Stripes from Dorothy Perkins

I have a huge problem. I went to Glorietta and Greenbelt this afternoon and I couldn't find a dress appropriate for a wedding I'm attending next weekend. I went home empty handed so I ransacked my closet and found this. I actually used this to another wedding before. That was a "night" wedding so this is kind of appropriate. This time, the wedding will start at two in the afternoon so I have to find an appropriate dress.

I had a eureka moment when I saw this dress. I forgot to go to Dorothy Perkins to look for a dress. In that store, you can find lots of cute dresses and shoes! I can't wait to go to Rockwell and look for a cute dress. The wedding is this weekend and I HAVE to go because I have finals and papers due next week.

MAJOR. DIET. NEEDED.

Dress from Dorothy Perkins


Shoes from Schutz
Found this other dress in my closet. My boyfriend gave this to me and I love this LBD. Fringes and ruffles all over! I love it! Paired it with a button down loose top and heels.

LBD-ish

It's called LBD-ish for a reason. First, it's not your typical LBD because it's not as stylish as other elegant LBDs. However, this is the LBD you can practically wear anywhere and anytime! You can definitely dress it up and down. Versatile.

What is it? It's a gift from the boyfriend from Old Navy. It's, well, "made to last"! It's basically an undergarment made into a dress. What's nice about this one is, if you have a perfect body, UNlike me, you can wear this by itself but since the bulges are still here and won't go away, cover-ups are my new BFFs.

Boyfie bought it in black and gray but I still haven't experimented with the gray one. Here's the picture of my not-so-typical LBD.


The arm hole is also an issue. Size is perfect on me but the armhole is big so there really is a need for a cover-up!

Anyway, I got to play around with it and here's the result:

Jacket: Burberry
Shoes: Rubi from Cotton On
Pearl Earrings
Please pardon the taray face.

Shirt: Marks & Spencer
Shoes: Rubi from Cotton On
Teal shirt: Greenhills

I got the dresses a day before going to Macau so I had it washed and wore it immediately! Flights are normally uncomfortable so I opted to wear it with other comfy clothes. I paired it with black leggings and a white jacket because it was getting cold and the gold flats from Cotton On.
What do you think? Which one is your favorite? Do tell!
