Sarong

Today, I wore a pretty interesting skirt. This skirt is, or rather, was a sarong. A sarong is a long tube skirt that is worn by either men or women as kilts or skirts. It came from Mindanao, one of the three large island groups in the Philippines. My mom would use it as a beach wrap or as a cover but was about to throw it away, so I salvaged it and asked my grandma to make it into a skirt.

This is a picture of how men from Mindanao would typically wear a sarong. 

I just love the details of the skirt. It has such gorgeous patterns. The cloth was well made and is super soft.

You can't see on the first picture but I was also wearing these earrings my friend gave me in high school for my birthday. Those coils are dizzy-ingly cute :)
