OOTD: Cozy Blue

Whoo~ I'm back with another outfit of the day. This was from quite a while back, mid-November when the weather was just starting to gain some semblance of coolness to it. And by coolness, I mean it's at most 24 degrees in the morning as opposed to the usual 30+. Thus I, being the eager beaver that I am, was excited to finally be able to wear this cute little blue knit sweater my aunt got me from XXI.

I know blue isn't the typical color for a sweater but it was just so eye-catchingly bright. I've always had a thing for brightly colored sweaters, I just never could get the chance to wear them with the weather here in the Philippines, but considering that the days are getting colder, plus the fact that almost all my classes are being held in frigidly air-conditioned rooms, I finally got to put this baby (and hopefully more of my warmer clothing) to use. Surprisingly, even when worn out in the sun, this sweater didn't feel too hot. Probably because of the aeration of the holes. But it did keep me quite cozy during class and in the cold mornings.

Sweaters are so incredibly easy to style with simple accessories. The necklace I have on is actually one I got free from a dress I got in Bangkok. The simple rustic feel does wonders with the brightly covered sweater. It also went pretty well with coral hair accessories and a belt contrasting the cool tones of the blue. Since I was so covered up on top, I decided to balance it out with some denim shorts, and my favorite boots. It makes for a pretty canvas of color, really :P

I've been doing my hair in braids quite often recently. I think I'm starting to get a hang of the technique. While it would usually take me thirty minutes to muster a decent looking french or dutch braid, I can actually do one in under 15 minutes now hahaha. It's far from the ideal, but hey, it's progress. Also, excuse the flatness of my bangs in these pictures. They sorta lost their volume throughout the day, plus I didn't actually do anything to them to make them look more bang-like lol.

Now that December's here, are there any fashion pieces you think are more appropriate this time of year? Feel free to share down in the comments. I love exchanging ideas with you guys haha.
