Finally! A maternity #OOTD for y’all.

To those of you who’s been asking me to post my maternity #OOTD, here it is. Sorry if it took me a couple of months to actually have the courage to do a fashion blog post. You see, I don’t really feel pretty during my first trimester. Honestly, most of the time I feel awful. I just make it a point to dress up and fix my face everyday because I have friends nastier than me. Eh ano kung buntis ako at pwedeng maiyak ako sa comment nila? Basta sasabihin nila sa akin that I look freakin’ awful and haggard! Ganyan ang true friends. Sarap ilaglag sa drain.

Anyway, this is what I wore yesterday for my EMR (emergency) OB visit. Nothing really alarming, it’s just that my allergic rhinitis was bugging me already. The runny nose and clogged nose is something I am used to, but the dry, itchy eyes? Not so much. I was supposed to see my ENT but was advised to visit my OB first.

So that’s why I’m sporting my Ray-bans inside the mall. Too much light is making my  eyes more itchy and dry. And that’s why I have a bare face here. Maitatago naman ng shades, why bother?

Top: Stolen from the sister | Plaid Pink Shorts: RRJ | Maternity Belt: Robinson’s Department Store (not shown) | Silver Sandals: Payless | Bag: CLN | Sunnies: Foldable Wayfarer by Ray-Bans | Earrings: Divisoria

On to my outfit, I’m wearing my sister’s top here paired with my old shorts – unbuttoned and secured with my maternity belt. Finished off my entire look with my preggy sandals. This silver sandals I got from Payless is love. Wasn’t ale to blog about it though. I got it for my friend’s beach wedding and has been my default sandals. It’s rubber soles are perfect for me as it gives so much grip that I really need nowadays.

I love my roomy top and I love the length. It’s perfect to hide the maternity belt and gives enough coverage for my baby bump. The top also has a ribbon at the back which gave me waist definition.

And oh! My CLN bag to carry all my preggy necessities like my Mommy Book, bottled water, extra undies, tissues, alcohol. Whew!

I love being pregnant. And I am now starting to enjoy dressing up because finally, I have a baby bump to show everyone! Haven’t gained much weight if you notice (and the scales are telling me the same thing) except for the obvious bigger tummy so I’m proud to say that I haven’t bought a single maternity piece. Most of the things I’m wearing are actually my pre-pregnancy clothes. It’s just a matter of mixing and matching.

Let me leave you with my paparazzi shot which the sissy took. Sino mag-aakalang batang buntis ako?? Sino??! Hihihihihi…

First and foremost, sorry for the bare face. :’( The companion resents make up so I was forced to get out of the house with only my BB cream on the face and my Ray-bans. I know he’ll tease me to death if I even try to bring out my tube of Covergirl lippies. Men! They are crazy! But he took my look shots here so I would like to give the companion a pat on the back for doing so. :) Nice shots! Next time ulit! Hindi ko lang talaga mapapalagpas tong magandang pader na to as background eh. Nyay!

Now on to more important things, like say, fashion…

I used to hate polos. I think they are overly formal and they seem to not match my body. I look boxy and weird. But as I grow up and learn my body more (and well, fashion in general), I learned that it all boils down to the fit and fabric. If your polo have a soft fabric, getting it one or two size larger is okay. Specially if you are chubz chubz like me. They even hide your unwanted fats better than anything. Plus you can use them for layering. :) Flexible and fashionable. My kryptonite.

And since it’s scorching hot here in Manila, I decided to pair my lose polo with a pair of denim shorts. I wore it as I do some errands on a weekend. Soft polos are really something. Promise! Even if they got sleeves on, they are still very comfy and breezy. This polo is a personal favorite. You’ve probably seen it here on my blog a gazillion times already. Nyay!

To add oomph and add color to my look, I decided to wear my sister’s yellow sneakers from Fila which I stole from her. Nyahahaha.. They got it in size 3! Yay! But they are not comfy. Nay! Walking in them proves difficult specially at the mall. :’( The insoles are a bit hard. And my feet is crying already by noon time. I was forced to get a pair of cheap slippers.

Finished off my look with minimal accessories. If it’s hot, we all want to be as comfy as we can. So less clutter is better. Just my favorite earrings (which received some compliments that day), a simple bangle and my snakeskin bag (overused).

So what do you think of my look?

P.S.: Please join me as I welcome the companion on my blog. That’s him with his grunge slip ons and me with my comfy slippers. My feet looked so teeny tiny compared to his humongous feet. Hmp! And oh! I am so inlove with his slip ons! I want one for my self!! Ehem! Ehem!

First and foremost, please say hello to the post-holiday me. *wave*wave* Gained a little of baby fats like the rest of the Philippines and I am now on post-holiday syndrome. You know, that time of the year when the Ayala Triangle is full of yuppies trying to sweat all the holiday fats away. Count a couple more weeks and they’ll disappear one by one. Including me. Harhar!

Them red clutch is actually my Christmas gift to sissy. I just snatched it from her for my look shots. These babies sure adds an extra glam to my look. Agree? :)

My shades and red lippies made this very Audrey Hepburn-esque. I love that with simple details, you could actually glam up a look or dress it down a bit.

This is one of my favorite looks so far. Sexy and sophisticated. Very 2013 Reigne. Hahahahaha!

LBD: random US brand | Heels: Gibi Collection | Belt: G. Gozum | Clutch: Guess | Sunnies: Foldable Wayfarers by Ray-ban | Hair: Goody Spin Pins | Earrings, Bracelets and Ring: Random from Quiapo and Divisoria

You’ve seen this dress here in my blog twice already (see here and here). And on both occasions, I tried to dress it down by pairing it with flats. So this time around, I tried to glam it up a bit by adding reds on my entire look. The slim belt and the heels made it party appropriate. And yet, since its black and skirt length is just right, it’s also perfect for office. This look is really one of those day-to-night outfits.

Here are some of the other ways I wore this dress. Now you know why I love LBDs! Such a classic!

I’m not a jeans kind of girl. I would find all excuses not to wear jeans. While most Pinoys find them a staple of piece of clothing, I can live without them. But lately, I had a new found love for jeans. I bought a couple just last month and I find myself wearing them over and over.

This particular Levis soft jeans is my favorite. Its just too comfy! I love jeans but I’m sticking to soft ones. The main reason why I hate jeans (aside from the fact that its hot) is because I find it rough. I want my legs to breathe hence my love for skirts. But soft jeans are the best! They hugs my legs in such a tender way. Very comfortable. It don’t feel like I’m wearing jeans at all!

Paired them with a tee and denim jackets and I’m all set. That’s maybe one of the reasons why people love jeans. You can pair them up with almost anything and you can’t go wrong. I just added a little drama on my look by wearing my cute scarf. Ginaw na ginaw lang ang peg ko. Eh well! Maginaw sa office, parang white Christmas so keri!

Again, I kept my accessories to a minimum. Matanda na nga ako! Inaamin ko na. Hahaha! Less clutter more fun na ang drama ko! But I am loving it. I just find the right pieces and I’m all set. No more excessorizing for me. Ang bigat din kasi!

As you noticed, this is a late post. I’m still sporting my bun here. Thanks to the Goody Spin Pins I got from Garry. Hahahaha..

more posts with me wearing jeans. I got a maroon one and a mustard one. I also have a royal blue pair. Hahahaha! Sabi sa inyo nag-hoard ako eh! I’ll be experimenting on them more. :) Stay tuned!

Last Friday was our team’s year end party. We were asked to wear something Red or Green (Christmas colors). I totally forgot all about it really, lucky I opted to wear this green top.

Paired it with my cutie (old) skirt. This one also has sparkles all over. Which I can’t show you because I don’t have a decent camera. Thank God I am finally getting the hang of my S3 camera hence the decent photos. But not decent enough to show you how cute my skirt is. :’( I want a new camera please baby please.

Anyway, long sleeved top + skirt has recently become my go to look. It just never seem to fail me! I swear I look clean and crisp and I love love LOVE the silhouette. You guys should try it out. Specially you chubby ones and well, you petite girls like me. :)

Noticed that I again stay away from much accessories. Maybe I really am getting old because I can see now the beauty of less. :) Just those brown belt, huge loop earrings and ribbon ring is enough. Never too much.

And oh! Allow me say how happy I am for coming up with a high-low outfit. I am not against wearing branded clothes and I so love cheap items. I think mix and matching them is a great way to make sure that you are fashionable within budget. :) Fashion doesn’t need to be pricey alright? Just have fun always and be confident.

We are a couple of days away from Christmas. Are you done with your Christmas shopping yet? :) Decided to just give money to my inaanaks. Most of them are teenies already and I know that they’d appreciate money more. I should know! Hahaha..

Have a great week ahead!

The moment I saw this sweatshirt, my jaw literally dropped. And even though G.p is giving me that judgmental look of hers (the one that says, “what are you thinking aubrey?’) I still hold it like dear life. I know I have to get it!

These pictures doesn’t give it justice at all! :( You can’t see how sparkly it is! Sparkles and sequins are so trendy and I can’t help but jump into the bandwagon this time. Sparkles just exudes effortless glam. And I love the draped neckline of the sweater. It seems like I am wearing a scarf. Yay!

It was a lazy Saturday that’ll be spent at the mall so this sweats + shorts combo is perfect. Alright! Alright! I changed into flats after taking my outfit shots so I could be ready for a whole day of walking!

I just have to mention how much I love my wedges. I would usually wear this on days that I feel like I need an extra feminine touch on my entire look. The salmon pink belt is not enough guys! I need to push it a little further by adding laces. Harhar!

I ditched the accessories because as I mentioned, my top already has so much bling and sparkles. Wearing more would be an overkill. And besides, I want my top to be the center of attention. She’s a diva like that! She doesn’t want to share the limelight. Harhar!

Been putting my hair in a high bun much lately because its dry. I think it needs some TLC but I don’t have the time to have it treated. :( My hair is crying already. I can hear her sobbing as we sleep. Haaaaaayyy…

Apologies for the flooding of pictures. My sister and I enjoyed our shoot way too much. Hahahaha.. The perks of taking your outfit shots in the weekend. I don’t have to hurry. Hihihi..

Aaaaaannnddd.. say hello to my paparazzi shot! Hahahaha..

How’s everyone’s Christmas shopping? It seemed endless I tell you! I am so broke! Hahahaha.. But I am happy.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend guys, much love from me. :)
