SKIRTED CANDY CANE || MERRY CHRISTMAS || HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA

 

 

Merry Christmas Everyone!

It's a bit late to greet merry Christmas especially here in the Philippines, geographically today is December 26, but I still feel Christmas and I know it shouldn't be Christmas by date only but the whole time, and whole year Christmas in our hearts. 

December 25 is mom's birthday and the whole family decided to spent it and Christmas Day in a local mall near in our area, because we spent the "noche buena" few hours before 12:00 struck until dawn. We spent the time traditionally with our relatives and my little nephews and nieces as well. I'm still so lucky even I have an injured right hand, the details story on it will be on a separate blogpost. So nothing special just a seldom time and day that we spend each others time with each other as well, doing nothing at all just chillin' on the mall. I say this mall is kinda special to us because since we were kids (me and my sister) we used to spend our family day here, even the time comes that many commercial malls that has been built around, we're kinda feel at home on to this place. By the way, the mall is called "Sta Lucia East" Grand Mall. My boyfriend is with us too, yearly he used to spend his Christmas Day on our home after he spend "noche buena" at his parents house, today is a little different to him. I was surprised because he never gave me flowers on christmas day, it's has always been Mama that he use to buy one. Well, according to him it wasn't his christmas gift yet... (hehe finger's crossed! )

There you have it, after a long time I miss blogging, it wouldn't be quite long either but my wounded right hand explains why. Merry Christmas to all guys! Let's pray for another wonderful year ahead of us. And let's pray also for the unfortunate ones that should have been merrier and happy like us but in a difficult situation now. Let's pray that our dear Lord end their suffering and  give them a  good life they deserve.

Love,

Cassie

THE POLKA DOT FROCK || DOTTY HISTORY

• Just a little trivia, did you know that polka dots has been around since mid 1920's? I found out that after Ms. America been photographed in a polka dot swimsuit in 1926, American's been in-love with this flecks since then. A few years after Disney present the ever beloved Minnie Mouse on a polka frock with the cute bow. Read more about the brief history of polka dots and how it evolves written by Chloe Pantazi of The Hairpin.com

• I never got the chance to wear this dress after I purchase it few months back in a thrift store. It's original price is Ph80 ($2 approx) then it went on sale I got it for Ph35, few cents of a dollar I think. My long term relationship with thrifting is not a secret to anyone, I start thrifting clothes when I was only 14 years old, a Fashionista wannabe back then, but I don't have the knowledge on the "basics". I just wear what I love and pairing uncomplimentary pieces together. ;) I'm not a fond of polka dot really but as I grew older (with this blog) I learn to appreciate this very antique style of clothing.

• The last dot polka dot dress that I wore is last seen here . Have worn this, when I was just recovering by flu, but yet suffer symptoms of cough and cold. Sobssss, I just didn't give the justice that the dress deserves and to my pictures too, I might pair with this scarf, pin curls or something rockabilly-esque look. What do you think?

SNOW WHITE IS FILIPINA

BLACK IS HOT, I AM NOT!

Though summer is a perfect season for wearing neon colors, vivid hues and pretty pastels, I push to be different at this time. Even the dark colors are perfect for cold seasons, though I broke fashion rules wearing black on summer days! Why not??

Being Round and My Pair of Scissorhands

I have announced to my last post that I have cut my hair for abut 5 inches.. Now.. I cut them another 3! Woo! It looks so long still. I come to the point of cutting my hair because I am kind of tired with it. The dry part from the middle to the ends the muddle up ombre blondie… Though I love my “messy hair” I think my hair needs a refreshing cut.

I never thought I can project piercing eye on a picture ;)

On the other hand maybe you have noticed that I am becoming rounder and rounder… oh.. Food and stress is the main culprit! I am always tired and I trained myself to thinking things! And I ended up like a piggy Fashionista Hamster.. Yes a hamster! Oh well, I hope I will find time to work out for my body to healthy at least.

To tell you honestly when we took this picture we’re planning  for dinner out… Guilt-ridden situation Shame on me… and take note, we’ve gone for  a Korean Buffet.. Guilty pleasures indeed..

SANGUINE

Red or sanguine is my 2nd  favorite color next to white and black. I occasionally used red clothing although I don’t have many red cloths in my wardrobe. But as of Sanguine itself as of to the five temperaments, I have a big amount of sanguinity on my personality, like I am quite creative with full of ideas in my messy mind. I sometimes struggle on following tasks and chronically late, tend to be very forgetful and a little bit sarcastic (which sometimes I hate my sarcasm). And as the sanguine person I love being warm hearted and optimistic but I don’t really think I am fully extrovert human being. 

Thriftier's Outfit: 

Floral Crown - DIY

Floral Dress - Rachels

Red Coat - Thrift

Platform Boots - Asian Vogue

As of my outfit, you see the floral dress that I've worn last post because we shoot this the same day. Just had an idea of two looks in one shot. I had this dainty red coat for over a year now, "as usual" again this is my first time to grab and wear it from the closet. I bought it, I think half a dollar or less on our Local Thrift stores downtown. I add this statement head crown which I really enjoy doing.

I think I project too much on this last photo..How about you? Are you a Sanguine person too? Or melancholic, choleric, phlegmatic?

Feel free to share your thoughts and your blog links too, I love to follow back.. <3

Sanguinaria,
Cassie
