Bright as a Sunflower

It's been raining these past days so I had to brighten up my gloomy day with a sunflower crop top. I don't want to blend in with the weather. I bet you also experience it. For sure, you know the feeling of feeling blue on a gloomy or rainy weather.

I was in the mood of putting on my SHOP LOCA MANILA high waisted jeans and sunflower crop top. This casual outfit is good-to-go with catchy accessories like a turban, FASHION SPICE MANILA Mise en Doir pearl earrings, EYE KNOW RIGHT round sunnies, white VELOCI watch, white FEET HER WELL flats and HIPSTOP yellow snake skin clutch.

I love this look. It's easy, breezy and comfortable.

Turban: Gift from my sister

Earrings: FASHION SPICE MANILA

Eyewear: EYE KNOW RIGHT SUNNIES

Top: SHOP LOCA MANILA

Pants: SHOP LOCA MANILA

Bag: HIPSTOP

Watch: VELOCI TIME

Footwear: FEET HER WELL

I hope everyone's safe from the Typhoon and praying for the families who were affected by the Typhoon.

Complementary Hues

Have you ever found yourself stuck in a style rut when all you can think of wearing is black or white? How about playing with fun color combination to liven up your wardrobe? For today's style post, I'm trying out mixing cool and warm colors. Playing with colors can completely transform your look from winter to spring, spring to summer and so on.

If you don't know some of the color theories, I will share one to you now because it is relevant to some aspects of style besides clothing as well. The color theory that I applied on my outfit is the "Complementary Colors" theory.. These are the colors that are directly across from each other on the color wheel.

Check this out:

Because of their high contrast, they complement each other as the name implies. To make it easier for you to decide what colors to combine, start with a primary color as the base which I chose to wear my blue pleated maxi skirt from CERTAIN THINGS and complement it with orange layered necklace and GOLD SMITHS GRANDAUGHTER bangles. To balance the colors, I wore my white mid-corset with floral prints that I got from CLOTHES BUFFET MANILA. FEET HER WELL comfy white ballet shoes and rose gold hand bag from BAGELLA NI TATAT to finish the look.
