I’m no Angelina Jolie and my right leg definitely won’t have it’s own Twitter account any time soon… or EVER. But with a thigh-high slit skirt like this, it’s hard not to think of Angelina and her right leg. Haha!
I know I know. Why the hell am I wearing a high slit skirt in the middle of the mall? Well, to tell you the truth, this is what I wear to a normal day at the mall. Haha! Just kidding! I, for one, believe that to be stylish also means dressing appropriately. This means sexy slit skirts like this are definitely not for a casual day at the mall. It just so happened that the Rags2Riches (R2R) event took place at the Powerplant Mall and I was one of the muses for Amina Aranaz’ new collection for R2R. How can I not participate in this? First of all, I admire R2R–a for-profit social enterprise that offers eco-ethical fashion and home accessories made out of up cycled materials. And secondly, it’s Amina who asked. She used to teach me at SoFA and I look up to her a great deal! Of course, I said yes!
So basically, all I had to do was to attend the event using the R2R accessories Amina designed. They were preselected already so I just had to come up with an outfit that would go well with the said accessories. Can you spot which of the accessories I’m wearing were up cycled by R2R? It’s the purple clutch and the olive green cuff. Beautiful, right?
Honestly, I actually found it quite challenging to come up with an interesting outfit for them. They’re not exactly common colors to wear together and I didn’t want to go for something safe like say, a black dress. This bag and cuff (and all of R2R’s products) were made by manangs from poor communities. The least I can do is to give their accessories justice in the best way that I can. What better way than showing some leg? HAHA! I kid, I kid. But seriously speaking, I saw how the manangs were all so happy and proud at the event. They looked so excited seeing their creations come to life. And who wouldn’t be? They did such an amazing job! I suggest you guys check out the rest of the collection and see for yourself!

hi Camille! how do you tuck in the top so that its bottom doesnt show as an outline on the strecthy fabric of the skirt?
Wear a slip!
ang galeng mo tlg. formal blouse and skirt, to die for! :P
Thanks Ann!
saw you in this look in one of Kryz Uy’s posts. You have no idea what my reaction was when I saw you there. I was like damn! Si Camille na talaga! Kung maka panamit grabe ang dating kahit simple lang ang damit (not all though). You carry your outfits with sophistication talaga. I envy you in a way but in a very positive way. “,
Thank you Monde! :) I’m happy you think so :)
Great colour combination!!

Thank you Dheya!
Ms. Camille, please share what brand of slip/underwear you find to be the best for avoiding VPL. They seem impossible to find.
Spanx, Marks & Spencer for slips, Calvin Klein for seamless underwear :)
good thing na may mga ganitong projects that wud help less fortunate yet creative “manangs” to showcase der talent while proving how capable dey r in making such wonderful piece and made profitable also… good thing den na ang ganda ng model nila :) sobrang justice ung na give mo miss camille :)
Awww thank you Hillarie! Reese, the founder of R2R, is really so kind-hearted!
Long legs.wow. i wish na sana meron din ako nyan. :-)
reading your blog makes me feel good/refresh coz nakaka-pressure ang mga ginagawa naming building plans ngayon. :-) Thank you Miss Cams.

Haha thanks Inca!
You have legs for days! This outfit is fantastic! I love yellow and the colors you paired with it look great. I apologize for never commenting before, I guess I have always been more of a silent appreciator of your looks (I hope that doesn’t sound strange!) but I have always been a huge fan!
It doesn’t sound strange at all! Haha! :) Thanks Anelle!
Gorgeous skirt and shoes!! I love bright colors. Amazing!

Thank you Ollyvia!
The pumps. <3333 Hindi ka ate camille nasasaktan when you're wearing that kind of pumps? Just curious.
Hindi naman ito pumps and masarap siya sa paa :)
Really really, and i mean REALLY, love this outfit. I love how you paired this skirt with a polo! It looks so casual and chill but at the same time kind of high fashion! This definitely should be placed in a magazine! :>
Thank you Lyka! :) That’s what I was going for. I’m glad you like it :)
I love your outfit here Camille! But I have to talk about your hair, it looks so bouncy and healthy even in a still shot [I know, I know, thanks to Pantene lol] I just figured I might tell you that :) you look lovely as always.
Teehee seee! Pantene! :) Thank you once again!
I love how you paired that comfy blouse with the skirt!

wooow ~ I LOVE that skirt it’s so sexy & pretty ♥ ♥ ♥
and love the shoes too =) ♥ ♥ ♥
Thanks Sam!
Hi Camille! I’m just really curious. What kinds of underwear do you wear for fabrics that will usually give you a visible panty line? Because I’ve been following your blog for quite some time now and I’ve never seen you with a VPL! :) i hope you reply! :)
I wear seamless or sometimes I wear something pa over my undies like shorts or inner skirt :)
Okay, it’s hard to concentrate on a good comment when my boyfriend is at my back singin’ “Legs, legs, legs mo ay nakakasilaw” ♫☼♪ he even adlib-ed to that “Pati ang skirt mo na kulay dilaw” ♪♫
Heheh Wala tuloy akong masabi kundi – AMAZING!
♥♥♥
~Arvi
Hahahaha you made me laugh out loud!! Bored lang siguro boyfriend mo. He wants you to focus on him na raw muna :)
I love all the colors here! It’s just amazing how you still manage to look sexy even if you’re all covered up & wearing a loose top :D Good job Cams! :)
It’s all because of the slit! Thanks Tippy! :)
ang gandaaaaa. Ms. Camille, how do you deal with… panty lines? Hahaha. your skirt looks so formfitting. are you wearing a slip or seamless underwear?
I’m wearing a slip :)
Forever loving your height! :D <3
Thanks Kathleen!

I love your skirt!!!! And your shoes are soooooo sparkly!!! =))))))))))))))))
Thanks Trisha!
may I ask you something? it mystifies me so much, how can you walk with a skirt so long and heels so high??? teach me master! :))
The slit helps and the skirt doesn’t really have a lot of excess fabric so nothing gets tangled up :)
Just gorgeous! One of my favourite outfits of yours. The colour and shape of the skirt is amazing, and it’s great with the cool khaki shirt x

Looking gorgeous as usual Ms Camille! loving that high slit skirt! but i don’t have the height to pull that off.. haha.. and the accessories are unique as well.. and i think i kinda get used to the large photo on your blog post.. it’s really kinda large when you first change the size..

Awww how sweet!
Love your skirt, Camile! You’re so pretty!
Thanks Bernadette!
love your shoes <3
Thanks Francesca!
I really like your outfit here. I just love how you paired your very feminine skirt with that top. It’s like a version of Carolina Herrera’s style, only more colorful. :)
Thank you Clarisse! :)
Grabe the leg, it’s like a statement in itself, hahaha! :D I super love the intricate knotting design of the clutch and the cuff! It’s really nice to see such simples things like tied knots be an awesome statement/design for something you can use everyday :) Kudos to the manangs who worked hard on them! *applause* \:D/
Haha! Thanks Sephie! :) I agree! It doesn’t have to be big and loud. :)
You’re so tall!!! :)
Haha just shoot from a low angle :)
Those lovely long legs deserve its own Twitter account, hehe!
Love the clutch Camille. Love its details, real handmade. Love how you paired it with a lemon yellow contrast

Hahaha thanks Anmari!
loving the cuff
Thanks Barbra!
you are sooooo good on combining clothes. D: how do you do that? im jealous. haha. its hard for me ’cause I have limited clothes.
Haha! Thanks Erika! I don’t really know too. I just really enjoy dressing up! :) You can always get resourceful :)
Hi. You’re friends with Laureen Uy right? Is that mean you’re also close with her friends like Anne Curtis, Georgina Wilson or Isabelle Daza? :)
Hi Jade! :) I’m only close to Laureen :)
What undies did you wear to go with that skirt? What if someone accidentally steps on your trail and the slit rips and goes higher? haha! At least yung leg pose mo, hindi trying hard! Aranaz clutches are so beautiful! World class! Definitely can compete on par with Judith Leiber! Speaking of Judith Leiber, do you own a clutch by her?
Hindi ba trying hard? Haha! Salamat naman you don’t think so :) I have a pair of shorts pa under it so that my underwear won’t be bakat. So if the skirt rips, I’m still safe haha! Unfortunately no Judith Leiber yet. :)
you look awesome ms. camille!! :)
Thanks Hanah!
Fabulous. :)
Thanks Abby!
The bright yellow skirt is so stunning, I would never be daring enough to wear such an eye catching skirt, but it’s fun to see you style it. ^ ^
