Winter Feels

I

I really miss blogging. I miss those days where fashion and blog are the only things inside my mind. Now, I really have to manage my time as my flight is fast approaching, and there are still procedures I need to finish.

And thanks God, I finally have a time to stay in a quiet place where I can compose a new outfit post. How to start? My goodness, I almost forgot. (Sigh). Umm, maybe, it's good to start with a fact.

Philippines is a tropical country, wherein Wet & Dry is the only season, unlike other countries, they have Autumn/Fall, Spring, Summer, Winter (Not in order). Filipinos, or any other tropical countries, only have two types of clothes in the closets - Sweater Weather & Summer Apparel. No matter how I want to wear scarfs, knitted, long coats, high socks and sky-high boots and also layering, I couldn't because the weather prevents me to do so. I know, I can do it, if I want too, but it's so unappropriate and uncomfortable, considering such factors.

But you know what? Just last week, I went to Baguio City to process my papers and to attend seminars. For the sake of those who are not familiar to Baguio City, it is one of the most popular cities in the Philippines, and it is actually located at CAR. It is known to be the "City of Pines" or "Summer Capital of the Philippines" because of their awesome weather. The fact that it is in the upland, their temperature is a little bit lower or colder compared to other places or provinces of the Philippines. I can't deny the truth that I fell in love with Baguio. Last week was not my first time in Baguio, I've been there for so many times, but my love for this place is like "First Love," it never dies.

Aside from their weather, what I love most is that I can play another stage of "Mix & Match" game. Yes, I can do layering, I can wear winter clothes and shoes thou they don't have snow rain, just a perfect sweater-weather. So, here's me wearing an ox red chain-knit scarf which definitely matches with my scallop skater skirt. Isn't it? And of course, black will never be absent in a cold weather. I just love my oversize black knitted pullover and so with my knee-high knitted socks. I'm so comfortable with them, the weather was not a hindrance to my errands that day. I never felt the coldness around me. By the way, meet my new chunky, I bought it in one thrift shop in Baguio, t'was actually as good as knew and you can't believe how much I scored it -- only Php300. :D By the way, I forgot to tell you that Baguio is surrounded by thrift stores, wherever you look, you can see some thrift stores, they even have this so called "Night Market," starts at 9 in the evening to 12 midnight along the street, wherein clothes, shoes, bag and everything you need for is all on sale, and price starts at 10 pesos, seriously, 10 pesos that looks as good as new, and there are also brandnew items. That's how fun Baguio is. 

Thank you for reading. I hope I gave you an idea what to wear next time you visit Baguio City. And for those you haven't visited Baguio yet, I strongly suggest that you should go there. The weather is perfect, a place for thrifters, and definitely for nature lovers. :)))) Don't forget to tag your Baguio OOTD on my Instagram Account ( http://instagram.com/jamaicafelichi ).
