FASHION 101: Invest in BLUE CHIP outfits

Oh, it's time for spring cleaning baby! BER months are here so it's time to say hello to parties here & there. Time to bring out our best OOTDs to dress for this season, eh? Admit it or not, I know that you, too, have pieces in your wardrobes that have been hanged for over a year without you even wearing once. Some styles we have just outgrown & we can't imagine ourselves even wearing those OOTDs ever again. So I say, let's invest more in timeless pieces that can make us stylishly stand out no matter what season nor reason.


So what do I consider as BLUE CHIP outfits? These are styles & outfits that can withstand the test of time! Blue chip outfits don't necessarily refer to outfits that have a high price tag, but outfits that can make you still look stylishly modern, versatile & on-point no matter what season.


Here are my BLUE CHIP picks:

1) BLACK SPAGHETTI STRAP
A black spaghetti strap is a must in every fashionista's dresser. This can go with any and every style ensemble. If you are more experimental like me, try to find a spaghetti strap that is uniquely styled. The lace & neck twist gave my spaghetti strap that extra oomph factor that I was looking for. It's a basic outfit that screams sophistication all over.


2) SEXY CUT-OUT TROUSERS
I am no plain Jane so you would hardly see me in a T-shirt & jeans look. I love flowy trousers that can make me feel comfortable all day long, but can still make me look dressy! I like investing in peek-a-boo pieces & vibrant shades as I find them modern & trendy. Change your trouser colors and you'll keep every one guessing what your age is.


3) STATEMENT EARRINGS
Pops of colors give your outfit a more edgy look. Remember that even a simple pair of feathered or tasseled earrings can do the trick. A basic look is perfect for statement earrings to steal the spotlight.


4) PERFECTLY SHAPED SUNNIES
Invest in shades that complement your face shape. Feel free to try out Aviators, Wayfarers, Round, Cat-eye or Oversized sunnies until you find the perfect eyewear. Try it on in front of the mirror or take selfies all you want in different angles. It's the only way to know which shape fits you best. Oh trust me, you'll look extra cool with shades on especially when you have chinita eyes like me! haha!


5) SHOES WITH STUDS/STRAPS
Shoes do really make or break your outfit. Dress your part and let your shoes do the talking. If your prefer a more comfortable high heeled shoes like me, opt to buy block heels rather than stilettos. It'll make you last longer hours and still make you look confidently sexy. Shoes with studs/straps are a must-buy for me as they look so posh no matter how basic one dresses up. It gives you that instant 'Look at Me' effect.

FLORES DE MAYO

What to do in my version of Flores de Mayo?
Let's try out FLOSSOM Kitchen + Cafe!
Of course, I have to be in my best floral OOTD to be in full blossom!
So let me tickle your tastebuds in my newest food trip.
Be captured with this simplistic laid back garden themed cafe,
Where every entree served is oozing with so much flavor & goodness.
Oh, I have an insider tip for you!
Request that orange couch for that IG-worthy snap.
Yes, you can make reservations,
And I suggest that you as this place is always packed especially on weekends.
So we started our Flossom experience with their version of Buffalo Mac & Cheese!
The kick of this dish was unique & interesting. 
I just loved how perfect the fusion of the blue cheese & spice cheese was.
And the buffalo chicken tenders was simply AAAAH-mazing.
So if you love seafood & risotto like me then your best pairing bet would be this!
Flossom's Pan-Grilled Salmon with Mushroom Truffle Risotto deserves a round 2 with me.
If you ask me, this is Flossom's must-order dish.
The salmon was simply a fresh catch on the bed of the aromatic risotto.
The Four Cheese Pizza needed some extra work.
Wished this was cheesier and wished they had an all-meat pizza!
Hope you enjoyed my Flores de Mayo experience!
May went by so fast and summer's almost over.
But no worries, florals will always be "IN" no matter what season nor reason.
Check out Flossom too & let me know if you enjoyed my recommendation.
'Til my next food trip!
