Today was such a gloomy day. Ordered a hot chai tea latte from the local coffee shop, which was perfect for today's chilly weather. Also got a picture of the pretty flowers outside of the shop. My outfit was inspired by my housemate when I saw her coming down the stairs with a denim jacket tied around her waist. I've seen people do this and decided to try this trend myself with my thrifted jean jacket. 

This is an old picture but I thought I should still write about it. I'm wearing a boy's shirt. I don't know why but I've recently been loving wearing clothes from the men's section. I used to make fun of my friends for shopping there. I don't usually shop in the men's section, this shirt is actually an old shirt my guy friend didn't want anymore (which is where I get most of my boy clothes). I tucked this over-sized shirt into a small section of my shorts so that I wouldn't drown in the shirt and to show that I was actually wearing something underneath it. Added a snapback to go with the tomboy-ish vibe and my knee high socks because I love them so much. This is what I would call a lazy day outfit haha! 

Spent my day getting some work done at a coffee shop. I love my new Calvin Klein wallet. So simple and elegant, which is what I love about Calvin Klein. I've been wanting to read 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami for the longest time. This 1,000 page book is going to take a while to finish though.They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but this is one of my favorite book cover designs which is one of the things that drew me to this book. I attempted last summer but got lost with all the work of school and other commitments that I couldn't find the time to read. It's nice reading in a coffee shop - my very first experience doing something like this. I accidentally dropped my bookmark and the man sitting next to me was nice enough to make an attempt to get it for me. Too bad it fell right underneath my chair so he couldn't really reach it. 

Chill day today. Loving my giant floppy hat - been wanting one for the longest time! Accessories like that really spice up an outfit. Wearing my new (sort of) leopard print kimono that I thrifted. The weather is so hot up here that it's difficult to create an outfit that you won't melt in. 

This is basically what I consider my everyday uniform to be. I usually wear a some variation of this outfit. Usually all black with a hint of color (white). I love over-the-knee socks because they allow me to still wear my favorite shorts even when the weather does not permit it. Also wearing my favorite thrifted cardigan. This picture doesn't do it justice because the whole thing is this beautiful detailed lace? (I'm not sure if it's considered lace..). I love making a knot with my tops to turn them into crop tops (inspired by Jenn Im) since I don't have a lot of crop tops and can't commit to cutting up my tops. 

Late post, but my outfit for Valentine's Day. I guess it is a bit morbid to wear all black on Valentine's day. I personally find wearing pink and hearts a bit tacky. Valentines day was not the best day for me this year because I missed my shuttle back home which just caused a lot of stress and trouble. However, even though I was having a bad day, that doesn't mean I can't still look nice. I tried to play with textures with my knit sweater, leather skirt, and thrifted jean jacket to balance this overall dark outfit.

Mondays can be more fun if you dress up. My outfit for January 27 even though it's February right now. Rocking my new black chiffon maxi skirt from H&M and this crazy printed top that I thrifted. It's one those items where you can't find anywhere else. First time rocking my new middle part. I also have some platform wedges on which is how I managed to prevent my skirt from dragging across the floor.
