P150 Vintage Tank Dress from our Neighborhood Ukay-Ukay Shop

A few steps from where I live lies an ukay-ukay shop (thrift store) that sells an assortment of cheap, vintage clothes. I have already bought several items from them before, but this is the first time I’m blogging about my ukay-ukay purchase. It’s a purple vintage tank dress which I got for only P150. Talk about bargain hunting/budget shopping.


What made me decide to buy this dress was the unique design of its lower body. You see, the uneven, short stitches (pleats) make it appear like a wide, balloon skirt. When I tried the dress on, I instantly fell in love with the volume made by those artsy pleats. I imagined myself wearing it in the office topped with a white cardigan to make it a bit formal. Or just as it is when I hit the mall with the boyfriend.

I really like this dress. It’s great I found this in our neighborhood ukay-ukay shop before somebody else gets it. Ukay-ukay shops are love. One man’s trash is indeed another man’s treasure.

Oh and, if ever you get to pass thru Nagtahan area, check this ukay-ukay shop on J.P. Laurel St., just in front of Max’s Restaurant. Their vintage dresses sell for P150 only. Their vintage tops and skirts are cheaper at P100 per piece. They also have vintage shoes and men’s apparel on display.

Fruit Punch Slippers at SM Dept. Store

When we went to SM Megamall last night, we checked out the department store and got three nice-looking pairs of flip flops. The brand was Fruit Punch and true to its name, it had some interesting fruit designs on the soles.


What I liked about it though was the style of the slippers itself that looked as if they were sandals. It had this horizontal strap connecting the two straps of the slippers. I bet they’d look good on jeans and even shorts.


For only P99.75 per pair, I think it’s a wise buy.

My Collezione Fashion: Casual but Patriotic

'Twas my first time to buy clothing from Collezione and I'm glad I did. It's a navy blue shirt dress which is part of Collezione's C2 My Pilipinas Collection designed by well-respected fashion designer Rhett Eala. It's a very straight-forward dress and very nationalistic, if I may add, with an embroidered Philippine map on the exact spot where the heart is. Talk about 'patriotic fashion.'




I got it for P899.75. The shirts sell for P699.75 per piece. I opted to get the shirt dress for a change (most of my friends got the shirt) and the fact that I feel more feminine in a dress.

I have only used my shirt dress once during our visit to St. Claire Monastery in Katipunan, Quezon City last Sunday. It fit my body well and I just loved wearing it knowing I got to promote my country in my own little way.
