Somewhere in Glorrietta 3, there is a fashion wonderland where there’s always a sale. A paradise where Vivienne Tam, Poleci, Theory and many more boutique brands are slashed up to a fantastic 60 percent off! Rummaging through the merchandise at the MIX discount store is a perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Although the pieces that the store carries are from some seasons ago, time stops for style, as any true fashion maven will attest. Trendy pieces of yore are given new life.
Playing around at MIX makes you into a fashion Michelangelo. The peasant shirt becomes a beach cover-up. The embroidered pants are paired with army-style tops to create an unabashedly feminine utilitarian look. Brights from the punk era are amplified to pay homage to the disco era. Oriental-inspired pieces are worn ironically with all-American khakis to give them some spice. Lacy tops from the boho era, paired with pearls and a silky skirt, make an instant cocktail hit. Changing your clothes’ personalities is all about pairing them with other key pieces of the season. And of course, there are those timeless classics that a gems anytime of the year.
My finds in one afternoon at MIX discount resulted in a wardrobe that will last season after season. Here’s a toast to time-proof clothing!
