MARKISM

So many backlogs and this is one of them. Ugh for not updating my blog regularly, as I am very busy as a Visual Merchandiser. So hey there, i'm back! Wanted to share my outfit last November 17 at work. As you all know how much I love sweaters, I got a new sweater again from Surplus Shop. Let's talk about my outfit, it's all about layering. There are plenty of rules but all you have to do is to follow the simple rule of thin to thick, avoid bulky and oversized items altogether. The purpose of layers is to create a warm, sophisticated look that's both smooth and complementary. As you start building a layered outfit, start with the lighter fabrics like what i'm wearing underneath and heavier ones on the top. 

Layering is best used for casual occasions and is generally not appropriate in more formal settings. Keep in mind, however, that a layered combo can include one or more classy pieces, such as blazer matching with a classy bag. Also, wanted to share my new bag I got from Lacoste employee sale. Yey! 

Polo shirt from Memo.

Sweater from Surplus Shop.

Loafers from W. Brown and Bag from Lacoste.

It's no secret how much I love florals. Finally, a perfect time to post these pair I got last August. These days, it seems you can't throw a stone in the street without hitting a slip on sneakers, and luckily found these babies at Sneakysoles last I'm Shoe In Love event in Metrotent. The slip-on trend is still going strong, and this season they've been upgraded. Plains are always there to stay, but a pair of printed slip-on shoes will really up your style. 

Here's what I wore at last November 2 (visited my Grandma) at Garden of Memories. Had a quick photo shoot with my cousin and niece and please forgive all the photos!! haha. Floral slip-ons are best match with white polo and khaki shorts on a very hot Sunday afternoon. Polo shorts are nothing new. They have been there forever. But what's new is the number of ways you can team them up like what I have on here. 

What I'm wearing: Slip-ons (Sneakysoles), Shorts (Uniqlo), Polo Shirt (Ralph Lauren), Watch (Casio), Bag (Oxygen), Eyeglasses (SM accessories)

November 1 is always best spent with your love ones! Visited my Lolo last Saturday at Libingan ng mga Bayani in Taguig with the whole family. It was a hot afternoon so I chose to wear simple and comfy clothes to move freely but at the same time can still look stylish. It's been long since we've been seeing the Hawaiian shirts with bold and nice prints that people wear to beaches with shorts but the prints have come as new redefined 2014 trend for men. Floral prints are always in! 

As you all know how I super love florals. Basic shirts are nice, but print ones like this are even better. Uniqlo has wide range of shirts with different style to match everyone's personality. Their Hawaiian polo shirts are very light, comfy, and unique prints to match every guy's style. Naks! haha

What I'm wearing: Eyeglasses (SM accesories), Polo (Uniqlo), Shorts (DIY), Mandals (Mendrez), Bag (Hongkong), Watch (Casio)

Hey there everyone! If you guys know me well, I'm not a fan of white polo. Wearing white polo is not as easy as you might think. Why? Because I always put make up. haha. Anyway, white polo is a timeless and classic piece of men's attire. Standing the test of time and never going out of style. 

White polo can be worn with pretty much anything, but other colors will need more consideration. The popular choices are black, navy, and white. The best thing about white polos is that they can be worn for any casual occasions. For casual wear they go great with khaki or jeans. For smarter or corporate events as mentioned before they look great with dark pants or chinos. No blazer for me here but you can bring and match it with the green pants. 

What I'm wearing: White Polo (Van Heusen), Pants (SM Youth), Eyeglasses (Binondo), Loafers (W. Brown), Watch (Casio), Belt (Bench)
