Charcoal and Lace

Let me start with the outfit post :P



A short story about this dress. First of all, it was from a bazaar. It's made of lace...and I bought it during that time when I was in my Lace Phase. I have loved lace for the longest time. I think since grade school haha. I guess I'm a sucker for pretty things. So when the lace trend came out, I was OBSESSED! If my mother hadn't stopped me, I probably would have bought more. Well now that I think I've had my fair dose of it, I've come to the point that I can say "don't add any more lace in your closet, Ai."

Anyway...back to the story. I first found this in Greenhills. By the time I saw it though, I was left with very little money at hand. I think I already spent too much that day before I saw it. So, I had to let it go. A few months later...yup, I spotted it again at the Port 88 Bazaar! Yipee! Even better, it was 150 pesos cheaper than the first time I saw it. I took it as some sort of fashion intervention and said it re-appeared to me because it was fate or something. Or, maybe I just lack control when it comes to shopping :-| (or both...)
