Symmetry

If you’re wondering why I’m all made up, it’s because this photo was taken right after my shoot for a magazine feature coming out next month. I can’t wait to tell you all about it! It’ll be  my first time ever to get featured in this magazine so I’m more than excited to see how the final layout will look like. Any guesses as to which magazine I’m pertaining to? Har har, I’m such a tease!

Anyway, since I can’t share with you what I wore for the feature just yet, here’s what I wore behind-the-scenes.

When I first received this dress from Spanish website Buylevard, it took me a few minutes to figure out how to wear it. I had to go online again and check how it looked like on the model to refresh my memory and figure out which sleeve goes where. It may look simple, but trust me, it’s a little puzzling when laid down flat, all because of its unconventional asymmetric cut. Amazing what a small detail like this can do. Such a simple silhouette but still striking overall.

It doesn’t hurt that it comes in an equally striking symmetric print too. I really love this dress. I’m definitely getting more from Buylevard. Have I mentioned they deliver worldwide and carry over 100 designers and brands?

There’s actually only one problem with this dress. It’s a little too short on me so if you look closely, I’m actually wearing a skirt underneath it. I tried my best to look for a skirt that fits its print. I do this all the time with dresses that are tad bit too short on me. With the right print/color, no one will notice! Sometimes, they can even make the dress look better than it already is so technically, this dress being a little short on me isn’t really a problem.

Of course I wasn’t wearing these heels the entire day. As with all my shoots, I brought a pair of flats to change into. Here comes my Footzyrolls to save the day yet again.

I’m so happy I have these in silver too!

    ฉันพูดภาษาอังกฤษไม่เป็นค่ะ แต่ขอพูดคำที่ใครๆก้อชอบพูดกัน ฉันชอบคุณทุกอย่าง สไตล์ที่เป็นคุณ รวมไปถึงตัวคุณ แต่ฉันคงแต่งแบบคุณไม่ได้หรอก เพราะฉันเตี้ย คงได้แต่เอาไปมิกซ์แอนด์แมกซ์ เป็นสไตล์ฉัน ขอให้เป็นไอดอนที่เป็นแรงบันดาลใจให้ฉันอยากสงยอย่างนี้ไปตลอดนะค่ะ

    Hey Camille!

    (Totally random question) What’s your favorite color? You look good in all colors, in my opinion. Do you even have a favorite? :)
    Also, (even more random) how do you keep your feet looking so dainty and pretty? Seriously, parang sa prinsesa ang paa mo sa pics na to :)

    Cheers,
    cq

      Haha parang lang siguro! :) My favorite color when it comes to clothes? It’s so hard to decide!!! I like so many and they change from time to time. Maybe white?

    Love that shot of you sitting on the balustrade. It’s like a still from a movie.

    And if I may say so as a photographer, you hardly have a bad a angle. You’re on my top 10 list of people I would want to do a photo shoot with. XD

    Props to your assistant too, definitely knows how to compose a shot.

    Hi Camille!

    It’s my first time commenting because I’m really shy to do these things.
    I just want to say what an inspiration you are to women :) You’ve helped me try to make bolder (yet tasteful!) fashion choices since before I was always in t-shirts and jeans.

    I hope you can help me decide what to wear for work soon. I’m starting out as a teacher and I don’t want to look frumpy or boring. I’m quite petite too. Any suggestion would be appreciated :)

    Hugs,
    Lisa

      Thanks Lisa! Glad you finally spoke up! :) I suggest wearing a light blazer over a flowy dress. Go for solid colors instead of prints. :)
