I learned that in sex, once you do something…

YOU HAVE TO KEEP ON DOING IT.

As I was trying to beat the clock in order to catch the critically acclaimed Love, Loss, and What I Wore, I was not able to fish for a cute ensemble to wear to the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium. I just chose my default outfit for moments like these– jetblack pants I got from Divi, a GH-bought white sleeveless top with turquoise flowers that showed off my (really) nice shoulders, and white/gold sandals purchased from BF’s Good Shepherd Bazaar. My inexpensive get-up never fails to make me feel good no matter what situation I am in. I didn’t get to show off my shoulders though because it was cold and I had to put on my charcoal black Julia cardigan.

Fine. I made an effort to describe what I wore because that’s what the play was all about. :p Love, Loss and What I Wore is about women talking about their clothes and the experiences they remember while they were in those clothes– lives told in style and with style. It was a pretty girly production that can entertain both women and men. My seatmates were mostly males and I think they even laughed more than I did. However, I have no idea if those men also got to take in the poignant moments of the stories delivered. 

The show most certainly made me laugh, feel butterflies, remember things I didn’t want to remember, hope, and get a bit teary-eyed.
