OOTD: Black Beauty

Hiya, guys!

So last Monday I attended the Christmas party of our school, and as with last year, it's another opportunity to primp up and dress our best. Which is a yay for me because it's been a loooooooonnnnggggg time since I dressed up for an occasion. And I miss dressing up...

Problem is, I don't have anything to wear for the occasion. I mean, I wanted something nice and suited for the event but at the same time something that would not call for too much attention, if you know what I mean.

What did I wear for the Christmas party then? Click 'Read More' to find out.

Then I remembered this slinky black dress that I bought years back. I bought it from a friend who was selling some factory overruns, and this dress happens to be on her 'pile' of clothes for sale. The first time I fitted this dress on, I fell in love with it -- it's in my size, the fabric is structured but stretchy to accomodate my growing figure, it nips and tucks in all the right places, and I feel sexy in it. The best part? It only costs Php300! #steal

I tried it on again the day before the party, and IT. STILL. FITS. *cue Hallelujah tune*

Werk it gerl!

But hold on there! I had some issues -- the collar is too low (hello cleavage!), the sleeves are too short and my belly is showing a bit too much.

Good thing I found some fixes -- a black tank top to cover up my cleavage and a high-waist body shaper to hold my tummy in. As for the arms, I just let it be. I'm not exactly in the mood to cover up my arms that night.

Throw in some black pumps and my trusty silver watch...

Result? An #OOTD that's near perfection!

So that's it for my OOTD post, I hope you enjoyed it. I'm planning to do a separate post on the makeup look that I did for this event, 'cause it's a special one -- I'll explain on that post why it's that. I can't decide what kind of post it will be, though -- if it will be an FOTD or a tutorial. Anyway, please watch out for that!
