Dirt Cheap Outfit Breakdown #1

You're a babe on budget like I am. Yeah, you probably are. I find clothes to be something I don't splurge on. I actually more likely see my money vanishing into thin air via buying pastries rather than via seeing the perfect fit shoe or skirt. If I see an article of clothing I LOVE but is otherwise expensive, I can always go Adele on it and say "never mind; I'll find someone like you" to the thing. So something wonderful but cheap will always be a treasure for me, or any college babe on budget.


This week I'm sharing the outfit that I wore to a recent event.

It's all retro-vintage-ish babe for me. Never mind that the event was a business/corporate event where people were in formal wear. The top part is made up of a sleeveless shirt underneath the red polka-dot shirt. They're from our family's new business line of clothing which will be out soon! I can tell you they're dirt cheap at P99 and of good quality. The skirt is garterized with yellow floral prints, something you can get in le tiangge for around 120 PHP. I also put on my trusty black stockings and black school shoes flats. The item around my neck is actually a timepiece on a bronze/copper guitar pendant. You can find a lot of cool timepieces like it in Quiapo starting at around 50 PHP.


My sis just pulled my hair up into a high pony. I call it "Marisa" hair, since it reminds me of a character from a video game who also has a high-pony.

As for make-up, I swear by my favorite Dream Girl BB Cream (Now P194 but only P124 when I bought it a year ago!). Then I put on some San-San Age Defying blush (P60) and San-San Eyebrow Pencil (P35). And then I use some black Ever Bilena Stargazer Eyeliner (P45). Of course I also use some CoverGirl Lashblast and some Marks & Spencer Lip Butter, but I didn't buy them myself, I don't think I ever will, they are bloody expensive and they are just the benefits of getting your heart broken your mom ends up buying you awesome stuff.


Ciao!
