Though we’re not the celebrant who should think of what she would wear on that night few weeks before, for sure you wouldn’t like to be under dressed or overdressed during the debut of your friend. But before I share my OOTDs, these things should be considered first;

1.Theme
   Debutants usually require their guests to dress according to their party theme. The usual dress codes were formal, semi-formal, pastel color, black and white, floral or any color of their choice (blue, maroon etc.) and they even restrict color tones like red, black, etc. So you gotta follow what they require you so your friend will be genuinely happy to see you.

2.Venue
    Since you knew already what the party theme is, next thing to check is the venue, if it is an open area, closed, hall, beach, or hotel. Because you might not want to sweat wearing thick furry coat in a beach so you must really check out the venue since for sure it was included in the invitation.

     I usually wear black dress because it matches everything but keep this in mind: if you’re choosing what color to wear for your formal gown, think of the possible color of the table mattress and the carpet of the event because it was awkward to wear gown that looks like the extension of the table cloth while you’re sitting in the table.

         In formal attire, it is not really required to wear long spandex gowns at all times.

Long Dress with 2 slit from @thefluffshop in IG but was handed down from @jillalday thanks again! :*

There's a story behind every picture right? but I remember this night, I went straight to this party after my Volleyball game held in Sta. Rosa, Laguna and the party was in Batangas City so I changed clothes and did my hair and make-up in the car and I came here with my big sports bag

so I don't know if my eye shadow was blended thoroughly and whatsoever but I still got nominated as best dressed/ face of the night  having this simple-rushed look HAHA

these are my friends and these are some of our formal attire inspirations for y'all.

          You could be creative and playful with your outfit yet still being a head turner as you open the door of the hall. Semi-formal theme allows you to wear denims, skirts, fancy shorts and etc.

Before the off shoulder season arise, I feel like I started the trend HAHAHA joke

This is one of my favorite semi-formal look because I'm just wearing shorts and Sando and I made it look semi-formal by wearing White coat. these are just pieces in my closet that I haven't worn. The Party's theme is Pastel colors and I don't really have a lot of pastel colored clothes so I tried to mix and match these and Viola!

     These are just my iconic looks when I attended several debut parties of my batchmates because the year 2017-2018 is my “debut season”, it is when my classmate and friends had their debut celebrations (99s-2000s babies).

     You might notice that I only have common simple hairstyle (sleek hair, ponytail) and make up because unlike my other friends, I don't go to make up artist just to have me look so posh, I believe and trusted Youtube and Pinterest make over tutorials and partly I pulled it somehow the way it should be.
   
       Life lesson during this season; " Don't spend or worry too much on how you will look on those nights, yes it is fulfilling to be hailed as "Queen of the night " or "best dressed" but sometimes, simplicity makes you stand out among the rest. Avoid buying costly dresses because most of the time, you have it all in your closet, you just need to find time and mix and match. " The importance of attending a debut party is your complete presence for the whole night yet dressing edgy makes you the most unforgettable guest they turned you to be.
