Everything is Better With Pink

You ever slip out an outfit and instantly feel like: damn, I'm as fresh as a daisy? That's how I felt wearing this. Let's go down the list of why I'm loving it: 

peter pan collars

bows

big buttons

gingham

heart sunglasses

and the cherry on top: ice cream cone earrings which literally have cherries on top.

An outfit short and sweet!

Summer Words

Last week my boyfriend graduated from his Master's program (which he totally kicked BUTT IN; so proud. Waaaaahooo!!!) so we dashed over to Thailand for a long weekend to celebrate. This is the balcony of the resort we stayed in. The grounds were so gorgeous and we could see the turquoise ocean water from the balcony. My favorite part of the resort was listening to the waves crash as we fell asleep; much different than the noise from our Singaporean bedroom window! My favorite part of the trip was both of us turning off our phones for three days and just relaxing together.

It's also fun just to wear a swim suit for 3 complete days. I threw this oversized tank top and bright skater skirt over mine on our first day to the pool/beach. I don't usually get to show off my tattoo so I was excited to wear this outfit in Thailand - a place where people go purposely TO show off their ink! I got mine my first year in Korea. It says in French "one vie passionnante" which means a life of passion.   Pair it with the "love is blind" tank and "art as canvas" tote (what does that mean…?) and I got a lot to say as I walk down the strip! ;-)

Bright Summery Florals for a Fall Night

This is about a very cute outfit and a very sad story. Okay, that's somewhat of an exaggeration. But this Saturday was my first day in forever where I didn't have to do anything it seemed. I was going to meet my friends out for drinks and dancing later this night but I wanted to get ready at my leisure. Is this just a me problem? If I only have 30 minutes, I can get ready so fast. But if you give me 4 hours, I can stretch out getting ready that long. Of course, I always end up putting on 10 layers of mascara and lipstick then. I started getting ready super early because I wanted to do my nails and try my hand at cat eyes. I'm not great at it but I love cat eyes soooo much. After I got ready and took pictures, I ended up accidentally falling asleep. By the time I woke up, I felt crappy that I ended up not going out or wearing my cute outfit. >.< Oh well. 

I got this skirt at a clothing swap recently. I grabbed it quickly just because I love cotton skater skirts. But once I got home, I thought, "Is this an ugly skirt? Is the print too crazy?" I ended up pairing it with a black top and dark maroon tights and now I love the skirt. I like how the dark colors surrounding the skirt let the bold colors pop. I also love how even though the skirt is a floral print, with the dark colors it still looks like a fall outfit. 

I also recently got these awesome chunky mary jane heels at Homeplus (the Korean Wal-mart). I'm obsessed with them. They are so comfortable that I've actually worn them teaching. But they're still heels so they give me that delicious magic voodoo thing that heels do - especially in this outfit! I don't know if it's the length of the skirt, the tights, the shoes or the height of the camera but man, I don't think my legs have ever looked that long! 

Have you ever had an article of clothing that grew on you? Or even vice versa - something you at first loved, but later hated? 

Sorry the photo is so dark!
