Right after my Christmas vacation in Hong Kong, I had to squeeze a few errands in for work before going off to another vacation with my family in Tagaytay. You can just imagine how difficult it was for me to get out of bed and dress up. The holidays tend to make people lazy and I was definitely too lazy for my own good that day. Oh, it was a struggle.
So what does a lazy person wear to a busy day? It’s a major no-no to let the people you’re meeting find out that you’ve caught the holiday lazy bug. I still had to look presentable at the very least and make it seem like I had an hour to prepare instead of just 5 minutes. In times like this, dresses trump separates. With dresses, you don’t have to stress over mixing and matching. All you have to do is slip on the dress, grab a pair of shoes and you’re good to go.
The trick here is to choose a dress that is interesting enough on it’s own but at the same time, not too out of this world that it’s difficult to match with anything. The dress I ended up wearing was this maxi dress from Stylista.Ph. Maxi dresses are perfect for lazy days because they’re comfortable but dressy. This particular dress is made of leather and jersey, so the mix material definitely made it more interesting. Since it’s in such a safe color, it’s really easy to style as well. All I had to do was find a statement necklace, a few bracelets and a belt. I could’ve grabbed anything from my closet and they would still match my dress!

Miss Camille!! Why do I always doubt when you blog about what to wear during lazy days?! Maybe because everything looks good on you that you can’t call it a lazy outfit. Eh kasi naman if ako ang lazy, namamalengke ang peg. HAHAHA
I haven’t tried wearing a maxi dress. Siguro ‘pag slim na po ako?!
Hahaha :) Talagang palengke ang peg!!! :)
Leather’s hot! =)))
It is, literally and figuratively!
you look fantastic!!

Thanks Jhaycee! :)
Hi Ms. Camille! I love this outfit post! And your skin is super flawless! Everything is soooo perfect! georgeous reallllllllllly! :-)
Thanks Riz! :)
How easy for you is versatile clothing? Unlike other blogs I came about with same styles going on after each post, yours kinda put me in awe. Like: Whoa, I couldn’t identify this girl. So much at ease with everything she can grab from her closet and wear them in never-ending styles.
Awww thank you Dona! I’m flattered :)
Nice black and gold ensemble!

Ohhh maxi dresses! When will I ever wear you like Camille Co does?? :D soooo stunning! The length of the dress seems not enough for your loooooong legs, Ms. Camille :D
Thanks Ava! Haha! Yes, it’s a little short :)
Hi Ms. Camille. I will be attending a wedding soon and I am now thinking of what to wear. I have this gold dress and am planning to pair it with a mullet skirt with orange prints I found at Apartment 8 at The Ramp (sana nandun pa yung skirt, hihi). Do you think gold and orange would look good together? I am also thinking of pairing it with a red heels with gold sling. Kaso naisip ko rin baka maupstage ko ang bride with the mullet skirt! Haha! Baka matalbugan ko ang train ng wedding gown ng friend ko! Hahaha! What do you think? I’m confused! Haha! Please help! :) Thanks in advance ;)
I think gold and orange are okay but maybe not paired with red heels :)
Whew!! Thanks for the reply Ms. Camille! You are very accommodating! :) Unfortunately the orange-printed mullet skirt is now unavailable at The Ramp Glorietta. I opted to buy the plain black mullet skirt with gold sequins on its small waist band. I think it’s better than the orange one since it’s more classy when combined with my gold dress :) Also, as per my sister’s advise, I will also wear black pumps with it (masyado na daw akong colorful pag nagred heels pa, agaw eksena pa sa wedding, haha! :D) again thanks mucho!! :)
Good choice! :)
Super love♥
Thanks Sasa!
Fabulous styling. The necklace looks like it’s especially made for your dress.
Thanks Corinne!
I really like the belt.
