T by AW

Today, I'm really being a true Cali girl. Denim. Dress. Sunglasses. High pony tail. I'm truly enjoying the sun while I can. After being cooped up at work and school, it feels good to be out when I can. This amazing trapeze dress by T by Alexander Wang is light-weight, comfortable, and still shows your body shape. What else could you ask from a dress?

Paired with the dress a simple denim jacket does the trick to get some arm coverage without being too hot. Definitely an outfit with contrasting textures.

The Boyfriend Shirt and Oxfords

 Hooray for the SoCal sun shining down on us. That means its time to do a 180 spin on our wardrobes! I'm finding it hard to transition though...BUT this outfit is a good start to keep cool.

Starting off with my basic grey vneck and black pants, I kept it casual to go have a late lunch at Larchmont Bungalow with one of my besties. I wanted to have a cover up, but it was too hot for a jacket, so the boyfriend button up was a good way to add a pastel color to my dark scheme. To really add a touch of summer, I finally busted out my cutout oxfords that I got from Dolce Vita.

Stay Tuned for my Spring/Summer looks! Thanks for reading :) 

For students out there, good luck on your Midterms! One more to go for me!

A Preppy Step

Hi all~ In light of the spring semester that has started for me, this look channels my inner collegiate self. Neutrals and blacks to keep it simple due to the transition from winter to spring. The beige sweater layered on top of the white collared oxford blouse adds a classy touch to the sweater. Of course paired with my Rag & Bone black jeans, perfect formal or casual occasions.
To avoid any more blisters for a while, the 2'' ankle booties does the trick to add more neutral tones to this look.

I've been so cold in the mornings that I am so hesitant to wear dresses and skirts :( I miss them. Time for the sun to shine!

It's been a while since I took a selfie. So BOOM. One of my slower days at work. I probably shouldn't had but I couldn't resist :P

The "It" Coat

 

 So as the name of the post is titled, it is all about the coat. It seems a bit silly that I would be wearing something rather thick in LA, but I just could not resist. Well, actually, I was heading out to a Christmas dinner with a friend (back in 2013) and it did get pretty cold. ANYWAY, what I love about the coat is that it falls at the perfect length and the color. The length of the coat fell a bit longer than my skirt, so the coat almost acted like a mini dress. It appears on the shoulders that it looks big, but it is a bit oversized since I purchased a size us 6 (just because I like the oversized look).

My outfit under the coat consists of a simple cream/beige v-neck sweater to create a neutral soft tone to my other color choices of greys and blacks. My skirt is black vinyl which adds a different dimension that adds shine and texture. It makes my skirt stand out because of the glare!

As usual, I can't get away from my bootie addiction, as I am wearing my Rachel Zoe kane booties.

Just Throw It On

Considering that winter is upon us, I cannot not post a sweater post...SO...here it is! This outfit is comfortable yet stylish when it gets too cold for me to wear a skirt or dress. Layers on layers on layers!

The anorak protects me from the chilly wind. I admit I exaggerate on how cold it is considering I live in LA, but STILL. The sweater was gifted to me and I love it because it adds that Christmas-y touch.

Excuse my facial expression~~ I get awkward and shy behind the camera. HaHa.

Can't forget the combat boots. These boots are so durable and I have worn them for a long time. It has that "worn" look.
