That Little Black Body-Con Dress

I went to the wet market to buy fresh vegetables at a very low price the other week and my friend told me that there's an ukay-ukay stalls located at the back of the market. So, we both decided to drop by when we're done buying all the ingredients for a week's menu plan. We searched through the selected sections but unfortunately they're too expensive just for an ukay-ukay. There's one stall at the end of the ukay-ukay area which was looked over by what I believed, a 10 year old kid. To those who doesn't know, child labor is somewhat normal to this country. Every member of the family will work to sustain their families even if you haven't come up to your legal age. Sad right? But this government didn't do a serious focus on this matter. They only think of themselves and how much of the people's money will be put to their bank accounts. Not to mention this so  called "Pork Barrel Scam" headed by the infamous Janet - Lim Napoles as conspired by a lot of popular political figures in this country. For now, all I can do is to help sign petitions to eliminate this PDAF and to support those who are really against corruption through sharing in Facebook, sending emails about this concern to friends and educate the innocent. Anyway, let's not talk about this for now 'coz this is not really the topic I was trying to post. I just want to share with you my new ukay find and I called it my "My Little Black Body-Con Dress". This piece will now become a staple part of my closet. Finally, I have a simple black dress that's so cottony soft. The cloth is 100% cotton and it's really cool and comfy. I've scanned almost all the boutiques in the mall but can't find a simple black dress without any adornment and 100% cotton. The quality is either polyester and nylon and I sweat a lot esp. when I'm tense so I don't really prefer them. Good Lawd! It still look like it's only been used twice. The color isn't faded and that's one tip you look for when buying ukay-ukay. I'm so happy also 'coz this dress only cost P10.00 (*sinister laugh). Yep!!! How lucky I was!!! I'm really lucky to this ukay-ukay thing. It's like a treasure hunting for clothes and the experience is really memorable esp. if your company is also interested in this kind of activity. Without further waiting, the photos below are some of the good snaps my boyfriend took with me wearing my ukay-ukay find. Sssh!!! It's only us who knows about it. Is it obvious or not at all? Be the judge! :)

went shopping for orchids at SM.

Reviving This Blog

It's been 4 years now since I last updated this blog. I was making a lot of blogs before and can't really update them much 'coz I'm the kind of person who have so much interest in this world. I'm hoping I can revive this blog starting this month. For 4 years, I have accumulated a lot of Ukay ukay finds that are worth blogging and sharing to the whole world. I also have a lot of tips and Do-it-yourself projects using Ukay-ukay clothes. The cheapest ukay-ukay I have bought is worth 5 pesos and it's a baby blue skirt with pleats and it's somewhat similar to today's fashion trend called the circle skirt or the skater skirt. I bought this skirt 1 year before this trend became popular. Today, a circle skirt is worth a few bucks and it also depends upon the brand producing it. This one is made in Japan and at the time I bought this at the ukay ukay stalls, I can't fit on it since I've gained a lot of weight for the last few years and that's the reason why I've lost interest in the fashion world anymore and another reason why I lost my interest in blogging about fashion. But thank God, I've redeemed myself and lost a lot of weight through exercise and healthy eating and my love for fashion came back. I've also made a new blog about my journey to weight loss, my struggles and success story but I still have doubts whether I would like to share the link to my blog here. Maybe next time...

Anyway, the blue skirt below is the skirt I was talking about. The top is also from ukay-ukay. The shoes is not though but if you're interested where I bought it, it's from Melissa. I've seen a lot of imitations of this shoe right now and I'm really sad about it 'coz I bought this at a staggering 5999.95 pesos. Tsk!!! It's really not worth it anymore seeing fake Melissa Lady Dragons.
