Modernized Vintage

 I’ve read from a magazine that one way to look taller is to wear the same color or similar shades top to toe. Well, I am not insecure anymore of my height and I don’t get offended when people call me short. Yes, I am. What’s the big deal? So now people are judged according to their height? Why? Where do you think should we put our brain? In our legs? Come on!

All my life, people let me feel insecure about my height. When falling in line on grade school days, my classmates would push me to the front. During high school, someone told me I don’t look good with the guy I fell in love with because he was tall and I was too short. It hurt me and increased my level of insecurity. Sometimes I would blame my parents for not letting me drink vitamins when I was a child. It could’ve helped me grow taller.

In my despair, I researched about how to grow taller or even just how to look tall since it’s more realistic for me. I then started wearing shoes with heels. I got so addicted to it. I bought a new pair almost every week. But when one of my officemates told me she wants to be as petite as me, I was like, “Wow! You are the very first person to appreciate my height!”, and that’s when all my insecurity instantly gone away. Now, I’m hoarding flat shoes.

Okay, I’m overtalking again. It’s been a while since I’ve last posted a Sunday OOTD. Been too busy lately.


I can’t remember where I got my top. One thing is for sure. It’s from a thrift shop. I like how the neck line is so unique.


As usual, the skirt is from a thrift shop, too. You don’t usually see me in long skirts, so to avoid shocking you, I kinda made a twist on one side.

 Bag | Kimbel at P600
Got in on sale. I have always wanted a white bag. I’m not quite happy with the quality of this one though.

 I forgot where I got my wedge open shoes. It’s around P600, I guess.

What I’m trying to achieve in this OOTD is a touch of modern in vintage pieces. How would you rate this style?
