CROSSING
A few weeks back, I answered this short quiz online that
would tell you whether your style is American or French. Guess what? I got ‘French’!
Which prompted me a few days later to wear something inspired by things I see
on mood boards for a French inspired project but gave it a twist that would fit
the streets of Cebu.
One of the things they say that would always be ‘Parisian’
is a Breton shirt. Since the last time I had one was way back in high school, I
used my long sleeved striped shirt instead. Good thing it came in maroon, which
looks slightly subtle and not at all “loud” for a French girl’s taste. I then
paired it with my cream colored straight cut slacks, and wore block mid-heeled sandals to make myself look tall despite the
pants making my legs appear like logs. Topped off the look with a handkerchief
tied around my neck in a navy blue and white color, a color that always goes
well with maroon.
One thing, I had these photos taken on a Sunday afternoon so
the streets weren’t busy. But seriously guys, don’t ever try having your photo
taken walking on a pedestrian lane on other days. We all know nobody is safe
from reckless drivers, even people who stay on pedestrian lanes.
