There’s no such thing as summer breeze here in the Philippines. Whoever coined the term clearly hasn’t experienced our hot hot hot summer here. (I just had to say “hot” 3 times to make sure I get my point across. LOL!) I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling the intense heat these past few days. To make it even worse, our weather has been so schizo. Thunderstorms one minute, scorching hot sunny weather the next.
The day I wore this floral number, it was sunny all the way. But you see, I have trust issues with the weather. It has been known to fail me from time to time. And you know what they say–once trust is lost, it’s hard to get it back… So the weather and I, we’re working on it. LOL! For now, I still need my warm fuzzy cardigan to protect me from the weather’s schizo tendencies. Ayoko magka-kabag!
Not that there was a whiff of wind at all that day to give me a kabag. You see this wind underneath my skirt? That’s all me. I twirled and swinged like there’s no tomorrow to show my pretty skirt off to all of you. Gee, no thanks wind.
This is another reason why I had to wear a cardigan over my top. It’s got a sexy back!
Cropped tops paired with maxi skirts are always so romantic and a little bohemian. To stay true to that vibe, I styled my hair in a loose braid and opted for long thin strands of necklaces. Styling my outfit this way made me look more carefree which is really the key to bohemian dressing.

SUMMER KUNG SUMMER! :)) Where can a very petite 13-year old girl buy clothes like yours? Thanks! Continue inspiring people. :)
Thanks Shane! :) Have you tried the children’s section? Because in all fairness, they’ve got nice clothes!
SM Dept. Store? Sige, I’ll try. :) By the way, I’m choosing lipstick shades for a fair-skinned girl like me, MAC Coral Bliss or MAC Shy Girl? Then, which is your favorite lipglass/lippie sa Archie Collection bukod sa Betty Bright and Ronnie Red? Thanks! :)
Betty Bright talaga eh. I like the matching lipglosses as well. I’ve never tried Coral Bliss and Shy Girl though. :)

Super Duper Like. The whole outfit looks amazing; sexy crop top, maxi skirt, flower ring, Chloe Saddle bag, hair…just perfect.
The weather is the same. Its suppose to be spring but its freezing cold. One min its raining, the next it’s snowing.
Thank you Naaj! I heard! Global warming is getting worse!
You’re always gorgeous and have an angelic face..I wish i could see/meet u one of these days. I always follow you on instagram.Great job camille.Thanks for inspiring us.May I ask what is your must have makeup brushes??? I’m interested to know.:))

Hi there, Ms Camille! It’s been a while since I leave comment here.. but of course I did read all your post.. just lazy to leave comment.. haha.. I can totally feel you about the hot weather.. because it’s been super hot here in Malaysia for these past few weeks and it’s so hard for the sky to rain.. haha.. but it did rain for the past night.. so, thank God for that!! anyway, i should stop about the weather rant.. haha..
Back to your outfits.. I love your maxi skirt! Love the colour!! I love maxi skirt but i’m only height at 153cm.. I’m still afraid about looking short because maxi skirt is long.. any advice?
Don’t be lazy! :) I love reading comments :) Ahhh, weather rants. We all have them! Haha! Anyway, re: maxi skirts– wear skirts that have less volume and come in straight silhouettes. :)
Hehe.. I’ll try my best leave comment in all your post.. =)
haha.. but can’t complain if we’re living in a tropical country.. raining is consider good..
Re: maxi skirt- i see.. so it’s advisable to not wear like yours, flowy one? instead choose the one with straight silhouette? but i love flowy one.. *sobs*
Awww thanks Christine! :) It can still be flowy naman, just choose the ones with less gathering/shirring
=) you’re welcome! Oh i see.. just choose the one with less gathering with rubber one? Ok! Salamat for your advice!!
this look is on my “favorite looks of camille co” keep it up ms camille :)
Thanks Darleen!
Hey, I’ve followed your blog for ages and adore your style. I’m sorry but I want to point out that calling the weather ‘schizo’ is offensive and ignorant to the actual condition. I know very little but it is a common misconception that schizophrenia is characterized by having two different personalities or moods when in fact it has far more to do with hallucinations.
Hi Suzi! I totally get where you’re coming from but I’m just using the urban term. It’s been used to define dramatic changes in weather so I hope you don’t take offense.
where can I buy the exact design ng skirt but cheaper?
Hindi ko lang sure :)
Outstanding outfit! Great colors combination.
Thanks Pobi!
oh my god your outfit is so colorful and positive and i love it ! I looked at view behind my window and i see snow and i felt bad and now i am watching your photos and i feel so amazing ;)
Aww thanks Maze! :) Summer is coming soon! Don’t worry! :)
Amazing style.

I love everything about this look! Speaking of which, you know naman how much I adore your looks and your fashion sense, that’s why I’m such a fan. I’m hoping that sana you can spare an extra time to check something that I did as a tribute :) The model here is my niece :) http://coltnava11.blogspot.com/2013/03/versions-camille-co.html Hope you’ll like it!

I love your blog and sense of style, and am so envious of your weather! I wish it was sunny in England, were still getting snow! In march!
Oh dear! I feel your pain. But maybe to lessen your pain, you can just think of how uncomfortably hot our weather can get! :)
Camille, I love everything <3 you are the best!!!!
