Utilitarianism is in. What is great about this trend if that it adds a subtle manly appeal to an ensemble. It reminds me of the time when Elizabeth Smith Miller wore pants--the first woman to wear it. In my previous entry, I mentioned that I love boots and booties. I wear them even during summer--no, not the knee-high ones, I am still in my sanity. But, why not? I remember Levi's ad in the Philippines that said: Which is better, a bikini in winter or a denim jacket in summer? Jacket in summer! So guys, welcome to another edition of the Splurge, Save and Steal:
