Striped Pastels and Animal Prints

It's been almost two weeks since I had a blogpost. Well, I've been busy looking for work weeks ago then rested since I had a problem with my throat. It was painful. 

I'm back now in Cebu for my work. My training will start this Monday. I feel excited and anxious at the same time. I'm finally entering the real world and I'm scared!

PASTELS - One of the trends this Spring 2012 joining the other trends like Art Deco Graphics, Sportslike Wear, All Whites, Graphic Florals and Tangerines. Pastels are cooler hues and pleasing to the eye. Pastel colors like sky blue, baby pink, butter yellow, etc make a dress more ladylike.

Hype my look on lookbook here.

Wearing pastels can also be paired with another lighter hue. With this look, I paired my loose tank top with my nude colored skirt. Pastels head to foot might look cute but also you may opt for a more balanced look by pairing it with a darker shade of color like the red platforms that I wore on this look.

 

Loose Tank Top - Sabella; Nude Skirt - Uniqlo; Red Wedges - SO! F.A.B.

 

Special Thanks to my pretty close friend, Mae (on the photo below) for making me pretty and Kristhy for the shots! :)

Shoes wishlist for 2012

Yeah right. I'm such a shoelady! I love shoes, shoes, shoes! 

Back in college, I used to wear flats. I actually even hated wearing heels/wedges/pumps because I think it's such a drag for me to wear heels/wedges/pumps, but my mother is opposite. She loves wearing heels/wedges/pumps. She thinks that flats are usually boring to wear! haha! When we buy shoes, we usually have a debate whether I should purchase flats or heels, and I usually won! (haha) Because I'm the one who's going to wear the shoes, not her! 

Now, I just passed the Nurses Licensure Exam and will be entering the real world. I'll be working soon. And guess what? THINGS HAVE CHANGED! I LOVE heels/wedges/pumps! hahahaha! 

Here's my shoes wishlist for 2012:

Teel pumps

Color Blocking Pumps

Pink Booties

The first three shoes are available online at  Chick Flicks.

Wedges!

This wedge is available at SO! F.A.B. 

I guess my mother was right then. I finally realized that wearing heels/pumps/wedges has a lot of advantages. They don't only add heights; they also make you look sexy and more feminine. They also add spice to your outfit.

I hope I can buy at least one shoes on this shoe wishlist! :)

Love, Ericka~ :)
