Candy Shop

When I put together this outfit, I thought about combining classics - the striped shirt - and Spring pastels - the mint jeans. I added the necklace, something I made in Chinese school in a macrame class, as a fun pop of fruity pink. The colors in this outfit remind me of cotton candy or a candy store! I spotted this denim jacket in my grandmother's room and I asked her where she had found it. This is one of her secondhand store finds! I really like how it balances out the outfit and tones down the colors. Its length helps coordinate the pieces together.


Outfit details: Jacket: Secondhand / Shirt: Gap / Jeans: American Eagle / Shoes: Sperry / Necklace: Handmade 



I just love Spring colors :) 

A quote for your day:
Found on Tumblr

I've been doing a lot of reading for pleasure lately, and this quote reminded me of the books - it's a great motivational quote. 

Have a beautiful Spring day!

Be the Boss

As I'm maturing and having to wear business formal attire on different occasions (this was for a science fair) I can't help but think about how I'll probably wear clothing like this every day when I'm an adult! 


Outfit details: Blazer: J. Crew / Blouse: LOFT / Pants: LOFT / Flats: Libby Edelman via Lord and Taylor / Scarf: Adrienne Landau (gifted) / Earrings: Anthropologie / Necklace: Forever 21 

My favorite thing about this outfit was how comfortable it was. I love clothes that are both functional and fashionable! 






In this outfit, I'm wearing the scarf from my grandmother. Here's a photo of me and my grandmother at my birthday lunch. I wear this scarf so often because it matches everything! My grandmother definitely has good sense. I don't have many photos of her when she was younger, but I can tell she was quite beautiful :)




The outfit I wore reminded me of a picture I saw on Pinterest. 

I like how this contradicts established norms and has a really independent tone to it.
 
 
I'll be showing another business formal outfit next week from another science fair! Hope you're having an awesome day and remember my quote: Wear whatever you want, be yourself, think, and be the boss!
