Here's what I wore yesterday for the BDJ event and for a group meeting at the Fort. 

It's fairly simple. I wore a red ribbed tank top and a black frilly vest.

The tribal necklace made it kinda interesting.  It's my sister's actually. She bought it from Bangkok but I ended up owning it cause she said it was 'too much' for her. She said it would only be wearable for 'bloggers'. Well, what can I say, my sister is the epitome of practicality and simplicity.

 On the other note, thank goodness I have my emergency flats with me or else I wouldn't have survived all the sneaky running in the rain! So thank you again, emergency fashion fairy godmother (whoever you might be) for reminding me to bring extra flats.

Fortune Teller

I look like a fortune teller. 

Well if I don't look like one, the turban makes me believe that I do. Blame the turban! 

This is what I wore on the drive home from Tagaytay to Manila. It was insanely hot outside but cause I'm always odd/weird, I still opted to wear a long sleeved top and jeans. That wasn't even the end of the story! I even wore a turban! I only realize it now how crazy I was. The people that I came across with were wearing shorts, tank tops and summer dresses and here I was wearing an all warm outfit as if it's winter.

P.S. We're planning to put up a The Bling Project  physical store real soon! We're now on a store location hunt so if you guys have any location suggestions, leave a comment below or send an email to theblingproject@yahoo.com. I and the 'bling blings' would really appreciate it. 

Monday Traffic Rush

Who here hates the dreadful traffic in Manila during Mondays? Raise your hand up!

I wasn't surprised when I heard that Manila was named the 3rd worst city for driving. As much as I want to whine, rant and blame the government, I know it wouldn't change anything. Our country's dilemma in traffic congestion can't be solved overnight so I guess I should start getting used to 5am wake up calls just so I can make it to my 7:30am class. At least I can always witness the beautiful sunrise almost every single morning. And that's what I call looking at the bright side! haha 

So basically, this what I wore to school today. We had a presentation for our management class so we had to dress up in our business attire. I chose a dark slate green button-down blouse paired with a sienna pencil skirt. I was using my black bag from Naraya the entire week, last week and I was in a such a hurry awhile ago that I didn't bother changing into a different bag. Surprisingly enough, my top, skirt and bag has the same color palette with my wedges -- orangey brown, dark green and black. Cool beans!
