When the sun is out, the shoulders come out. I'm currently having the a moment with using the bandana either in place of necklace or choker or layering it with a necklace, especially if I'm wearing an off the shoulder top. I know that Coachella is long gone and done, but I wouldn't mind wearing this when I'm out romping around town.
I like that this off the shoulder top from Morrisday the Label has an elastic band all around to keep the top up especially for me since I'm more on the smaller bust size (president of the itty bitty community). I don't find the elastic uncomfortable while I'm wearing it throughout the day. It also doesn't slide off my chest. It's just the right amount of snug to keep my chest covered.
The weather has been a little deceiving lately. I would peek out the window and see that the sun out thinking that it would be nice and warm. But once I leave out the door, it's actually pretty chilly. The struggle.
Layering is key when it comes to unpredictable weather. I've layered my Topshop sleeveless top underneath this t-shirt dress. Not only that it keeps my body warm, but it changes the look of the t-shirt dress with the high neck of the top peeking out of the neckline of the dress. It's almost like having another dress. I've been playing around with different ways to mix and match my current wardrobe.
My OTK boots still allows me to flash a little bit of my legs without freezing my butt off. I love pairing these boots with a dress for spring. Keeps the leggies warm, but not hot enough that I'll be sweating wearing them.
The dust has finally settled. Christmas is officially over! It felt as if I've waited for this day forever, and it was over in a blink of an eye. I hope everyone had a merry Christmas, for those who celebrate, with their loved ones. I spent Christmas Eve at my parents' house and had all sorts of delicious food that my dad, grandma, and brother made. My mom was in charge of the decor and ambiance of the house.
I just realized that we also only have a few more days left before 2015 is officially over! I'm still trying to figure out what to do for New Year's Eve.
This coat has been getting plenty of use from me lately. It gives me the Alexa Chung vibes (girl crush) which is probably why I picked it up in the first place. I've also been in the grey mood lately which also explains the grey pants (last seen on this post)
In other news, I decided to participate in vlogmas this year where I'll try to vlog everyday until Christmas day. It's definitely going to be a challenge, but I'm up for it. I can't promise that every single content will be always interesting since it'll involve some of the mundane, regular parts of my life. I already posted my first vlogmas video yesterday, and I'm so glad about the positive feedback and support that I'm getting from it. I hope you'll tune in!
This v-neck sweater has been easily my favorite lately. I picked it up in an x-small, and fit is still a bit loose which I really liked because it looks much more relaxed. I love the slightly deep v-neck and the color of the sweater. Sadly, this color is not available online, but it does come in two other colors (and it's on sale for $9.99). The v-neck is not too deep and it's the perfect neckline for layer your necklaces. I'm also thinking about picking up another v-neck rib-knit sweater (similar to what I'm wearing right now) just to have for winter. It seems like this will be my lazy winter uniform this year.
I've been really into neutral palettes lately, and one of my favorite combinations right now is anything cream/tan and black. It's my go-to combination when I'm in a hurry and I just need to get dressed. I really like how the texture of this sweater pairs up nicely with these coated Paige Denim skinnies, which are also my favorite pair of pants right now. You might have noticed that I'm wearing these pants again since I just featured them in my last post. And because I ended up loving these, I picked another pair up of Paige Denim in grey and another coated moto-style skinny jeans recently.
Anyway, in a non-outfit matter, I'm in the process (again, I feel like it never ends) of cleaning out my room before the year-ends. I want to only keep what I need and will be using right now and toss what I haven't touched. My problem is that I tend to hold on to things. You know just in case.
However, ever since I picked up Do Less in the beginning of the year, I've had this itch of simplifying my life a little bit more. After I finished reading that book, I picked up, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, a few months later in the hopes of getting started with organizing and tidying up my place. Well, I'd like to report that I haven't started on the book, and that my closet is still cluttered. I'm making it my goal right now is to at least read a few chapters this Thanksgiving break. Hopefully by then, I'll be able to list some things on Poshmark so that my unused items can find a new and loving home.
Please share if you have any organization or decluttering techniques on the comments below.
I've been fighting off this cold or flu or whatever I caught last week. I've been laying like a blob and being miserable these past few days. It's been a real struggle haha. I'm just glad that I'm feeling a wee bit better now.
Here's look number two from my recent Fall Lookbook video. If you haven't seen it yet, I've put together three different looks with three different suede pieces from my closet. I posted the first look last week here.
I always get so excited when I can pull something old from my closet and wear it again. It's sort of a validation that I can shop for pieces that will be on rotation for years. I've had this jacket for a few years now... ever since my hair was still long (see post here)! I'm all about trying to maximize the wear of my clothes, so when I spotted this moto jacket, I knew it would always be a closet staple for me. The color was a nice change to my usual black or olive green jackets.
Having a suede jacket in your closet is like having a sister for your favorite leather jacket. Suede just adds a different texture and feel to any outfit. It feel rich and it's just soft to touch. Below are some of my picks that I'm currently lusting over.
