It's A Casual Affair

Muaaah! 20 YORK STREET at Tuesday, February 15, 2011

Outfit details

Cashmere sweater - Banana Republic
Leopard print skirt - Costa Blanca
Beaded necklace - Banana Republic
Moto boots (not seen) - Old Navy

What and Where

Weekends are normally 'non-photographables' (I know, I just made that up) as I tend to lounge around make-up free in pjs, sweats or on good days, yoga wear (see below) but I didn't think that's something you'd be interested in, are you?

I didn't think so.

Then I thought about it, weekends are actually a great time to showcase sartorial choices that are a bit outside the box than my normal 9 to 5 outfits as those are always bounded by implied corporate culture. I can actually throw in fur, animal prints, boho, maxi skirts, rock 'n roll with moto jacket, skinny jeans and other types of clothing that I wouldn't wear to the office. So, here's my first attempt.

Do you like it? Is it blog worthy?

Do you have favourite outfits you only wear on the weekends too?

And don't even think I have forgotten about the Easiest Blog Project Ever! Almost 100 blogger friends signed up! Alright, 97 so we need 3 more and we can finally launch it! Got friends?

Pls. tell them!

Shybiker said...: Sweetie, you are SOOO adorable. Even climbing out of bed you must look cute. These pics are terrific.

While we enjoy work-outfits, it's as much fun to see playful clothes. Fashion can be creative and even wild, while the workplace clamps down on what we can wear, so please show us non-work outfits too.

I, obviously, exhibit my non-work clothes and usually dress up on weekends 'cause that's when I have free time to experiment. Let's play!; February 15, 2011 at 10:06 a.m.
Jen HaHA said...: Do it! You look beauteous as ever! That skirt is rock n' roll! Our work dress code has become more relaxed, but I tend to dress up more because lots of big wigs on our floor. I guess shorts and pjs are items I can't wear. And, you don't want to see me in them!

Mae Lu said...: BLOG MAKEOVER! YEA!!!!!

I honestly have no idea how to dress for the weekend other than sweats, big comfy sweaters and jeans. I sometimes wear more casual, edgy gear, but I always have the hardest time putting it together.

sugar sugar said...: ML you can understand tagalog right? during weekends i always tell my sisters i look like a "basang sisiw sa lansangan" or "yagit" hahaha! xD anyway your pictures look great! :)

by the way, i wouldn't recommend the AC line from skin 79. i have tried the products long enough and i don't see any difference on my skin. x( i'm still looking for great products worth recommending and i think i have some candidates yayy!!! will let you know when i tried these long enough. :3 in the meantime, i suggest you use face masks. LOL! i just used one right now and it made my skin brighter and softer. ;); February 15, 2011 at 1:03 p.m.
