In Poetic Fashion

In Greek Mythology, Calliope is the muse of eloquence and poetry. She always created beautiful things, that's why she's often seen with a tablet or paper on her hand.

With that context, the fast fashion brand Calliope fits its namesake.

It's an underrated brand that isn't as big as H&M, Zara, Cotton On and the other more famous fast fashion houses in Manila. But despite the size, they're really big on style. Whenever I pass by their store, I find something covet-worthy.

On this weekend's trip to Calliope, I found - and had to buy - this skirt.

It has a beautiful, African print which is so vibrant and eye-catching. It also has a classic flare silhouette, and a gross grain ribbon to accentuate the waist.

Then, I paired it with a plain, black tee from the same brand.

Like the poetic creations of Calliope (the muse), this ensemble from Calliope (the brand) is also a poetic thing of beauty.
