Pair-fect Week: Day 4 - I’m your Venus

Nope, this isn't about Bananarama's hit 80s song.

But make no mistake, that song is one of my most replayed songs.

This is about today's fashion pair, which is an ensemble from R.A.F. It's a venus-cut top and tapered pants in a neutral khaki color.

What's interesting about this pair is the top. It's not seen in the photo, but the back is longer and a lot more flowy than the front. This elevates the pair to something worth wearing to a semi-formal wedding or a dressy event.

I'm sure Ate will find an event to wear this.

Pair-fect Week: Day 3 - Blazer Glory

Since last year, I've noticed that blazers are making a comeback.

Whether it's for a formal event or a casual weekend, whether it's a fast fashion brand or a high end designer label, the blazer has taken many iterations.

One of the blazer styles that I find really cool is the cropped blazer. The cut takes it from work wear to everyday fashion. The SM Store is one of those shops that harped on the cropped blazer trend, and further upped the fashion ante by pairing it with a wide legged, pleated pant in the same fabric.

This pair is a nice play of proportions. The blazer is cropped and cut close to the body, while the pants are loose and relaxed.

This makes this pair so blazing hot!

Pair-fect Week: Day 2 - Knits picking

The second pair for this week is also from the Plains & Prints x Rosanna Ocampo collaboration. Seems like she had incorporated complete pairs in her collection.

This one is a very casual ensemble made with a light, knit fabric. What's interesting is that the fabric has this cable knit type of pattern that makes it visually interesting.

There are also fashionable details on the ensemble. These include the puffed sleeves and slits on the pants that open breezily with every stride.

No wonder this is a top pick among the items from this collection.

Pair-fect Week: Day 1 - Dots about it

The past weeks, I've been randomly buying clothes from different fast fashion brands. After finally unpacking my purchases, it turns out that there was a common theme among the different items, bought in different places at different times.

They were all pairs.

They were tops and bottoms that came as a set, using the same fabric for both items. And since there's a lot of them, this week will be devoted to cataloguing these fashionable pairs.

First on the list is this ensemble from the Plains & Prints x Rosanna Ocampo collaboration.

It's an outfit that gives summer vibes. The top is cropped with a spaghetti strap, and the bottom has a nice flare to it. What makes it unique is the graphic dot print on the fabric. Also, the fabric is like a jacquard fabric that has an embossed pattern hidden under the print. Nice touch!

This is a great pair for a dressy, summer event.
