I never.

I was never the bohemian kind of girl. Of course I wanted to be one. I always imagined hot bohemian chicks with long and loose limbs and that nonchalant vibe that screams i-spent-five-minutes-getting-ready-and-i’m-just-naturally-this-god-damned-hot. There was a phase in my life when I stopped brushing my hair in hopes that it would form natural waves (which did not happen), so I had to get it done at the salon. I also bought all sorts of loose,  layered clothes and scarves, but at that time, I was studying at Ateneo (otherwise known as the sun), so that didn’t really work out for me. And then I decided to just give up. I realized it was wrong to try and fit my personal style on an existing one. Especially when that trend is bohemian, and you’re a short asian chick.

But now, I decided to give it another go. How could I not when I found out we were shooting at nature’s epicenter, UP Diliman? I still felt very awkward and out of it, but it was a fun change. And I got to wear my favorite platforms, which definitely helped. So, I was a quirky little Asian Bohemian child. Weird and totally fun. Thanks to Ira for the photos! (Can you believe we shot this at 6pm?)
