What I Wore | Tee & Maxi Skirt

What's your typical outfit on a lazy day? 

When I dont feel like dressing up I used to grab my trusted shorts and from their decide what top to pair it with. However, this changed now... The typical outfit that comes to mind first is a maxi skirt paired with white tees. 

White Tees. This makes me laugh everytime, because I used to despised wearing white tees before, for the reason that I easily get dirt on it. No im not clumsy, but just the on-the-move kind of woman. Go ahead reason out! lol ;) Im probably maturing because now you can see them taking over my black tops in my closet. Heck I even have the plain ones! O.o

Speaking of maxi skirt, I am thinking of having more of this well-crafted ones like the one Im wearing in this OOTD. I just love maxi skirts with hand-crafted details. This ombre blue maxi skirt has a crochet details. 

I say, let the hunting begins!

Do let me know if you know shops with great designs on thier maxi skirts! ;)

Theme For This Year

Last year I created a blogpost on what's going to be my theme of the year 2014. I am thinking of doing it for this for this year again. I guess its not to late for it anyway...

I wonder what theme should be great for 2015...

#Travel2015.  Ive done a few travel early this year so this could be a perfect theme for this year since Ive already started doing it so.

#Invest2015. However, I am also thinking on investing something big. I am not confident on this plan but I really want to push and motivate myself to this plan.

Online Shopping: Zaful.com

The postman delivered this package today. Yay finally! I have been looking forward to receive this package from Zaful.com. It usually took a month for registered mail to arrive but impressively this package arrive 18 days and straight to my doorstep. I usually picked it up at the post office, so this is a double wow! I wonder if our local post office is really improving now. And yes I still paid the postal fee of PHP 100.00.
So what's inside? Its a retro sundress from Zaful.com. Yes! You got it right! Its yet another online shop discovery. I really love discovering and sharing new online shops specially if the experience is great.
Here's my review on the website:

• Free shipping worldwide.♥
• You can upload an OOTD shot for the clothes you purchase on their website. I usually take that as free blog promotion. ;)
• Price is a bit high compared to other online shop but its reasonable and worth it though because they dont charge for shipping fee on any price purchased.
• The quality of the dress is great! Just as what Ive expected. 
• I recommend visiting the Zaful SALE page because they got lots of great clothes on sale for a cheaper price.

What I Wore| Stripe Dress & Denim Vest

Attended two events today so opted for a comfortable outfit.
I attended the launching of Sony Bravia Android TV with fellow CDOBloggers. Its been a while since Ive attended launching events, so was looking forward to meet my fellow bloggers. We we're treated for lunch at Bigby's Restaurant right after and we had plenty of time to chat while enjoying the delicious buffet.
After lunch, me and some of the blogger friends stroll at the mall to look for a house warming gift for our fellow bloggers Ding and Bang. We were looking for a hand mixer because Bang just found a new hobby which is baking. We we're able to bought a cheaper and useful hand mixer at Ronbinsons Appliance. We headed to Ding and Bang's house right after and had fun.

What I Wore | Crop Top and Denim Maxi Skirt

One of the biggest struggles Ive had since I started fashion blogging is that a person who will take a photo of myself with my outfit of the day, a.k.a "my photographer". Im the type of blogger who post outfits I wore on that certain day/event. And I am not comfortable sharing photos that are mirror selfies on my blogs. I also like to capture my outfits at the venue/event where Ive worn that outfit.

I know I can bring a tripod to shoot myself but then it'll be a hassle specially for someone like me who doesnt own a car where I can just dumped extra belongings. My friends are not interested in taking photos for my outfits shots. And at times that Ive convinced them to help me, it doest help them making fun of my poses... Talking about boosting down your confidence when you need it the most. haha The struggle is serious I tell yah!

Every fashion bloggers has their own different ways in sharing outfit post. And this is how I want with mine which Im struggling at times to achieve. How about you? What are the challenges that you currently face on the niche that you are blogging for? If you have tips or suggestions for me please do drop them at the comment section below. I'll be glad to hear from you all.
