Ever since skirts became a thing, my five-foot-and-few-inches-self wished to have longer legs for me to pull off the look. Yes, there are different kinds and of different lengths but since I'm a lover of skirts, I want to have them in all forms—skater skirt, maxi, or pencil skirt. I have all of them except for maxi. To me, it was meant for modelesque ladies. Good thing, midi skirts were born.
But I thought anyone could look good on skirts may it be petite or long-leggeds. We just have to know the basics when it comes to wearing one. So, I made a short guide on how to wear a midi skirt the right way and look good on it.
1. Pair it with a cropped top.
Because of its short length, it adds an illusion to your body that helps you look taller. It always does the trick, girl!
2. But if you don't have a cropped top, just tuck it in.
3. Add a little accessory
To have the extra feminine vibe, accessorize it with pearls but keep it minimal so as not to make it overwhelming.
4. Go high or go home
Personally, I don't like wearing heels but I think they are your best friend if you ever think of slipping into midi. Heels are an instant way to un-frump it. Besides, they are confidence booster.
But if all else fails, the only way to pull this look is to smile. Just smile and be confident. Trust me, it works!

If you're reading this and you're not happy right now, you will be. I'm not sure though what you are going through. I don't know how hard these past few days have been to you. I'm not sure if you're hurting right now 'cause I don't know how painful your current situation is.
I'm also not sure how down you are after getting a lot of discouraging words from people you value the most. I don't know how you take it. But what I'm sure of is you will get over it. You will get through all of these things. You'll do good. Things will get better and so are you. No matter how dark it gets, life will be brighter.
And one day, I'm sure, you'll look back on days like these and you'll smile, laugh even. And it'll hit you. You turned out just fine.
What I Wore
Okay, so this is what I wore when I felt all the blues in the world last week.
Off-shoulders are making a scene now so it's quite hard to stand out when wearing one because they all look almost the same. So when I saw this white off-shoulder top from Shein, I just can't help but squeal a bit because it's so cute and girly. In short, it's so me!
Isn't it cute? I love how comfy it is when worn. And the ribbon straps just make you stand out from the crowd. I think I'm gonna abuse this for a long time!
So, what do you think of my look? Let me hear your thoughts! I would really appreciate all your comments may they be good or bad. PS. shout out to my good friends, Charm and Gio for these great photos! :)

One of the best ways to stay warm during the cold season is to wear thick clothing pieces like coats, knits, and sweaters. Though layering clothes or even finishing your look with a coat sounds fun and stylish, it's quite inappropriate for it to be done here in the Philippines since we don't have Fall or Winter, unlike other countries. So, the best way to go through this season is to wear comfy sweatshirts instead.
Personally, I love wearing sweatshirts because it's comfy and stylish at the same time. Whenever I feel lazy to dress up or bring a jacket, a sweatshirt is my go-to piece. However, picking the right sweater style can be really tricky since there are tons of designs out there trying to take your moolah away!
And when it comes to wearing them out and about, we stick to the good ol' look so to help you out, I've rounded up a list of three (3) sweatshirts from StyleWe that you should totally own now.
1. Over-sized sweaters
Really, there's nothing comfier than cozying up in over-sized, soft sweaters.
Simple Solid Crew Neck Sweatshirt
2. Sweater dress
Basically, it's just a long sweater that can be worn without pants. But it's very versatile and stylish!
Purple Simple Plain Color-block Sweatshirt
3. Cropped
You can never go wrong with cropped sweaters. Either pair it perfectly with high-waist bottoms or flaunt your skin, you'll never be out of style.

With the fashion industry growing quickly, there could have been too many online shops that are competing already. But because trends are evolving fast, these shops have to adapt to it for them to keep their loyal customers and gain new shoppers every now and then.
Moon Shop PH is just one among the online shops that keep their store updated on the latest styles. The shop always put its best foot forward to be on trend and keep their name running towards the line of sartorial industry. It was just two years ago when Moon Shop UAE was first launched in Dubai but they already tasted success with over 3,000 customers worldwide so, they decided to take things to the next level.
75-80% of their customers are Filipinos. Because of this, they launched another site in the Philippines after having a number of inquiries on when they will be launched in the country, hence, Moon Shop PH was born.
So, how are they different from other online shops?
Glad you asked, my friend.
All their products are designed and manufactured in Korea and/or Vietnam. For them, it’s very important to let their audience know that they are not selling Chinese products, that’s why their pieces are quite expensive. But they assure their customers that they get what they pay for. The price though a bit higher, is not that far from their competitors' price range. What sets them apart is that everything they sell is of good quality.
Here's what they have for you in store:
In their list of must-have clothes, all the picks are crafted in a very chic and sleek style, perfect for every lady's taste. For casual and party nights, office attire, and other special occasions, they've got you covered!
What's in it for me, then?
The deal is, they offer free delivery nationwide for orders 1,500 pesos and above. They also have a strict refund policy where the customers get a full refund, free of any hidden charges if they don't get exactly what they promote. And the best thing here is, it has never happened to Moon Shop before. So more people are trusting them and they give their customers great confidence. As the saying goes, what you see is what you get.
After their successful launch in the Philippines, Moon Shop is planning to expand in other parts of Asia— Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand.
