A Practical Winter Fashion List

via
What excites me when short-living on a new city is the new fashion that I can experiment with. My first taste with winter fashion developed when I get to live in Baguio City for a couple of months for my on-the-job training in a semiconductor company. Temperature is normally 18C there and even fell to 9C in January. I gave the leggings + doll shoes combo a shot there.

But now that I am here in Limerick, things get a whole lot better, fashion-wise, since I have an excuse to wear and buy boots! Always loved the winter outfit. Yeah, so now, I am going to work on my fashion closet so that I could buy practical things. Translation: I can wear them even if I go home to the Philippines.

Side note: Do you know what other thing I love about the cold weather? It makes you lose fat as if you have just worked out. Ten minutes of shivering will make you lose the same amount of fat as one hour of working out. So yay! It's not just all about blood pressure it has something to do with brown fat hormones. 

So, here are the top things in my practical winter fashion list.

Knitted Tops


This looks cute, but with the current weather, I just might not survive the cold. Or, I could just wear a winter jacket over it.

Scarves

I've seen a dark blue with white bird prints on it for only €4.00. Will buy it soon!

Leg Warmers

I just thought they're cute peeking on top of the boots. They would certainly keep my leggies some warmth.

Cool Vintage Shirts/Sexy Long-sleeved tops

I really need a decent neutral winter jacket soon so I could just play away with the inside layers, wear them when I go back home. Was thinking of having a neutral-color winter fashion until I bought the bright blue winter wear.
Thermal Leggings

via
They cost a little expensive at €7 a pair, but I still think they're a wise investment here.

Laid Back Boots

I'm still debating whether I'm going for flat calf-high boots or the almost knee-high ones. One thing's for sure, they're going to be grey or brown.

Final Notes to Self When Buying Winter Clothing

❅ Stick to the following color hues: greys, dark blues, olive greens, browns and some pale pink or maroon for accents.
❅ Buy pieces I can use back in the Philippines. 
❅ Start looking for pasalubong pieces for loved ones.

I Guess I'm Falling Deeper in Love

with life everyday. I don't know why, but I like it.  Maybe because I have finally discovered and devoted time in reading the bible. I bought one with a purple cover last January when I came back here in Cavite. The move of buying one just struck me. It also has colorful illustrations, which makes learning the Word of God more interesting.  Or maybe because I've finally realized that I love my job this afternoon when I have started debugging. I felt the rush to do the task and my hands are itching to make them work. At first, though, I was helpless since I still don't know how my department works, but I became familiar and comfortable after some time. The job that I have right now is the job that I've been envisioning during my college years -- interfacing the hardware with the software. I like making this combo work. :) I then again received my horoscope message from my mom. It's as if I am subscribing to a random surprise horoscope. It goes like this: You...

A History Not So Long Ago

Image
I have made a pact with myself a few months ago to read all my electronic and communications books for the upcoming ECE board exams next year. However, when I got to the part,FAQs: The Internet & WWW, I had a hard time concentrating when my laptop with an internet connection is just a mere 4 feet away from me. Walking away from my boring study table and sitting on the shining throne sitting in front of my Compaq would be effortless. Congratulate me though, I finished reading the entire chapter before I plunge into this sweetest escape, the Internet. But first, I want to give credits to a bunch of geniuses for providing humanity an intangible space, in which they can boldly do incredible things. First off, to the US Military, for developing and deploying communications networks,one of which is the ARPANET, which is, in turn, believed to be the precursor of the Internet. To the National Science Foundation (NSF) for administering the research of the Internet. Basically, the Inte...

I am absolutely in love with JGT all over again.

I just watched Inception today. OMG. I am getting old. I can't watch a great movie in time, but I wanted to thanks myself for treating out myself. I stopped writing articles this afternoon for the reason that my back hurt. So, instead, I gave in to movie watching. Yay me. I don't have time to review the movie, Inception. Maybe next time. My 24 hours is just too short for my every-weekend life. I need more time to blog and write articles. But anyway, I so appreciate the movie. Too bad I didn't watched it with him. If he was a movie, he'll be Inception. It is so him, deep and interesting and so darn smart. But anyway, back to JGT. I love him more than ever! :D I liked him during the Angels in the Outfield Days. I can still remember the fuzzy warm feeling around my heart everytime I watched the film. Hey, I was young! I'm infatuated with him in Ten Things About You. So cute. With his dimples and expressions and everything. I wished I was Summer Finn in 500...
