July '14 Clothing Haul (H&M, ROSS, FOREVER21)

July has been quite a busy month for me (I got a job yay) and hopefully August will be busy as well. I went shopping (gotta reward myself for hard work yo) and found a few items.

So let's start off with what I bought from H&M~

White Lace Crop Top + Black Lace Crop Top 

I lovee the design with the lace and solid texture on the sides

I saw these tops for $5 each in the sale section (because that's basically the only place I'll buy clothes) and urgg,
 lace plus crop top?? Yesyesyes.

Can't wait to wear them with high waisted pants! I got them a size up so they were more comfortable and a bit longer.

One Piece Leotard??

 This shirt is so form fitting that I feel a bit uncomfortable =3= but I thought this would be a nice as a normal t-shirt since I always get annoyed with excess fabric bunching up when I try to tuck shirts inside pants.

There are buttons on the crotch area for bathroom convenience so I kinda feel like a baby in a onesie . . .

 Ok so I didn't actually buy the sweater and skirt but I thought they were nice.
The cropped sweater was really cute, but even size small was too chunky and long on the arms. I look like a square wtf. The skirt wasn't high waisted enough and the fabric was too thin.

Black Bomber Jacket

My fave~ Such a nice jacket ;o; Thin and slightly baggy for a comfortable look/feel.


Over the weekend I went to the States and found 2 items from ROSS.

BOZZOLO White Shirt w/ Mesh Stripes

 Ever since I saw these shirts for sale on the EMODA website, I've been in loveee with the look. I think the horizontal stripes/sports shirt look is really cute and sporty . . even though I don't like anything sports related. Other than sports anime but that's completely different ;o;

IRIS JEANS Acid Wash High Waist Jeans

This is the second time I've bought Iris Jeans from Ross. 1st pair here. I've been wanting grey acid wash jeans for awhile now. The quality of the jeans is great and they feel very comfortable and stretchy.

pls excuse the messy room 

Then I went to Forever21 to get some basics. After watching this video by xteeener on Youtube, I decided to buy a nude cami to cover up while wearing annoying sheer clothing.

White t-shirt, nude cami + grey hat

Cheap basic clothing at F21. Less than $4 each for everything above~
The hat looks horrible on me btw idk maybe it's my nasty hair

Usually I don't buy so much clothing -_- but everything was less than $12 each and there are so many sales going on!! =3=

 

OOTD - [Lazy Day] Casual Summer Outfit #1

I had to go out for a few hours so I decided to wear a simple outfit that covered all of my skin to protect myself from the sun. (also because on that day I was too lazy to wear sunscreen)

Why am I doing some sort of chicken pose lol . . next to chicken wire also -_-

I rolled my pants above my ankles for a more summery look~

O O T D

Grey Cardigan - Bluenotes

Tank Top - Danskin

Burgundy Pants - Decree

Black Shoes - Urban Behavior

First time taking pictures outside . . . obviously I haven't quite gotten this figured out yet. Perching my camera + tripod on a small surface while using the self timer is precarious business.
So yeah, sorry for overexposed photos from super bright sunlight (& awkward poses), but I guess they do give a nice glowy effect.

The weather these days has been blazing hot. Wearing long sleeves seems like a good idea for extra sun protection until you start sweating . . but I persevered. I am determined not to tan this summer!!

OOTD - Crop tops! 6.30.14

Apparently crop tops are quite popular now because when I went to Forever21 & H&M I couldn't find my size! =o=

I'm surprisingly into crop tops now, but I'm not sure if I want to buy them because I would probably only wear them with high waist pants & I don't have many of those. Also, I'd feel a bit self conscious about my stomach after I eat/drink.

@Forever21

 I actually don't mind how the larger size looks on me (since it covers more of my stomach), but I want a smaller neckline so I'll probably go back some other time & see if they have my size.

Hmm... I want a shirt that is just below the belly button. I really can't stand wearing long shirts because they make me look shorter than I already am.

@H&M

Jeans - Reitmans / Shoes - Converse

On a sort of side note . . crop tops make your chest look bigger 

I'm looking at these photos and thinking...I look so short!! why!! well I actually am short but I feel like the angles at which I took these photos made me look even shorter TT-TT

I rushed these pictures quickly because I went to watch Transformers: Age of Extinction in 3D w/ my friend & she wanted to play Time Play (which is SUPER LAME BTW!!).

The movie was really good! I loved the animation but I'm not sure why the father-daughter relationship part seemed forced. I don't know how to explain it, but it was a bit corny haha

Is grey or black better?? Should I get both? ahh

OOTD No1 6.20.14

Another outfit of the day post! I'm still trying to figure out a location to do OOTD posts at home, but no luck yet. I rarely go out but when I do, I'll make an effort to take pictures~

Despite it almost being July, the weather is actually pretty mild right now so I'm still able to wear long sleeves without sweating ~

@H&M - My friend actually inspires me to wear lighter colored clothing 

Taking pictures with a tall person sucks because my face is still in the picture wtf

Taking pictures in Forever21's changing rooms~

Tank Top - Ocasion

Cardigan - BDG

High Waist Distressed Jeans - Iris Jeans (x)

Shoes - Converse

June 9th wedding + OOTD

On June 9th, I attended my cousin's wedding~  It was a small and simple wedding with the ceremony at a park on a sunny day. The bride looked gorgeous ;o;

It was a beautiful wedding and I was able to take some nice photos, so here they are~ 

 WHO BRINGS STARBUCKS TO A WEDDING?? LOL
