for that, I want to show you my wristwatch, which I've been wearing in a lot of my Look Book posts already but which has basically been hiding all along underneath the cuffs of whatever shirt I was wearing. Having a hard time figuring what the time is? It's around 9:22 in the morning when this was taken. Instead of having "hands," it's the dial (well, dials actually since there are three) itself that turns! Sweet, right? But what's even sweeter is that I got it at SM Department Store for only Php 499.50 (around $12)! It's definitely a cheap watch and yes, the materials are also obviously cheap upon closer inspection. But this watch has fooled quite a number of people already into thinking that it...

It's a new work week but my mind is still on vacation mode. I think there are some glitches in me that prevent me from switching modes automatically. Maybe it's the color of my skin that has so willingly been kissed by the Boracay sun. If the colors of my skin and my outfit today were words, they definitely rhyme! Today I wore a striped shirt from Paul Smith, light brown pants from SM Department Store, and shoes from Pedro. And this is how I look standing, by the way (not very happy):

Yahoo! I'm wearing new shoes today! They're from Pedro. Got them over the weekend at Bonifacio High Street in Makati while looking for a dry bag. Yes, the purchase was unplanned - an "accident" as I would like to call it. But I don't get to go to BHS that often, plus there ain't any other Pedro stores in Makati. At least I was able to restrain myself from getting another pair. And because the shoes are quite loud enough already, I kept everything else simple today with a pullover from Giordano and black pants that I got from Bangkok.

I look sleepy in this pic. But I really was when I had this taken this morning. It's Wednesday so I had to get up earlier than usual to beat the 7am time before I get apprehended for a traffic violation. Based on our car's plate number, Minitron (what we nicknamed our car) is banned from the streets every Wednesday from 7am to 7pm. (Yawn!) Today I'm wearing a knit pullover from Paul Smith, gray pinstripe pants that I got from Bangkok, metallic brown shoes from Pedro, and of course... ...my new Jeremy Scott for Swatch wrist watch, which I fondly call my new "wall clock ." True enough, my officemate, Leslie, called it a wall clock when she noticed it. Thanks to My Bibe of course.

I just realized the irony of my expression here against the seemingly gleeful shirt I'm wearing today, like I was forced out of bed or something. I feel like it's summer already with the floral and polka dot overlay. The fabric's also very thin, perfect for our still warm office. Got it from Oxygen. And for footwear, I'm going metallic today with these faux-alligator leather shoes from Pedro: The pants I got from SM. Eyeglasses, Kenneth Cole.
