For some reason, I think about this outfit often. The shirt is so cute and super comfortable. I’ve had the jeans forever–I mean, like for a really, really long time! Perhaps this ensemble was the first outfit I created for August’s box; perhaps that might be why it stands out. You see, I was fastidiousContinue reading A Total Change in Wardrobe
Whatever Happened to Skinny Jeans?
While wearing these jeans the other day, Kevin asked me the funniest question: Whatever happened to skinny jeans? I had to laugh out loud. For one, it obviously takes him a bit to catch on, but also his sense of sadness with those jeans no longer being a part of my jean collection was comical.Continue reading Whatever Happened to Skinny Jeans?
Upcycled Suit
Wait! Before you go to get rid of something, ask yourself: Could I rework this another way? For example, I felt a bit finished with this plaid pantsuit. It’s hard to describe what was wrong with it because nothing was. I just wasn’t wearing it as much. But, recently, I had started seeing suits withContinue reading Upcycled Suit
The Color Combo I Can’t Say No To
There’s this color combo that I can never say no to: yep, it’s black and white and red all over! The moment I saw this jacket in the store window at H&M, I went hunting. I couldn’t find it anywhere. Then, in the changing room, there was one sitting there discarded. I aksed, Can IContinue reading The Color Combo I Can’t Say No To
9 Years of Profile Pics OR a History of Hairdos
Since I no longer have a straight bob and haven’t for a while now, it was about time for me to update my profile pic. And! With a new hairdo that has me feeling confident again, I put on a cute outfit I’d worn this week, I grabbed my tripod and Remota, and I wentContinue reading 9 Years of Profile Pics OR a History of Hairdos
Winter Whites with Rico
One’s personal style is always evolving–at least mine is. Lately, there seem to be more days when I don’t like what I’m wearing to work… however, when I do like it, I want to celebrate my style. That was the case with this winter whites outfit. I wore this exact outfit to work on Wednesday–afterContinue reading Winter Whites with Rico
The Year of the OX! Happy Chinese New Year!
Whoah! The Year of the Rat was a doozy! Both Kevin and I are rats too, so we couldn’t help but feel the zodiac weight of the world that was last year. I remember explaining to Kevin that when it’s your year, it can also be one of difficulty and hardship–hence the reason many believersContinue reading The Year of the OX! Happy Chinese New Year!
If I Had Your Face
A while ago, I made a series of posts where I’d style an outfit to accompany a book I’d read. On Sunday, while deeply immersed in If I Had Your Face by Frances Cha, I looked at the cover of the book and then my sweater. I knew I had to go take some picturesContinue reading If I Had Your Face
I Love Cold Hong Kong
Yes, the fake is fur, but my wearing it is not. Cold Hong Kong–which is only about a month-long–is actually quite fun. Cold weather is all relative. I mean temperatures aside, we all feel really cold over here. There is no heating insider our buildings here in Hong Kong–unless you count my Fashy (my hotContinue reading I Love Cold Hong Kong
I Look So Much Like My Mom
I look so much like my mom! It feels very odd to edit pictures of myself and totally see her. Or, I may even catch a glance of myself in a mirror and think it’s my mom. I mean I know I always have resembled her, but there’s something about me right now at myContinue reading I Look So Much Like My Mom
My Blogging Block and Thoughts on Racism
I’ve got a bad case of blogging block, and I have figured out why. I never did put that little black square on my Instagram feed. I didn’t and haven’t put anything to support, contradict, or even mention the #blacklivesmatter movement. Honestly I have tayed mute. I never wanted to say the wrong thing. I’mContinue reading My Blogging Block and Thoughts on Racism
Leopard Love Still Going Strong and Why I’ve Been Silent
Years ago–six to be exact, when I started posting my outfits versus only family updates, one of my most favorite style posts was this over-the-top Leopard Love moment. Ironically, as I write, I’m wearing a black silky shirt covered in both leopard and cheetah animals. There’s something about animal print and fall that are synonymousContinue reading Leopard Love Still Going Strong and Why I’ve Been Silent
