A Rose By Any Name

I am all about situational dressing. I personally think that it is absolutely vital to know what to where depending on the occasion and the occasion I wore this outfit to called for flats, as a must and while I do prefer heels, I didn't want to be inappropriate so since the situation called for it, I wore flat shoes instead. The event I wore this ensemble to was the Cocorose Launch here in Manila where my FOSSIL Dominique was a muse and as you all know, I am very supportive and so, I made sure to support her all the way in this outfit and in flat shoes which I wore for the whole day...(I know, shocker, right?)  At the end of the day though, I was happy I chose to go and dress up this route as everyone was in flats and it was a strictly flats only event. I would've been totally out of place in my sky-highs so as much as I love my stilettos, it was only appropriate to leave them in my shoes closet, for that day at least.

Anyway, what brand launch would make me trade in my 6-inchers and leave me with my feet steady on the ground?--- You might ask. Well, it is none other than the Cocorose Special Viewing Party which I attended as Dominique was one of the chose and much-deserving muses of the brand. If you do not know, allow me to give you a background:

PS: Aside from that, as a former ballerina, I was so happy to find out that the brand is the official shoe of England's Royal Ballet and the shoes I bought, were just so amazing... I love it so much and cannot wait to wear the pair! So stay tuned for that!
