My kind of basic black

7:45 PM

According to style experts, every woman should have a "little black dress" as a closet staple. I don't disagree with that. In fact, that is totally right. If I would have to show you my closet (which is something I won't do for this post), you'd find that I personally own a lot of basic blacks - top, skirt, blazer, vest, pants, shorts, cardigan, and the list goes on. Name it, and I probably have it in black.

Since I've started living the fashionista life, I have come to realize that one of my most essential blacks in the closet is my BBST - basic black sequined top. I swear, you really should have one, or even two in your closet! It gives that "pow!" to any look.

If you frequent my blog for quite a long time now, you'd notice how my black sequined top has consistently reappeared on numerous outfits. I couldn't quite remember how many times exactly I've worn this item but until now, it still seems to be in very good condition, with all the sequins still intact. It has been serving its purpose well and you won't be seeing it in my closet sale anytime soon, haha. Just to remind you, I've worn this when I hosted Bloggers United Bazaar (Part 1) and during the Globe Tattoo Awards (to name some).

Usually, most girls would probably never wear this item ever again to any other special occasion. But since I'm not like most women, I don't really care. Not even how many times I'd get photographed in it.

Wait, do you remember what I said about repeating outfits? Just NEVER MIND! And because I don't give a damn, I wore it again to another hosting job last week. My mind was in a cloud of doubt on what to wear, and so, I went for something safe with this top, black midi skirt, Payless printed shoes and made sure accents of gold are consistent in my head-to-toe look.

Once again, my BBST never failed me. I was pretty confident while I hosted the media launch of 3D Vizion, which featured technology, lifestyle and business bloggers. Yeah, it was really not my crowd. However, it was refreshing to meet new people who write about something else other than fashion.

In my next post, I'll tell you more about 3D Vizion and its latest glasses-free 3D screens. Meaning, you don't have to wear glasses just to be able to see a video material in 3D. The images basically appear to pop up on screen. Amazing. But because I'm not the best person to write about technology, my boyfriend JR will do a guest blog again! Excited to see what he has come up with. Ciao bellas!
