This top reminds me so much of my high school days when we had countless hours of Chinese history classes. Who would’ve thought fashion would ever remind me of those? LOL! Not that they’re bad memories, I was quite good at them actually. I found our Chinese subjects easy. And out of all of them, history was my favorite. To me, it was like storytelling class. Of course to most of my classmates, it was torture.
I think it may be my fondness towards my Chinese history classes that drew me to this blouse. I find its print very interesting. It’s oriental but not in the usual way. No Chinese silk, floral patterns, embroideries or mandarin collars.
I thought I’d make it younger and more modern by using it in a print on print ensemble. Of course, I didn’t want to pair it up with another oriental-inspired print. I wanted to go for something a bit more unexpected like this skirt. What do you think?

Thank you! :)
Your such an inspiration for me camille.
Awww thanks Ram!
I love this combo. Even tho its print overload, it still manages to be easy on the eyes, perhaps because of the colors.
Anyways, I have loved prints since I met you (your blog ;D ) ! I love your style forever! XOXO
Thank you Karen! Must be the colors :)
I really like it when you wear prints all over! ♥♥♥
Thank you Nikka! :)
I want to comment on Chinese but my laptop can’t type Chinese.. LOL.. I learn Chinese until I’m Form 3 (15 years old) in high school.. we follow UK’s education system.. I enjoy Chinese class when i was in primary school but it’s just not fun anymore when i was in high school cuz the exam are too hard.. maybe because i went to a non-Chinese school during high school and the teacher kinda ruin it.. but we didn’t learn the Chinese history though.. just the ‘ming2 ju4 jing1 hua2’ and all that.. it’s not a bad memory though cuz i still love Chinese and it’s a part of me and I’m proud that i can speak and read and write in Chinese! It’s no mistake for calling you Print master cuz you look so chic in this outfit! The print is so unique! I spot the soldier and the colour of the skirt blend well together with your top! and I really love your blue heels, Ms Camille! <3
Thank you Christine! You should be proud! It’s an asset! :)
Hi Camille! What brand and shade of lipstick did you use? :) You look pretty as ever!
Oh my. I forget. Hmmm I think it’s a Korean brand. I’m not so sure!
Thought this was a dress a first sight! What a great match. But I didn’t love Chinese history much LOL.

Haha! Did it bring bad memories? LOL! Thanks Lydia!
There you are again, doing what you do best -print on print! Great look! ;)
Thanks Josh! :)
Just like everyone else I thought this was a dress. I didn’t notice the different patterns until I actually read where you talked about the bottom half being a totally different piece. This combination was really good. You have an amazing eye for prints and mixing them together. Inspired!
Thank you so much Jhalisa! :)
you’re really the best when it comes to print on print outfit. <3 yellow, blue, and green really looks good together. haha. oh, Chinese class. I'm taking up Mandarin class this semester. well yea, it's kinda hard for me. lol. I wish I am Chinese just like you. XD
Thanks Dheya! :) Just make sure you try your best to understand the words. It’s better than just memorizing! :)
thank you for the tip! :) and our professor is good. she never gave us a hard time to understand the lesson. :D
Lovely :)
Thank you! :)
You look lovely , the dress is beautiful !

Not your usual combo! :)
Hi! I’m also a graduate of St. Jude Catholic School! I also prefer “li sher” than “hwa wen”! hahaha anyways, love your outfit! out of all the bloggers, i think you’re the best in print on print! :)))
Thank you Kacai!! :) School mate!
i love everything specially you miss camille!!
Awww thanks Daniel! :)
You are really genius in making print on print. :-) wow, you love history Im fond it also but at the same time I’m pissed off because there are lots of things you should memorize. :-)
Haha! Yes but at least it’s never boring :)
hey. :O ur hair is brown? i thought it was red? :O
It faded :)
the bag kinda blends in with the skirt. very smart! :)
Thanks Jam!
Lovely as always! <3
anyway, history is also my favorite subject until now,
yet for my HS friends it was like an hour and a half of imprisonment, haha :D
xoxo from Japan,
shabrina
Haha! :) That’s too bad for them!
Made me smile! Such color, Miss Camille! The prints on both the skirt and the top blended so well, I thought you were wearing a dress! Plus the complementary hues are not hard on the eyes.
This outfit makes you look very feminine, yet business-like. Someone who likes to make a statement even in an office setting. You are such a head-turner! I wish I had the grit and guts to wear more prints. :-D
Great pair of footwear too. I often see this shade of blue in your outfit posts. Looks wonderful!
http://theickieblog.blogspot.com
Thank you Angelic! I always love reading your comments. :) You should try it out you know. No guts no glory, right? :)
Hi Ate Camille! I’ve been really hooked with your blog lately. I think you’re really really really pretty ^__^
I just want to know if you have blogged about some office attire styles, those that require slacks. I would love to have an inspiration out of your ideas. Thank you!
Thanks April! :) I will! Or you can check out my old ones too! :) But definitely, there will be new ones coming!
Lovely :)))))) so u understand chinese?
http://www.itsgracebala.blogspot.ca
Yes of course! :)
Everything looks regal to me :D Super bagay, you look very pretty and I think you’re the only one who can pull off the print on print without looking cheap and dizzying. By the way, do you read http://www.fashionpulis.com? That site is pretty entertaining pero there are a lot of bashers ng mga blogger friends mo, ang ibang comments are super rude, why is this relevant to your post, you ask? Well, kasi I’ve read there sa mga comments na bagay sayo ang print on print, pero they call Laureen Uy baduy when she wears print on print though. From your posts here and on your instagram, you always say that Laureen is super nice and sweet etc., pero I’m just wondering why she has a lot of bashers, baka tinarayan nya ang mga readers nya?? haha.. hula lang :P
Thanks Kathleen! Hmmm I try to avoid reading these kinds of things. Basta ever since I’ve come to know Laureen, she’s always been a caring and sweet friend to me. I love her. I know she’s a beautiful person inside and out. I guess when you’re on top, the spotlight is on you so you can’t avoid these things.
I really adore whenever you did a print on print, at first glance, I really thought its a dress! Btw, I’m so curious to your speaking voice that’s why I searched on YouTube and found your video clip in sm gtw. I was really amused on how fast you talked! Lol! Well I guess it’s because there are a lot of things going in your mind, people who tend to talk fast are those with lots of ideas on their mind kc, you’re really my Favorite blogger ever! Wish to meet you in person one day, keep on being the best cams! Luvyah!
Haha! Yes I talk so fast! I always forget that I’m on cam LOL! I’ll work on that! :)
Hey Camille,
You look fab as always. Thanks for inspiring us to mix and match fashion pieces and to always put some attitude in the way we dress.
Sincerely,

Thanks Katrin! :)
you changed ur hair color n pla… o color blind lng ako.. haha
saw you on news tv kanina.. cute!!
Haha! No, it just faded :)
You’re so Chinese Oriental. It took me a while to realize that your skirt had bamboo shoots as its print pala, haha! I’m so slow. But I must agree! The top is so Chinese but not in the most stereotyped manner. :) It ain’t no cheongsam, but it still is pretty elegant and classy :D
Thanks Sephie!:)
How do you study for tests when you were in high school?
this is one of my favorite outfits of yours!! :) so preppy <3
I just study! Haha! I have a photographic memory so it’s easy for me to memorize :)
Perfectly matched outfit! I like the color of your heels, very cute and pretty:) I have watched a while ago, “ANG PINAKA” on QTV11 hosted by Mr. Rovilson Fernandez ,talking about the TOP 10 ang Sikat na Photo Fads ”(don’t like the duck face na:)..I didn’t expect that I will see you on T.V. again. You looked hyper and good on T.V.:) I wish you more guestings/shows to come, congrats! xoxo
Thanks Judy! Too hyper! Haha!
i thought it was one whole dress. you’re so good in this print on print style… kudos!! ^__^
Thanks Hazel! :)
I love the top and skirt, nicee. hehe anyway, can you speak mandarin? :)
Thanks Lisa! Yes I can :)
Li Shi! Reading this post made me miss SJ all of a sudden! Those were the dayssss, agree? Btw it’s about time for your name to be included in our list of notable alumni!!
Yes, those were the days! :) Haha! I’m not quite there yet :)
The top and bottom looks good together, at first I really thought that it is a dress :)) but when I continued reading then there I realized that it is a skirt.. Great combination :D
Thank you Donna!
Hi Ms. Camille , we would like to send you cupcakes please let us know where to send it thanks 09152675991 .. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cupcake-charlene-blaire/515842175118342?fref=ts
Hi! Thank you! You can email me :)
History is my favorite subject talaga! I don’t know why but I’m fascinated by it… I love going to museums and looking at vintage stuff, and old places that some people are afraid to go to… hahaha. Your top reminded me of the Magellan-Lapu2x face-off at Mactan, Cebu. hahahaha… >.< I like how you made the top look so modern. Ganda!
Btw, I saw you on News TV earlier … yung Ang Pinaka na photo fads… hehehe… ang cute cute ng voice mo! hehehe…
Haha! Lapulapu? Except this one is the Chinese version :) Thanks Reena!
ohhh… just curious kasi I’m not familiar with Chinese History… I only remember memorizing the 10 dynasties… haha. From what dynasty sila jan and may battle ba? Kasi yung mga armor may mga designs na nag represent ng emperor or something. lol…
Haha! Hindi ko na inalam! :) Mukhang may battle :)
Hi Camille! Love this look. I’m always jealous of your legs that look like they never end! Haha.
I hope you don’t mind if I ask for style advice. :) There’s this party I’m going to and we have to wear something of a 60s to 90s style. I don’t really want to wear anything flashy. What do you think can I pair with a plain long sleeve shirt and chuck taylors? :D
Sorry I commented twice! I thought the first one didnt go through. Mehehe
No worries! :)
Thanks Krissy! Definitely the 90s, go for the grunge or plaid look :)
You’re like the master of print on print! Gorgeous as usual!
Thanks Crixa!
I love it Camille! At first I thought it was a dress where you added a belt to it or something. It really looks lovely. ;)
