Stole 'Em From The Boyfriend

Jeans & Heels: Zara / Blazer: Thrifted / Bag: Alexander Wang / Bracelet & Ring: Arm Party Manila / Earrings: Accessorize / Watch: Casio

From time to time, I like to dress like a man (but in a womanly way, of course). And to dial up the androgyny in a menswear-inspired look, I refer to oversized pieces of clothing (a.k.a. "boyfriend" anything). I've mentioned in a couple of posts ago that I'm rekindling my love for blazers -- in the large, boyfriend's type versions. And for me, the best place to find this type of garment without blowing up the wallet is the thrift store. I've unearthed a lot of unique diamonds-in-the-rough in my past visits to thrift stores... which reminds me, I haven't been to an ukay-ukay in a long time so I think I need to hit one up soon.

What cherished pieces have you dug up from thrift stores?

Low Key

 Jacket: thrifted / Top & Boots: Topshop / Shorts: Wrangler / Bag: SM Accessories / Sunglasses & Jewelry: Arm Party Manila

Once again, I apologize for the erratic posts. I was busy working on different things and I also just spent the past weekend in my favorite summer spot, La Union (if you're following me on Instagram, you would've probably seen my updates whilst I was enjoying big time in the northern surf central). Beach trips always call for low-key dressing, hence the casual ensemble comprised of my trusty Wrangler denim shorts (wore this the whole time while lounging on the beach, frolicking in the sand and pigging out -- haha!), a pair of worn-in boots, a bomber jacket (in case it got chilly at night), an ethnic-print rucksack which I got from the men's section of SM Accessories (this bag was able to carry all of my knick-knacks...and then some!) and cool eyewear and accessories swag from Arm Party Manila.

For the regular readers of this blog, you're probably tired of seeing numerous posts about my trips to La Union but I'm still gonna share photos anyway because I love that place so much. A photodiary is coming out soon. You've been warned. Haha!
