Black Magic

It's no secret that black makes you look thinner.  That's why I wear lots of it.  Haha!  80% of my wardrobe is black -- I'm sure you've noticed that by now.  But one of my favorites is this shirt:

a

Shirt: Espada

Bib necklace: my own creation

Pants: Tracy from Tesco Lotus

Flats: Tory Burch

I like it because of the cut -- it can actually pass as a mini dress if I'm daring enough.  So it's long enough to hide my problem areas.  I also like to fold the sleeves up to give it a different look but this time I opted to keep them long.  I also love that it's plain black so I jazz it up with accessories if I want to look a bit more polished.

So my favorite black shirt + these black pants = instant five-pound weight loss without breaking a sweat.  Haha!

Richard's Pants

Ladies, I think I found the cheaper solution to expanding your wardrobe!  Raid Borrow from your husband's closet!  Heehee!  Come to think of it, I think I used the wrong word because it's not really a "cheaper" solution -- it's actually for free!

I "borrowed" Richard's pants when I had lunch with a new girlfriend the other day.

Top: Easy Pieces from Central Department Store

Richard's pants (which I folded into shorts): Topman

Flats: Tory Burch

These pants are super comfy!  I love them!  Will definitely borrow them again :)

Outfit for Lazy Days

On days when I'm too lazy to dress up, I put on a dress, shoes/sandals, a watch, earrings, my engagement + wedding rings and I'm ready to go.  I like a dress better because I don't need to mix and match my top with my pants/shorts/skirt/leggings.

It's one of them lazy days so I wore this:

a

a

Dress: Platinum Mall

Watch: Technomarine

Shoes: Tory Burch

Notice how I didn't have any accessories on?  I was that lazy!  The only stariray piece I had on were my shoes :)

My Tory Burch Reva flats have finally arrived!  They've been sitting in my mom's house for more than a month and Richard brought them home during his last business trip.

With this outfit, I was ready in less than five minutes.  There was no mixing and matching involved kasi.  I think that's what makes dresses perfect for those days when you're too lazy to dress up. With all the time that I saved, I was able to spend more time doing my make-up.  Heehee!  I'll tell you all about make-up on my next post :)
