Pug Life

     You can't see it...but my t-shirt says "Pug Life"! I love this shirt from Macy's (clearance for about $4) and found it in the men's section a while back. I couldn't resist and I admit that it really doesn't hurt to plow through the men's section for cool graphic tees once in a while. This jacket was also from the men's department in Taiwan. Three of my four jackets I purchased there are actually men's- they just seemed to fit better. The plaid sleeves really caught my attention and it's definitely one of my favorites in my closet right now. The circle skirt from F21 I'm wearing has been featured before many times (like here) and I thought it'd be a cute duo with the graphic tee. 

     Since it's half-Winter and half-Spring in the beautiful city of San Francisco, I threw on some knee high socks from H&M to keep my legs warm from the cold wind. Topped it off with my go-to black Jessica Simpson pumps and you're ready to go for a girls night out :)   

 

Black & (Mustard) Yellow

     I been wanting a leather (pleather) skirt for such a long time and I finally had time to really go look for one this past week! I had a one hour shopping break from finals and I needed to de-stress...at the mall.
     This look was pretty straight forward. The focus was to be on this Forever 21 asymmetrical skirt. The zipper detailing really caught my eye and for this skirt, I actually went a size up (small to medium) just because I didn't want it to be too short. The top is also from Forever 21 and it's a F21 Basic that was priced at about $7! Such a steal for a beautifully colored turtleneck. I've worn this countless time over the course of 3 years (yes, I've had it for that long) and it hasn't faded or pilled- I am impressed :)
     Threw on a scarf because it wasn't too cold, but it was windy. This scarf was a hand-me-down so I'm not particularly sure where it's from, but I found similar ones here. I don't know about you guys, but I tuck my hair into my scarves when it gets windy to keep it from flying everywhere! Seeing that it was an unusually sunny day in SF, I welcomed my Ray Bans back (also featured here with Mickey Mouse). Keeping the pleather theme, my Jessica Simpson pumps were the quintessential piece to finish the look.

Keeping myself cozy

I felt like a bumblebee here with no scarf!

Menswear!

     The selection of menswear button up shirts are definitely more diverse than women's- that's why sometimes I enjoy shopping in the men's (usually sale ;) ) section! I just feel like there is a lot more diversity & options to choose from.

     I came across this comfy cotton button up from VANS and fell for the big, bold colors! Maroon and purple have really been catching my eye lately especially for the Fall season. Wanted to go comfortable for the weekend so I paired it with outside stitched leggings from 2020ave and an oversized tank from hurley with a black lace bandeau from Nordstrom Rack (great for brand name clothes at a discount price). Since we were wandering around and exploring the area, I opted for climbing and adventuring with combat boots! These ones are super durable, chic, and only around $20 at Marshalls! And to top it off (harhar) I threw a basic black beanie from F21on because as usual, I never know what to do with my not-long-not-short hair. 

     Anyhow, this look is perfect for venturing out to the middle of no where and for fun adventures whenever you're out and about! Happy wandering!

It's Halloween!

     Happy Hallows Eve everyone! This year Halloween (unfortunately) fell on midterms week meaning I didn't have much time to put together a costume but no worries! There is always something in your closet that can become a costume! I definitely went to the mall this morning before class and bought this shirt haha. But otherwise, everything else was from my own closet!

From my feet going upwards to my head...
My shoes are from madewell and I love these so much! I fell in love with them so much that I have them in two colors: red and black.
The socks were from an old costume a couple years back, I think I was a nurse of some sort... But anyway, these thigh high socks are from the spirit halloween store (around $5).
The skirt is actually from J. Crew last season and you'll actually see me wear this skirt quite often in the winter time. I also loved this piece so much I have it in two colors (pink and navy blue).
My cute red and white crop top I found at Forever 21 for under $10 and I could definitely re-wear this piece with high-waisted anything!
Though Waldo's beanie is red and white striped- I made do with what I had and what I had was a red beanie! This piece is actually a men's beanie I found at H&M last season and since my favorite color is red, I had to have it! I'm glad it came in handy for Halloween :)

So many stripes! 

Hiding behind alleyways and stairs!

Bow shoes (I can totally see this being used for a Dorothy from Wizard of Oz costume!)
