Dear Leyn,
We are having our moot court competition this month. We are advised to wear formal dresses during sessions. So I’m having a problem of what clothes to choose without being so standardized. I don’t want my clothes to appear so boring pero ayoko din naman magmukhang casual. As I assess my professor, I think she wouldn’t be so strict of the clothes as long as it will remain appropriate in the event.
I am planning to go to some ukay stores to find some clothes. But I think thrifting would be easy if I already have some styles in mind. Para alam ko na hahanapin ko from shoes, to bags, to skirts. I am 5′1″, skinny and morena. I also have some problems regarding my being so skinny because I almost lost my butt. Alam mo na in my case that’s the danger of being so skinny.
Lastly, at last na last na talaga… yung event nga pala will be held at a resort and for sure we would be given some time to go to the beach. Ang problema ko I have some scars brought by childhood. Di naman ako pwedeng magpants dun.haha.. Ano ba ang maiaadvise mo sakin?
Good luck sa blog mo! Thanks! Mwah.

Dear Sassy Girl,
I hope the competition has not yet happened but I’d still offer some suggestions for your concern. If you feel that being skinny is an issue, then pass up the usual trousers or jeans so your figure won’t look “flat”. Wear something like, an oversized dress/blouse then match it with a pair of leggings. Make sure your top is hip length to cover up your butt part. This outfit will give sophistication and contour to your figure. To complement your skin tone, pick clothes with neutral shades of gray, beige or cream.
