Green Is In In 2015

There are about 73 different shades of green, and all its varieties in the technical sense. To name a few, acid green, android green, army green, asparagus, blue-green, bright green, british racing green, pomona green, camouflage green, caribbean amber, chartreuse citrine, cyan, dartmouth green, electric green, emerald, fern green, forest green, gray-asparagus green, islam green-yellow, harlequin, honeydew, hunter green, India green, Islamic green, jade, jungle green, kelly green, lime, lincoln green, midnight green, moss green, office green, olive, Paris green, pear, Persian green, phthalocyanine green, pine green, rifle green, Sacramento State green, sap green, sea green, shamrock green, spring green, tea green, teal Turquoise, UP Forest green,  verdigris, viridian, yellow-green,

Admittedly though, green isn't my favorite color. I've only appreciated this green because it's my youngest son's favorite color. 

Last year, when I attended Master Hanz event on Feng Shui for 2015 year of sheep, he mentioned that Green is in in 2015, meaning it is the lucky color for the year. He also mentioned that people born under the Ox sign isn't so lucky this year. Since I'm an Ox baby, Master Hanz suggested that I wear green in all its glory to battle the negative effect that my sign carries this Year of the Sheep.

Master Hanz and other Feng Shui experts always remind people that Feng Shui is not a religion, it is just a guide. Eventually it is still our actions and perseverance that will determine our success or failure. 

At sa aking paniniwala, wala naman mawawala if susundin ko ang feng shui guide. Kaya dali-dali kong hinalungkat ang mahiwagang baul upang halughugin at hanapin ang mga luntian na damit na para sa akin.  I'm all serious about wearing the different shades of green, be it  pang-alis, pambahay, pantulog at pang ligo.

PRINTS WITH A TOUCH OF GREEN

This dress was given to me by my daughter a few years back. I've worn this dress just four times.

The fourth is for this shoot.

This is a reversible beach dress I bought for summer.

Unfortunately, we haven't been to a beach of late (tag-ulan na!)

I bought this last year but I don't know when and where to wear it. 

 Maganda naman pala sya!

This is a pambahay top. My daughter said I look slim when I wear it, so next time 

pwede ng gamitin sa event!

NESVITA'S 10 MOST BEAUTIFUL

The cardigan was given by Nesvita last 2009 for the winners' photoshoot.

I bought this dress before joining Nesvita's 10 Most Beautiful Contest

PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE

Lani and I  met at our respective daughter's school when we joined Queen and Princess. We then became close. She likes People Are People brand, I eventually liked the brand as well.

HOTEL BOUND

I like both shirt dress but I only get to wear them when we are hotel bound. I just find them too short, plus the fabric (wool) is too hot for Metro Manila temperature.

DISTRESSED JEANS

Nora is the reason why I'm addicted to distressed jeans.
I'll wear anything green on the top, and I'm good to go anytime, anywhere!

BECAUSE...

Wearing this top makes me feel big but because it's Banana Republic that I bought in one of my travels, I can't let go.

I've worn this top just twice. First time was 3 years ago, and the second time is for this photoshoot. It still occupies a place in my closet because it was given by my younger brother, Jubert, as pasalubong from his trip in Thailand. It's actually a nice top, I just haven't found the perfect pair.

ACCESSORIES

Thanks to my sis-in-law, Tita Gaye, for my earrings and bracelet!

My everyday Kipling bag!
