Growing up in a small town, I have always wondered how it was to live in a big city. Yes, I was that small-town girl with big dreams! But I never got the chance to until I reached the ripe age of 27 (carefully worded to make me sound mature *wink*), that was when I was literally uprooted from my home for a job opportunity that I could not say no to.

I remember asking my dad twice to let me study in my country’s capital (that’s Manila, Philippines) and twice I was denied. He thought I was too soft, too fragile.

Yet here I am many moons forward, ricocheting through the hustle and bustle of city life, braving the sometimes shady streets of the South where I’d like to think everything is possible (being mugged included haha). My dad is one proud papa. 🙂

Back then, city to me equaled suits and ties. It still does except now I factor in the scorching heat of the sun (spell 90 degrees) and the salty breeze hence the inspiration for today’s outfit. A mixture of ultra modern and corporate in fresh pastels and light fabrics.

RN by night, urban chick by day. 😉 Not every girl could live in 2 different sleep patterns and morph between 2 lives. I am blessed.

It is only forward from here.
