Mint and Blue

Pastel colors make me happy. Whether it's mint, peach or blush, I always try to incorporate these shades into my wardrobe and everyday style. Aside from the fact that they give me that happy vibe, they are also highly versatile and can work with several different colors. One of my favorite ways to wear my favorite colors is to go for the monotone look, specifically pairing two items of the same color but of different shades or hues for my outfit. 

This cobalt pencil skirt I got from Persunmall has been a good investment piece. My favorite way to wear it is with sweater tops or long sleeved tops, like this new one from For Me. The sheer simplicity of the top belies the style statement it makes. I decided to throw in my pink necklace to add some dose of fun into the look.

Ready for Summer

Nothing special with today's post. I am re-mixing this For Me sheer floral print top with my favorite cobalt midi skirt. I don't know about you but this look reminds me a lot about summer. In particular, I love to wear this particular outfit to the beach. There is something so casually breezy about the color coordinated look. 

You know I am so ready for summer when I can bare my tummy like that. Here is to hoping that my workout and boxing routine continues to kick my ass so I can achieve the shape I want. 

Anyone with me to welcome the summer with open arms?

 

Graffiti Shorts

On my trip to Malaysia, Langkawi Island was our first stop. We spent two nights and three days at this beautiful island. I compare it to the Philippines' Boracay island, which is a hot spot for tourists. The beach is also within walking distance from the resorts so you can conveniently take a dip, have a picnic along the beach, or engage in water sports activities whenever you want. I was quite overwhelmed by the size of the island. There were too many sights to see and/or explore. Hence, comfortable clothes and footwear were a must.

This blue graffiti print shorts from Sheinside was one of those items that I bought specifically for this trip. I bought a lot of comfortable shorts because I knew there was going to be a lot of walking and traveling. And so, I tried my best to stay as comfortable as possible. And there is nothing more casual and vacation-ready than a pair of shorts and spaghetti strap top. I love this shorts, though, because it is quite versatile. You can wear it low-key and casual like I did here, or you can also pair it with a more dressy top.

Monotone

I won't deny it - I love dressing up and getting dolled up. But I much prefer keeping my style simple on most days. In fact, I can live in shorts and skirts if I had to. Today, I am going to showcase a simple look that I can say would be my ideal day-to-day look (you know, for those days when your're too lazy to care). 

This monotone look features my favorite color in two different shades: blue. The printed top is made out of cotton so it is light and comfortable to wear. I paired it with my lace pencil skirt to give this look a "girly" feel to it. This skirt is beyond amazing - as a lover of lace, I was hooked the first time I saw it. But the best part is that it does not only look nice, it fits nicely too. The mint sling bag helps to break up the monotony in color.
