LFLTAT: K, fine

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.

The top is an old top from Maldita. It's something I've written about 2 years ago. 

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"!

Pant-tastic Week, Day 2

Now, let’s get into a bit of fashion minimalism.

I like this top from Maldita because it’s the proverbial classic with a twist. The fabric is gray jersey - ultra classic, but the cut is very 3-dimensional.

Together, it’s such a Paris-worthy ensemble.

On to the next,outfit!

LFLTAT: Elements of chic

Whenever malls go on sale, it transforms into this treasure trove of finds and it makes it so easy to come up with an LFLTAT. The only trick is, you really need to dive into every store, sift through their stocks, and find gems within the pile.

Aside from the M&M outfit I was able to come up with, there was another uber chic look that I put together for less than a thousand bucks. It was made possible because both items were at 50% off in their respective stores.

First, this white, button down linen shirt from SM Department Store. It was sold at half price, and cost me P350.

Second, this beautiful denim skirt from Maldita. It was made out of dark denim, pleated, had white piping at the hem, and had a belt. So much chicness in one article of clothing! This was also 50% off and came out at P600.

The result, a chic outfit that has that Audrey Hepburn vibe - for P950!

How chic is that?

LFLTAT: M&M

Yup, it's an acronym-filled "Look For Less Than A Thousand" today.

And this episode is brought to you by the letter M.

First up, this ruffled jersey shell from Maldita.

The color, cut and detail are all so chic. Best part was, I got it for 50% off.

Second, this window pane print trousers from Merona.

I got it at Surplus Shop, so you know it's on the cheap.

Together, this ensemble cost less than P900!

Marvelously Magnificent!
