Building Blocks

My outfit weirdly reminds me of toy building blocks I used to play with when I was a kid…or those shape-sorters for babies. It’s probably because of the colors and the geometric shapes on my outfit. Oh this brain of mine, sometimes I wonder myself why it functions this way haha! Forgive me. Can’t do nothing about it! Hooooh well.

Anyway, here’s another one of my “let’s-pretend-I’m-too-cool-to-care” get-ups. Lousy shirts like this are perfect for achieving that effortless look. I kinda hoarded this shirt when I saw it at one of Zara’s branches in Barcelona. If they had it in 12 colors, I would’ve probably gotten all 12! I’m such a sucker for sexy backs. Plus points for the bright color too! Can you say, summer? Suuuuummmmmmerrrrrrrr!

And since I got so inspired by the geometric print of my pants and my shirt’s bright color, I made sure my bag and shoes were also in theme. If you observe my outfit closely though, not one color is exactly the same but they go surprisingly well together. The trick? Pair complementary colors, and if you’ll add more colors, make sure they’re from the same color family as the existing colors.

    Loooove that top. Bought it today because of your post. :P

    Pardon the question but I was wondering what type of bra you use for such a top.
    I dress pretty conservatively so it’s my first time to buy a backless shirt. Thanks Ms. Camille. Love your blog! :)

      I wear Nu Bra stick-ons :) You can find some at La Senza. I think there are other brands that have stick-ons too at Adora and Rustans :)

    Hi there! Love your outfits… :D
    Just wondering, what color/brand of nail polish is featured in this post? I really like the teal-ish color!

      Oh! The nail polish isn’t mine. I just had my nails done at Nail It! Salon. But if I’m not mistaken, I think it’s from Orly.

    The whole thing screams SUMMER! :) Shots of brightness radiating from the tee to ze shoes!

    Out of curiosity.. Camille, what songs are currently on your playlist?:))

    (Btw, the clutch reminds me of Lego. Hehehe. Cutesy! :P)

    I just found out this blog from a friend of mine. I have came across so many fashion/life style bloggers that use Nuffnang or some sort. None of them can be compare to you. I love everything about this blog, not just the blog but the person who runs it. Idk you personally but from what I see, you replied almost every single comment that was commented to you and that shows that you appreciate your followers. Love that about you. On the other hand, you seem like a very humble and nice person even though you have all these high end brands that you wore for your photo shoots or whatnot. Keep up the good work. I love seeing every piece of clothing that you wore and show it in this blog. :)

    Hey again Camille! Your top is similar with what my mom got in F21 when she used our Mother’s day gift card. Only that it’s in gray and more of knit type but the back detail almost exactly the same and the loose type in front. Haha, then my mom may have chosen the best clothing choice ‘cos you have the same taste with hers. ;)
    BTW, just a question. What color of inner top do you have to wear when you’re wearing a beige/peachy contrast top with a black Peter Pan collar? Should it be beige/peach or black? Thank you! :)

    Hi there, Camille! I really love the way you dress. I’m not a fashionista like you and I don’t have the budget to shop for tons of gorgeous clothes. But, what would you say is the major must have if you want to have a “girly” wardrobe? Thanks. xx

    Reply
    • itscamilleco

      Thanks Loren! :) I guess you should pay more attention to silhouettes, colors and prints. When you say girly, it’s more on the neutrals, pastels, slim fit, etc. :)

        Slim fit? I’m not actually well… thin. I’m “curvy”. Will that be a problem? I’m also limited with shops since I don’t live in Metro Manila. Our city does have Plains and Prints, Penshoppe, Bench, Kamiseta, Von Dutch, Tribal, Folded and Hung, and the small shops at the SM Department Store.

        I’m really sorry for bothering you. I do feel lucky that I had to a chance to get advice from one of of country’s best fashion icons! :)

          Oh that’s not a problem! A-line skirts! Plains & Prints, Kamiseta, F&H and SM are great places to shop at for girly clothes. :)

      Thanks Frankie! I don’t suffer from them. If you do, maybe you should wear a bandaid or stick some shoe gels?
