I brace myself enough to do this blog post and believe me, it is one topic I avoided for years, but I guess it's time to go out into the open. I was having coffee this morning while contemplating over past months difficulties and begun to realize how at this point I'm still baffled how life continually going downhill. I keep thinking that perhaps it's normal for people with depression and anxiety - to often get stuck in the rut. Yes, I have depression and anxiety and it's a secret I've concealed for the past years. How long I have it? I guess long enough to consider myself a human Kratos for being able to withstand the war I wage against my demons.
I know most people will never understand the phase people with depression and anxiety goes through, but it is something that we will choose to be mum about for a good reason and that is - we do not want to inflict our pain to other people. I know everyone goes through the darkness but the only difference with us is that we often cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel and that the silver lining for us is just a metaphor.
Summer is almost over in the Philippines and I thought I wouldn't be able to use all my swimwears my boyfriend who came home from the capital city planned a 3 days summer escapade for us. A pool hopping adventure of course as my boyfriend knows I always prefer pools over beaches hehehe.
On the last day of our adventure, I wore this tied bandeau top with ruffles floral print bikini from www.zaful.com I had to admit though that bikinis ain't really my liking as I don't have a bikini bod but then I realized that the only way to wear bikinis is to wear it with confidence. It doesn't really matter what body size you have if you're confident you'll be comfortable and that's what matters the most.
Online shopping is probably one of my favorite stress relievers. And yes, I too have my own list of favorite online shops. These Shops have proven the quality of their products and therefore have gained my trust.
For years I've always been an avid shopper at www.rosegal.com and here are 5 reasons why you will love to shop at Rosegal:
My love for potato is revealed on this cropped letter logo top that I got from www.zaful.com. Fench Fries is without a doubt one of my favorite snacks and I loooove to eat mine with loads of ketchup or melted cheese hehehe.
I paired this top with a plaid mini wrap skirt that I also got from Zaful for a slouchy casual look during our trip to Baguio. Traveling requires comfortable clothes and this outfit didn't fail me.
Just when I thought I'm done with pink I found myself most engrossing over this pink romper at www.zaful.com.
I used to be the bubble gum kind of girl who prefers everything pastel. Pink preferably.
But as I aged, so is my color preference. Gone are the tutti-frutti days as my wardrobe begins to outline darker shades.
I'm drawn to mustard color lately although I have to admit that I am not really a fan of yellow colors but mustard is somewhat different. It has a different appeal to me that I have a hard time resisting the urge not to pick the color.
Just like this plunging neck ruffle floral print dress that I got from www.zaful.com it reminds me of those potato couch days I had back then when life is not so hectic. On weekends when all I do is read books and eat mustard and pickles. But with "adulting" and the habitual responsibilities that comes with it, I can barely do those things anymore. And yes clothes could sometimes remind us of good memories and of things that we used to have. (sigh)

Adding some spice to my wardrobe with this mustard colored sundress from www.zaful.com. Over the past months, I've limited my wardrobe with stripes and checkered that even my mom find it risible. She even pointed out that people might think that I am wearing the same clothes over and over again. hahaha I guess it's like an obsession to me. Whenever I see something stripes and checkered I have to have it.
But somehow it changed when I saw this Cutout Back Floral Mini Slip Dress and since summer is approaching in the Philippines this dress is a good choice. It features a floral graphics and a cutout back with a back zipper closure and adjustable straps. Perfect for the casual stroll and on the beach.
Happy New Year Everyone! I hope you guys had a terrific time celebrating the holiday season. And as another new year unfolds may we use it to accomplish more goals and dreams. I haven't done any bucket lists yet, but I'm starting it off with this outfit post hahaha
I love wearing a maxi dress because with my height, it's either I wear it long or I wear it really short. Unlike Midi dresses, maxi dress gives you the illusion of looking taller.
