Mean Streak

October 16, 2014

Dress TBDress/ Shoes Steve Madden / Lipstick YSL

We’ve all got a little mean in us…

The color black is a must in my moodier outfit ensembles. I like to pair it with fun, bold accessories, and a dash of daring. Thanks to TBDRess for making this fun post possible! As soon as this dress came in the mail, a million different pairing ideas flashed through my mind. For this look, I decided to play up my mean streak. I love the slimming effect that the white stripe has, and the overall minimal, sleek look of the dress.

Whimsical Rose

Skirt Forever 21/ Bag LV / Sweater UO / Bracelet Pandora

It’s the beginning to another lovely, warm week!

I took a stroll in a lovely flower garden, wearing a new rose-colored sweater that I am so excited to pair with future outfits. Dusty rose is probably one of my favorite clothing colors. It’s so feminine without being overbearing or too vivid. Recently, I’ve been all about the cute details. One of my favorite accessories has been my Pandora charm bracelet. I bought an adorable pink heart charm to represent my adventure in Boston, and I love seeing it on my wrist- a constant reminder of happy memories.

Dress Forever 21/ Wallet Coach/ Flannel UO

Recently, I’ve been trying to explore my city more. Palo Alto is right in the middle of Silicon Valley, is home of Stanford University, and is headquarter and an incubator of many companies such as Tesla, Google, Hewlett Packard. I am always complaining about living in the suburbs, but honestly there are so many aspects of Palo Alto that I have yet to discover! Even just visiting and being in Stanford campus makes me feel like I’ve entered a completely new world and atmosphere. I can’t believe I just forget that I’m living right next to one of the best universities in the world!

Bordeaux

Dress Bordeaux/ Lipgloss YSL / Watch Skagen

I managed to get a lip gloss stain on this dress my first time wearing it…how typical!

Well, this outfit is pretty representative of my outlook on life right now. I will try…minimally, but I really unable to throw too much energy into anything right now. I think a surefire way of sensing my mood is based on how much I smile, because I’m normally always smiling. I do hit certain points where it just feels like I have to make an extra effort to twist my lips into a grin (something that usually feels so comfortable and habitual.) Everything feels a bit bleak right now, but I’m hoping things will turn around soon. Until then, I’ll keep trying…. minimally…

I’ve been on the lookout for more geometric shirts and dresses. I love the thick material of this dress and the crisp lines. Its not very obvious in the photos, but the cut by the shoulders has small black leather detailing, which I think totally completes the dress.
