Walk the Line

Dress: Sheinside | Jacket: Forever 21 | Boots: Office

This is an outfit I wore last Tuesday, and these pictures were the result of a random OOTD shoot that took place right before I had discussion that day. Lately I've been loving stripes, so I decided to pair this striped dress with my pleather jacket from Forever 21 (that was featured pretty recently about 2 blog posts ago, hehe) and favorite Chelsea boots. The weather has finally gotten cooler over here, so I've finally been able to wear some layers which has been nice! Though I usually prefer sunny weather, I've actually been liking the cloudy/rainy weather recently. Maybe it's because I miss London, le sigh. 

Anyways, keeping things short today since I should be studying right now for finals, ahh! 

Here's an outtake for ya:

Hope you all have a good week, until next time!

Flashback: Bold Strokes

Dress: Topshop (thanks Jo!) | Jacket: Free People | Oxfords: Madewell | Wallet: Fossil

This week's post is the third and final outfit from my styling project. I love the bright colors and patterns of this lovely Topshop dress that Jo, my styling professor, gave to me during a class clothes swap. I knew that I definitely wanted to style the dress for my project since my theme was texture/pattern mixing, so I decided to pair it with this chevron embroidered jean jacket. As always, I kept accessories minimal since I felt the outfit was a statement already, and I decided to pair the outfit with my favorite oxfords. 

I have one more outfit left from my time in London, but I'll probably wait a while and give these flashback posts a bit of a rest. 

Here's an outtake: 

I almost used the second picture in this post as an outtake (apparently the wall was quite hilarious to me at that moment? Haha).

Anyways, hope you all have a good week. Until next time!

Flashback: Gridlock

Jacket: Forever 21 | Top: Brandy Melville | Skirt: H&M | Boots: Office 

2014 has definitely been the year of dabbling into monochrome for me. I've always preferred wearing color over black, and I didn't get the appeal of the monochrome look at all. My style has definitely evolved over the years, and from time to time I like to delve outside of my style comfort zone to try new things. Being in London for six months was what probably pushed me over the edge, and I must say that I now have a new-found love for monochrome outfits. 

This is probably one of my favorite outfits ever, and I wish that I had some less derpy pictures to show from this OOTD taken a while ago with Jackie. Looking back at these pictures taken in my go-to picture location makes me miss London even more...sigh. Anyways, back to the outfit. I absolutely love this grid-patterned skirt from H&M, and it was one of my most worn items during the last bit of my time abroad (I also wore it on my plane ride home...sniffle). Pretty much every item in this OOTD is a favorite of mine! 

No outtakes for this post since these pictures are already outtakes, really. These accurately depict how I feel whenever I take pictures for my blog...haha! :p

Until next time!

Flashback: What I Would Wear To...

Top: Madewell | Skirt: The Fara Workshop | Flats: Tory Burch | Wallet: Fossil 

Happy Sunday everyone! Today has started out pretty great seeing as we gained one hour of sleep (hooray for daylight savings!!), which was much needed after a long/fun Saturday spent volunteering at my first health fair and catching up with friends in SF :) I was in the biggest food coma I have experienced in a while yesterday thanks to amazing soup dumplings and yummy boba, and it made my heart happy to spend time/have good laughs with friends I haven't seen in quite a while.

Anyways, today is a pretty short flashback again of an outfit I put together for a styling assignment yet again. We were told to put together an outfit that we would wear to a Victoria Beckham fashion show that was both a representation of our own style (since we were told to take into account the fact that what we'd be wearing would be our first impression to possible styling clients) and event-appropriate given Victoria's style. I went with a simple outfit with classic shapes and a bit of a twist with the mixing of texture and pattern (clearly this is something I have been obsessed with based on my last few posts, haha). I also took this as an opportunity to style an outfit around this lovely floral pleated midi skirt, one of my favorite buys from London. It was from The Fara Workshop in Islington, which was a favorite shop of mine to browse around since their pieces are unique/quirky and totally my style (many are made from donated fabrics/clothing, and their proceeds are donated to charity!). If I had had a pair of simple black heeled sandals with a thin ankle strap, I definitely would have worn those instead (alas, didn't bring any heels with me while I was in London). 

Hope you all have a good week, and before I go here's an outtake:

Until next time!
