I Really Do "Want U Back". (Casual take) (OOTD + life updates)

Hey guys! I'm a freaking out a little bit today... just a little bit. Apparently tomorrow's the day of the first of a series of College Entrance Exams that I'm going to have to take and well, I'm nervous. I for one know that in the West, you all take your SATs. Well, here in my country, we take CETs which are college entrance exams wherein the applicants have to apply in the schools they want to study in and take an exam per school that will determine whether they will be admitted into the university or not. So you guys can pretty much see why I'm freaking out. My whole future is at stake here.

Anyway, I'm blogging today to sort of calm myself as well as to update you guys and this blog. Once again, forgive me for my inconsistent updates. School's been really hectic as usual.

 So most of you may or may not have read my previous "Want U Back" inspired outfit post. Well, looking back I thought that the outfit was really... formal per se so I decided to show you guys yet another outfit that I have concocted and wore, still inspired by Cher Lloyd's "Want U Back" US version.



Sorry for the blurry pictures. I was using a not automatic DLSR which I borrowed from my good friend Trisha so I wasn't able to tell whether the pictures were blurry or not.



Shirt: Islands Souvenirs (from Boracay| Skirt: I Love H81| Cotton Jacket: Kamiseta| Heels: CLN| 

Haha, I love my new nail polish colour. (#applegreenanyone?)

I really love this outfit. Especially because of the colors (nail polish included)! So to get this look, I'd advise you guys to get a sort of ombre orange shirt or something really orange with a really cool print. As for the skirt, it actually has black polka dots to complement the black writing on the shirt. You can't really see it in the picture but it's there. So that's really the key to getting a "Want U Back" look. PRINTS... and an undercut hairdo but you guys don't have to do that.

Despite that, I played it easy with my shoes, opting for a really basic white strapped heels with dark wood heels. Does it seem too painful to walk around in? Opt for flats or sandals that have solid colors and no designs. The barer the shoes, the better. Well, just for this outfit because you don't want to overdo it.

Keep the accessories minimal but ginormous for an even better retro feel. For this outfit I used my tiger bangle and a round and chunky wooden bracelet.

And remember, the best accessory for this outfit is a smile! And play it a little fierce like Cher herself.


Aside from that long delayed outfit post, what are the updates updates updates on my life? Well, I've made it a priority from now on after I finish my entrance exams to fix this blog of mine. But before that, I needed to rearrange my physical space. Mainly, my bedroom.

It's been really cluttered for a really long time but after reading lots of my mom's "lifestyle and home" magazines, I decided that I really did need to makeover my room.

The result? 

My room has never been this clean.



 The other half of my room still isn't done though. There's a corner stacked with junk that I have to sort out and I'm still saving money to get huge canvases to paint on and place on my wall. I love painting.

 Anywho, that's all for this post. Wish me luck for tomorrow and follow/comment/share my blog!

Much love,

@ChlorineStyles ;)

I Want You Back? (OOTD)

Yes, I'll admit it, I'm a "brat". But no not a spoiled brat or anything. I'm a Cher kind of brat. Simply put, I'm a Cher Lloyd fan which I find totally weird because I grew up listening to 'The Marvelettes' and 'Swing Out Sisters' and Tony Bennet. To simply find myself taking a liking to a rising mainstream pop icon, it's weird for me (but yes I also do like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and One Direction but that's about it). But Cher is absolutely different from the popstars we have now in the music industry. She takes her music up to a whole new level and her album is just, amazing. Recommended songs? Over The Moon, Superhero and Dub On Track (she sings along to dubstep. how nifty is that?)

But it's not just Cher's music that attracted me to her, it's also her fashion sense. It's un-bee-lee-vah-ble. 

So this outfit post is pretty much inspired by her recent music video: 'Want U Back' (US Version).


I love-love-love the music video. It's such a beautiful homage to the 80's and it's so colorful and loud and visually appealing that it leaves me so inspired. I swearsz. After watching the music video, I started looking for retro-themed pieces and orange blouses.


  
For my outfit, I took the key elements from Cher's outfit, mainly the orange printed blouse and the vibrant blue as well as her leather shorts and her undercut styled hair, her pinkish-red lips and came up with a more formal and classic looking outfit.

 

 Blouse: BAYO| Shoes: Steve Madden| Skirt: Made by my aunt| Makeup: Lipstick- Estee Lauder (Rosewood); Eyeshadow- Fashion 21 Color Set; Blush-on- Maybelline|

I got my blouse while I was shopping with my mom, sister and grandma (a girls' day out I suppose.) and we stopped by one of my favorite local stores, BAYO, and on one of the mannequins I saw the beautiful orange blouse that had such a beautiful cream collar. It's print contrasted the base color of the fabric so amazingly that I knew it was the staple piece I was looking for. Nonetheless, I bought it. Sometimes I swear these things happen by fate. (trust and pixie dust? no? okay.)


All-in-all I really love this outfit and I'm looking forward to an occasion when I can use it. (maybe a Cher Lloyd concert? who knows?)

But that's all for now! Please comment, follow and share my blog! ;) Peace out!
