Casual Ties

"How good it is to combine two wears - formal and casual."

Shirt | H&M

Tie | SM Accessories

Coat | Tailored at HIM

Slacks | SM Mens

Socks | Topman

Shoes | Aldo

If you've been reading my previous blog post, I'm guessing you already know why I'm wearing something like this. Yes, it's for the OathTaking of the New Pharmacists of the Philippines. For my attire, I went for the kill of being a dapper one plus a Robin Thicke look from the MV Blurred Lines. I have a few advice for this look:

1. The color of your belt is the color of your shoes
2. The color of your tie is the color of your socks

It's good to play with colors just like what I did from gray to black to white to burgundy. It's okay if your coat and slacks are not of the same color just make it sure that they look good together. And one thing I would stress out in wearing coats, it should be a perfect fit.

Since something is wrong with the application in Facebook meaning I can't register nor upload my photo for the contest of SM YOUTH about TEEGRAM, I'll be making it a blog post. But guys, you may still join yours might be working. Anyway, this is actually my own DIY shirt. Because I'll be joining the contest I thought for the originality. The mechanics is to buy any of the shirts from Tee Culture and then make a good outfit shot out of it. So the originality part struck me in. So I got my old floral Shirt. Cut a pocket-size from it then sew it on my plain black shirt. Isn't it amazing how you make something plain into something with details.

If you want to join the contest here's the link for the page of SM Youth. There you can click the TeeGram Tab and join. Good luck! Awesome prizes await you!

I am PAULO and DO IT YOURSELF!

Since review classes are civilian attires, it's really an opportunity to do outfit shots. But having the time to take photos is hard because of the schedule. That's the reason why I don't blog much about what I wear, I just post them on my instagram @thepaulodiaries hahah.. :D But this one is a special attire. So I really looked for a spare time for me to take some shots of myself. After all, I named this day: Floral Day. Since, I suggested my classmates to wear florals and they did. Unfortunately, I didn't get to take some photos with them.

Anyway, florals are very in these days. It's summer! So, why not? I know it's kinda not good to wear button down's because of the heat I think there's still an exception. As long as you feel comfortable with it and the fabric is not that thick for you to wear under the sun. Thank God, Folded and Hung's floral polo is the one I'm talking about. Of course, you have to pair it with twill shorts from Uniqlo. For me, I played with the colors. Wore with light colored clothes: Light blue and pink. So that even with the summer heat, your outfit will look fresh and it's very pleasing to the eyes. And lastly, just wore my summer-go-to shoes from Native.

I am PAULO and EXCELSIOR!

If you have been visiting my page I guess you will see that I have my instagram (@thepaulodiaries) posted on the side. And these past few days, it's been a lot of OOTD posts because I'm not wearing uniform on my review classes but then I had a little break for one day... it's not actually a break I just wore the sporty me because I have to go to the gym after my class. But I'm not going to blog about that. What I will blog is how I was challenged to get back to the game. So the next day I wore something like this.

Tank Top | H&M

DIY Pants (before it was blue then did some changes) | Bench

Long sleeved button down | Bench
Feather Necklace | Cravemore

Bracelet | SM Accessories

Sunnies | Topman

Watch | Apple

I am PAULO and JUST GIVE ME A REASON.

You get what you give

Hoodie (Penshoppe), Eyeglasses (Tomato), Chinos (BenchTM), Shoes (Sebago), Watch (SCUBED/SM Accessories)

 

I really a fan of hoodie shirts because it's not just any type of shirt. I think it's very versatile. Like when it's kind of drizzling outside you can wear it on or when you are cold, it can be helpful. So I wore this attire when I got back here in Manila from the province. 

At the same time, as you can see on my previous posts with my photos on it, my hair is kind of messy and now on this picture it's all fixed up. Thanks to Sir Seven Lee of Tony and Jackey (SM San Lazaro) for doing a great job on my hair. They've been into quality hair service for years. And if you are into Korean hair innovation here in the Philippines, they are the one that I recommend. Actually, I've already made a post before about them concerning about my pompadour hair. Here's the link. I'm not actually a fan of Korean Music or Drama. But when it comes to their fashion, it's part of my favorites. That's why every time I cut my hair, I choose Tony and Jackey. When I had this down perm thingy, they are on sale and I think it's still up until November 15. So you better go now and have you hair treated. Then while on the process, one of their friendly staffs asked me to join their contest which caught my attention because you get to win a lot of GC's. And that would be of big help for me. Here's how:

 Okay, am not prepared. I know!

I am PAULO and YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE!
