Cold Shoulder

I have lived in a tropical country my whole life, but I don't think I'll ever get used to the blazing summer heat. But it's been starting to rain lately, hasn't it? Personally though, I'm not sure whether I prefer that or not. Either way, I'm totally loving the off-shoulder/ cold shoulder trend.

With the now erratic weather, wearing something "balanced" is just perfect, just like my top from New Dress. It shows off the clavicles-- which, let's face it, is one of the season's biggest trends-- but also keeps the arms slightly warm with its long lace-trimmed sleeves. The only downside is the fabric's a little too thin, so you'll have to be careful of what you wear underneath. I chose had no choice but to wear a black bandeau inside because it was the next decent undergarment that I had with me.

Note: I didn't wear this in the Philippines but rather in the United States, when we went there last year. I'd say summer there is a bit more pleasant because of the cool breeze in the midst of the scorching sun. That's exactly why my off-shoulder top is the perfect top for such a day in Michigan.
