I've lost the desire to dress up. You'll usually see me in a simple attire.
On usual days, just a shirt & jeans/skirt/shorts.
On church days, a dress or blouse & skirt.
When I go out, see usual days.
At home, the comfiest clothes ever. Loose shirts & pajamas. Haha :D
And I'm loving neutral colors now. I love wearing black/gray/white/nude.
But tomorrow is different. I want to dress up!!!
Still, my outfit is simple though. I'll just load up on accessories.
And I'll wear a Yellow sweater!!! :D
YELLOW! As in sunny Yellow. Haha :D
Dark wash jeans, Yellow sweater, Purple Bag & Headband, Black belt
My mom gave me that sweater recently. I blogged about it! Read about it HERE. :)
Blue necklace & watch
I love cute watches. And when I saw that one, I can't leave it there!!!
Haha. That's how I buy stuff. I wait for that gravitational pull or spark. Funny but true! I don't buy anything if I didn't feel a spark from it. :)
Cocktail ring
I don't wear rings. I don't like wearing them cause when you shake someone's hand, it hurts when you're wearing rings. But I love the color of this one! :)
So those stuff are all on my table. That's why I'm typing on my bed right now.. Beside my adorable little baby! :) Look how cute he is, all curled up in my comforter. ^_^
And this is my laptop, not on his usual place. Haha.
Everyone, meet Jack! :) He's from my brother. :)
He's been to more places than me. Lucky Jack. Haha :D
And I suddenly remembered I have Yellow earrings. Haha.
But they're still with my mom, she got them for me last week. I left them in their room, I'll get them from her tomorrow.
And so that I won't forget, I wrote this note:
Haha. I am such a dork. Haha. :D
Goodnight, everyone! Let's all be cute tomorrow! :D
Way back when the US was young and looked like something from Bugsy
Malone with grown-ups, Dandy men and Flapper girls prevailed. Red
lipstick, hair plastered to the head with lacquer and sequined dresses
were the order of the day for girls, and the men wouldn’t be seen dead
in anything but a pressed tweed suit with a bowler hat. The youth of that day hung out in back-street jazz clubs drinking moonshine and playing cards.
*A dandy (also known as a beau or gallant) is a man who places particular importance upon physical appearance, refined language, and leisurely hobbies, pursued with the appearance of nonchalance in a cult of Self. Historically, especially in late 18th and early 19th century Britain, a dandy, who was self-made, often strove to imitate an aristocratic lifestyle despite coming from a middle-class background.

9. Greasers
The Greaser look – which was an product of the British Teddy Boy culture – can be summed up by saying the title of one popular film:
Grease. Tight jeans, tight t-shits and slicked back hair was the über
cool look for the boys, whereas the girls’ had large but perfectly
coiffured hair, ra-ra skirts and lots of girly bows. Back then, it was
all about looking cool, juke boxes, milkshake bars and smooching in cars.
All hail the eighties, where hair was big, bangles were bountiful and
synthesizers rocked the airwaves. The Glam Rockers were all about
colored leggings and leg-warmers, a la Fame, Cyndi Lauper and Paula
Abdul, whereas the New Romantics preferred a darker look, complete with
black denim, make-up for boys and shiny shoes, like The Artist Formerly
Known as Prince.
7. Gangsta
The emergence of rap music saw throngs of young people’s jeans get
baggier and baggier, and bling increased so much it’s a wonder there
aren’t more neck problems. The Gangsta look is still going strong, with
clothing lines such as FUBU and Rocawear feeding the need to wear all
things ‘street’, and icons such as 50 Cent and Jay-Z carrying on the
walk-with-a-limp, show-off-boxers, plaster-on-the-face look like it’ll
never go out of fashion.
I'm really loving this song. Haha :D
6. Rockers
In the early sixties, rockers were the rougher, dirtier version of
Greasers, but the antithesis to hippies. To be part of this club, you
need a mean-looking motorbike, long hair, tattoos and a curled lip.
Indeed, this was the era where the Hell’s Angels were born – a
subculture still going strong today, with all ages and creeds welcome.
5. Geek Chic
This style has a resurgence every few years, with the latest one
still in full swing – think Travis from Gym Class Heroes, Andre 3000,
Johnny Depp or Justin Timberlake. You too can achieve this interesting
look, designed to make the wearer look intelligent yet interesting, by
teaming thick-framed glasses (it doesn’t matter if you need them or
not), drain-piped checked trousers with sneakers, and a tucked-in
t-shirt.
4. Punks
Some say punk was born in a small specialist London boutique owned by
the eccentric Vivienne Westwood back in the seventies. In an extreme
reaction to the other popular, neatly groomed and tidy style of the time
– mods – the punk look aimed to shock by combining mismatched patterns,
‘work’ boots, ripped denim and lots and lots of safety pins. Combine
with a brightly-colored, starched mo-hawk and a bad attitude, and there
you have one of the most infamous subcultures of all time.
*Dame Vivienne Westwood, DBE, RDI (born Vivienne Isabel Swire on 8 April 1941) is a British fashion designer and businesswoman, largely responsible for bringing modern punk and new wave fashions into the mainstream. (from Wikipedia)

3. Emo
Radical youth subcultures seem to have died out over time, as there
are so many ‘types’ of people that almost every combo has been done.
Nevertheless, it would seem the emo look could be classed as the latest
new look, even though it does draw comparisons from the Goth and New
Romantic looks. Inspired by bands with long names such as The Day My Dog
Went to Town or Fire Eat Boy Eat Lamppost, morbid youths all over the
world decided to wear their hair in extreme side-partings, don
neckerchiefs, black eyeliner, and jeans so tight that they can no longer
feel their legs
Cute emo cartoon ^_^
2. Grunge
The nineties brought us nu-wave rave, complete with neon trousers and
shell-suits, which people soon realized was a stupid look. However, it
also brought us Kurt Cobain, and with that, a look that was adopted by
millions of people for years following. Long, lank hair, knitted jumpers
with holes in and scruffy jeans became the uniform of choice for
grunge-lovers.
One of the most iconic looks of all time would have to be that of the hippy. Immortalized by The Beatles, Twiggy, and anyone that went to Woodstock, this look was all about color, flower power, corduroys and looking laid back, man.

Goths
Nobody really knows where Goths came from – they just happened.
They’ve always been around in some shape of form and they probably
always will be. Just look for the black nail polish, crucifix, bat
tattoos, long dark hair and Cradle of Filth t-shirt.
*The goth subculture is a contemporary subculture found in many countries. It began in England during the early 1980s in the gothic rock scene, an offshoot of the Post-punk
genre. The goth subculture has survived much longer than others of the
same era, and has continued to diversify. Its imagery and cultural
proclivities indicate influences from the 19th century Gothic literature along with horror films and to a lesser extent the BDSM culture. (from Wikipedia)
Metallers
Metallers are a bit smarter than grunge, and more colorful than Goths. They love to thrash out at rock concerts, only ever wear band t-shirts, have very long hair and wear a chain on their jeans. They started out in the 80s and early 90s thanks to ACDC and Metallica, and you’ll find them at the front of most mosh pits round the world, drinking – and spilling – cheap beer from a plastic cup.
(ロリータ・ファッション,Rorīta fasshon) is a fashionsubculture originating in Japan that is based on Victorian-era clothing as well as costumes from the Rococo period, but the style has expanded greatly beyond these two.The Lolita look began primarily as one of modesty with a focus on
quality in both material and manufacture of garments. The original
silhouette is of a knee length skirt or dress with a 'cupcake' shape
assisted by petticoats, but has expanded into various different types of
garments including corsets and floor lengths skirts. Blouses, knee high
socks or stockings and headdresses are also worn. Lolita fashion has evolved into several different sub styles and has a subculture that is present in many parts of the world. (from Wikipedia)
Steampunk Fashion Emerging From Subculture
Steampunk
is a subgenre of fantasy and speculative fiction that came into
prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. Because of the popularity of
steampunk with people in the goth, punk, cyber, and Industrial
subcultures, there is a growing movement towards establishing steampunk
as a culture and lifestyle. It’s working its way into the entertainment
industry, films, music, on fashion runways for Fall 2008 and onto city
streets.
