First Rule of Thumb

On me://Shirt & Necklace - Cotton On//Sweater and boots - Local Store//Jeans - Mango//Ring - H&M//

A pop of bright color - the easiest way to make an all black outfit livelier. But I didn't have to say that , did I? First rule in the book. In my case, I think it's been way overused. After doing the November monthly review, I realized I've been wearing black a lot lately, with just a hint of color here and there. I just can't help it. There's something about wearing black that makes me feel like I'm this really cool chick, you know? Specially after having my hair done, haha... 


So this was what I wore to school on Saturday, to do a presentation. Afterwards, spent the afternoon with Penguin watching YouTube videos and checking out shoes online. His. Did I ever mention he's a shoe freak? Well, I just did. And I'm not talking the normal kind, but he's crazy about the special kind - Jordan retro collection (top on the list), Kenzo X Vans, Adidas X Jeremy Scott, The hundreds hoya, Louboutins, oh... I can't even remember them all. This month, he purchased a few pairs from those that I mentioned, and he's on the hunt for the rest. Sadly, most of them are impossible to find here. But you know what's crazier? He influences me so much that I'm actually starting to consider collecting my own pairs... not that I haven't started with my own blogger shoe essentials. But you know... oh, let's just see.

Anyway, I'm blabbing and I should stop now. Tell me what you think of this outfit!

  19. Hi!! just came by your site today, love what you've done with it!! you're so cute!! I love your outfits. This pop of red in this outfit is so eye-catching and goes so well with the rest of the ensemble. I've been trying to convince myself to wear more colors... especially red! It's such a beautiful holiday color
