In GAP At Putrajaya

And the Malaysia Truly Asia posts begin!!! Let me start with what I wore on our first day. I had to catch the 7:50 A.M. flight so comfort was definitely a priority. I only had less than 2 hours of sleep and woke up at a few minutes past 5-freakin-AM! I OVERSLEPT! I have no idea why my alarm didn’t go off! I’m starting to think I sleep-snooze. You know, when you’re asleep but your hand just automatically clicks the magic snooze button? Actually, in this case, I think asleep Camille managed to swipe the “turn alarm off” button on my iPhone. Evil asleep Camille. EVIL. So anyway, imagine the riot that ensued when I realized how late I was and quickly jumped out of bed, headed to the shower and rummaged through my closet like a crazy lady. I share a room with my sister so I was doing all these while trying to keep it as quiet as possible. I couldn’t even turn the lights on! Thank God I just got my loot from GAP. I quickly threw them on and hoped to dear God the darkness didn’t cloud my fashion sense. Out the door in 15minutes. Slow clap.

Anyhooooooo, needless to say, I made it! That is Putrajaya’s Pink Mosque behind me after all. I don’t have the Photoshop skills to copy and paste myself onto a beautiful scenery such as this.

Hello Malaysiaaaaaaaa!!! You truly are Asiaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Sorry, I just had to insert that in there. Enough of my overly-hyper self and on to my outfit.

If you’ve visited StyleBible recently, you might’ve noticed a new StyleBible Blogger Challenge, this time, in collaboration with GAP, specifically GAP’s NOW TEES Collection. When it comes to quality basics, GAP’s definitely one of the first brands that come to mind. The NOW TEES are no different, they’re still the GAP basics we know and love, except with a little extra something. They’re vintage-washed soft jersey knits which make them feel a little more lived-in and cozy. I actually got a bunch of them because they’re not only comfortable but the colors are so irresistible as well. A girl can never have to much basics anyway! *Cue guys rolling their eyes*

So why did I choose to feature this for the StyleBible challenge? This shirt is called the Mercer V-Neck Tee by the way. I got this because I think, out of all the tees, it’s the most successful in achieving a balance between casual and hip. It’s effortlessly sexy because of its neckline and fit. I chose to pair it with GAP’s broken-in khakis and a blazer from Sandro to show how you can style up a simple shirt like this. It doesn’t always have to be a pair of jeans or shorts. It doesn’t always have to look informal. I wanted to prove that basic tees like this are perfect because there are a variety of ways to style them. In my case, I styled it to look a bit smart casual to make it airport-appropriate. I incorporated a little androgyny into the look as well. The shirt’s color, fit and neckline balances it off anyway and adds that much needed femininity.

    I love this post! Made me laugh & I can totally relate to it (except that I’m not catching a flight)! 15 mins is quite fast if it includes taking a shower & dressing up. now that’s talent! HAHA.

    Honestly, I first learned about you when Meg magazine featured you (& your closet) & I followed you ever since. I hope you could also blog about your closet. I have always been curious on how you organize your shoes, bags, clothes, & accessories (especially because you can properly credit the sponsors). hehe.

    You’re one of my life pegs, Miss Camille! I hope I can meet you someday! :)

    It’s way more scarier if you don’t have any great outfits in your sight when you overslept! I always get panic and go for sweater and shorts when I overslept lol. Btw, love your outfit! The colour matches so well and you were able to pull off this look!

    Catching a flight in a little over 2 hours while having to negotiate our archaic airport policies; Now THAT’S impressive.

    This is very GAP-like! The brand screams for basic but closet-staple-must-haves. Interesting twists you got there, shoes, blazer and “pasabog” yung background, pink castle! The whole thing is crayola fun, you have green, purple, violet, yellow, and blue. Couldn’t get any better than this! :D

    I hate how you’re already thousands of hypes advance than Mayo Wo (a.k.a. The Girl who can’t get rid off the “heels with socks” trend – that’s so 2000 and LATE haha!) and Lookbook is still not changing your rank! :( You, Kryz, and Tricia are slowly taking over Lookbook! (Kryz is already top 5! I’m proud! :D ) I would love to see you guys one day when you three are on the top spots! Go Pinays!

    Can’t believe that at 24, you’re still sharing the same room with your sister! (can I share the same room with your brother? CHOS!) You must really love each other! I remember you said that your sis is a CPA and your brother is now a Lawyer or is he a CPA-Lawyer? (What’s his pre-law?) I wonder how he looks like! I’ll just imagine…hmmm chinito + abs = YUMMEH! lol! or perhaps encourage him to blog! You’re all achievers! I can’t imagine how proud your parents are! Any plans of taking up masters? Maybe you should add Attorney to your numerous titles! :D

    I like your blazer! Reminds me of Helmut Lang.

      Yes! I’ve been sharing a room with her my whole life! Except maybe when I went abroad to study and her as well. :) My brother is a lawyer. He graduated from Ateneo with a degree in AB Eco. :) And sorry to burst your bubble, but my brother is super slim! Haha! He’s even thinner than me! :)Kakatawa ka! Talagang “yummeh!” haha! I want to take up masters. Maybe soon! Dapat nga I took up law! Ohhhhh well :)

    I agree! Tees shouldn’t just be styled in an informal way. You can always do some tricks to make it casual or edgy :) I’ll never stop saying this but you really know fashion too well ;)
