“I was turning heads with my eye-catching red wraparound skirt but with the current heat index of Cebu which screams summer, I toned my outfit down with a white lace romper worn as a top with floral patterns, and finished the entire outfit with a comfy mule. Comfort is now my priority in choosing my outfits. I usually follow trends but changed it to suit my lifestyle as a busy mom.”

Check out Sweet’s style tips:

■ Always collect different sets of blazers, kimono and long cardigans since you can just throw them over a dress, a shirt or a sexy top with pants without even worrying that you are repeating an outfit or style. Also for moms like me, it hides your arms and mommy tummy.

■ When running around with work or with your kids, the best outfit staple that goes along with anything are flats. You don’t have to worry about looking short when taking a photo, since you can always tiptoe while you take your OOTD shots.

■ When you decide to go bold with your accessories, make sure to make your outfit simple yet classy so that you won’t be screaming for too much attention.

■ When picking a pair of pants, make sure to pick a cut or style that is flattering for your body type. There is no shame in not following trends. It’s always better to go with comfort in choosing your outfits.

■ Dresses are the best option this coming summer. They are easy and comfortable to wear. Go with light material with floral patterns. If you want to hit the beach, you can never go wrong with a maxi dress and finish it off with a cute tropical hat or a native bag.
