Don’t skip these words and scroll down at once! I have a cute surprise for you at the end of this post but first, read what I have to say about my outfit.
A lot of you often ask me what smart casual dressing means. This is smart casual. It’s pretty simple to grasp actually. Just take the term apart–“smart” and “casual”. It basically means to dress casually but not too casual that others might find it inappropriate.
So how can you tell if it’s appropriate enough or not? Imagine you’re meeting your special someone’s family for the first time or you’re going to have lunch with your grandparents. You won’t wear any miniskirts, tiny shorts, sexy bodycon dresses or revealing tops now would you? These are obviously inappropriate and not at all smart. At the same time, it doesn’t mean you have to be all covered up. You’re not dressing for the office nor going to a religious convention. Something like this outfit will do.
It’s smart but still young and fun. I got my crisp top and classic black blazer and paired them with my red skorts to add a little playfulness to my outfit. Then, I added touches of gold to liven up my outfit a bit more.
Romwe blazer | From Hong Kong belt
Kate Spade clutch | H&M yellow and gold bracelet | Wear Mauve black cuff | Tomato gold bracelet (part of set) | Mango black and gold ring | The Lyra Shoppe gold claw ring
Ministry Of Retail skorts
Giuseppe Zanotti heels | Nails by Nail Spa Lounge By Ellabell

Tada! Here’s my surprise for you. A candid shot of me vs. the wind. Remember I mentioned how the wind loves me so much? Well, it doesn’t always work to my advantage. Case in point. See photo above.
Amazing outfit <3 So cute Skorts :) Love the last picture :3
Hmm sana mag post ka din ng pwedeng iwear sa Graduation Thankyouu <3
Thanks Delly! I did na before, one of my earlier posts :)
I love the last photo, it looks nature and you’re so cute :x
Thanks Ngocanh! :)
THE WIINDDDD!!!!!!
I absolutely hate it when the wind blows my hair. I have full bangs too and I get really OC if it splits somewhere in between and parts of my forehead can be seen…. Which almost always happens when the wind blows my hair. lol. I used like windy days because it gets really hot here in Manila. But since I had them bangs, I started hating them. Minsan nga pag nararamdaman ko na na lalakas ang hangin, hahawakan ko na yung bangs/buhok ko para di masyadong magulo. lololol. :)
Gosh I feel you girl! I know your pain! LOL
Sobrang natawa ako sa last shot, it’s so cute! XD I love the outfit, so chic. :3
Thanks Jepotskie!
Agree on smart casual dressing! :)

Glad you do :)
Haha love it! You’re always so pretty naman! :) And I like your take on smart casual dressing. You interpreted it amazingly! <3
Thank you Isa! :)
Haha :D Super love the surprise. You are still Maganda kahit Candid shot. ♥♥♥
Aww thanks Danica!
Ang cute ng last photo! Ay, lahat pala ng photos. Pero yung last yung pinaka-cute! :-) Ang sarap pisilin ng pisngi mo, Ate Camille! Teeheee! Didn’t see that one coming! CAN’T. RESIST. YOUR. CUTENESS.
Haha thank you Coleen!
haha!i didn’t expect that!but your still pretty:)
Haha! Thanks Frances!
Hi Camille! Love the skort! :) can you give me some tips what to wear for party in a theme of “naughty and nice” pero its kinda formal.. :) thanks!
Maybe base it on your color palette. Pastels and sweet things if you’re going as nice and sexy reds, blacks for naughty :)
the last photo are just incredible love your expression :)
Haha! Thanks Sasou!
Hahaha. Napatawa ako mag-isa while in the waiting area sa hospital. Didn’t expect that coming. Nice one!
Haha o diba! :)
I always find this heels of yours very sexy :) And your outfit is very you…
And I was really surprised with your surprise…Parang nagkaroon ng transition from parang ‘woman’ to ‘girl’..
Malabo po ba ang ibig kong sabihin? Hehehe
It’s a good thing po na bumabalik sa dati ang ayos ng buhok ninyo pag nahanginan. Ang buhok ko kasi parang tingting na nga, kapag hinangin pa, WASAK na WASAK pati mukha…:D
Haha hindi naman, I get what you mean :) Alagang Pantene kasi haha! :) Thanks Gladys!
In fairness, pantene na ako ngayon and really, maganda sa buhok..:)
Ang tingting kong buhok ay lumambot at dumulas pero wala na talagang pag-asang maging buhay ang buhok ko, eh…Ipinanganak na atang ganito na tila patay lahat..:D
And I really like yourl hair…Maganda and really natural…You didn’t rebond it, did you Miss??
Nope I didn’t :) Oh diba, Pantene is the best! :) Slowly, mabubuhay ulit yan :)
hahaha. That’s candid shot is priceless, cute! :) mahagin sa labas. :-D
smart-casual, I’ll keep that in mind. short+skirt=skorts.
xoxo jhaycee
Thanks Jhaycee!
hahahaha I laughed so hard after seeing the last photo!! This is the cutest!!! :)
Thank you Danna! :)
Hi Ms. Camille! My friend told me that she saw you at the Face Off. And i was so inggit when she even told me that you made chika chika to her because at that time she’s waiting for her ate, I think you’ll remember her hehe.
I was laughing so hard when I saw your surprise at the end of your post! Hahahahaha!!! I hope next year there will be a contest, “Post-Valentine Date(Chikahan Date, actually lol!) With Camille Co” I’ll definitely be joining! Lots of love!
Yes I remember her! :) Malay natin, maybe that will happen :)
Haha love the last shot! And I love Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, they are all so beautiful and creative!

I love them too! :) Thanks Lydia!
..those sexy Giuseppe Zanotti heels! <3 you have an amazing bag+shoe collection!
Thank you Lauren!
i really like your candid shot :) kahit na nakikilaban ka sa wind and nanalo ang wind maganda ka parin :) diba po ang skort yun yung partner mo sa prom or any other occasion? corny po ba? kasi po sa akin oo. hahaahha. :)
Hahaha corny nga! :)
i thought the surprise was another giveaway. xD
you’re still pretty even though you hair was raped by the wind lol.
Haha thanks Pauline! :)
Candid shots are cute, but not to a point that it’s uber pangit na. I have like classmates before in high school that would post those pics of me that my face is like… you know… HAHA I have to like kulit them to delete it. HAHA Candid like yours is fine. Smart casual… hmmm…. I’ll keep that in mind =))) OH! And I love the color of your nails =)))
Haha! I know what you mean. I have tons of those as well :) Thanks Trisha!
Love this look, Ms Camille! and that candid shot is priceless! I can feel you about the wind, Ms Camille! =D
Thanks Christine! It can get frustrating!
Akala ko naman yung surprise mo is an announcement that you have a Valentine’s Date today! Haha. But cute candid shot. I would never look that cute on a candid shot. Haha.
I hardly ever as well! Haha! Thanks Patrice!

Haha I thought when you said na don’t scroll down muna because your surprise is that when you turn around TADA it’s actually shorts and not a skirt, and I was like, duhhh kaya nga “skort” ang tawag diba? So no surprise there —- THEN I saw that last shot haha yun pala ang surprise, pwede na maging sub ni Sadako lol
Pwede na diba? I shall put that in my “in-case-I-don’t-succeed-in-my-chosen-career-path-job-list” Haha! :)

Maybe it’s about time we breakup, there’s no mutual understanding between the wind and I haha! :)
I love the candid shot! Soo cute! :) You are still adorable Ms. Camille! This post is very informative and good for me I have my own skorts!
Thanks Nelayish! :)

Thank you Ivy! :)

Haha! Thanks Abba! :) Happy Valentine’s!
Hahahahaha! :) That was really funny! :)) Hm. Do you go to derma clinics too Camille? :)
If I have time :)
“You won’t wear any miniskirts, tiny shorts, sexy bodycon dresses or revealing tops now would you?” Hay nako te. Ang DAMING girls nowadays ang walang pakundangan sa pagsho-shorts. Walang pinipiling lugar! Kahit maitim ang tuhod at tadtad ng cellulites sa hita, gora lang! SHORTS LIKE NOBODY IS WATCHING ang peg! haha! Akala nila ata purkit naka-shorts sila, hot, fashionable, at sexy na sila eh. Kaya girls who are guilty of this crime, learn from Camille Co! haha! You can’t “shorts” your way in life mga ‘te! Pero realistically and truthfully speaking, I highly doubt if those kinds of girls ever came across your blog kasi if they did, dapat marami na silang natutunan from you.
P.S. Ang taray lang ng candid shot mo! Serving some Les Miserables realness! http://guydavis.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/2012-blog-les-mis-poster.jpg KINABOG MO ‘TE! Yung kanya desk fan lang! Yung iyo, INDUSTRIAL FAN ang ganap! haha!
HAHAHAHAHAHA Paano ba yan, wala akong blue eyes! Darn my genes!!!
Shorts your way in life!! Such a quotable quote! Haha! :) Thank you Tasha! Malay mo, may maligaw :)
perfect smart casual look <3
definitely love your blazer, heels, and the touch of gold! :D

“pabayan-na-lang-si-hangin-kesa-walang-malanghap-na-hangin” photo (referring to your candid shot). hahahaha
Haha how creative!!!
I kinda miss your brighter hair color, but I’m slowly getting used to your darker shade :) You still look really pretty though, even with your hair behaving like wildfire with the wind, haha! ❤ That pair of skorts might be a girl’s new must have this summer, actually. More moments of frolicking on the sandy beaches :P
Haha! Thanks Sephie! Wait for my new blog posts w/ red hair. I think it’s a good change :) This is copper still :) And I agree– skorts for summer, very fitting!
Cute look. I like your bag.
