Outfit of the Day OOTD + nail polish

Note: I took these photos myself, so I'm sorry if they're crappy. Also, I excluded accessories because I wore this to school, and I don't think wearing much accessories to school is practical (writing a lot, etc) and I have to wear an ID so yes. Let's get this thing started. ;)

 Blurry pics + no photo of full outfit. Can it get any worse? Anyways, this is pretty much the top and the bottom that I wore.

Yellow cardigan - thrift store

Plain white tank - July

High-waist floral skirt - online shop

large button details

cardi length *back view

The cardigan had long sleeves but I opted to fold it up in three-fourths length.

The skirt runs to about 2-3 inches above my knees so it's a comfortable length. And it's perfect for my school since they don't allow anything above 3 inches. What I like most about this skirt is its pattern. I love the color and the pattern makes it stand out. That's why even if my top is all plain, this outfit is not so boring.

For the shoes, I decided not to take a photo of mine since they're not quite "photo-ready" from the rain earlier today. So here are some photos that I found online that are similar to what I wore.

I decided to wear nude flats since going up four floors via stairs in school doesn't exactly spell friendly to your feet if you wear pumps. I wore something similar to the Steve Madden one above.

Plain nude flats - Steve Madden
Nude flats with pinky-beige cotton binding - moodbyme.comPeep toe Mary Jane flats - Bertie Mattia

If flats are so not you, pumps are the way to go. Personally, I would wear the Mary Jane ones so the already-plain-colored shoes would have a twist. Also, nude pumps/heels are a good investment for your wardrobe because they tend to make legs look longer and they match with just about anything.

And now, before I forget, my nail polish color for the week.











This is called Goddess by Caronia.
This week, I went outside my comfort zone of regular nail polish. As you can see, this is a frosted color. I usually stay away from frosted nail polish because I think it wouldn't match my personality, but when I saw this, I was in love. The gorgeous shade of green had me buying it with no second thoughts.





I've had this nail polish for quite a while now but only put this on again yesterday. To achieve the color as seen in the bottle, 3-4 coats are needed. I don't know if it's the nail polish consistency or because I've had it for a while, that the color doesn't show as intended. For my nails, I had 5-6 coats because I wanted a deeper shade.



Okay, so that's it for my outfit and nail polish post for this week. Stay tuned for the next one! I'm not sure if I'll do a weekly outfit post, but I'll definitely do a weekly nail polish post since I change nail polish color once or twice a week. Also, watch out for my holiday gifts blog post this weekend. Enjoy the rest of the week, everyone! ;)

I got my hair cut!

After a year and a month, I finally had my hair cut!

Don't get me wrong. I liked having my hair long, because it allowed me to do loads of hairstyles and it looked nice, yeah. It also made my hair look more or less like its originally-straight self (prior the treatments and pollution and stuff). But, it became heavier (since I have thick hair) and I was spending more time attending to my hair daily, which annoyed me.

At Starbucks, Ayala Cebu. Frizz from all day.  T-T

So yes, last Friday, I was pissed just because, and to de-stress, le bf accompanied me to McDo and to Annie's, Ayala Cebu to have my hair cut. It's not usually where I go to have my hair done (I usually have it in David's Salon, Country Mall) but at that time, I was looking for somewhere new and with less people/customers.

Outside, they had a price list of all their services, and I was surprised that their haircut only cost a hundred pesos. I was hesitant because of that (my haircuts usually cost around a hundred forty or so), but I was desperate so I went in.

When they say haircut, it's haircut they mean. They don't have all the shampooing most salons do before they cut hair. I was just made to sit in a chair, and the woman sprayed water to my hair and off it went.

I told the woman to cut it really short (I specified the length!) and told her not to touch my bangs. To my dismay, she didn't cut it short enough and she cut my bangs (!). Now, my hair is weird (I'm planning to have it cut again, but shorter), and my bangs are usually in my eye. T_T

There's not much difference, but 5-6 inches was cut off it. And the actual bangs she cut is shown in the second photo below. I just had it swept on the other side in the first photo since, as you can see, I am unhappy about it. Sometimes, I pin it up (last photo) but still, the very short strands fall into my eye. T_T

I was driving. Forgive the face. *_*

Actual cut bangs

creepy face @_@

So that's it for my hair update. You see I'm disappointed about the "layers" and the bangs, but hey at least I got my hair cut. Haha. I really don't know what positive thing I can think of. Anyways, next post will be about gifts from the holidays.

*Yay for weekly posts! ^_^

HAPPY WEEKEND, EVERYONE! ;*

Blog FAQs

Heyo, everyone! :)

Why chimichon?
I have a friend who suddenly called me different versions of my name, thus Chimi. Well yeah, Chimi - Demi and Chon - Dawn.

Why Blogger?
I've had a Blogger account/blogs since like forever. This one's new though since I just decided this year to commit to blogging and I needed a blog which didn't already have really personal posts.

Who inspired you to blog?
My blogs have just been some sort of online diary for me, until recently that I came about Zoella in YouTube, read her blog, and decided to give this a try. I'm also inspired by other Youtubers who do vlogs (JennaMarbles, Bubzbeauty, Erin, Zoella, Beckie0, Meredith, Alfie, among many amazing others). And since I'm not that confident yet, I'll stick to blogging this time. :)

Header, background, template?
Header: Those were just random webcam photos that I put together via PicMonkey.
Background: Shot taken by a friend, Banawe Corvera, earlier this month. ^_^
Template: Travel template provided by Blogger (see footer). I just played around with the fonts and colors. :D

What camera do you use?
I use my mum's old Sony W510 (in silver).
