Style Sighting: Alma’s Shabby Chic Outfit

Alma Buenviaje | Style Manila, Manila Fashion Blog

I attended a dinner hosted by GeiserMaclang at the Yurakuen Japanese Restaurant sampling Japan’s Exquisite Grilled Masterpiece, Yakinuku, at Diamond Hotel. Apart from the very unique dining experience, I was fortunate to spot Alma Buenviaje and her shabby chic outfit. However, you guys just might not even agree that it’s even shabby at all!

It’s true that you can actually look fashionable for less. No need to wear designer clothes to be stylish. Alma’s outfit is very trendy since it played around grays, patents and metallics. It’s great to create a unified theme for outfits you wear and just add a hint of texture like a little shimmer, a dash of accessory or a bit of wrinkled effect on certain items; a good example is her jacket.

    I actually agree that there are a lot of great finds in those stores and if you want to go for cheaper prices there is always a Baclaran and Divisoria around the corner. :)
