What I've Been Up To + OOTD

Salam=)

I know, no time, no blog! It's been ages, and I apologize for not posting anything for more than a month.

I swear I haven't had the time, I was actually busy WORKING^^ I did get a job, not exactly what I expected, but I'm learning new things, I can keep myself busy during the day, and I'm getting pesos! And if you didn't know, more $$$ = more clothes for me + more modest styles for you=)

On to the OOTD!

These days, I'm feeling like trying different things, different looks, and I happened to come across Wendy's video on layering:

I liked the idea of layering, the casual look it gave, so I'd tought I'd give it a shot!

 Long, white tank top, khaki shirt, grey sweater, straight-leg jeans

 

I went shopping that day, and I wanted something warm, convenient, and casual-looking, as usual. So I picked my trusted khaki shirt and grey sweater, which I've worn countless times separately, but never together. I liked the idea of a crisp white shirt peaking through- plus, I've heard that this would create a 'long white line' along the upper section of your body, making you look leaner :) I added straight leg jeans, and decided to add a belt to avoid a bulky look.

To give you an idea of the outfit with a little waist definition

Sneakers, taupe scarf, cross-body bag

I actually tried and wore this, but it wasn't as convenient as I originally thought, so I ended up ditching the belt and wearing the khaki shirt and sweater loose, which gave me more comfort and more room to breathe =)

This outfit didn't work as I'd thought, but hey, fashion is about experimenting! At least, I now know that layering AND adding a belt isn't my thing =p

Is there a look that you love on someone else, but not on you? Please let me know!
