This may be one of the best and happiest shoots I've ever had, and this will also probably my favorite beach get-up.
Day two at Terrazas was mostly swimming and exploring the craggly rocks along the shore of Nasugbu. We collected plenty of shells and sand dollars, but unfortunately, we could no longer swim as the waves were too humungous and the current too strong.
For this particularly exciting day, I decided to wear something fit for adventure yet never out of style.
Meet my all around white button-down. This long-sleeved fellow goes well with almost anything, and believe it or not, we've had plenty of moments together—Valentine's Day, first day of school, my class performance of "On My Own", a photo shoot for a council election and many, many more—which is why a white button-down is an essential article of clothing you need in your wardrobe. It's a staple item that's perfect for both chill, casual days and formal, uptight events. It also suits anyone no matter what body shape or skin tone they have. They also range from cheap to expensive and aren't very difficult to find. You can even hunt in your father's closet and scavenge for loose-fitting button-downs among his piles of polos and slacks. A little bit of alteration can fix it if it's too big, but otherwise, this flexible piece of clothing is definitely a must-have!
My trusty button-down meets my new denim cut-offs which are oh-so-perfect for the summer season. They provide your legs enough air to explore and walk around and also happen to be the in-thing with today's generation. (Yep, hello, hipster kids!) Aside from being trendy, these shorts are also convenient and goes with almost anything like the button-down. Again, another staple item in your closet. However, if you're the conservative kind, boyfriend shorts would definitely suit you as they are longer in length and still as stylish as super short cut-offs.
For my footwear, I chose comfortable, gold-detailed sandals because they're easy to carry in case I want to take them off and feel the waves crash against my feet and because they go well for a breezy summer get-up.
The trick with this look is a little layering that allows you not only to be fashionably comfortble but also beautifully convenient. Underneath that cover up could be a sexy swimsuit, and it wouldn't be much of a hassle for you to change clothes when you finally want to take a dip.
As for my accessories, I chose to go plain and simple. My hat from before worked its magic again and kept my windblown hair in place for me, and my new classic aviator Alex Turner shades was a perfect summer companion.
A little tip on picking sunnies:
Consider your face shape. I have a round face, so angular-shaped sunglasses suit me better. I can't wear glasses/specs which are too small for my face because they look unflattering and would only make my face appear too big for them. Also, I like picking neutral shades and metal details as they match almost any outfit.
