How To

If you already have a copy of today’s Philippine Star, you might’ve seen this “how-to” editorial I did for Ystyle. If you haven’t, you can read it here.

I felt so awkward doing this! I mean I’m no fashion-blogger-pose expert! And is there really a step 1-2-3-4 in posing? But for the fun of it all, I did it anyway. And since you can already read my steps 1-4 here, I came up with different captions for the photos I submitted. Haha!

Step 1: The “We Run The World” pose

Step 2: The “I-sprained-my -ankle” pose

Step 3: The “Planet of the Apes” pose

Step 4: The “Let-Me-Angle-My-Face” pose

Anywayyyyyyy, on to my outfit. I wore this to the Multiply Shopping Party last Tuesday. Hello, COLORS!

River Island beaded jacket | Topshop jumpsuit | H&M pink belt | YSL clutch

F-Stop starfish connector ring | Extreme Finds oval rings | Island Girl brown/black bangle | Michael Kors brown watch

To avoid clashing against my already colorful outfit, I wore mostly brown and dark gold accessories. Accessories should compliment your clothes, not distract.

Call It Spring pumps

Because my outfit is predominantly pink, I chose a different color for my shoes to make it just a little more fun. The trick here is to pick a minor color from your already colorful outfit. Don’t add more colors! Choose from the available colors and go from there. If you’re still uncertain, go for neutral-colored shoes instead.
