Skinny Jeans and Boots

I don't think I'll ever be tired of my skinny blue jeans and boots look.

One Mini Skirt, Two outfits

I love to accessorize and winter is all about the hats and scarves.

Next time I wear this outfit, I think I'll wear the my brown leggings instead.

Another Yellow Chiffon Dress Look

I've been transforming a lot of summer clothes into winter outfits lately. Don't know why, perhaps it's my way of acknowledging the economic recession?

Summer dresses turn cold-weather-worthy when worn with dark tights and big sweater jackets. And strappy sandles worn over tights seem to be a new look, too.

Oversized Sweater Vest

This is a look-a-like from www.yesstyle.com

My vest is actually too short to be worn as a dress so I think it looks better with skinny jeans.

Why do I think I look like someone out of Star Trek?

Red Hat etc.

I've been wanting a knit winter hat for a while and found this one from Forever 21:

With an oversized navy vest, gray skinny jeans and winter boots.

With a super comfy dress that hides my belly bulge!


I found this look-alike dress on www.yesstyle.com, a Asian fashion/shopping site featuring clothes from Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. I actually bought my dress in the US but I don't see many women wearing styles like this here, though.

Layers

Layers for summer/spring.

More layers for autumn/winter.

Houndstooth Skirt

I saw this interesting houndstooth patterned skirt (by GO international) on sale at Target and thought "hmm, my first piece of houndstooth clothing."

Just experiementing, don't actually know if this outfit will ever see the light of day: too office-like for party or my work.

I knew I was not wrong to buy this bright colored tights! I love how it pairs with the skirt. I could wear this to work or a party.

What I'm Wearing to Cali

I'm going to California in a few days! Part of the fun of a trip is planning what to wear. I've decided on my three outfits for my upcoming trip, posted here under this date, 11/10/08.

Cali Outfit #1.

Layered Comfort

I was advised by my friend to dress in layers for Califronia. So I took it as a challenge and here's my layered outfit complete with camisole, sweater, jacket, scarves and hat.

Cali Outfit #2.

Love for Grey

Cali Outfit #3.
I can't keep away from anything grey.

Schoolgirl Rock

I was inspired by knee socks, wish I could incorporate more of fancy socks into my wardrobe. I also like this bright hot pink skirt.

Winter Shorts II

I found that I had these over-the-knee black socks in my drawer and it gave me an idea.

Hippie Bohemian?

For the love of colors and memories of spring.

Peach and Khaki

What I wore to work today:

I use to wear the peach top by itself in the summer time to work but it's so much better layered with the white shirt.

Slimming Black Top

What I wore to work today:

One of my favorite work outfits. Black is so slimming.

I quite like this "what I wore" daily photo journal. I don't normally get to do this since my work outfits usually consists of scrubs and other blah attire.

Ruffle-ly Top

What I wore (to work) today:

I re-worked these gaucho pants from seasons past with this new ruffle-ly wrap top.

So glad I bought this top even though it was a size large and the last one left. It's not the most figure-flattering top because of the size but I love the aflutter ruffles and wrap style.

Periwinkle Gray

What I wore to work today:

Periwinkle cardigan, Merona (Target). Heather Grey skirt, Express. Patent black peep-toe pumps, Steve Madden.

I wore this outfit once last year and once this year to work. Not the most comfortable outfit for work since the skirt rides up when I sit down so it becomes much shorter than it really is. But I like how the outfit looks so it's my once-a-year outfit.

Winter Shorts

Some fashion trends are strange, very strange indeed. On that list includes pleather leggings, peep-toe oxfords and winter shorts. But it only takes a little time before I will come around to the idea. Winter shorts (aka. shorts made of thicker material like wool or tweed that are wore in winter) came in vogue in 2006. I wish I had bought a pair but it was not even on my radar screen back then. A look into the fashion blogsphere shows that winter shorts are still very much loved by girls in Asia. So cute when worn with tights or over-the-knee socks and a oversized sweater.

I woke up this morning with the idea for putting together this outfit. It's not a true pair of "winter shorts" but perfect for this "can't-make-up-my-mind-to-be-hot-or-cold" weather in Dallas.

Chiffon ruffle shirt from Poetry, sweater from Mossimo for Target, khaki linen shorts, bag from Liz Claiborne, peep-toe pumps, and fedora from Target.

Close-up. I've been trying to find ways to wear a fedora.

This is the ruffle shirt in its full glory as seen in another outfit. I just turned the collar down for the above outfit so it doesn't look so "Victorian-ish." Can I just add here how much I love ruffles? I don't think there's anything more feminine and prettier than ruffles. I should indulge in my ruffles for my closet.

Winter Party Outfit

I love that colored tights are in fashion. And this skirt from Sele is the perfect length at above the knee.

I succumbed to the whole "oxford pumps" trend. I think the black and gray is rather nice against the rich blue.

The finishing touch is the uber cute grey trenchcoat that is "made" for this outfit. Now if I'll only have time to go to a holiday party or two.

Grey Blue Plaid Dress

Which shoe is better?

Fall for Florals

Summery floral dresses worn as fall layers are all the rave right now. I happen to have a summery floral dress which I wore to clinic a few times this August. Now I can get more milage out of it with the layering! I'm all for trans-seasonal clothes. I like it with the ankle boots the best but I'm trying to work in my socks-in-Mary-Janes look. Yes, I know I was wearing different colored socks 'cause i want to see which color I liked.

Yellow Chiffon Dress

Found this cute flowery summery yellow and grey dress. Look at the cute fringes! Interestingly, it is a size 16, hmm, must be a kiddie size. It fits super well, though. In kids' size, the shoulder straps are closer together and the chest area is higher up, both things I like. I also have a few camisoles in x-large kids' size from Target. Again they cover more of my chest area and are my essentials for layering. So, back to the topic, this dress is sooo cute in the grey calf-length leggings and the Arturo Chiang shoes. This yellow chiffon dress is a dress for all seasons, one of my favorite finds this summer.

Yellow chiffon dress all autumn-d up with black leggings and gray cardigan. The gold belt reveals a waist.

The dress as late summer/early fall wear. Accessorized with white cropped jacket, grey ankle leggings, silver sandles, and pearl necklace.

Bare shoulders + Chiffon dress = Summer

No Longer a Teen, but. . .

Tokidoki brand clothing. Here's a model wearing a cute pink crewneck sweatshirt in size S from www.karmaloop. This is the first time I've heard of the brand but it features Japanese comic-con like characters.

Here's me wearing it in size M. I thought "cute, cute, cute" when I saw this shirt. But I was a bit hesitant to buy it, the pink is really a really bright baby/powdery pink (almost a "loud" pink, if that makes any sense). Also the style is very teen-ish,? But I love it, especially with my new grey skinny jeans, pair #2.

When Comfort Calls

"Frumpy" comes to mind, but even frumpy can be fashionable when done the right way. I don't know if this is more frump or more fashion, but either way, I know it's a quite comfortable outfit so perhaps it doesn't matter.

With my warm boots if the weather drops a few more degrees. I'm looking forward to cozy fall weather already.
