Rainy Day

it was raining today, thus the boots. The sweater i like because of the puff sleeves that make it a bit pirate-esque. Finals this week. Ohmy.

Black Friday

This is...me and my friend =] So we went to SF for Black Friday and although lots of stuff were on sale, most of it was still outside of my ~$60 budget. Tried on a lot of stuff, including a Eileen Fisher alpaca knit oversized sweater (lower picture). I fell in love with it. But it was $198 :/ So I took a picture to satisfy (not) my desire for it....

Anyways, after hitting the department stores, we went to lunch at this place in China town. Then back to shopping...After lunch we went to GAP and H&M. I was desperately searching for oversized sweaters but no such luck (even in guys section, the XL wasn't long enough for my expectations...and by then, the sleeves were wayy too ridiculously long)
However, in Gap, I did find they had a buy1get1free sweater sale. I ended up getting a long light brown cardi, and my friend go the same, except in grey, and in a smaller size. I was pretty happy with it. The price, too (~$13).
This was actually my first time in H&M and I was delighted to find awesome things in affordable prices. I got two scarves---one in a pretty salmon color, and another in lightblue/lt.brown. I also purchased a dk. blue blouse =] Blouses are back! :D Although it's not my usual style, I think it'll be a nice change from all my summer tanktops and T's.
I'm still looking for a pair of nice NOTseethrough leggings so I can wear shorts/skirts in the Winter. I walk to school..so, keeping warm is a must ^^;.
Okay. Whew, long post. Happy late Thanksgiving and Happy Black Friday everyone!

ps.

this is probably late, but did anyone else notice the abundance of (cable) knits, pleats, ruffles, and lace? :3

Pirated

Tank- CC California, blouse- mom's, jeans- Old Navy

Today, I wore a nicer blouse to school and one friend said I looked like a pirate. Another said my outfit looked like a maid? I decided I preferred to be a pirate :3

That's the bow =] I love it, really adds character to the whole blouse? The only complaint I have about the blouse is that the sleeves are a bit short, since it is my mother's and she's shorter than I am.

Just a fabric swatch of today's outfit.

And btw I'm happy today. Got an 800 on Chinese SAT2's :]

Threadbare tights

Black tshirt from Target, bermudas from Target, nTier belt, and old old threadbare tights..
The fact that the tights were so threadbare really appealed to me, actually. And I've had this T for forever, but I love it, because it's casual, but not super casual :) Like, the material is, but the detailing spruces it up.

Shirt detail...

Haahahah and there's a random pose for you! :]

warm and furry

So this past weekend I aquired this furry (fake, duh), fleecy jacket. My brother's boyscout troop was selling them for some kind of fundraiser? :o
Well for $20, quality and look isn't bad. The inside is lined with some furry stuff and it's actually pretty warm. It's also has a semi turtle neck if you zip it. :]
I am happy to say I also think it has a somewhat more conservative chic look. Because the sleeves were too short to my liking on the medium, i got the large. The sleeves are longer and even though it is not as formfitting it doesn't swallow me, since I'm a bit taller.

and on a side note....vote for me! :)

New skirt :]

Whee I finally got around to using the fabric I got from my school's 3D room and I made a skirt out of it :) Took me..around 3 hours and a bit. I really like how it turned out and the gathering was really nice too. Only thing was that the fabric didn't drape as nice, but I guess it adds to the volume of the skirt~

Hehe. And that's my friend's outfit which was fantastic :D Loved the boots, the slouchy leggings (which are slouchy because they're her mom's and bit big for her XD), and the skirt is awesome. From F21 i think.

Haha. We were taking pictures during recess at Chinese school xDD

Okok. So anyways, my neighbor wanted to fast....so I'm going to be hungry for the weekend XP Thankfully my dad and brother won't be home so I'll have less people to be angry at if my hunger gets the best of me lol. I will just...sew, write my stupid essay, and drink lots of water! Byebyee~

"Oppa~ Pabsahjoh...." Lol?!

Comfy

Comfy stuff. Cargo pants are rolled up into shorts. They're my brothers, haha. xD The flats are from Taiwan, and the shirt is a really old one from Charlotte Russe.

Homecoming

I was very sad :( because I forgot my camera :/ But...This is what I wore.

This's the collar...I liked the shade of purple :)Here's full body....

I was surprised to get so much positive feedback at the dance, but, yay! :] The dance was ok...they did too many senior only things and not enough slow songs :o

I don't really know if i'll ever wear this dress again. Perhaps I should shorten it into a shirt? :o

It's Sunday...

Dress shirt- Espress. Shirt- Aeropostale. Jeans- Old Navy

Today is Sunday...and nothing really today. Just went to church in the morning, came home, did hw, and went to Hancock's to get a bit of fabric for the sash on my homecoming dress....

goshdarnit

We lost :( But anyways....today I decided to be earthy and wear brown tones.

Shirt- mom's. Skirt & flip flops- Old Navy's

This is a bit of a closer up of the eyelet shirt. It was surprisingly more flattering than I thought it would be before I tried it on...Well. It's loose and comfortable :]

Anklet I wore today, just on a whim.

Lab day

So...this morning took two pictures. Thought both were interesting..but didn't want to bore you with the exact same place & clothes, so I photohopped it! hahah.
Yellow tank- Urban Outiftters. Cropped pants-- REI. Green tank-- Target. Oh and what's great about the pants is that they're water resistant and can zip off, and that's why I wore these today :]-- cause we have to wear long pants for lab days, and I didn't really want to wear long pants.



I got bored on the way home from polo and decided to give you a different background xDD Oh and that's my school bag btw. I found it in my mom's closet. It's really durable, which was a pleasant surprise.

These are the earring I wore today...from Claire's a long time ago. I know you can't see them in the other pics, but they're fantastic and I just recently rediscovered them in my drawer. xDD

Lazy Saturday

Today is Saturday and I woke up at 10. It was awesome. This past week I've been sleeping so late...Anyways, today's lazy day. Do all my homework and whatever. It's cold today and it rained in the morning :/

Tshirt- Vikepound. Long sleeve- Forever 21. Skirt- Ltd.Too.

So wow. It always amazes me when I can still wear stuff I got three years ago. I got it in...sixth grade? DANG. Four years. O.O Well, it's a nice knit, and it still fits nicely. I really like these flouncy hems. They really flatter everyone's legs. haha~

Skull print! :] It's a nice thermal T that I just use for layering...because it's a bit short, so wearing it by itsself isn't really an option.

Well, for those of you who like rain, happy rain day! and for me...I'll just sulk indoors with my homework. I do not like the rain at all :/ because I hate not being able to go outside..

In the Dark

Well today, I had school...and then I biked home, then back to school for polo practice. Then I stayed at school for Chinese school....and ended up biking home in the dark. Since I didn't have time today to take a pic yet, I just decided to do it in the dark. xD

Tunic dress, American Rag. Jacket, Billabong. Tights, Fleurish. Flipflops, OldNavy.

Haha. I like this look a lot. It's practical and comfortable, and the neckline is not too revealing, but not super covered up. Plus the tights are really REALLY comfortable. I'm very sad because I don't remember where I got them ><

Lol anyways, I actually hung my camera on a fence to take this picture ^^v.
G'nighttt~

Safari?

I was looking through the NY Magazine site...they have really great pictures of all the fashion shows. Anyways, I came across a safari outfit.

It's what inspired my earthy toned outfit today...The weather was being annoying, so I over heated a bit, due to the fact I was wearing long sleeves but...

So long sleeve from Gap, vest is Unionbay, shorts are from Target.

I have so much hw :/

Ohoh. and I like the necklace I'm wearing. It's from For Love 21, kind of the Forever21 accessories store. I was actually in Minnesota, so there was no sales tax. haha~

Walking Home..

On the way home from polo, I stuck my camera on someone's low fence. xDD;

The blue tank top was a free one from Wet Seal, courtesy of a coupon from Seventeen Magazine...last month? The skirt is from Old Navy, it's actually quite old..I believe I've had it since sixth grade..The shrug is from NET, store in Asia. It's very comfortable and can be worn belted or unbelted.

Just on another note, I was a bit disappointed these few months because I have not seen many nice skirts in stores :/ They're either too short, or slightly longer than I would like. I really really like these mid-thigh legnth flouncy skirt though :) They make anyone legs look nicer. haha~ The only drawback is that if you live somewhere really windy...xD;;;

Baby the Stars Shine Bright?

Blue and yellow always make me think of night sky and stars :3

Long sleeve from Old Navy, vest from Macy's, shorts from Target.

Believe it or not, the shorts are actually yellow...I know, you can't see it very well :/ I think it's 'cause the light was really bright...

Well today we beat Santa Clara, overtime, 11-10.....Hush wasn't so happy. :o

Anyways, the stars really were shining bright tonight :] It was so pretty, and while I biked home, I prayed, and it felt good :)

Oh and btw I really really really like this shade of blue~ haha. The shirt itsself is ok I think...Nice fit and very comfortable, but I think it's a bit thin.

Monday Polo..

Today is monday. Today we had a polo game against Harker. We won 10-5 yay :3

This is just..my sloppy comfortable outfit. The long sleeve T is from this past summer's Local Missions Trip, and it's oversized but super comfy. Shorts are our polo Soffee shorts. They're super short...but really comfortable also haha~

Lab day

Today we had a lab day in chem. Meaning we had to wear long pants. I...thought leggings are acceptable, so i wore them :) Turns out they are, so I'm all good :] Anyways, I started to really like this outfit..it makes the shirt/skirt look kind of like a dress-ish? Well anyways, I thought it looked very put together :3 or something like that.

The tank is C&C California, belt is secondhand, skirt is from Delia's, and leggings are..I don't remember. The tag says Fleurish, but I don't remember which store I got them from. They're actually really nice, because they double as pants too, because they're considerably warm and super comfortable.

Oh I remember how I was going to describe this! Elegant sk8er. xDD; Well, polo is making my ears hurt :( Because I think I got water in my ears....:/

The Berkeley Way

Well anyways, last Labor Day weekend, my parents took my brother and I to visit Berkeley. Our tour guide was a grad student and I found that I really liked her sandles :D They were from Payless.

Umm there was this other shop there that was having a two dollar sale...But didn't find anything worth getting. Quality wasn't so great.

School makes me so tired....

Third and Already Exhausted

Today is the third day of school and I am already exhausted and ready for summer again.

Anyways, white tank from Target, yellow from Urban Outfitters, cardigan from NET, skirt from Delia's (got it in Minnesota, so no tax! ;D), shoes from Taiwan, I forget where the belt is from, and the bag I rescued from my mom's closet. :)

I really like this bag~ Got a lot of compliments on it too, which is always nice, haha. It's very practical since it's so big and spacious, but I'm afraid to over stuff it so I'll have to start using a real backpack next week The shoes I also like because they have a carefree feel to them and are very comfortable. The only thing is that they are getting really old and the soles are cracked now :/ I also really like the skirt! :) Kind of flouncy, but not over-doing it. So yeah. Back to hw and notes!

<3

One More Day

One more day until school starts on Monday. Today was a pretty chill day...didn't really plan on doing anything except to snag a locker at night. The tak was from Mervyn's....shorts are Old Navy...they're getting pretty old...the shoes were my old 8th grade grad shoes from Payless. Yeah, and i'm standing on a chair..I know... +_+ Oh! By the way, yesterday (Friday) my friend Jenny and I went to our teacher's house. Played Portal and painted nails :D I found this fabulous blue chrome color amongst my teacher's vast selection of colors~

Yay for espadrilles xD I liked the freshness of white that contrasts my ridiculous tan which I am getting from polo practice. And I really really really like that chrome blue <3 Tomorrow will be...church and one last hang out with friends before school starts...:o
