Getting ready for Summer 2013

Summer's here finally!! I'm so happy 'cause I don't have to worry about my acads for 2 weeks or more. My school stuff has been taking too much of time but that doesn't matter anymore. I'm back now!! Whoopee!! 

Last last Sunday, it was very hot and the weather was a killer that I just had to wear something cool and breezy so I wore a white dress and my fave pair of teal slip-on flats for my pre-summer look since this was taken a week before my summer vacation. Hehehehe

White sleeveless dress: Vintage Store
Teal sandals: Forever 21


As I have said before in my previous posts, you can find a lot of swell clothes in vintages stores and thrift shops. I bought my white dress from a thrift shop in Katipunan, it still had tags on it meaning that it was brand new, for a very cheap price. I liked it because of it's bow-like collar. You don't usually see collars like that. I just really like buy stuff that you can't see in malls and other boutiques.

Sorry, I don't have a clear picture of my teal sandals but as you can see from the picture, they're just flats with a T-strap that connects the whole thing. It has that chill, summer, hippie look to it and as far as I remember, during the 70s, women started to wear T-strap sandals but I'm not sure though, just basing this from a picture I saw of Linda McCartney one time when she was with Yoko Ono. I'll try to look for that picture again. Hehehe


To give the whole outfit that fresh summer look, I pulled up my hair into a bun, let loose my bangs (you can see a chunk of wayward hair over there hahahaha) and added a touch of bohemian to it. Can you guys see it? It's that lock of braided hair that goes around my head. I've always wanted to do that to my hair but it's impossible 'cause I'm not really an expert when it comes to braiding and hair-styling. So I searched up braided headbands and bought online. HAHAHAHA I'm such a sucker for boho stuff!

And since I wore to church, I wore my pair of large pearl earrings c/o my mom (i don't really like wearing accessories but she forced me) and voila! My pre-summer look is done. 

How are your summers going so far? I'd love to hear form all of you. Enjoy and have fun, friends!
