Ukay-ukay Wonders

Thrift shops or "Ukay-ukays" were the last shopping destinations I thought I'd find myself amazed with. I have nothing against "ukays" at all, it's just that I've never been successful in this place before. Oh well, that was way before. Now, I've already added this wonderful place to my "must shop at" list. Here are three of my latest looks working my wonderful finds from the famous "ukay-ukay". Don't you just love them? :p

The UKAY Challenge

After re-doing my client's dress last week, I got so inspired that I tried my luck at the nearest UKAY-UKAY I knew of. I was never a fan of vintage shops before. I've tried a couple of times but I've never been amazed. In my previous attempts, I just ended-up having more clothes to give away. But this time, I found myself so amazed with the selection that I took around 10 clothes with me to the fitting room, haha! I got this pair of wide-leg electric pleated midi pants from my very 1st successful UKAY trip. I bought two more skirts with very interesting details too. :)

 Here's another thing I'm looking forward to this month. I got myself this precious pass to Forever21's show for Fashion Week! Sad though because I had to break my piggy bank again just to get this invitation. But anyway, I'm excited and I so can't wait!!


I bought this super pretty pair of shoes from the store. Who would say no to such a beautiful pair? I can't wait to wear it! :)
