Well-suited

I've been seeing a lot of suit sets in fast fashion stores of late. It's such an easy and elegant way to look put together. Plus, it gives major boss energy.

That's how this look got put together.

This is a nice suit set because the top is a vest rather than a blazer. It has a modern shape, thanks to the extended shoulders. The pants also provide a contrast to the structure of the top, thanks to the flowy shape. Also, the beige colour makes it versatile for any occasion. And the belt gives it a fashionable punctuation mark.

Whether it's a day at the office, or a casual weekend out with friends, this ensemble is suited for both occasions.

P.S. The suit is an on-line find, the shirt is from Regatta, and the shoes are from ForMe.

Color Story x LFLTAT: Sunshine State

Here's another collab of a post.

Just like last Tuesday's post, it's a Look For Less Than A Thousand, but also a colour story.

This yellow ensemble brings in so much sunshine. The pique shirt dress is from Regatta, and the cropped jacket is from The SM Store. Just like the happy hue, the ensemble is also happy, youthful and relaxed. It's a great ensemble for the weekend, maybe around September onwards. Not now, it's too hot.

Snagged both items while they were on sale, and total rang up to a few bucks shy of P900.

Both the colour and the price are enough to make you happy!

Sail away

Way back in high school, Regatta was THE brand if you wanted to look "preppy."

Their clothes clearly had a strong nautical influence, and they looked classy and were well-made. Not a surprise since the original owners of Regatta were members of the Zobel family.

On hindsight, Regatta was the Philippine version of Nautica, with a little bit of Polo Ralph Lauren thrown into the mix.

I used to buy clothes at Regatta all the way up to college. It was one of my go-to stores, along with another preppy brand - Blued.

But as time passed by and more brands were introduced in Manila, I found myself drifting away from Regatta.

That was until today.

When I passed by Shangri-la Mall's new East Wing, I found myself inside a Regatta store once again. There were some pieces that caught my attention, particularly their striped shirts. Then, I focused my attention on their jean rack, and ended up buying these two pairs.

I must say, I was impressed by the quality of these 2 pairs. First, the colors were very nice - one was blue black, and the other one had this slightly faded, vintage quality. The denim was so soft, and it was easy to move while wearing it. And the fit - at least for my body - was immaculate. It falls right on the hip, the leg area was fitted but not tight, and the hem was just the right length.

And yes, they were also unbelievably priced since they're on sail. I mean sale.

They should come up with more jeans like these. I'll surely drift back to Regatta when they do.
