OOTD: Back to School Floral

So Thursday was the start of a new semester for me. The first few days of class aren't very hectic because most teachers are on break hangover just like we are so we end up only having numerous orientations and sometimes the teachers don't even show up. Needless to say, I apparently happen to have some rather responsible teachers because all of them showed up on the first day of class. Bleh, I was even late for my first class. What a way to start the sem.

That aside, I always get dismissed at 2:30 (pretty early IMO) on Thursdays so I managed to sneak in a few shots of my outfit that day :P A special look for a semi-special day I guess haha.

The dress is a cheap steal from JAG, so it's not really much to rave about. I'm a bit of a cheapskate when it comes to clothes - if the make is good and it looks pretty then why not? Although I am a sucker for brands sometimes. Probably the only most expensive things in this outfit are my shoes and my bag.

That bag is surprisingly thirteen years old from United Colors of Benetton. I've always been taught to take care of my belongings so I'm proud it's lasted long enough to be called semi-vintage haha. The shoes on the other hand are from Naturalizer (N5 Comfort) made with real leather and suede. My aunt got them for me on sale for 120 USD as a graduation present. They seem to do their job well as an everyday college-life pair of shoes.

It was a rather gloomy day that day and the sky was overcast so I had to cheat a little and up the saturation to make the blue really shine through. Why waste a beautiful setting with a gloomy sky, right?

The glory of the amphitheater speaks for itself.

These photos were taken at the new Science Complex in UP Diliman. My new home for the last few sems of my college life. It's become a famous photoshoot setting for a lot of people because of the greenery and landscape. A testimony to this is the fact that while we were shooting these photos, another group of people were shooting what I think to be blogshop photos as well haha. Our complex is famous!

Another thing I'm pretty proud of is my hair that day haha. Yeah, I actually exerted effor this time :P I think braids go beautifully with this outfit don't you think? The flower clip is one of a pair I got from F21 :P. Yeah, I'm cheap. Sue me.

I could post a tutorial on this braid if you guys want, so just tell me if you do :P It's actually very simple =_="""

I would have taken more photos but then it started drizzling. Poo you, rain D: It isn't very clear just how overcast the sky was here because of my awezome photoshop skills but yeah. Shortly after it started pouring D: So much for a nice bright day. At least my outfit's ambiance lasted for a short while haha.

I'd ask you guys to share your back to school outfits as well, but that ship has sailed and gone. I blame the Philippines for having an odd academic calendar. Owell.

So what do you guys think?
