The weather here in Manila has been bipolar lately. Sunny in the morning, then comes the rain at the afternoon. Of course, it's a hassle for fashionistas (wow yes fashionista hahaha) like me to dress up appropriately for the weather because I do believe you don't have to sacrifice your comfort just to look good. Although there are exceptions for me sometimes, but then a big factor of wearing a great outfit, is wearing it along with a great confidence. 

So yeah, here's an outfit inspo for the bipolar weather.

Sleeveless Tops- I find the peach crochet top, a very weather friendly top. Since it's not too summer-y kind of a top, it's also not for the really cold weather. I think it's just neutral. As well as the nautical blue sleeveless silk shirt. The shade of blue can be both for a hot or cold weather, not too dark, and not too light.

Loose Tees- The nice thing about wearing loose tees, is that it's breezy. When it suddenly rains, a friendly cardigan or jacket always works with it.

Short Blouses- Kind of a crop top, but not the breezy kind of crop top. Which is nice because it's material is not that of a thin cloth and it's floral! I've been in love with this kind of blouse recently and a blouse like this could go great with any bottom, but most especially with a high waist pants.

Plaid Shirts- A great combo for plaid shirts are tank tops, just like the 5sos top at the picture. Although, I'd say flannels are too thick. I think this is the most convenient outfit, because when it's cold, it could be worn with the tank top inside, and when the weather becomes sunny, you can remove the plaid shirt and just tie it in your waist.

Midi Skirts/Skater Skirts- Although the floral skirt on the left side of the picture isn't really a skater skirt, but it's length is just the same (i think), and the floral skirt on the right side, is the midi skirt. Wearing skirts can be comfortable on a hot weather, as well as on a cold weather. I think it just depends on how you style it.

High Waist Pants- It may be plainly jeans or with a distressing. It goes well with crop tops or short blouses. 

Boyfriend Jeans- This has been the trend recently and I think, it is not that really simple to carry. I mean, when you put up an outfit with boyfriend jeans, you have to have this right confidence and right styling of wearing it.

Midi Shorts- Not to short shorts like what it's commonly known for most Filipinos as "pekp*k shorts," and not too long for a 3/4 shorts or tokong shorts. Just the right length.

Loose Shorts- Although, it might be a summer piece, I think it's still nice to wear it during this bipolar weather. Since in a day, the sunny weather is longer than the cold rainy weather. 

I was supposed to attend a debut tonight... My friend's 18th birthday party. A very special event for me, since it's rare that my group of friends throw a formal debut and I'm part of the 18 candles!! :( I couldn't go because I'm technically grounded. This is like the saddest and most depressing part of my life right now... But anyway, life goes on. So here, I made an outfit inspiration for the event. It's theme was pastel colors. So there. Haha. 

1. Flowy dresses

       It's hard to keep your poise when you always have to struggle keeping your dress down because of the wind, right? So bid goodbye to your summer/flowy dresses for now. 

2. Thin flowy skirts

       Same with flowy dresses, it's really a struggle. Like for my personal experience, since I study at DLSU, we have this Henry Sy Grounds where a lot of students just hang out, sit on the floor and chill. On that very ground, the wind blows the hardest. EVERY. TIME. I. SWEAR. It's been a struggle for me, sometimes even if it's not raining, when I wear a skirt or dress of course i have to keep my guard on it and what happens is I get my hair all looking so messy (no, not a good messy hair) and it's really awkward especially if I have to take the escalator! Although, there are some skirts, like leather or those skater skirts of heavy cloth material, which are not too flowy, can still be used. :) 

3. Light colored pants

       Last year, I've had this incident before when I forgot that the rain just stopped like less than 2 hours before I left early in the morning at my house, so I wore my light green pants. Guess what. When I got to school, I just noticed some mud  stains at the bottom back part of my pants. Awesome, right?? not. So of course I just wanted to really go home, end that day and pretend it was all just a design on my pants. 

4. Velvet/Suede shoes

       Shoes that are made of suede or velvet aren't really suitable with water as it may put some stains on your favorite pair of suede flats, just like mine. Well, I don't think I still need to tell how my suede flats went stained by the water. I think it's pretty obvious. Although, there are some ways that you can still revive your suede/velvet flats, just Google it hehe.

5. Short shorts

       The cold weather may not be that comfortable for your legs. As to what they say in Filipino, "baka malamigan." When that happens, your legs will eventually get sore. Although, you can still wear it with some layering, like wearing tights underneath. Same with skirts or dresses that you can wear tights underneath.

6. Flowy or Mini crop tops

      Showing off too much of your belly... I don't think it's ever a trend during rainy seasons. Although some may crop tops can still be worn, as long as they are not that super cropped, like mini crop tops and flowy. Some crop tops like those that are paired with bodycon midi skirts, or crop tops with long sleeves and thick enough.

7. Cut-out/Crochet tops

       Well most of crochet tops are really those with cut-outs, right? Well yes, the more cut-outs, the more you won't feel warm. And I really think that crochet tops are really for summer vibes. Fortunately, you can still wear those tops with the help of wearing a jacket or cardigan. 

Never worry, because it won't surely rain EVERY day and there are lots of alternatives! Just be smart about it. ;) So just patiently wait for a sunny day this season and be sure to wear the right clothes! :)
