Once upon a Wednesday morning...

     the sun is up and bright in Sengkang (as always) and I can't help but put my shades on (Haha). I don a messy bun to keep my hair up and neat, grabbed a couple of sandals, paired it with a light fringe clutch (which can only accommodate my EZ link card, a lipstick, a pack of blotting paper, two phones, some cash and nothing else) and voila! As simple as that my summer wardrobe is re-lived! 

What do you think about this look?

The heat is undeniably unstoppable today (I mean both the weather and the NBA team! I'm an OKC fan by the way! Pfft! Haha) and all of a sudden it felt like it's summer in the Philippines again! (Yes, perks of living in a tropical country). In a 32°C city it's hard to imagine wearing a clothing piece that is not well-ventilated and literally cooling. Same goes with choosing an accessory, we have to make sure that what we're wearing is climate or at least weather-of-the-day appropriate from head to toe.

So being the dressing up addict that I am, I used that rule to grab a hat from my closet and tried to appear feminine as soon as possible (I scored a perfect excuse right there! Haha). I love that it's straw because it, one, served  as my hair/head's primary UV shield and two, it's instantly wearable, not only with its breathability, but with the easygoing, loungy attitude it exudes.

 and since I'm talking about hats allow me to vomit (sorry for the term) some words about it, for I am talkative and I cant' help but share my thoughts with you right now (I missed blogging this much it's obvious. Haha!) I'd like to share some personal Do's and Dont's tips in wearing hats. Here it goes,

DO

*choose a hat that fits your head well. Not too small. Not too big.

*make sure that the shape of the hat suits the shape of your face.

*use hats to accentuate your whole outfit

*wear a cool hat, with a cool dress. 

*try different kinds of hat, try exaggerated shapes and be experimental

*go with your instinct, if you think the hat looks good on you, wear it. Flaunt it!

DON'T

*wear a matchy-matchy hat with your outfit. Like a leather hat with a leather jacket.

*wear a baseball hat or a tucker with a girly sun dress. Just because they don't go well together. (in my opinion)

*wear those animal fur slash ears hat. It's not that fashionable. 

*wear straw hats when it's raining or it's going to be a bad case of season mix!

*use a hat to save a bad outfit. Just don't. (I'm telling you, it's a major offense to do so!)

There, hope that little sharing helps! ;)

Bright Ideas

 |DIY neon skirt, DIY Clutch Bag, Pin from Fabgelous, Borrowed denim polo from my sister, Topshop Lace Top| 

Last weekend defiantly pushed me to crave for something that could give me a ray of light. Something  fun. Something wild. Something striking...

Something Neon! 

From neon nails to electric shoes,from Prabal Gurung to Micheal Kors collection, the fact that it made a huge rage last Summer and will definitely have its fame continues until this coming rainy season is not actually new to all of us. It's the "illuminata" (or glow in a lighter chictionary term) effect that it brings, that makes it a wardrobe vital even in the 80's (fashion history check).

By combining fluorescent yellow, pink, and orange Stabilo highlighter hues with denim and lace, I don a lady-like approach in this season's fresh and modern hit, Thinking...Why blend in with the gloomy weather when you can instantly lighten up any soul and make use of this trend's show-stopping power? (Bright idea right?) *wink*

P.S

So...have you gotten the Neon Fever too? What do you think about this look?

A loud and special shout out to my lovey, Tina! She took these photos in between rain  showers and in the midst of partying at the Status Magazine's event last Saturday. Watch out for more about that and BU3 on my next post.

Nikki
