A Lazy Afternoon

Call it love at first sight. Ever since my eyes fell on the leopard print, I was immediately drawn to it. It awakened the animal instinct inside of me. It comes with such a strong vibe which I can very much relate with. Despite that, I have never really mustered enough courage to don a head-to-toe leopard print ensemble for very obvious reasons. First is that I might be mistaken for the actual leopard itself and second would be that it can come off as too matronal - something I am not going for as a look at this time of my life. I have to admit it would look good on a model in a magazine page of a fashion mag or maybe a campaign ad of Louis Vuitton or Christian Dior, but definitely not on me - now. I am not putting a period after the "me" because fashion has no boundaries. Who knows I might change my mind tomorrow? Moving on, here is how I unleashed the leopard in me in the middle of nowhere.









I would like to say that these nude flatforms were a gift sent by God to me.  It's a long story and to cut it short, I knew these shoes were meant for me after I had to return a dress I bought from Zara due to a very unfortunate reason.(I would not discuss it  here now since it's not really the point of this post.) I was already keeping my eyes open for any signs of the flatform shoe around town because I know it's relatively new and the Philippines is not really that updated when it comes to the latest trends globally speaking. With that said, I saw these lovely pair and I knew I just had to have them. I didn't get them the first time I saw them though. I was trying to persuade myself that I didn't need them badly and that I should wait for it to be available in other cheaper stores but then again, these shoes won and found their way to my feet.
