Wearing My Cheap Finds

Those who have read my other more active blog know that I went to Manila and Palawan weeks ago. Those were the times I was able to wear the cheap clothes I bought at the Gaisano Mall of Davao. As much as I had a great time on my vacation especially in El Nido, I also had a great time wearing these cheap clothes.

Here are some of the photos of me donning these cheap yet stylish clothes.

Cheap Printed Dress From Gaisano Mall of Davao

For always mentioning Gaisano Mall of Davao, I think I am now the unofficial endorser of the said mall. Heck, unofficial and unpaid.

Anyway last Monday I also bought a printed dress. Here it is..

Printed Black and White Dress

Regular Price : 375.00 Php

Where: Ladies Department , Gaisano Mall of Davao, JP Laurel Ave., Bajada, Davao City

I know it takes a really slim body to rock this bodycon. Surprisingly it fits me nicely or so I think..Just wait to see me wearing this dress soon. There’s no occasion to wear it in Davao for now so I just have to wait for some appropriate time.

It can be worn with a black tights and heels for a glam evening look. Or pair it with a cardigan and low-heeled  shoes for a casual sexy look.  

Cheap Printed Tunic Top From Gaisano Mall of Davao

Gaisano Mall of Davao is my haven for cheap clothes. There are gazillions of unique t-shirts, dresses, pants and many more. All you have to do is to patiently dig up those bundles of items to search for your item of choice. Yesterday I went there to find some unique tops for our incoming vacation and as usual I did find one. Here it is.

Printed Tunic Top

Regular Price : 155.00 Php

Where: Ladies Department,  Gaisano Mall of Davao, JP Laurel Ave., Bajada, Davao City

It is a bohomenian tunic top which can be matched with a black leggings or dark skinny jeans.

For that affordable price, I think it is a steal.
