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?!
