Beautiful, Bold, Brocade



Top (Mama Nguyen's Vintage), Brocade Pant (7 For All Mankind), Heels (Steve Madden), Purse (Badgley Mischka), Necklace (Saks Off 5th)


What's better than retail therapy to relieve stress during exam week, am I right ladies and gents? So during my "session", I wandered into the White Room at Hudson's Bay and found these beautiful brocade pants. I instantly fell in love with them and quickly made a purchase - no questions asked. The color pairing of these pants allow the print to appear more subtle from afar making it versatile. And if you haven't noticed by now, versatility is an important purchasing factor for me. Especially because I've been leaning towards adding more classic pieces to my wardrobe versus fast fashion. Even if it means spending a little bit more money for the quality considering I'll be saving money in the long run.

Ps. I actually paid $50 for these pants instead of $200 (no shame here)! Who else loves a good deal?

Something Borrowed




Dress (Market in Vietnam), Men's Leather Jacket (Vintage Versace), Shoes (Converse)

While in search of the perfect leather jacket, I decided to raid my step dad's closet to borrow one of his. When I laid my eyes on this baby... I knew it'd be the perfect garment to complete my laid back outfit. You're probably thinking "that's considered laid back"? Why yes, yes it is - this is my take on a laid back outfit. Being able to throw something on without having to put too much thought into what colors coordinate and what tops or bottoms match is so effortlessly convenient. Don't get me wrong, I do love prepping my outfit the night before but... Actually, there's really no excuse other than laziness gets the best of me sometimes. But hey, at least I've been able to avoid throwing on a pair of sweatpants! Mr. Karl Lagerfeld would be proud.
