such a rarity

As most of my friends would attest, the color palette of my daily outfits would consist of white, gray, black, or brown. I've been trying so hard to inject a bit more color in my wardrobe, as I don't want people to think I'm old(er).

Here's the thing, my new job doesn't really require me to dress up. I can just wear jeans, a decent blouse, ballet flats, a pair of pearl earrings and I'd still look overdressed. Haha! Since I'm (sort of) the boss, I need to look presentable and respectable. Not really the type to care about what other people think about what I wear...so I decided to wear this to work just this Monday...

...so...so...colorful! :) I've had this red skirt since I was a junior in college so you can just imagine how long this has been with me. It used to be 4 inches longer, and I could have worn it before without having it trimmed but risk looking like a hobbit. Kidding. Anyway, I decided to wear the skirt with a plain, cream colored shirt. To add a bit of pizzazz (whatevs), I also wore my pink scarf which I got from H&M in HK almost 2 years ago. By the way, I have not worn those nude pumps in 2 years! Those babies have sentimental value as they were a gift from my late grandfather, Capt. Jake to many of his friends and colleagues, but Lolo Jake to me and my cousins.

It's been a while since I did an outfit post. Been quite lazy to post any, to be honest. Lots of outfit post-worthy get ups, but I haven't really been as patient with blogging as of late.

...I suddenly just realized I have quite a few backlog posts 0_0
