Spring Essentials

It's April here in Manila, and the temperature's hot, hot, hot! I guess in some parts of the world, including here in the Philippines, it's summer but in majority of places (I think) it's spring. So, with a bit of compromise here and there, I was able to create a short list of spring/summer essentials that conforms with both comfort and style.





Tops:
  • Sweaters: I know it's freakin' blazing hot out here, but it's better to be safe than sorry! And who can ever say no to these chic pieces?
  • Cropped tops: One of the basics. Cropped tops really come in handy because they're just really simple and they go with everything.
  • Camisoles: Camisoles are also one of the closet essentials because they're so easy breezy and versatile. 


Bottoms:
Trendy materials include: Denim, prints, and leather
  • High-waisted anything: Let's admit, high-waisted anything is just on a whole new level of style. They give that certain edge to an outfit without sacrificing comfort.
  • Boyfriend Jeans: If skinny jeans aren't for you, or if you just need something to wear on errand day, then boyfriend jeans are your ultimate go-to.
  • Loose pants & shorts: Since spring is a time to be comfortable and carefree, loose clothing can help achieve that barely-tried-but-oh-so-lovely vibe.
  • Circle skirts: Eye-catching and iconic; circle skirts are so versatile especially if it comes in different patterns and textures.

Accessories:
  • Quirky sunnies: The sun is out and sunnies are essential to protect your eyes; but who knew they'd look fabulous too?
  • Pale green & gold jewellery: These colours give the classy yet quirky vibe to an outfit.
  • Hologram bags: Hologram print anything is just beautiful. And since it comes in an array of colors and hues, it could match with a ton of pieces.
  • Boots: Both badass and stylish.
  • Sandals: Comfy and chic.
  • Beanies: The perfect cover up for a bad hair day.
