back to basics


after some of my rants on the humid and hot weather, it turned on me and gave the city a full down pour for the past 4 days or so. the bad thing is, i haven't been able to take photos of my outfits. the good thing is, i have a couple of outfits that i haven't shown you so all in all, i have come prepared in case i run out of things to post about.

for such a long time, i've wanted to debut these sandals that i got from scarpasa through chictopia's rewards system. scarpasa was kind enough to send me a nude pair and i couldn't be happier! i think the nude really has that effect of disappearing on my skintone and therefore becoming more flattering.

since i wanted the sandals to be the main focus, i kept everything basic with a pair of jeans and a crisp white shirt. provided we have casual fridays at work, i can definitely see myself wearing this outfit a lot of times.

oh btw, speaking of chictopia, im trying to be a contributing editor for Everybody is Ugly. if you're a member, you'll definitely know what i'm talking about. one of the writing sample i submitted involved this white shirt+denim jeans look. i picked out some other chictopians who styled this ensemble in their own individual way. feel free to view, vote and comment on it HERE!
