tuxedo jacket

Breaking away from all those overly feminine outfits I have been posting recently… way.too.girly ... it's killing me! Hahaha, who am I kidding, I love skirts and dresses so much, they practically make up my entire spring/summer closet. My cousin and I took these photos in the end of spring, hence the jacket.  It wasn’t quite 80 degrees (like it is now!) back then so this was just perfect.  I love the colors on this jacket so much that it needed to make an appearance on a blog post. My outfit preferences on certain days are very mood-dependent, and on some days, my no-brainer outfit is a trusty pair of skinnies and a nice jacket or blazer.  Grab and go as I would like to call it. I'm out of the door in, say, an hour? Hahaha, an hour definitely isn’t the definition of grab and go but you guys get the picture! Have you guys thought of what your go-to outfit is on lazy days?

 To everyone residing in the states, HAVE A HAPPY and SAFE 4th of July!!!

almost summer

 

Seattle has been quite the moody one lately.  It can’t seem to make up it’s mind on what it wants to be, chilly  in the morning so you bundle up somewhat, but as soon as you step out of your building at the end of a work day, you realize that you are inappropriately dressed for what the weather has turned out to be… oh well! Lol. Nevertheless, summer is next week and we all just need to bust out those sweet, summery colors. One of my favorite things about the sun being out is being able to wear skirts and dresses again and the feeling of satisfaction when heavy winter clothes are finally being stashed away! So here is the beginning of my hopefully color-filled and vibrant summer. Wait.. on second thought, I don’t wanna be ripped for wearing black with my fun skirt, so scratch that idea! I’ll begin when it really starts to legitimately feel like summer around here. J

peplum

Seattle is still not as warm as I hope it would be so in a my haste, I just grabbed this black peplum sweater. Hmmm..peplum and I are not best of friends. Lol. My longer-than-normal torso screams "no!"  to some of the prettiest peplum pieces I have seen. On the other hand, finding one that fits you right can make an outfit, so a fitting room trip is a must. Now black and gold accessories are a different story. I love these two colors together! Gold can definitely fill that missing void when trying to dress up a black outfit.

lincoln park

Second post, here we go! Trying to get the ball rolling as much as I can, so please bear with me and my procrastinating ways, haha!  It turned out to be a beautiful afternoon in Seattle, after a dreary start to the day, so I decided to drag my trusty photographer/cousin Tim and headed to Lincoln Park, because, well, Seattlelites and Parks are a given on a sunny day. We tried to take photos that would showcase the scenic views and share it with everyone but it just was not working out, sorry about that! So for now, you are stuck with a brick wall and me… and some greenery.

I have been dabbling  with mixing  prints since last year, nothing too drastic but just articles of clothing or colors that complement  each other.  It feels like stepping out of my comfort zone  but only taking baby steps, so don’t expect me don a full on Lady gaga inspired outfit in the near future… No. haha!  I decided that adding a neutral shoe helps to tone down how busy an outfit looks so that is what I did here. :)

I just want to say thank you for everyone that took a little bit of time out of their busy lives to read my blog. I greatly appreciate the love! Shout out to my cousin Gea and my brother Naz for helping my technologically illiterate brain understand possibly 3% of what has been done to this blog so far! :)

Thanks for reading!!! :)
