JEANIOUS *

I am not a jeans person. Period. I'd rather wear skirts, shorts or trousers. Some people live in jeans every single day. They have a countless number of this closet staple. Yes, I do have jeans but not my favorite piece. I know how versatile this piece is. It can dress down anything. It's the only thing you can wear with everything on most occasions.

Tonight my denim jeans saved me from a fashion emergency. My nephew had to be rushed to the hospital because he fell from our neigbor's couch. His head had a minor cut but it was bleeding profusely. I had no time to think of an outfit since it was an emergency. I was already wearing my sleepwear so I grabbed my jacket, a pair of jeans and flipflops. (Believe me! I was in a rush I forgot to put on a shirt under my jacket so I had to zip it all the way up).

You're always good-to-go with jeans. You can be in a hurry and still look fab with the right jeans. No wonder it's one of your safest options, just pair it with a shirt and you're set. This shirt+jeans is the classic Pinoy uniform.

In an emergency like this, when you have to go, you have to go. No time for wardrobe choices.
