hey, i think you're kind of cute, do you wanna be my new best friend?

I love clothes, and fashion, and dressing up for so many reasons! One of them is that it gives you the ability to manipulate your mind into thinking something. It can allow you to ignite certain feelings and attitudes, such as confidence and enthusiasm, which is really fascinating to me. Anyways, in this outfit, I basically tricked my brain into thinking that it was summer (and you know what? Minus the snow, and ice, and cold weather, and winds, and whatever else makes "winter" winter, it was practically summer!) and everything seemed so much brighter! So props bright clothes, you made the sun shine within my heart internally (cheesy overdose was intentional, just in case you were wondering if I was some radical philosophical thinker. Obviously, I could be...). This outfit is kind of like the winter version of what I was wearing here.

Apparently when I laugh, my eyes are super small. Hail, hail to my chinky-ness (translation: Chinese-ness. I'm Asian, I'm allowed to make fun of my own eyes).



Details: sadly, these white tights are shredding up into pieces...

(Blazer - Value Village $7, Blue Dress - Thrifted $1, Skirt - Pacific Mall $10, Tights - H&M $5)

Oh, and I know that I don't usually post editorials/ designers' collections / etc, etc. Mostly because I'll likely find myself randomly adding fashion-y terms like, "ooh, yes, the designer's ominous view juxtaposed with the blah blah blah" and it might be a little dreadful for you all (ie WTF IS SHE TALKING ABOUT?). Okay, little intro aside, I had to post some of these works by Amy Thompson. SO AMAZING. I'll let the pictures do the talking (ha, yes, that sounds good!)...

I'd wear any of those in a heartbeat. Beautiful. More looks of hers over here.

And, finally, if any of you are die-hard Twitter followers (hail, hail!) than you may have realized some agitated tweets of mine regarding my current sewing project. Luckily, I'm practically almost done. So here's a sneak peek (because I don't know how you upload photos to Twitter. Question: how do you upload photos to Twitter?)...

I'll definitely have MUCH better photos (cough: not an-in-motion-photobooth-picture) soon, so come back soon! (Hah, I'm so sneaky, getting y'all riled up to continually visit my blog. I strategize, ladies and gents.)

Okay, sorry that this post was kind of all over the place! Um, I kind of don't have an excuse for that. Maybe my brain's not working due to the lack of school work? Hmm. Anyways, thanks so much for stopping by! :) I'll visit your blogs asap.
