Forgive me for my super late post. I hope some of you are still awake. I’ve been so busy these past few days I can barely find the time to blog. The result? Tons of backlog! Actually, these photos have been hidden away in my laptop for waaaaay too long. So no, I’m not in cropped tops everyday. It just so happens I’ve been posting a lot of them lately. But what’s wrong with cropped tops anyway? I plan to make the most out of this trend before they vanish!
As you may have noticed, I almost always wear something over my cropped tops. These jackets, vests and cardigans are my security blankets. They come in handy whenever I feel a few judging eyes staring at me.
This oversized kimono, in particular, reminds me so much of Star Wars. I have no idea why! (I’m so weird.) The phrase, “May the force be with you” keep popping in my head! Maybe it’s the color and silhouette? They make this kimono so very ninja/Luke Skywalker material, don’t you think? Or is it just me? Okay, maybe it’s just me. If it IS just me, forget what I just said. LOL! FYI, this kimono is in leather. So I make look like I’m not sweating like a piggy in this outfit but I am. Don’t let the lack of fabric fool you. This doesn’t mean I regret getting this kimono though. I love it too much I’m willing to sweat it out, like a true fashion trooper. (Subtle “stormtrooper” reference there, self high-five!)

Tada! They work with my outfit as well.

Thanks Jeline! :)
Hi Camille! I recently got a black printed flowing shorts from Zara too because they look so comfy and cute, but i’m not so sure what top or blouse would go with it aside from the cropped top you wore here.
Loose blouses! :)
I love your bag! I love your bag! I LOVE your bag!!! Your entire outfit is uh-MAY-zing! I usually don’t comment and am usually a silent stalker, but i absolutely adore your style and you are truly inspiring. You are dragging me into the world of fashion just by your sheer amazing fashion power.
Hahaha! :) You love my bag! :) Thank you kym! Keep commenting! :)
I mean your Heels!! :))
I love them too! Haha! :)
I love your whole outfit, especially your shoes!!! Love it! :)
Thanks Tyrrah!
Ohh gosh! Ballasox flats are so damn comfortable! I hope they open a store here in the Philippines so more designs will be available:)
They’re available already! :)
Stunning outfit :-) love your flats its really comfy. :-)
Thanks Maebs! :)
wished that all ninjas looks like you..haha..

Thank you Ira!
Love the top, this outfit really suits you <3
Thanks Izzy! :)

Thank you Hazel! :)
I have a bag the same print with your flats. :)
How cool!

Thanks Corine!
People will be staring at you because you’re too pretty hihi <3
Haha! Thanks Dana!
Love this cropped top, Ms Camille! You make me want to try cropped top so bad.. sobs.. Love your heels and the flats as well.. Love this white out look but I don’t dare to wear this shorts.. it looks like lingerie and look so good to sleep with.. =D
Thanks Christine! :) LOL! My shorts do look comfy!
Yes, it does! It looks so comfy that i want to wear it to sleep! =D
Hi, Miss Camille! I got a kick out of your Star Wars reference! Cool way to express your choice of outfit here. Despite the very edgy looks these pieces have, I admire how you chose them in feminine silhouettes and fabrics. The white cover-up (kimono?) is stylish in its clean, oriental look.
As for your accessories, the choice of bag and bangles made the white of your clothes the main statement. The bangles enhance your slender wrists, and the bag is both versatile and chic. The green color is rather earthy, and it grounds the entire look very well for its size and shape. It made me think of a peaceful day out to gather your thoughts. :-D
Both shoe choices you have here are to die for! Your heels remind me of a certain shoe I saw in an action movie, and your Ballsox flats are out of this world! They certainly make a statement.
I’d really like to say that I can imagine you in an X-Men movie with this outfit. You exude a powerful form of femininity in white.
LOL! That would be so cool! Xmen!! :) Thank you Angelic!
So pretty! The neutrals together are just stunning

Thank you StyleGodis!
I die at the shorts! The lola in me wants to say…”ke-ikli-ikli at ke-nipis-nipis naman ng salawal mo iha!” But the leather kimono cover up takes care of that, right? :)
Hahaha! I’m so sorry lola Shirley! :) Yes it does! :)
YIPEE. i’ve been waiting for you to have a japanese – inspired outfit post, and now here it is. the shoooz!! <3
The shooooz! :)
been stalking you since the past 2yrs *LOL and i must say you’re really my no.1 fashion inspiration indeed ! :) wish i can also be as fashionable as you are like to wear anything and all because i don’t know i’m just too chubby :/ urghh but yeah i really hope to meet you soon :) <3
There are always a lot of ways to work around your body shape, just like how I try to hide my flaws as well. :) Kaya yan! :) You just have to tweak the looks a bit to suit your body type :)
If that is how a true ninja will be look like, I will not feel creepy or freak out if I will ever see one. Lalapitan ko pa and ask, “sinong fashion inspiration mo?” Hehehe.
Hahaha! :) Thanks Lourine! But they might not be able to fight well LOL!
Hi Camille,
I bet you wore this outfit during summer because you won’t be wearing that kind of outfit these days ;)) Too sexy and light for rainy season :))
You better start blogging your Macau trip before you go to KL so it won’t add up pa sa backlogs mo and besides I’m excited not just your outfit shots but also your adventure there! It’s been 2 years since I went there :) I love their ala-Vegas city lights!
Yes during summer! :) It was so so hot then :) And yes, blogging about my Macau trip soon!
San ang punta natin? Resort o matutulog? Anyway, I adore the way you dress up. Not the usual pants and blouse. :)
LOL! Tulog haha! :) Thanks Nicole!
Long legged Cams! You look like a beauty queen!

Love that leather kimono :D I’d wear that with some kind of Harajuku print :D I also love how your accessories are Star Wars-y too :)) I might die if I wore leather in the Phiippines, fashion trooper indeed!

I wouldn’t mind seeing you in cropped tops! With that flawless skin? Nobody should even dare judge you!
Thank you Rose! :)
yup cropped tops are so in now, however in flat chested, don’t think it will look good on me. beautiful :)
I’m not that blessed as well though! Thanks johanna!
Stunning, chic and beautiful! I love the kimono outerwear and how you paired it with a same colored cropped top – they look like they belong together http://keslytales.blogspot.com
Thank you Kesly!
GAWD! This is to die for! I really love this Ms. :))))) Kabog!
Thanks Kenny! :)
yay new outfit post! <3 haha! i wish the people here in the Philippines will be more open about fashion and comfort! It's not cold here in the Philippines to wear pants and shirts all the time! People here need to be open minded! i super hate it when they look at me with their weird faces if i dress up like this! :))
True! Who knows, maybe some day! :)
So clean and fresh! Even though your Zara shorts has a beach-y vibe to it, it suits very well with the whole ensemble parin :D
I have a Q, Camille, can you partner your gold watch with a silver swarovski bracelet? I always wear my gold watch and then my tita gave me this cute silver swarovski bracelet and baka kasi magtaka sya bakit di ko sinusuot bigay nya at baka isipin na di ko inaappreciate, but the truth is that I’m not pretty sure if you can partner a gold watch with a silver accessory. Help? :D Thankies :*
It can work! Mix a number of them para mukhang sadya :) Thanks Kathleen!
Cropped tops are so in nowadays and we see them worn by many bloggers. I just wonder where you can wear those cropped tops in the Philippines, especially in Manila. I mean yup they look cute and nice, but people would be staring at you in public places. Wouldn’t it be too uncomfortable?
That’s why I always have a jacket on. :) People don’t really mind :)
Seductive LooK lang ang Peg… :D Why ur so pretty? hahaha <3
LOL! Thanks Sarah!
I didn’t think that the kimono was in leather, it looks so light but is super stylish. The heels are so pretty

Why are you so genius when it comes to FASHION? Haha! :)
I just love every outfit you post. And this one, it may look so light yet so stylish. :)

I’m a genius in math too! LOL! Just kidding :) Thanks KC! :)
Love those shorts! Parang lingerie lang. I suddenly remember that episode on Gossip Girl na parang naka nightgown lang si Serena and then she just layered on a nice coat and then heels and then went somewhere with Dan (or some other guy but I forgot na kung sino… lol). She looked awesome in that outfit. :) Parang Serena din yung peg mo dito. :)
Thanks Reena! Serena pa talaga ang peg! :)
i love your crop tops…. Crop top is so good for summer… bawas bawas tela ng damit haha…

Thanks mafalda!
It reminds me of Lea’s robe! @o@ Kulang nalang you’d sport the matching pigtail buns, lolz! Fashion trooper-Storm trooper, I have to admit, mej natawa ako dun =)) The fabric of the kimono doesn’t look leather-y in the photos though :o
Haha! Thanks Sephie! :) Yay! Natawa ka!
And there’s another reason why you’re my favorite local fashion blogger! Your style is outstanding amongst all!
Di ko keri ang shorts na yan! So nipis! They will get soaking wet in no time (no pun intended). haha!
Thank you Tasha! LOL on the no pun intended! :)
I love this look! Crop tops and the white out trend are definitely one of those that I wish could last. They just look fresh and when you’re living in the PH, it could prevent heat stroke. Haha. Snakeskin > leopard, imo so loving those flats :D
I agree! I wish they would last forever or until I get too old or fat that I won’t be able to wear them anymore LOL!
