Election Day Outfit

Leave a reply

I’m sharing here what I wore on election day. That monumental day when a presidential candidate, our best bet, won by a landslide. I’m happy that I cast my vote wearing what I thought was comfortable for me.

I always go for comfort. I’ve always been a shirt and jeans type of girl ever since. I also have a pair of slacks and capri pants. This one’s a khaki capri pants paired with a soft printed white shirt. I also wore my black sneakers (hidden). I’ve got the get-up complete with this Amihan sling bag that I used for the first time since I bought it in 2019.

Give forward by bringing back

I think I have found a solution to my problem of disposing old clothes and old school uniforms that have been bugging me for a long time.

My son gave me this pamphlet from a popular shopping retail company. The pamphlet said the store accepts old clothes in whatever form they may be. The goal is to:

REWEAR (clothes that can be worn again);

REUSE (textiles that are no longer suitable to wear are converted into other products, such as cleaning cloths);

RECYCLE (textiles that can’t be reused get a new chances as textile fibres, or are used to manufacture products such as damping and insulation materials fro the auto industry.

The company’s collecting initiatives aims to lessen the clothes and textiles that end up in landfills when 95 percent could be used again.

“The H&M garment collecting initiative has been created to decrease the waste and close the fashion loop. So if you’ve got something worn, torn, or hopelessly out of style – don’t throw it away or let it pile up in the back of our wardrobe. Bring back all your unwanted clothes and home textiles to your local H&M store.”

As a token for the effort in bringing your old clothes to the store, they will be giving voucher (for each bag you hand in) with a discount for your next purchase. Please visit their website hm.com/garment-collecting ico-spirit.com to know more about this initiative.

I’ll be sorting more old clothes this week to free additional space in the cabinet and do my share in reducing waste from old clothes and textiles.

Warehouse Unveils Spring Summer 2018 Collection

Leave a reply

This Spring Summer 2018, Warehouse elevates key British summer staples with a modern twist, curating a wearable collection for the stylish woman who lives the city.

Each story within the collection embodies a contemporary approach to urban summer dressing, reimagining casual fabrics, softening structured silhouettes and modernising traditional prints.

City-smart tailoring is given an informal edge with an oversized fit and relaxed pastel colour palette, featuring blue with highlights of pink.

Fringing, drapery and wrap shapes make day and jersey dresses feel directional for summer, while classic indigo denim is modernised for urban living with structured silhouettes.

Bold, graphic block panels and stripes look fresh in shades of aubergine, navy and green. Featuring layers of contemporary fan floral designs and layered scarf prints.

Contrasting against wild conservatory-inspired plant prints sit on a backdrop of tangerine and forest green. An urban, multi-shaded granite print completes the colour palette.

Texture is explored through smart indigo and white denim, juxtaposed against soft jacquard dresses returning to natural fabrications such as cotton and linen. Inclusive of soft fluid tailoring, compact knit midi skirts and slinky jersey.
