The Bund

Hi, guys! Do you still remember me? Did any of you miss me? I hope you did! *doing the Puss In Boots pleading-eyes look* Haha! I really apologize for being such a nasty blogger lately. Admittedly though, blogging had to take a backseat so that I can work on a newfound passion and necessity, of which I've touched on here. But finally, here's a long overdue outfit post from my Shanghai trip last year (it's so overdue that it's coming off as an eon late!). These photos were taken along The Bund, a waterfront boardwalk overlooking the beautiful Shanghai cityline and Huang Pu River. All of the outfits I packed for Shanghai were unfussy and were all about comfort and coverage, to keep me warm from the cold weather. The weather during our stay in Shanghai is quite comparable to the chilly weather we're currently experiencing in the Philippines -- perfect for donning thick trousers and light layers. I hope the weather here stays like this for much longer. I wouldn't mind wrapping myself in leather jackets and comfy sweaters on a daily basis.

P.S. Yes, my feet are huge. Don't judge. :P

Le Paris

Sweater: Choies / Jeans: Zara / Shoes: ASOS / Bag: Celine / Necklace: Mauve / Eyewear: from Shanghai

Our last day in Shanghai was spent roaming around Nanjing People's Square (which was conveniently situated behind our hotel) and hoarding all of the sweets my leftover yuan could buy from Hershey's Chocolate World. Just beside our hotel was this lovely strip of coffee shops which somehow reminded me of Paris (although I haven't been anywhere near Paris) and it seemed like a perfect backdrop to compensate my casual sweatshirt-over-jeans look. Believe it or not, all of the clothes I brought with me to Shanghai were overly casual and I only packed one pair of sneakers for our 4-day trip. Yes! You "heard" that right! Just one pair of shoes! And I survived! When I went to Seoul last year, I made a stupid decision of wearing heeled boots to ALL of our walking trips (as seen HERE). Those boots nearly killed my feet! I've learned my lesson from that trip though and chose comfort over fashion for a meet & greet with Shanghai. So for the succeeding Shanghai outfit posts, expect to see Ms. Burgundy Sneakers again.

P.S. Watch out for my Shanghai photo diary too, to be posted soon.
