…I decided to wear a white botton-up top as a dress! LOL! 🙂

Summer should be over now here in Manila, but damn it is still hot!!! I just couldn’t take it! Well, summer has just started in the other parts of the world so this outfit might work to you guys as well. 🙂

I actually purchased this top about a year ago from our own label, KAT. And if you’re wondering how sure I am that I had this for a year already, well I remember very well that it was in July 2009 when we last released our collection. Whew! I know, it has been a while already, but we will be having a new one in a month or two so watch out for that! 🙂

Anyway, after a year, I would say this blouse is still one of my favorites in my closet. I find it so versatile. With its fit, length, color and quality, I’ve managed to wear this white long sleeve top a couple of times- in different looks, in different occasions. I partnered it with jeans, tights, slacks… with long and short necklaces… with and without belt… sandals with and without heels… in the mall, in the office, and even in the beach as a cover-up! And now, I decided to wear it as a dress. 🙂 Well, of course I had to wear shorts underneath this white sheer polo! Hehehe! I’m conservative! 😉

Hmmm… It could have been nicer if I wore a belt, but I couldn’t. I tried to but my top becomes shorter (or looks shorter) when I wrap a belt around my waist so I just opted not to. I just had to accessorize in order to make this outfit work. I used my patterned scarf as a hairband, then wore my cuff boot sandals, and finished it off with some accessories. 🙂
