Fabric Shortage

Here’s an extra summery post to remind everyone in Manila that somewhere in this world, it’s still summer and the sun is out and about! I took these photos months ago, back in May if I remember correctly. (I told you I have so much backlog.) I call this look fabric shortage a.k.a. kinulang sa tela. It’s cropped here, cropped there, cropped everywhere!

The skirt I’m wearing here actually comes in 2 parts: an orange bodycon skirt plus this floral print chiffon fabric that’s a cross between a peplum and a mullet–peplet perhaps?? Okay, let’s just stick to calling it a peplum/mullet skirt. Let’s not try to make a Brangelina out of this union haha! Anyway, as I was saying, the 2 parts of this skirt are completely separate from each other, which is quite nice if you ask me. I can wear the bodycon skirt alone or I can mix the peplum/mullet skirt with other bottoms!

So basically, what I did for this look was mix a lot of rich colors in. From my accessories to my comfy sandals, I was really feeling the call of summer. As much as I would love to claim that the vest I’m wearing here was all about my styling, it’s actually more because I couldn’t stand the heat!

    Everything is Fabolous! ♥ Ms. Camille, is peplum skirt good for a inverted triangle body shape?

      Thanks Nicole! It might emphasize your hips even more. Try A-line skirts :)

      Hi Mikka! Aww that’s sweet! It’s great that you’re already practicing. I guess all I can say is to keep building and honing your skills. Invest in books about fashion design and try to soak up as much knowledge as you can. :) Best of luck!

    I saw your lookbook account and you seem to hype a few looks. What does it mean? HAHA. I’m just so confused cause you’re not like other famous lookbookers. They fan other extraordinary people there and you, you fan only 15 people which is like, oh this person has an exotic fashion taste!

    This is actually quite the punky look for you. First time, I think, I’ve seen you in this kind of 80’s vibe. XD
