Something Blue

Early this month, my family attended a wedding of a family friend. It was my sister's sister-in-law's wedding day, and I don't know if it would be right for me to also call her sister-in-law, but yeah, we went to celebrate with her. As all brides are on their big day, she was gorgeous, blushing, and radiant! It's so nice to see people deeply in love, and I'm so inspired and happy for the couple!

The wedding and the reception was held in Hyatt Hotel in Manila, and this was my OOTD. I always get excited with special occasions because I get to wear pretty cocktail dresses.

 

I like my dresses in dark or jewel tones, because these colors look best on my pale skin. I'm not so much of a fan of light colors and pastels because they make me look washed out. I'm liking this royal blue Venus Drape Bubble Dress from Karimadon. I can wear it in many ways: one sleeve over my arm, cinched with a belt, or I can just let it loose. As you may have noticed, I'm not used to piling on big and loud accessories. I like to keep things simple.

An evening party requires a small clutch, and I am so glad that this mini clutch from Carolina Herrera is roomy enough to fit my phone, camera, oil blotting sheets, and lipstick!

I'm also wearing my comfy heels from Naturalizer. This pair is a lifesaver as it fits almost any of my outfits - from day to night. I leave it in my office locker sometimes, so I can wear flats en route to the office, and just slip into this pair of heels for when I arrive.

I'm loving how the couple veered away from traditional color motifs for their theme. The gowns of the flower girls were pink with black accents, and their wedding cake is in peach and black. Never knew a black cake would also look nice. :)

Love,
