The theatre play I unconsciously spent a quarter of my childhood preparing for has come to Manila. Seeing half of the film made me fantasize about Greece all over again, serving as my inspiration for my outfit for last night's run of Mamma Mia!
I've coached myself to cease and desist adding more purple purchases typically from ukay ukay shops but I can't say no when my friend Atong asked me to adapt this long-kept flowy sleeveless blouse in her closet. The design is too flashy and the low cut at the back is too flirtatious to turn down! It's from Debenhams in Dubai, if I'm not mistaken.
Check out the design. Lovely, isn't it?
However, it's too flowy and I can't just pair it with leggings alone. I need to create curves that won't clash with the busy design on my chest.
Curves! Coming up!
Wide and glittery that won't clash with the chest design
Big belt, big watch!
My diamond studs and Wade wristwatch
Enough with the details. Time for the big picture!
It's Friday...and I wanna fall in love! Good thing my BFF and I were blessed to liberate that long-denied kilig feeling during tonight's run of The Sound of Music in Resorts World. Aside from getting smitten from our seats, part of tonight's thrill were reuniting with our friend Hazel and hearing our Batanes soundtrack being belted out in a world class fashion. Not that we sounded horribly unconvincing when we crooned ♫♫ The hills are aliiiive with the sound of music...♪♫♪ when we made it to Racuh-A-Payaman (otherwise known as Marlboro Country)... I suppose.
I was feeling pretty-in-preppy today, making me proudly bring out the latest addition to my list of my favorite things: an argyle blouse from my recent visit to my suking ukay ukay shop. I was easily lured to its red print (how predictable!) and how it made my twins appear smaller. Unknown to many, my idea of delightful prints is hardly limited to tie dye, psychedelic and ethnic ones. Remember this vest?
As my shopping friend MJ advised, I paired this blouse with my dark grey pedal pants as grey compliments the design better than black [slacks]. I snatched my mum's black-and-silver bag and, forgive me for my obsession with reds, mum's doll shoes to comply with the black-grey-and-red theme. Aaaaand it ain't extra seksi enough without my puta red lipstick (not that apparent in the photos below, though) and geeky enough without my Wayfarer glasses!

18 out of the 35 remaining shows are sold out. Hurry!
Speaking of hurry, I ended up slightly ruining this lovely experience with this I'm-late-for-work type of heartbeat. Looking back, it was rather pointless as Act II commenced the minute the clock struck during my supposed log-in time. Would you agree?
I felt my cheeks burn when I earned compliments for my argyle blouse and when the big boys suggested they can play chess out of it and addressed me as Charice for my eyewear.
Before I go welcome my pre-birthday weekend and ♪♫ follow every rainbow till I find my [wet] dreams ♪♫♪♪, I shall leave you with my favorite rendition of "My Favorite Things". What's not to love about The Late Isabel? Enjoy!
