Continue reading “outfit: back to getting dressed.”Hi! I’m back. Things got busy and I didn’t get a chance to post last week (sorry!). Now it’s time to play catch up. I have some wardrobe and apartment updates to share with you all.
Continue reading “outfit: flannel everything (+ my living room)”If these pants look familiar to you, you are not going crazy. I snapped a photo of them during a try on at Nordstrom’s last year when I didn’t end up buying them. At the time, I was trying to prioritize other types of clothes. I recall really loving them though, and was a little sad about walking away. They actually came back to mind a few times since then.

Continue reading “outfit: TGI-MLK-WKND”Hello dear readers! Although I would like to, I haven’t been able to keep up with posting during the week. Thank you for sticking with me! I’ve never adhered to a strict schedule with this blog, but I think that for now, I’ll slow down a bit and post about once per week, mostly on Sundays because that seems to be the day when I usually feel productive and consistently have free time.

I’m back home after some holiday traveling. When I got home, a box with this knit sleeveless top was waiting for me at the door. It was a bit of a risk because I bought it on sale and it wasn’t returnable.
At first, I didn’t know what to make of the neck part of the top. It wasn’t long enough to fold over and out like a traditional turtleneck, but felt restrictive if standing up against my chin. After moving around in it a bit though, the fabric kind of naturally folded elegantly inward by itself. It was a subtle difference that turned this outfit from nun-wear to California-casual. Also loving the hair tucked into shirt look, especially because my hair is particularly huge these days.
These shoes are really starting to fall apart. The leather is peeling badly. I received two pairs of shoes that I bought over vacation (I did a lot of shopping this past week, ah!). Sadly none of them worked out, one was too wide, and the other too tight. One, I will have to re-sell, the other I can return for store credit. Note to self: never buy shoes that aren’t returnable, no matter how good the deal. Lesson learned.
In other news, we are adding some furniture to our bedroom, so things are a bit in flux in my apartment right now. My mirror is temporarily in the living room, but soon it will be replaced by a smaller mirror in the bedroom. I’m working on putting artwork on the walls and adding a few other things.
I don’t have any formal new years resolutions this year. I just want to work on furnishing the apartment and possibly finish up some dormant painting projects that have been lurking around in the back of my mind. This year, I want to have fun and be sort of loose with my goals, steering away from specific quotas and schedules.
I wore sweat pants to work today. Have I reached a new low? Ok probably, but who cares.
Continue reading “outfit: dress code loop hole”I wore this outfit to the “Dog Beach” this afternoon, except that I changed these sneakers for sandals once I got there.
Continue reading “outfit: semi-fancy millennial”Ever since I was a little kid, I thought the key to good style was wearing an entire outfit within the same color family.
Continue reading “outfit: pre-school style”I’ve been stalking a pair of Rachel Comey slingback sandals in the color “poppy” for several weeks now. They fit the bill in so many ways. Modern design. Low heel. The only potential drawback was the color.
Continue reading “no to the poppy shoes”I’m “on-call” this weekend, which means I’m working Friday night and all of Saturday and Sunday. I have to be present during the day and could get called at home in the middle of the night. I was called at 3am and 5am last night. Then I woke up at 7am to go into work. By 3pm I was out.
