The Big Holiday Outlet Sale 2013 on October 25-27.

Fashion Advice

I have been looking for something yellow to wear to our office meetings for maybe five years.  I had not been happy with the blouses that my mom got me, but was too lazy to shop on my own until this year.  I saw a yellow blouse at Bayo Greenhills, but I did not like it.

Then I chanced on a mustard blazer at Robinsons Department Store Magnolia.  Why not?  Then I can wear any white, black, grey, or brown blouse underneath the blazer.

Short.

Then I chanced on a long cardigan with matching ribbon tie.  I was happy with it until I saw a short version.  Now I'm undecided on which one to get.  What do you think?

Now that I'm looking at the photos, I think that the long one would fit most of my clothes, as the short one's sleeves are too short.

Incidentally, my office has announced that there are plans to change our color!  I told them that they couldn't, as I had already invested in a blazer!

I was told that mustard is the company color, but that our group color was yellow.  Waaah!

Long.

In and Out of My Bag

My friend gave me their batch fundraising bag.

In the Half Something, Half Pinoy Bloggers group, Tricia Tanhueco urged everyone to also do a What's in my bag? post.

I first heard of this concept from Baddicts! Founder Brekl Garcia, who had wanted to start a What's in my bag thread maybe in 2004.

I don't think that we--I was one of the founding members, along with Rickleng's girlfriend (now wife) Pho, Tinapay, Rory and Thea--ever pushed through with it.  Nor have I ever done a post like it.

And I was surprised at how many things my bag had in and outside it, and that was excluding my wallets, which I had moved to my office bag for tomorrow!

10% off at Watson's V-Mall today.

Hanging from a shoulder strap is my Blue Eagles hand sanitizer, my first Blue Eagles anything--don't even own a shirt--which my friend gave me only today!  The attachment is good for me, as I'm too lazy to go through my bag to look for my hand sanitizer.

She said that all Watson's items were 10% off today, but was not sure if this was just for SM Advantage cardholders.

Pashmina, Inquirer, key/USB case, Monopoly case, passbooks, checkbooks.

Anyway, with the UAAP season in full swing, she said that there were a lot of clean Protec Blue Eagles sanitizers, unlike when she got one maybe a month ago, when there was only one in stock, with a red liquid in it, which was appreciated by the Austrian guy who had gotten it.  The ones she got for us, had matching blue in it.

To think that when we went to Watson's to look for the Blue Eagles sanitizer, the saleslady was at first unaware that they had it and when we asked for other stock, she even suggested that we get another school sanitizer!

The camera, Monopoly and pashmina stay in the bag.

Anyway, my bag had my Samsung Corby, toilet paper, tissue paper, BDO passbooks and checkbooks, the Canon 310 that Amanda Green had given me, the Inquirer Music Museum page, a Citibank card letter, my Globe bills which I settled today, my Asia Insurance commission envelope, a Collezione shirt, a red pashmina from I don't know where, my Monopoly card deal game from APLD, my keys, Scan Disk flash drive, Thor-Lo socks,  Lineplus highlighter which I've never used since ADT paid for it last month at Fully Booked, my face towel, the Fit Right OR for the Meg pants I had altered (for ejection, the OR not the pants), Elizabeth Arden foundation stick from CGL and which I should throw away because it's used up, Victoria's Secret hand sanitizer from Ms. Vegas and the Caltex promo flyer and card slip so my friend can text her raffle entry since I used her card to get gas.

The unexpurgated view includes a Chowking napkin.

Some stuff were in the Bags in the City pouch and the Pabder shoe bag.

Since my wallets were in my Lapdance business bag which DT had gotten for me, I got to thinking of taking photos of the contents of my laptop bag, but realized that blogging about it would be another major production.  So maybe in another eight years.

True Religion Jacket

With my Space pants.

Thanks to Ms. Vegas for my red, large jacket and to RKLdG for having her driver deliver it to me--to the wrong address!  After three months, R's balikbayan box finally arrived in the Promised Land of Moses.

I don't know how she figured out my size after my roundabout answer to her question that didn't include blazers, jackets, cardigans or sweaters at all!

Speaking of which, what do you call all of them as group?  Blackets?  Carditers?  Covers?  Coats?  Sears calls this category 'Jackets and Blazers,' which includes vests.

I just bought an Ann Loft overrun at Greenhills tiangge with the label slashed off so I don't know what my size is.  What do you call it when it is buttonless with a sash?  It seems that it is a cardigan.

Anyway, back to sizes.  I have a pilit Penshoppe Large that I bought because I loved the quilted design even though it was a tad too small for me.

Less pilit is my clingy Medium Meg blazer.  And the UWN jacket that AMYC gave me is a roomy Small.  I fell in love with a Large velvet black jacket at PBCom, but I couldn't button up so I didn't get it.  Good incentive to lose waist.

Track Jacket.

So, to my Kapitbahay who doesn't read blogs, ang galing mong magtantya!  Showing ang years of experience mo sa garments business.

BTW, we call each other Neighbor because I told her, buti pa tayo, ang layo-layo natin, ang dalas nating mag-usap, di tulad ng mga taga-rito; para tayong magkapitbahay.

And if my mom were to answer your question about what my favorite color is, she complains that I have so many greys, referring to my blanket and Ann Loft cardigan.

But the red jacket should come in handy the next time I sit with Mike Abasolo at the San Beda section, or at the next Fil-Chi birthday party.

Size

Today, I got this email from Miss Vegas: 'Miss anong size ka…. LARGE?????'


My answer: S to XL.  I don't mean before or after diets, I mean today, before, during and after diets, successful, accidental or not.  I have not lost or gained a lot of inches since last year when I went to Boracay when I bought my Artwork shirt, until sometime this month when I bought Collezione shirts.  My old clothes fit just about the same as my new ones.  My tops sizes are either 3 for Collezione, S for Artwork or XL for Lonely Planet.  I do not own a M or L shirt.  In a shirt company's eyes, I am either fat or thin, never just right.


The same is true with bottoms.  According to Space, I am S (shorts or denim pants), but according to Fila and Adidas, I am XL.  According to Nike, I am nobody, as it does not have XL and their biggest size, L, does not fit me.


Only Debenhams and Plains and Prints think I'm normal, at sizes 8 and USA 6.  But Plains and Prints is not normal.  They have clothes that, like Nike, do not carry my size, or of a different size.   I tried on three pieces of clothing at Plains and Prints at The Shops in Greenhills and they were all of different sizes.  Two fit me, and the other one was too small, even though it was the biggest size that they had.
