The Return of Outfit Posts

After my long blogging hiatus to focus on personal academic goals I have returned with an outfit that I wore shortly after my last outfit post. I'm not sure how much longer outfit posts will continue because I will be starting school again in August for the next three years. Hopefully this blog will become an outlet for me while I am in school to connect with all my family and friends living other parts of the country. I can't wait to show you all of the new clothing, inspiration, makeup and other adventures that happened during my time away from the blog. So make sure to check back often to see my new posts.

I wore this outfit to my cousin's wedding in late October. It was a gorgeous Chinese themed wedding that paid homage to the groom's heritage. The bride was gorgeous in a traditional white wedding dress followed by a traditional Chinese red dress.

I bought this dress because I loved the bright color combination along with the bow in the back. Thankfully it has a hidden support system or the dress never would have stayed in place while dancing all night. I was extremely happy that I choose to wear plastic shoes because of heavy rains the night before that transformed most of the ground into mud. Any other pair of shoes would have been  thoroughly ruined but these were sparkling after a quick hosing.

The wedding was over an hours drive away meaning that we didn't have much time to get ready before we hopped in the car so I was forced to do my makeup in the car. Early in the day I bought false eyelashes with the hope I could figure out how to put them on myself, even though I have never attempted it before. Since I ended up putting all my makeup on in the car my sister Jessica was able to successfully put them on during the car ride! She didn't even poke my eye out! That is serious talent my friends! So if you need help putting on false eyelashes and happen to be in a moving car then please call my sister up so she can apply them. (Excuse the crappy picture, it was dark by the time I got around to documenting the eyelashes and I was also suffering from a horrible cold that kept me sneezing all night.)

Heat Wave

It is soooo hot in LA! I happen to live in the Valley which happens to be one of the hottest parts of LA and it's been over 100 since Saturday! YIKES I am not meant for this kind of weather! I had events that forced me to be outside so I couldn't even stay inside all weekend with the nice air conditioner. At least the rest of the week I will be inside all day, which is good since it's suppose to be even hotter than it was during the weekend.

This is what I wore Sunday morning because it is loose and 100% silk. Everything else that was clean was way to hot to wear. But I LOVE this dress! It was the first thing that I snapped up at the garage sale. How could you pass up a 100% silk Marc Jacobs dress for under $20?!?!?!?! Seriously!!!! I'm terrified that something is going to happen to it so I am trying to be extremely careful with it (but I've already worn it twice!)


Dress: Marc Jacobs, garage sale
Shoes: Aldo
Glasses: Juicy
Purse: Coach
Belt: Random grey tie belt

Cool Blue Reason

This outfit was so hard to photograph, that's why I only have one picture for this post! I wore this to work today because I couldn't think of anything else to wear and these are my favorite tights! I ended up going a little overboard on the matchy matchy today but it's not overwhelming.

I am very excited for this weekend because it is my mom's family's annual picnic! My mom is making a traditional Danish dish called Rullepølse and there will be tons of other super yummy foods. I always look forward to the picnic because I love to catch up with all of my family.

p.s. Did anyone watch the office tonight? It is one of my FAVORITE tv shows ever! I thought that the premiere was actually pretty funny because most of last season was not that great.
