I guess you could take that as a disclaimer for days like these when I will be posting totally random, nonsense stuff whatsoever that won't really make anyone's world a better place...well, except mine, maybe. :-) If you find something in here that could inspire you or make you smile for the day, then I got far more than i hoped for & I'd call it a good day, then!
Because today I will write about...hot pink pants. *cough, cough*. Ya, you heard me right...HOT PINK PANTS!!! Bear with me, please.
So I started my day with no more jeans left in my apartment closet. All I had were about a dozen skirts (which I kinda reserve for days I'm meeting-hopping w/ clients), black lycra leggings (uhmm..doesn't really feel like a leggings-day today), and hiding under a big pile of surf shirts, was my pair of hot pink pants.
It was great that I saw it because it totally felt like the right thing to wear today---don't ask me why. Maybe because it was cotton & comfy & I knew I was going to log in looong hours at the office today. I bought it for a good reason-- when Rajo Laurel threw a birthday bash last May 2011 it said attire: PINK on the invitation. (Click on the link to see the fun & creative pink decor by Bambi Hernandez!). And of course I had to shop for something brightly pink to celebrate a birthday, pastels just won't do!

Oddly enough, the next time I wore the pants was to my cousin Charlie's despedida at the same bar 2 months later.

And then...today I wore it again. I paired it with a cream top w/ long sleeves, my blue snakeskin Yosi Samra, and my black Le Pliage bag to "bring down" all that pink. I wore my lola's pearl earrings, my "pang-harabas" silver Timex watch & a Php 100 vintage-y amber ring.
And because I am having so much fun with Polyvore lately, allow me to share this with you: what my entire day looked like based on my silly pants...
 |
| Polyvore is awesome. If my entire day had to flash in front of me now, THIS WOULD BE IT. A memory can be a JPEG within minutes. Do you think that's good or bad? |
Yeah I know, babaw right? But all of the above is true & it was so relaxing to put it all together when the day ended! I really had a tuna sandwich for lunch, endless coffee refills, and faced my trusty MacbookPro for an entire 7 hours sitting on the office's black Eames knockoff chair. And I really had dark red nail polish on. :-)
The only things not in the photo that was SO a part of my day was Marco's Christmas gift--chocolate crinkles w/c I munched on almost all day
 |
| I tried, but my photo did NOT show justice to how MOIST & YUMMY this cookie is! It kept me going today. :-P thanks, Marco. |
and the work I was doing for the afternoon:
 |
| This is the Monaco Hotel in Venice. It's my peg for a Bridal Lounge I'm doing right now. (Sssssssh, that's all you're getting, wait til it's done guys!) |
Before you all scream, "who cares?!?" please go back to the disclaimer at the start of this entry (Hahaha!). In the meantime, I'll share with you the future color combos I would like to try next time I wear my pink pants:
 |
| I love that it was paired w/ green pointy heels |
 |

I definitely hope to find a wrap-around flowy blouse like this, too. To pair w/ any colored pants whether verdant green or royal blue or Pantone's color of the year, "Tangerine Tango". Would look good paired w/ some classy heels as well. Browse my choices below:
 |
| YSL pumps |
 |
| Miu Miu |
 |
| Stuart Weitzman |
Meanwhile, I will be taking another happy look at my snakeskin Samras (undeniably the BEST ballet flats) and bid you all goodnight!
 |
| available in Trinoma & Rockwell coming soon: Alabang Town Center |
 |
| I'd like to thank the local department store for my pink pants, Yosi Samra for my ballet flats, and San Juan, La Union for my ugly reef cuts. Haaaaay! I guess no amount of color can cover up the scars of a surfer :-) ***END*** |
luvit ;)
