What I Wore to Closing (Happy Thanksgiving)

American Apparel tank, Diesel studded jeans, Forever21 sweater, Charles David snake skin pumps


This is what I wore to CLOSE ON MY NEW HOUSE. I can't believe I actually own a house!


The beeeaaauutiful kitchen.

Well, my Thanksgiving was great. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving too!

No-Effort Outfits

Forever21 sweater dress, Steven Madden round-toe patent pumps, Chanel quilted classic handbag

My mom dressed me from baby times until I was 10 years old. It wasn't until I was in 5th grade that when I asked her for the millionth time, "can I pick out what I wear tomorrow?" that she finally said YES. Geez way to stifle my creativity, Mom. JKJK.

So starting that day in 5th grade, I'd carefully plan out my outfits the night before and lay out what I would wear the next day. I even did this through highschool, despite having to wear a uniform (do I want to wear my sweater vest with my navy pleated skirt, or my khaki one?).

Well, I don't do that anymore because I'd rather watch Gossip Girl than think about what I will wear tomorrow. As a result, I'm often harried and frantic in the morning, trying on and taking off outfits, making coffee, making these damned bangs behave, and getting the dogs outside to poop.

It's times like these that I rely on these No-Effort Outfits. Dress + Shoes. That's it. I don't even have to put on pants. Boring? Maybe. Lazy? Definitely. Can't argue with that.

ATTACK!

Old Navy chiffon top, Erin Featherstone for Target tulip skirt, Saks 5th Ave shoes, Urban Outfitters necklace


Zara shirt, Club Monaco Sweater, Diesel Jeans, Gucci loafers, Sinn Watch


Several guest appearances in this entry. Tu later changed shoes because he "wore them in the other picture of me," but this picture came out better haha.

So these new shoes are THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE THINGS EVER. My feet are pretty much immune to any pain. An avid unnecessarily-high heel wearer since college, my toes are permanently molded into pointy-toe shape and my heels no longer blister from new shoes. So...if I tell you they hurt, they REALLY HURT.

4-inch heels? Piece of cake. Patent leather? Bring it on! 4-inch heels + brand new patent leather + wearing them for over 5 hours = take your shoes off at the club and have your boyfriend carry you to the car. By the way, wearing a tulip skirt makes for awkward piggy back rides b/c your legs can only move 4 inches away from each other.

But they look pretty. I will wear again soon.

Robin Hood

James Perse shirt, Target leggings, Michael Kors boots, H&M scarf, Urban Outfitters necklace


My first time experimenting with over-the-knee boots and I am totally loving it. I love how more of your leg is covered by boots than by legging. I don't know, I just like the proportion. It makes your legs look super long too!

The boots + my shirt reminds me of Robin Hood.


I wore these boots to watch Twilight. Yes, Twilight was just as bad/awesome as you think it is. Edward Cullen needs to never take off those Wayfarers. And also never stop staring at me intensely/seeing into my soul.

Sheaths

Forever21 dress, Sam Edelman bow pumps, Banana Republic multi-strand necklace





I've been really into sheath dresses lately. Especially black ones. So classic and clean. They make me feel a little bit Audrey Hepburn-ish, a little bit High-Powered Marketing Executive-ish.

I like this one because the darts in the front of the skirt can help hide the fact that you ate 2 slices of cake at lunch.
