paint splatter

 

First off, I just want to say sorry for being MIA lately. As with every single one of us, life happens  and we get caught up in how hectic, stressful, crazy, overwhelming  things are at times (is it okay to say this on a fashion blog? Lol) .  Needless to say, we try to get back to the normalcy of things so here I am as I try to get back on track with the things that I love doing.  Second, excuse the title of this post, lol. I have not a drop of creative juice left in my brain right now and really, doesn’t this dress/top look like it has paint splatter all over it?? On to a more blog-related discussion, this top was actually sold as a dress but I guess for  a tall person such as moi, it isn’t. Have you ever bought something where you fell so in love with how it looks but unsure of how to really wear it BUT ended up getting it anyway? Well, this is one of those buys. I knew I couldn’t wear this as a dress, obviously because I do not want to be arrested for indecent exposure, duh. Hahaha.  So my go-to solution for fashion dilemmas  such as this, wear it as a top! I think it works… it does because I have no other choice. Lol. Sorry for this very unhelpful fashion post, I hope y’all got a good laugh from it, though!

As always, thank you so much for reading and see you on my next post!

polka dot pants

 

I hate to put it on the title bar but I was really itching to refer to these as pajama pants. Im pretty sure I’m not the only person that refers to  these uber-comfy pants as that. I am in love with the comfort these loose pants give although I admittedly would  like to NOT  wear these with flats (if I can help it!) as they put me at risk of looking like Aladdin.  I have a feeling that some of you might have been tempted or at least have been the teeniest bit curious to try on this style of pants  but never took the plunge, I’d say give it a go as long as you carry a pair of heels with you in the fitting room, hahaha. I tell you, they make a world of a difference on how they can look. Don’t get too intimidated with the stretchy elastic waist either as these come in handy after an extremely satisfying lunch! Trust me, you will thank yourself for getting a pair of them! Also, this is a perfect time for me to wear my whites, just in time for Labor day!!

Happy Labor day weekend to everyone in the States, thank you so much for reading and see you on my next post!

take me back to hawaii

 

 

I got this dress a few weeks after a trip to Hawaii in late March for my sister in law’s wedding.  We had such a great time but it was such a short vacation that I felt like I would’ve loved to stay longer, as with any  tropical getaway… nobody ever wants to leave! Back in the real world (which is Seattle lol), I happen to see this dress as I was leaving HM and for some crazy reason, it screamed “take me back to the Islands with you!”  Such a trendy mirror print dress but with how cheap it was, I couldn’t leave it behind.  Didn’t bother trying it on, i just took my “hawaiian” dress home with me, tried it on and then love ensued. Lol, okay that might have been a little dramatic  but I did surprisingly end up loving this impulse purchase on me! Don't we ladies just get excited when that happens?!!

Thank you so much for reading and see you on my next post!

blushin' and distressin'

I think this title is corny. Lol. It cracks me up that deep down, this title makes me somewhat cringe and giggle at the same time, hahaha.  Enough about that!  I have I always referred to this blazer  as my blush blazer and the jeans, well, they are obviously distressed jeans (so popular right now!), hence the title. I snagged mine from a consignment store for just $10… $10!!! Such a steal, I was ecstatic! I was thinking of how I personally wanted to style my jeans and decided to go the “unstructured” route. I tried a few tops that one would’ve instinctively pick to pair with these jeans but after a few futile, dissatisfying attempts, I thought well maybe I can make this loose, asymmetrical Asos top and an equally loose blazer work with a really casual pair of jeans…. I think I just did. J Turned out to be a good day after all.
