White Out

White on white is a very difficult outfit to wear. I know because there have been many times I have tried sporting this look and failed. Apparently, as with life, you can’t help getting dirty or soiled at the end of the day. Circumstances make it almost impossible for us to remain clean and pure… in fashion, these may come in the form of accidentally grazing your outfit against a dirty pavement, spilling a beverage on your outfit or if you’re really unlucky, accidentally blotting a pen on your clothes (and I think the common consensus on this is the stain of a pen is the hardest to remove on white clothing). In life, there are so many events and circumstances that we have to face which requires actually getting our hands dirty and I guess remaining untarnished and unstained is a privilege most of the population is granted (myself not included). However, I got to thinking and told myself, “what the heck,” since we are all just winging it, I might as well try. I have always believed in the whole what you risk reveals what you value school of thought and I think I value learning very much so I decided to risk going white on white and go all in thus the outfit. It was a particular rainy day when I wore this (talk about wrong timing right?) but I was shocked to see that as the day ended, I was almost practically unscathed except for a few minor dust marks which could be easily erased… nothing permanent enough actually.

Stability.

Sweat it out.

“No sign of any rain
My skies are clear today
I keep bracing for that hit
But there’s not sign of it
No obstacles in sight
My skies are clear tonight (My skies are full of light)
I keep thinking I might see that cloud arrive
Oh but there’s no sign of it
No sign of it”

Hang With Me

Comfortable in Cashmere.
(Sweater: Zara | Bag: Stam Bag by Marc Jacobs | Shoes: DAS | Accessories: Cultus ChiChi)

I wore this comfortable but also glam gold knit sweater dress from Zara to a belated New Year’s Celebration with friends over at Relik Tapas Bar in the Fort. Since the dress was quite simple, I decided to make a statement with this pair of Scene Stealer heel-less shoes from DAS which are the glittery/ new year party element in my outfit. Wore my nude Marc Jacobs Stam bag and piled on gold necklaces to finish the look.




It was a fun night out with friends but I was quite sad since my sister left for the U.S. (where she is based) on the same night. Sigh.

My sister pseudo-chef-ed at home and cooked us some Spaghetti con tartufo e pancetta
