I missed much of Summer back here in Manila as I was too busy preparing for my 3-week trip so the hot season went by in a blur. It’s unfortunate, really since I love everything related to summer and now that I am back home, it’s suddenly the rainy season. Much to my relief, as I was scanning through my archives, I was able to locate a “cool for the summer” business casual look which basically shows how I prefer to dress up for work amidst the heat. Granted that this isn’t really acceptable work-attire (I recommend wearing a blazer over the eyelet cropped top as I did), there are always perks of running your own office and dictating the dress code. I wouldn’t wear this ensemble on any other day than casual Friday as I like to set an example to my employees but if you live in the concrete jungle also known as Makati Philippines where the fate of air-conditioning is always uncertain and where the sweltering heat can climb up to 40-degrees Celsius, you would get where I am coming from and probably won’t mind going for an outfit something like this… even if you have three meetings to go to. I know I’ve been posting a lot of archives but I am just trying to exhaust my library before posting travel photos. I am one of those people who prefer to be really strategic and follow a chronological order when doing posts…so I hope you don’t mind.
