The heavy downpour was non-stop that day so I opted to wear something that would make me warm. I imagined myself again in the streets of London with the same ensemble. Dreaming of London again. All I need is an umbrella and wellington boots and I will be ready for the city. Now that fall is nearing on the other side of the world, layered clothing and fall staples are handy. But in my case, these pieces would only be applicable on a rainy day so that's what I did.

I feel inspired today and feel like experimenting because it's my little brother's birthday today! He's now eleven years old and our precious baby is not-so-much-a-baby anymore.

I know I have to make a clash of prints and splash of colors again today when I saw my purple pullovers and blue dress. Because I am a sucker for socks these days, I wore one with my flats and up a notch the outfit by adding my neon headband and detachable collar to the ensemble. I used the black side this time.

I love how it turned out and I love the vintage vibe of this outfit. It also gave off a nerdy chic look. It then reminded me of Zooey Deschanel's style in the TV show, New Girl.

Now that I mentioned it, the TV show's jingle is now playing in my head:

"Who's that girl? Who's that girl? It's Jess."

Basic rule in an outfit: if you're covering the upper torso, show some skin on the lower torso, and vice versa. Plus, it was freaking hot that day so there goes my excuse.

I was in a dressing up mood that I wanted to wear my wedges and socks to up a notch the outfit. But I don't want to overdress for a casual occasion so i wore them just for the photos and blogging's sake. After that, I changed to my flats so I can walk and run comfortably while assisting my brother.

Here's my brother wearing his costume for the Cariñosa dance. He was really great out there and I am so proud of him. He's really a good dancer.

Anyhow, surprisingly, it made me miss my Alma Mater. All the activities I used to do back in high school and elementary, and of course my friends. I had a little chit chat and laughter with some of them and I actually enjoyed visiting the school despite the extreme heat.

To end this, here's some photos of my brother and me while goofing off after the event.

I just love the way he looks at her. Full of desire. LOL. Just kidding guys! You know I was routing for you! ;)

Look at how Angela looked at him while he was eating!

With Angela, who also wore a laid back outfit.

Camwhoring here we go!

My favorite photo of the two. Aren't they adorable? ♥
