Breathing OXGN

Among the local fast fashion brands, OXGN is one of the most consistent in coming up with youthful, fun and distinct designs. 

Whether it’s a print, a color or a silhouette, they have a knack of making their clothes interesting.

That’s why whenever I pass by one of their stores, or catch an on-line sale on their website, this happens.

Yup, you gotta have OXGN.

Color Story: On the Lime

It was around June when a barrage of lime green clothes started appearing in fast fashion stores. 

The difference of this lime green from the other iterations is that the current crop had a hint of neon in it. So, it's something like neon lime green.

On paper, it sounds too much, but in actuality, it looks very refreshing and eye-catching.

I've been eyeing a couple of lime green shirts at OXGN, but never got around to buying them. That was until this week when they popped up in my feed with a link to their e-commerce site. 

We all know what happened next.

Seeing these IRL made me realise, "It's time for lime!"

LFLTAT: Breathe!

"Knock-out Sale! Items P399 and below!"

Those words were emblazoned on posters in front of the Oxygen store in SM Megamall. And with a poster like that, resistance is futile.

Truth be told, Oxygen is too young and trendy for my liking. But there are times when I found some gems in that clothing store, so, what the heck.

Yes, they were on sale! And yes, things were on the cheap! And yes, I was able to put together a look for less than a thousand.

The top was a nice, loose black shirt which was labeled "Cool Girl Fit." This is true because it has the loose, nonchalant vibe to it.

Plus, this dark, boyfriend jeans. The cut is nice and roomy, and the fabric has some stretch to it.

Put them together, and it's a weekend look for Ate Bullet when she's feeling relaxed and unfussy.

And did I say this outfit was less than P600?

LFLTAT: Pretty in punk

There was a 3-day sale in SM Megamall last week and I saw it as the perfect opportunity to whip up a "Look For Less Than A Thousand" for my sisters. 

This wasn't a mean feat since there are a lot of good and cheap clothing options at SM Megamall. The trick is to sift through all the options, and find an outfit that meets that may be less than a thousand bucks but looks much more expensive than that.

Luckily, I found 3 awesome items in 3 of my favorite haunts.

Haunt # 1: Surplus Shop black cropped top. P249.75

This is a classic that can go with anything that you already have in your wardrobe.

Haunt # 2: Oxygen perforated pleather skirt. P399.00

It's the classic full skirt silhouette, but rendered in a very chic and very light pleather material. Check out the details and be amazed that it's that cheap. (It was on a clearance rack, so it's around 70% off.)

Haunt # 3: SM Department store pointed flats with grommets. P300.00

Again, this item was on 50% off. It's original price was P599.75, which already makes it a good buy. But at 50% off, it makes it an even better one.

And for P948.75, you have an all-black, punk-inspired Look for Less Than A Thousand!

I'm sure Ate Bullet can rock this look.
