#LOVEYOURSUMMERSTYLE: 10 YEARS OF SUMMER STYLE EVOLUTION WITH THE SM STORE
I’ve been blogging for close to a decade now (pls don’t do the math haha).
Yup, if your patient enough, you’ll find a ton of blackmail photos hidden in there somewhere.
But the upside of me documenting everything is being able to look back and see just how much my style has evolved. I never realized how much fun it would be to compile a decade’s worth of summer ootd’s until I actually did it!
Read on to see how I’ve transitioned from 2007’s extreme boho with low-rise denim and lace to 2017’s more refined interpretation + everything in between.

Looking back at my fashion choices made me aware of how much I’ve changed and not (?!)
Join me as I take you back to my pre and present Fashion Eggplant years!
SOME REALIZATIONS:
- I have never and will never ever probably lean towards form-fitting clothes (no bodycon dresses for this one! haha, can't breathe!)
- I’ve never really gotten over boho
- I LOVE black and white
- my style philosophy is probably to just inject a trend and marry it with something classic and timeless. (Yes, I only realized that now after looking at so many of my old pictures!)
And lastly, how much I rely on The SM Store to fill my closet with all the latest trends, season after season, year after year.

Their inventory just keeps on improving!
Back in 2007 when I was younger and my budget for clothes was smaller, my first stop for summer shopping would be the SM Store. Wether I was looking for a cool pair of shorts with unique details, cute babydoll tops, or vintage looking lace dresses, they always seemed to have what I needed and it always cost less than P1000.
See lace top above? If I remember right, I got it for around P400 only.

+ walk to the left for accessories, walk to the right for shoes.
It's always a fun one stop shop hassle free experience for me during each visit. I can spend an entire day in there just putting together whole outfits.
Those mini shopping carts are a saving grace!

I never leave feeling bad or guilty cause I spend very little and yet I get to go home with so much! :P
I just really really enjoy shopping there, it's like a grocery store for all things fashion!

So much so that to this day, even if my current fashion budget allows me to splurge a little more, I still choose to shop at The SM Store. I can't resist a quick stop each time I'm in the area.
(I'm always thinking what if they have something new!?! haha)
And they do!
After a quick web search on trends, I pop in and grab a key piece.
Especially when I need to dress to impress for fashion week or similar events...you know when you need to make retail pass off as couture...
A long time personal favorite of mine is this dragon embroidered coordinate that I wore to PHFW:
HOW ABOUT YOU?

A few weeks ago, I decided it was time for another visit. I made a quick list of what I needed to update my wardrobe for the season after a pinterest check on the hottest looks this year.
ON MY LIST WERE:
- Frayed/Tassel Hem Denims
- Bell Sleeves
- Head to Toe Lace/Floral
- 70's rehash that's still super hot
- Shirt dresses
