Matchy Matchy Bohemian

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.
