Remember, they key to overall beauty is not makeup. It's confidence!

I bought this pair in Forever 21 in Makati. I was looking for something that I can wear over and over again by changing something in the outfit and it would give a new look. I wasn't planning on buying a romper because it had always looked funny on me. But since I lost 12 lbs., it actually fit better. The pants of the romper are harem pants.

I got this romper pants with 2 bustiers. One is a red bandage, and the other is a beaded bustier with an aztec print.

The first look is with the red bandage bustier:

Yes, I have bared my midriff, get over it. LOL I love that this can double as a bikini! Just pair if with a bikini bottom!


I love this belt! It's a garterized belt with a gold plate in the middle. I am so happy because I was already able to fit the size S/M. Yay!

So now with the beaded bustier, you can see that my outfit is a little bit more fun and casual. I wore a lot more colors and print on print patterns for my bag and my bustier.


Here is a close look of the bustier. This is from the Forever 21 line, not from Plus. This is a large size. It's just a little hard to put on because it has a metal zipper so it doesn't glide up as easily.

 I love these shoes because I love pink and I love velvet. I also like the unusual heel that's why I bought it. What it lacks in comfortability makes up for in style and color.

I have had this Fendi bag since college. It's one of the designer bags that my mom has passed on to me when I was active in gimmicking with friends! I always borrowed it from her and eventually she just gave it to me. Yay for mom's who love designer bags as much as you do!

Roughly this is about 12 years old but still in mint condition. I take excellent care of my bags that's why they are still in tip top shape. That's one of the reasons why I love designer bags, they stay with you for a long time!
