the tropical sweater

Even if I live in tropical Manila, I tend to wear a lot of knits. You see, people rarely walk on the street here, and the a/c in schools, offices and business establishments is usually jacked-up to jacket weather, so I'm not exactly sweating in my err, sweaters.  

This barney-purple sweater from H&M, though 100% merino wool, is surprisingly not too warm for Manila.

Zara hat, H&M sweater, tailor-made gray denim shorts, Margiela necklace and shoes

I like to tropical-ize my sweaters by wearing them with shorts.
