multi-masking

Because I’d started gaining weight for the past couple of years, I’d been quite insecure with the things that I wear. Compared to the super-kikay ensembles that I used to wear back at PeopleSupport, I now find myself more the jeans-and-T-shirt kinda gal.

I’ve grown sick of it. I admit, I still cannot let go of my old clothes, in hopes that one day, I will get to lose a little tummy, shed a few pounds off my arms, but I’ve been buying a lot of stuff that hasn’t seen the light of day yet. For one, my current job does not have a dress code, so I feel a little shy towards dressing up.

I have to thank my not-so-recently-acquired interest in the Korean culture. Watching my own share of Kdramas have given me inspiration. Cheesy but true. I’m currently self-studying spoken Hangul. My palatal preferences have expanded to the realm of Korean everyday/gourmet cooking.

The best part? Having to emulate the street-smart everyday fashion of Korean women. I’d already bought a handful of stuff. I know, the weather is not the same. Global warming is turning the cold “ber” Philippine months into the typically humid Manila temperature at high noon. I would have to wait most probably until the next Christmas season in order to be able to put all the ideas I have into action, but hey, I’m not complaining.

Posting a couple of pics of Yoon Eun Hye — my favorite Korean fashion icon at present — wearing some pieces that I might be able to pull off. (I would post something of Chae Rim’s, but I couldn’t find any good shots that would show off what she’s wearing well…)
