Recessionista: Night Out Outfit

Bryan invited me to his Christmas Party last night. En route I passed by an Ukay Ukay and typical me, I was enamored by the cheap finds there. So much for trying to pay off all my debts before the year ends. More of it on my future posts.

Anyhoo, while waiting for Bryan to fetch me, a guy in his white pick up truck tried to give me a lift. Hahaha! Crazy!

So, this is what I wore for the party....

Thrifted shimmery blouse:   50Php
Thrifted tiered skirt:            50Php
Thrifted shoes:                 150Php

Note the shoes. This is one precious find from the Ukay Ukay yesterday. I had to switch from my Alberto's to this one because it was too darn cute and comfy!

Expect more ukay ukay lookbooks on my future posts because I'm dressing up more these days.

Merry Christmas everyone and to those grinches out there who wants me to be politically correct Happy Holidays!

PS. Sorry for the bare face. No make up handy during the party. =(

Vamoose!
