I love dresses more than pants, or any other clothing there is. There, I said it! I love them short and fitted, which I find looks best on my petite frame. I'll share with you the newest additions to my closet.
Ensembles Cover Up
I received this cover up as a gift from Ensembles. I love it to bits! It's definitely not your ordinary sarong. Look, you can wear it in so many ways!
I wish I discovered this before I went to the beach. It's the perfect kind of dressy cover up that would make me look glam at the beach. It comes in black, white, or fun prints like the one I got. I can also use it as a beach blanket. Oh, just thinking about all the possibilities gets me excited for my next beach trip!
Gray Dress from Ensembles (P1795.00 -> P899.00)
On my usual visit to Ensembles, I spotted this simple gray and white striped dress in XS and at 50% off! It fit me like a glove, as if it were made for me. It's rare that I find super small sizes in Ensembles, so when I do, I buy it ASAP since I like to wear their dresses in the office.
Black Dress from ForMe (P2,298.00 -> P688.00)
I have so many LBDs already but I couldn't resist this one. I tried the same style in red and black, but I ended up getting black. It was at 70% off! This one also came in XS. Just like what I mentioned above with Ensembles (or any ladies' clothing brand for that matter), it's hard for me to find something that fits since my body is still stuck in the girls' teens wear or tweens' department. I love ForMe's concept of dressing for your body type and I think their strategy is very effective. This dress is for a rectangle body (straight from top to bottom), and it managed to make me look less skinny. I also love the little drape thing going on over the left side of the dress.
Peach Dress from Tyler
This one was from my sister. I think she got it on sale, but won't tell me how much it is. Haha! I'm loving the color. Light peach is very dainty. The fit is very nice, but I'm not too crazy about the racerback part.
Tribal Print Dress from Crissa (P349.75 -> P315.00)
I got pleasantly surprised that Crissa now carries dresses. I love their skinny jeans and I've been buying pants from them since I was in high school! This one was kind of a regret buy though. I tried it on again at home and I found it too short. But I will definitely find a way to make this work.
I think I have a knack for finding nice dresses at rock bottom prices! I almost always get them at 50% off. Where else can I find nice dresses? I'd love to hear from you.
Love,
Helen

DeleteI love dresses too Ms.Helen, I used to love pants pero ngayon kasi dahil lagi nakaupo sa office hindi na naworkout ang butt, di na perky pangit na tignan.Huhuhu kaya dress na ang love ko.:)
ReplyDeleteAlam ko yang feeling na yan. Whole day din ako nakaupo eh. Dresses forever!!! :D
DeleteLove your new dresses! The one from Crissa is really cute. Maybe some tights or stocking underneath will do the trick. ^^
ReplyDeleteI like that suggestion! Thank you, Charlie! :D
DeleteThere are a lot of brands offering dresses at nice price but the challenge is your petite figure! You're lucky to have a great figure!
ReplyDeleteBut Hmmm... Great question! Makahanap nga. :)
It's really a challenge, but I have fun with the process of shopping. Super happy ako when I find one that fits so I buy it agad.
DeleteBtw, I read your OOTD posts and I like your dresses. :D
