Sheer Leopard and Jeans

August 29, 2011
Monday afternoon, at home

My sister and I will be on our way to Manila to get our things in our condo since she will be working home-based starting September and I will be flying to Singapore on the 18th.  Before her boyfriend picks us up, we decided to take some snapshots for a new blog post. I purchased this sheer leopard print top last Friday since I don't have anything to wear for a night out. This is actually a sheer cardigan and I just put three safety pins to make it a deep V-neck top. Here's the result:

 

Top and clutch from 50th Ave

Kitten heeled shoes from Janylin

Jeans from Bench

The Short And Tight Story Of It

Due to our weather, short shorts, tank tops, and summer dresses are staples in a ladies' closet. I'm a fan of short shorts. It can take me anywhere - from the mall to the club, from the coffee shop to the beach.

Short shorts and a tight corset top

What I was wearing is a short shorts from Bay, my sister's corset top, pumps from Janylyn, a blazer gift from an aunt, and Nine West bag.

I love pairing my shorts with my heels

the understated look of shorts and a blazer

 Recently, I've been hooked to blazers.  They just make everything look chic. You can pair it with a bondage dress, with a skirt, with jeans, and even with shorts.  Depending on the color and material, it can make you look long and lean so you have to carefully choose the cut.

Shorts can either make you look chic or laidback, depending on what you pair it with.  If you want to look posh, wear dark shorts (black or leather are the best options) and pair it with your highest heels and top it off with a blazer.  You can either wear your hair up in a chic bun or let it down.

Shorts are definitely a woman's best friend (a woman living in a tropical country like the Philippines, that is) :D
