Asos teal skirt (I'm contemplating on getting the mustard yellow version too), vintage belt (similar: 1, 2, 3 ), forever 21 jacket (similar: 1, 2, 3 ), striped UO shirt , jessica simpson platforms (similar ), amrita singh earrings, c/o Bakers jeweled cuff
I love wearing different shades of the same hue. I actually wore this a few days back, when the weather gods gifted us with 2-3 rare days of 60-70 degrees. I immediately pulled out this light jacket that I've been dying to wear more but haven't really gotten many chances due to the unbearable heat wave we've been experiencing (previously worn here). I paired it with my new skirt purchased in my favorite color since middle school. While we're on the topic of teal, I need your opinion on these teal glitter platforms...are they a bit too much? They also have it in red glitter if you're going as Dorthy for Halloween. I joke. Asos has really been stepping it up in the shoes department lately.
My bangs are so long that they bothered me to the point to which I pinned them up, which is quite a feat. I hate my forehead (long story, involves a Chinese childhood rhyme that chants "big head, big head, no worries when the rain comes, they have umbrellas, you have a big head"). Then I did a photoshoot and I actually liked how I looked with my hair up. Now looking back on these photos I wish fervently my hair was worn down so it must have been Liz's hair-styling prowess and not actually me looking good with my hair up. Random hair-related rant over...
I stayed up late all weekend not because I was out partying, but because I was doing school-related work. I've been freaking out over the future for the past year now and it's weird to think I'm almost out of college. This last semester has been definitely a test for willpower; I've already had so many nights where I come home at 10 pm from research after staying at school since 8 am. I would say more but I feel like I've complained enough and it's currently 3am when I'm writing this. I just know I'll be super glad when this semester is all over!

Ha! I didn't even notice anything wrong with your head and I still don't. It's better than my small pinhead but I guess we sometimes want what we can't have.
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful though. The coloring is gorgeous.
again, perfect outfit. I love the color combos you do, and now I'll have some idea on how to layer. I'm always so afraid to do it!

Lovely outfit. I love wearing different shades of the same hue as well I think it makes your outfit interesting without being too matchy matchy. For a moment there I thought you had dyed your hair blue but turns out it was the reflection from the door.
