For as long as I remember, I’ve always loved white shirts. It’s easy to pair with anything! A white shirt with my favorite jeans paired with spiky heels and I instantly have a grunge-glam look. Paired with my favorite rubbershoes, and I get the sporty chic look. A white tee with a boyfriend blazer and leggings… the possibilities are endless! Not to mention, it’s so easy to accessorize a white shirt.
But it’s hard to look for THE perfect white shirt. The ones in tiangges just don’t have the right cut or made of terrible material that it practically falls apart after one wash. Then there was Get Laud! which offered cheap plain blouses that seems to be made of stronger stuff, but I got annoyed with the discrepancies with the sizes and the materials after a while. But kudos to them for providing chic dresses in such affordable prices.
I have tons of white shirts. Two of which came from Get Laud!, a v-neck one which I bought from a tiangge (bazaar), and here’s one that I bought from Cotton On in Singapore. It’s plain, but I really like how it fits me in the right places.

The thing with Cotton On clothes, it’s so simply styled but the fit is so amazing that you’d wish you have a branch in your country. Huhuhu. Like me. If I get the moolah to franchise a clothing business, it would be Cotton On. I wish I had the cash to shop during the time we were there, but I only bought the shirt because I was just disposing my remaining SG$. 
My sister really liked the stuff we bought for her from Cotton On. I don’t have a picture of the clothes, but one of the tops that we bought are in their website
See the floral top that the girl is wearing? That was the design of one of the tops we bought. Also, they have these great deals such as you buy two boyfriend shirts for S$40, but if you buy only one you have to pay the retail price of S$25 each. And if you reach a certain amount, you can buy a pair of shades or flip flops for S$5! I promise I’ll franchise this brand in the distant possibility I’ll get rich enough to do so.
Cotton On also has a lingerie line that borders more on quirky/sexy rather than Victoria’s Secret romantic/seductive style. I seriously wanted to buy this nightie with a comic design but I had to choose between that or the Mango bag. The latter won. I seriously regret it up til now.
Anyway, it’s nice that we have a local brand here in the Philippines which offers plain and designed tees made with quality material but without the high tag price, namely The Perfect White Shirt. If you’re Pinoy, I’m sure you’ve seen their shirts around.
