Many older Filipino women wear what is called a "duster". Psst, in the states we call them "muumuus". Dusters are long, shapeless, extremely colorful and pattern driven dresses to be worn in the house. Normally, I wouldn't be head over heels for these zany things but they are so vibrant and fun I can't help but wear them. Plus many of them are so crazy with patterns and loud colors that dusters kinda go with everything.
You know when something is so extreme that it goes with nothing and then seemingly everything at the same time? I love it.
These dusters are sold literally all over the country - you can get them virtually anywhere. And what's more, they're super cheap. So I bought 6. Its somewhat unusual for a girl of my age to be wearing them as I said before, dusters are really only seen on older women and house wear no less - but who cares? I'm not Filipino, I'm American so I'm oblivious to blasting the stereotype and shaking up the system. Remember the atrocity with Urban Outfitters and Forever21 using navajo prints on undies and flasks? Too far, too far I know but you know what I mean. I digress....
Anyway, I usually delight in shapeless wear (I live, eat and breath "drape") but these days, I have been getting a bit leaner so I thought it would be fun to hike up my hem and show my legs. Yeah baby.

The Duster
I hid the extra material under my thick leather Zara belt to turn my long duster into a fun Summer dress.
Disappointed you couldn't see the real thing in its vibrant entirety? Don't worry I'll be showing you just how awesome and man-repelling this house dress can really be! Let's just say you shouldn't wear it if you share a bed with someone.
Wait - no! Wear it and blow his mind!
Have a great week!
