As you can see, I have mastered the art of the averted face pose - just because I make all sorts of weird facial expressions when I look at the camera as evident in the 8th photo. I have always been drawn to people who take photos with blank faces and do it with considerable aplomb. I wonder if there's a trick to that, just like there's a trick in eating daintily (chew like you have a secret, which I have never bothered to master).
Anyhow, today I was expecting heavy dark clouds and full-blown typhoon. But much to my chagrin (and probably to the people at PAG-ASA), we were greeted with clear skies and a bright sunny morning this side of the Philippines.
What better way for a personal style blogger to bask in it than take photos? I sort of feel nostalgic now that I'm back at my old shooting spot. hee~ Whenever I go to Myk's place, this is where I take OOTD photos for my old blog with my deceased Samsung point and shoot camera.
I thought this summer dress was adorable when I saw it at the thrift store. The floral print and the rosette detail hooked me in. You can never own too many floral dresses, I consoled myself.
The pretty yellow button down top I used as inner garment was also thrifted. Myk used to loathe this thing with a passion (okay, I exaggerate) just because it reminds him of the Aquino administration. He was never a fan, so was I, but when it comes to pretty yellow clothes with puffed up sleeves and tiny floral details, I never discriminate.
I want to take this time to thank all those who have chosen to follow this blog. I thought I'd need to hold people at gun point before they'd agree to follow my blog, but clearly there are people who share the same mentality as mine! hehe. Kidding! But seriously, thank you guys.
And thank you for taking the time to read my gibberish. It makes me happy whenever someone comments on my writing style and not just the photos. Although I'm no Jessica Zafra, I do try to come up with whatever interesting post my limited faculties can muster. I can only wish I entertained you with the embellished versions of my dull existence. See, you guys? You shouldn't have egged my fondness for irony and sarcasm on because I love it and I totally thrive in it. And any unsuspecting victim might just stumble in and die by the adjective.
Okay now, enough fooling around. I'm off to check your blogs out. Perpetual weekend blogger signing off... :)
