It's something I've noticed since my first trip to Korea.
The Korean sense of fashion.
Their way of dress - whether traditional garbs or street wear - have a distinct look. It's so distinct that you can actually use their country name as an adjective. Like: "Her outfit is so Korean!"
It's something that's also evident in the few Korean series that I catch on Netflix. Whether it's a rom-com, an action film, a mystery-thriller or a drama, the characters are always distinctly - and beautifully - dressed.
One of the recurring fashion themes is the pencil skirt and turtle neck blouse. This is their usual office wear, and it's usually topped with a trench coat or a loose blazer during spring or winter. But during summer, or while they're in their office, the pencil skirt and blouse is a go-to for women.
That look is what inspired this LFLTAT.
It's a top with a mock turtle neck and draped sleeves. The fabric is cotton jersey, so it's perfect for the local weather. And it has a muted colour - another recurring Korean theme.
Then, there's the pencil skirt from Zalora. But to give it a fashionable twist, it's a wrap skirt with a subtle drape in front. And it's dusty pink hue is a perfect match for the gray top.
For an outfit that's less than P800, this ensemble is not just okay, it's a "K"!
