Good Dress Up Monday Blues. ELENABLOG



 Blazer, High-Waisted Jeans, White Pointed Heels, FOREVER 21 | Cropped Top, NOUN PH | Bag, GRENJ BAGS

I'm back! Being on blog hiatus for so long made me so guilty for being irresponsible that's why I put extra effort in this blog post! haha!

Anyway, it's March already! I can't believe how time flies so fast that the 3rd month of the year's almost over! You know what March means right? Graduation! May it be a high school or a college graduation, I congratulate everyone who's going to graduate this school year! I remember my college graduation last March, I was sooo happy! Although graduating means not spending time with your buddies all the time, the happiness for each other overrule everything! You can finally say you did a job well done! You finished school and about to enter a serious phase of life, having a job and applying all the things you've learned in school. Working is not so bad at all, especially if you love what you're doing. So to all the graduates out there, make sure to ace a job that you really want, not because it pays the bills$$$ (if you know what I mean hehe) or else you'll be burned out. You're just starting your career, you have few months or years to explore your capabilities and skills so you would know which career you really want to pursue. 

I am now on my second job and I have to say that working for a retail company is great. Since I love fashion, designing, styling and everything about it, might as well live to it, right? :)

Working in the line of fashion, I always require myself to dress up to the nines! You can always play with your clothes and have the perfect work wear. Yes work is tiring so might as well look good so you won't look tired. This applies to everyone, not just to people who works in the line of fashion. Corporate attire is boring if you wear boring colors and pieces. Try mixing it up a little like this outfit! I paired my royal blue blazer with my high-waisted pants for a formal yet chic look. I mixed things up a little by wearing a sexy cropped top, but of course make sure to check your company's dress code before planning your outfit. When it comes to the shoes, choose a sexy pair of shoes when wearing pants. You're wearing something that covers your stems so add a little height to look smart! There are a lot of ways to revamp your work wear, but what's more important is your attitude/personality, it reflects in the over all look.

Good Dress Up Monochrome. ELENABLOG












Blazer, HANG TEN. Tank Top, Skinny Jeans, Gold chain, FOREVER 21. Watch, WADE. Bag, GRENJ BAGS. Shoes, IMPULSE CO.

Yes I'm wearing jeans! haha I've been sporting jeans lately especially when I commute or I go to my interviews. I'm a petite lady, I stand in 5"2-5"3 so I'm not long-legged but there's something about dark skinny jeans that makes me feel sexy. 

I'm a fan of monochromatic outfits. I'm a print lover but I'm not much of a fan of too many colors in one outfit. I wear outfits in monochrome most of the time or like doing your make up, I focus on one part of my look. I think that explains this black and white outfit. I wore my printed flats to add a pop. 

I've been getting positive feedbacks about my bag, it's nice right? Thank you to Grenj Bags for sending this over! I really love it! You guys should check out Grenj Bags on Facebook and Instagram @thegrenjbags Thanks Tita Jen!:*

Anyway this is what I wore last week to our Bloggers United Victory Party part 2 by our SM Entertainment family at the Mall of Asia. I'm supposed to have my interview that day that's why I wore this but it didn't push through. Good thing I was wearing jeans, perfect for ice skating! I'm afraid I might fall and hurt myself. :p

Watch out for my post regarding our Victory Party!:)

Good Dress Up Pastel Lovin. ELENABLOG











Top, FOREVER 21. Shorts, SM KID'S. Flats, FREEFISH @ RES TOE RUN. Necklace, HISSBLISS. Bag, GRENJ BAGS.

I seldom wear pastel colored outfits because I don't own much pastel clothes but that day we're required to do so. Wore this to the Pretty in Pinkbox event. So glad to find few pastel pieces inside my closet! I've worn this top for like three times already! One of my few pastel pieces! Plus this skort from SM Kids'! Yes, SM KIDS! They still fit me! haha Perks of being a petite lady! SM Kids' have lots of stylish pieces that even my age would love! I was surprised that salmon and teal can actually look good together!

By the way, I think I'm over-using this pair of studded flats from Free Fish! I swear it's so chic and comfy! Every time I wear this, I get compliments on how nice it is! Visit Res Toe Run and shop Free Fish! They have the nicest and comfiest flats ever!:)

Good Dress Up Ladylike. ELENABLOG














Cropped Top, Skater Skirt, Heels, Gold Choker FOREVER 21. Gold Cuff, HISSBLISS. Bag, GRENJ BAGS. Sunnies, CRAVE MORE.

Trends has it's way of coming back. This cute cropped top trend is back once again. My grandmother tells me she sported this look waaaaay back when she was still a young lady like me. Must be nostalgic for them to see people dress the same again as they were before. hihi 

Anyway about this look, I wanted to wear something lady-like that day because I'm attending a beauty event: ZA Cosmetics. (will blog about the launch on my next post) I wanted to wear this cropped top since it's been hanging inside my closet since my birthday. Went shopping for basics on my birthday week. Glad I thought of a way to use this cropped top in a lady-like manner. I wore this black skater skirt with it. I wore it in high waist so it won't look too revealing. The use of gold accessories matched this Red and Black look perfectly! Plus my animal printed heels made it look classy and elegant. I'm so happy that I wore this that day because it's scorching hot outside. Speaking of cropped tops, I think these are very versatile pieces. You can wear it in different occasions. You can layer blazers or vests to look formal or for the cold weather and you can just wear it with shorts, skirts, or pants for a casual look. Style tip? Wear it with a high-waisted bottom for a more conservative and classy look!

Share me your take on cropped tops! Comment your blog post/photo links below!:)

Good Dress Up Camou. ELENABLOG












Camou Pullover, Gold Choker, Brown Platform Booties FOREVER 21 . Dark Green high waisted shorts, SEVENTH STREET. Green and Nude Bag, GRENJ BAGS. Gold cuff and ring, HISSBLISS. Printed Flats, IMPULSE CO.

This is what I wore last Friday for Supersale Bazaar's first day at the World Trade Center. This is my first time to post something in camou print. I have two versions of this outfit, the first is the one where in I'm wearing heels and the second look is the one wearing flats. Besides  flaunting this cute pair of flats from Impulse Co, I really can't stand to wear this pair of killer booties all day. I know these booties are sexy but it's painful if I wear it all day. Thanks to this pair of flats from Impulse Co.!

Have you visited SuperSale Bazaar last weekend? I think it's one of the best bazaars SuperSale had! There are a lot of cheap and good items! Almost every booth have awesome items on sale! Surprisingly, a lot of people came to think every mall in town is having their mid year sale! If you missed the bazaar last weekend, make sure you go to the next! I swear, it's one of the best bazaars in the metro!
