Outfit of the Day: Procrastinator

I have a big project due tomorrow and instead of working on that, I decided that I should post this up.

Sweater (Forever21)

Chiffon Button-up Top (FULL TILT)

Plaid Shorts (Forever 21)

Wedge Sneakers (MIA)

Tights (HUE)

Q's mom gave me a Forever21 gift card for Christmas and I used that to purchase the sweater and shorts. I got them both in January when Forever21 was having their winter sale. Later on, they put their clearance section up with a 50% off discount and I kind of regretted not waiting for that but at least I had these items earlier and I was already wearing them before they put it up for cheaper.

I really wanted to crop the photo to hide our unmaintained backyard but I really wanted to show the tights and shoes. I love HUE tights because the fit is fantastic. Also, the material is very comfortable and doesn't collect dust or lint. I also like how some of my skin color show through the tights. I had the shoes for a while but I haven't really worn them till this day. They're comfortable but still not recommended for extended use. By extended use, I mean about two hours of walking and five hours of sitting on a coffee shop high chair that's not made for short people like me. By the end of the day, my feet and legs hurt so bad that I ended up passing out.

Anyways, it's really time for me to be working on some school stuff.

9/8/14 Outfit of the Day: Do I Look Like a B*tch?

I find it really hard to look good in this heat. California is being swept away by a heat wave and as a sweater-weather fan, I barely have the clothes for it. Good thing I scored this department store Pulp Fiction shirt during my trip in the Philippines.

It was actually a men's shirt but I cut the sleeves off and voila! Instant muscle tee! I always find myself in the men's section wishing that the designs available to them can be found in the women's too but nope. But! If you don't mind grabbing a pair of scissors and customizing some shirts, there's a ton of really soft men's graphic tees at Target that only cost $12 or so that you can do fun things with.

I like crop tops too but I don't like them with low-waisted shorts. That's why I didn't really mess with the length of the shirt anymore. That way, I can tuck them in high-waisted shorts or leave them be when I'm wearing regular or low-waisted shorts.

The shirt-shorts combo is pretty desaturated so to liven it up a bit, I wore the Wet N' Wild Bordeaux Balm Stain again and partnered it with my red Keds Rookie Loop-de-Loop sneakers. I could have debuted my red Doc Martens with this outfit too but the heat was too intense. I don't think my feet would have appreciated getting shoved into some patent lamper leather in 100-degree heat.

And for more attitude, I wore my metal-accented cateye sunglasses. I was really hesitant to get cateye sunglasses since they tend to be round. (Tip: If you have a round face and you want to reduce the fullness, go for angular frames! The straightness of the shape should offset the curves.) But I gave no effs and went for it.

A friend told me that these sunnies have so much attitude that it makes me look cattish (Well, they are...CATeye sunnies.) than I already do and that I should wear it when I don't want people to approach me at all. But really though.

I hope not.
