MARKISM: Denim

Classic Denim on Denim

By Marky - 6:32 AM

Hope you guys are doing well. The past couple of months has definitely been one of the busiest I’ve had so far this year. My life has been a series of projects, one after the other, alongside a full time job, all while trying to keep my blog relevant and updated. Naks! Haha. I'm currently arranging our Cebu trip for next week. I am still thinking which hotel to book. I'm kinda excited with this trip with my 'bestfriend' wooohooo

Styled this classic Denim on Denim look. It can be tricky to wear double denim sometimes but here is my take on that. I love wearing my new Terno I got from Uniqlo.

Acid Wash

By Marky - 8:09 AM

I just want to share my new acid wash jacket from Sm Youth. It's no secret, I love to shop. Many times I just window shop, and I often don't always go through with my purchases, and then sometimes I buy things, only to feel happy during stressful days. My motto is to buy the best you can afford, and yes, this jacket is on sale. I got it half of the original price. Great!

Let's talk about this acid wash jacket. Acid wash needs no introduction, it's a denim that is tone washed in a particular way to create a mottled effect. The marbled effect makes the fabric bolder on dark denim, and more subtle on faded denim. Acid wash denim has been back for a couple of years, but not so "in" at all. Most of the denim washes are black, gray, and blue. You'll find it on jeans, skinnies, and jackets like what I have on here.

I like acid wash jackets best when they are worn with statement tees, skinnies, and footwear. As much as I love to wear neon or bright colors, there is something about it that is screaming to be paired with neutrals.

What I'm wearing: Jacket (Sm Youth), Tee (Fudge Rock), Pants (Mango), Bag (Oxygen), Shoes (Cotton On), Watch (Casio), Sunglasses (SM Accessories)

Bart Simpson gets the High-Fashion Treatment

By Marky - 12:25 AM

Again, I don't know why, but Bart Simpson is like the Gentleman and Giyomi these days. It started since Jeremy Scott did it on a sweater for his Fall 2012 collection, and after the top model and fashion icon Cara Delevigne was spotted wearing a Jeremy Scott Bart Simpson ensemble, from then on-it became a must have. I already have 2 Bart Simpson denim top (I'm a fan) because I know and I'm sure that this trend will be hot for this season too.

The heat makes it so hard to dress up. I need to go shopping for breezy tops and more summer shorts. Maybe on weekends..BTW, I decided to wear my 2nd Bart Simpson top last friday at work. I wanted to be comfy while working, and Yes, I'm overusing the word comfy. Hmmm. It's been months since the last time I wore these pair of flats in the office (Kaya pala ang dami nagtatanong kung bago.) hehe. I love the Neon straps. hihi. Thanks to my lovely workmate Kim for taking my OOTD. :)
