While I do share Senator Miriam's sentiments on who should get the limelight on SONA, part of the reason why I watch it is to see how our officials & their family wore our Filipiniana.   

Modern Filipiniana Inspiration

I'm planning for a modern filipiniana inspired-look for a costume party in the office. Instead of the usual terno or baro't saya , I'm hoping to put an edgy contemporary twist into it.    

Tingnan natin hanggang saan kayanin ng fashion-fasyonan powers ko! ;-)
