MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone! Sorry for being MIA the past few days. Well, I was one of those who had to do last minute Christmas shopping. When I say last minute, I was in the mall until the 24th. And surprisingly, the roads were clear – no traffic! Was I the only one going around the metro buying and delivering gifts?! LOL!

Anyway, day after Christmas, I went to Nuvali. I was a bit skeptical on wearing this long sleeve dress since it was extra hot the day before (Christmas day). Did anyone notice that??? It was kinda weird since we had perfectly cool weather the past few days. But since Nuvali is a bit cooler than Manila and we really planned to stay in the area after dinner, the dress would be perfect. True enough, it was chilly!

I like how the dress looks conservative since it has long sleeves and it falls below my knees. But the slightly slanted slit makes the dress sexy, don’t you think?

Also, it’s a size bigger, which I really prefer for a more relaxed vibe. It has more room for styling too. I can show a bit of my shoulders if I want to. I can pull up the dress to add more ruche. Best of all, a loose dress means there’s more room for food. Haha! No need to worry about bulging tummy!

The dress can easily be worn on a more formal setting by wearing heels. But since it’s a casual day, I wore sneakers.

Finally, I got my Stan Smith in my size! I’ve been looking for one in my size for months now. Finally!

And to match my green Stan Smith, I used my Modalu green bag. It’s been a while since it was last taken out of the closet. In case you’re interested, I reviewed this bag in this post: http://lushangel.com/2014/05/26/bag-review-modalu-mini-pippa-grab/
