Cheap and Cheerful for P2000

If you do the usual rounds of popular blogs, you'll see pretty bloggers all made up in expensive signature clothes. Nothing wrong in that. Why not right if you can afford it... or if you're famous enough that you get everything for free!

And there are those who can only afford department store, tiangge or thrift clothes. I'm one of those. Occasionally I get lucky and my mom or aunts would buy me designer shoes and bags. Clothes I prefer buying cheap and cheerful ones either online or in Divisoria.

The whole look is less than P2000. I don't remember how much each item is but the bag is the most expensive at P650.

Every girl would love to splurge on clothes and shoes... but not so expensive clothes can look fashionable too if put together well.

Clutch: ZALORA + ALT MANILA

I'm a bit envious of those fashionable people who can carry a clutch bag so effortlessly. And also carry so little stuff in their bags. I'm always in bohos, totes or any big bag. Can't seem to edit things I really need all the time.

While at the Rockwell Bazaar I saw this fold over clutch from ALT Manila. It's quite affordable at P650. I left the bazaar without buying the clutch but "liked" them on FB in case I change my mind.

Well, I did change my mind and bought them eventually. It was while surfing for new stuff at Zalora.ph that I saw them again. Zalora makes online shopping sooooo easy and decided to get it there.

The clutch can also be used as a laptop or iPad sleeve. Still deciding if I should get the other colors...
