Where I talk about fashion. These are either my day-to-day looks or looks from events or from fashion shoots. This is also where I talk about things that interest me like trends, throwbacks or whatever may come to mind in regards to fashion.

How To Style: Metallic Pleated Skirts

Posted on by

Anyone will tell you that wearing a loose top with a loose skirt is unflattering and will make your frame look shorter which is probably something you would want to avoid if you have a petite frame like I do. But no one will tell you how liberating it is not to care about looking taller or shorter and how rewarding it is to be able to hide your belly in this outfit especially after 5 dishes of Mexican food. So forget the rules, here’s how I style my metallic pleated skirt anyways!

This skirt has been around since last year and I’ve been able to get a hold on this bad boy since I first saw it. I was thinking about doing a more in depth version of this but unfortunately, I never really got around to doing it but I have been sporting this bad boy for quite a while now. It’s been a great companion on “fancy” events or even when I’m out doing chores.

For those who wanted to catch the Facebook Live session, here it is:

Thank you so much for having me over, JCI brothers (esp. Mark Jamelo).

Over-sized polo & Boots: H&M| Pants: Giordano

It’s pretty clear at this point that my fashion sense is pretty neurotic. One day I’ll be in military boots and a camo and later that afternoon, I’ll be in a tiny slip dress and heels. I don’t know what it is about me but perhaps it has to do with my impeccable indecisiveness or my curiosity but I can never really stick to just one persona or look or fashion sense. Hopefully, that makes you love me even more.

This is actually the second time I wore this outfit and I guess it’s just a really safe go-to outfit for me when I want to be able to move with ease while looking like I actually put some effort into dressing up. You see, my trick is, if I don’t know what to wear, I’ll stick to a monochromatic look. It works every time!

Banker Stripes and Being A Little Bit More Feminine Than Usual

Posted on by

Over the past months, I’ve been getting invited to more and more events which isn’t exactly a good thing for my backlogs unless I am extra vigilant with my postings. Having said this, I think I’m going to have to update Issaplease more often so please expect multiple postings within a day.

For today’s 2nd post, I’ll be sharing what I wore to yesterday’s event for Sushi Boy Japanese Inspired Restaurant. Truthfully, I only bought this top because I wanted to featured it in this video and I was hoping to never have to wear it again mostly because it’s a tube top and God knows I hate my big fat arms.

However, the lack of clothes (I have 2 XL trash bags of unwashed clothes. HELP!) pulled me into wearing this banker striped tube top which surprisingly worked well with a chiffon cardigan I had lying around- also another piece of clothing I thought I would never actually wear again. So surprisingly, the clothes I actually tried to stay away from actually helped me create a soft, feminine and beautiful look. Surprise, surprise!

I paired them with my light pink (?) pointy heels because I could not and still cannot find my white ones and well, I guess it all worked out pretty well.

Needless to say, I am in love with this outfit and along with lots of other things I’ve realized about myself over the past months, I have also learned to embrace the fear of the unknown and just jump into it- even or especially in terms of fashion. I mean, come on, they’re just clothes.

Shopping for Trends ft. StyleWe

I’m at it again, tab shopping instead of window shopping and I have to admit, this selection has by far been my favorite!

I found myself browsing through StyleWe this time and I’ve developed a particular fondness for their designer section which is full of trendy, versatile and essential closet picks.

Honestly, I don’t really know what my “style” is but lately I’ve been leaning more towards basics and comfortable pieces because I’ve been working a lot more than I typically have over the past few months. Being able to move with ease is my topmost priority now and these pieces are perfect for the sudden lifestyle shift. PLUS, I could totally travel in these pieces, too!

Honestly, can we ever have enough clothes??

Happy Shopping,

Banker Stripes & How to Wear Them

Posted on by

Banker stripes have made an exceptional comeback in the later parts of 2016 and now, 2017. In fact, I talked about how to wear them and style them in my 2017 Fashion Trends Video here.

Although banker stripes were made popular in an office setting, it doesn’t mean you need to look like you work at a 9-5 job. A cute, casual were to wear a structured tunic like this is to pair them with short shorts and dressy sandals.

If I could change anything about this top, I would probably tuck it in and throw in a cute belt or probably opt for a shorter top. Til the next time I wear this top then. In the meantime, I hope this look is something you can imitate in the near future!

Here’s the moving version of this look:

Styling Patterned Culottes

When caught between the crossroads of having to give up wearing shorts on a daily basis and not wanting to wear pants, I found refuge in culottes.

I admit to always being at least 10 months behind trends as culottes have been a big deal for at least the past year or so but no regrets, me and my half pants/ half shorts are now inseparable!

Styling plain and solid culottes are no brainers but when it comes to printed ones that are made of a stiffer material, it can be quite a challenge. There first time I wore these were here and now I’m back and I think I like this look a lot better.

Looking back at the previous looks’ photos and these, I guess I prefer this boxier silhouette more because 1. it masks my huge arms and 2. it actually feels like something I can run around in the whole day.

If you’re wondering where I am and what I was doing in these photos, I was actually running around and sweating the whole day at my brother’s family day.
