Frilly Thrills - Mixing Neutrals OOTD

Hey guys! Thanksgiving break is now officially over and I hope you guys had a wonderful time eating, giving thanks, and let's not forget about Black Friday (if you want to see my haul, go check out my YouTube channel)!

Anyways, today is a somewhat different kind of Outfit of the Day. Hmm. Let's get into it.

Okay, so I adore this top! It's on the longer side, so I can wear it in a kind of tunic style- which means I think its an OK situation to wear leggings with! Its also pretty plain up to- and then has lots of frills at the waistline... which I love- it creates a more curvy figure. It reminds me of the huge peplum trend, though in a more girly, young way.

I wore a long necklace along with a belt with this top... The belt cinches in the waist and I love the golden hardware- it gives a somewhat edgier vibe.
The long necklace also streamlines the look while tying in all the neutrals (I wore brown, black, and grey in a variation of tones in this outfit) because of the colors. It's a beautiful piece!

I wore this with a nice black structured bag that has a cool texture- it's really simple and it goes well with this outfit in my opinion.

The shoes I wore were black riding-boot style boots.. I like them because they have great simplicity and the combination of tall black boots with leggings makes my legs seem slimmer and longer!

And finally, for bracelets..I added a touch of color with my red bracelet, but stuck with some neutrals I wore with the other two.

ITEMS FEATURED:
Shirt-Gap
Leggings-Target
Purse- ElCanto Collection (Korea)
Belt- Betsey Johnson
Necklace- Gift
Boots- Eteinne Aigner
Gold/Cream Bracelet- Banana Republic
Diamond Bracelet- Gift
True Love Red Bracelet- BCBGeneration

Thanksgiving...

I hope you guys all had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday.

I am thankful for a lot of things :) There is no such thing as not being thankful- everyone has at least one thing to be thankful for.

For instance, being alive- being able to read these words on the screen of your computer. I'm very grateful and blessed to have an oppurtunity to live this life and have a family and friends that I care about.

Even things you wouldn't think about are things that people should be grateful for, because some people may not have those things.

Some people don't have a warm bed to sleep in, clothes, shoes, a home, food, water.

I'm grateful for all these things.

Thanks to all of you for sticking with me! There will be more posts up soon, and maybe even a new blog is coming along the way? Stay tuned!

In the meanwhile...

What are you thankful for?

Matchy Matchy - Art Spirit OOTD

Hey guys! :) So this is now Thanksgiving break, so I'll try upload all the OOTDs I have stored for you. :) Happy Thanksgiving! :D

So as you might know, I'm part of many extracurriculurs- and Art is one of them! The outfit I wore was for spirit day for Art and let me just say it matches A LOT. 

Yup.

My shirt is just a plain white tee shirt with red lining on the sleeves and neck which makes it cute and unique. Obviously, it says ART in a big white, red, yellow color scheme, which I incorporated later throughout the outfit.

I went with a simple necklace- black and silver beads with a longhorn charm to add a bit of simplicity.

For bracelets, I went with a different array of beaded ones- cranberry red, red, and golden, which all went very well with the whole color scheme... You can't notice it, but it also has some white and silver beads as well- which go well with the necklace!

And for bottoms? I went with red skinny jeans- yes matching overload. And my favorite pair of chalkboard-style converse which have been worn for soooooooo long they have this classic beaten up effect that I actually really enjoy for an outfit such as this. :)

Anyways. Pretty simple, mundane in fact. I'm considering where Chochalistas is going to go, actually. I'm considering labeling this a more of a casual lifestyle blog. If I title this a fashion, or beauty, blog, then I feel like I have to make it very professional- and as you can see, I've been keeping this pretty low key.

Anyways, that was today's post. Be expecting more! I should have more beauty-related posts up too, like reviews.

Bye for now, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Gradient Blue - Themed OOTD

Hey guys! So sorry. Been lazy with my updates. :) Today I had a themed outfit, color blue. I think as the days get cooler, the color blue is a way to translate the temperature into fashion!

So on top, I wore a simple blue cami and threw a long blue-gray cardigan over it with a blue-white-grey paisley scarf to give it a more warm, school-appropriate touch. I thought it was a great way to incorporate a monochromatic color scheme in a stylish way without being too washed out blue. I mean, its a mixing of patterns- paisley, stripes, solid, but I think the monochromatic color scheme makes it appropriate. 

I wore this with simple blue jeans and my always appearing white-gold bracelet to somewhat contrast the look.

Anyways, thank you guys for sticking with me. :)

Ivy League Love- Midterms Casual OOTD

With midterms and end-of-semester tests coming up, everyone's been getting so stressed. During these times, I love to just go into the casual attire.. especially the with cold weather, casual is really easy to pull off in a cute way.

So I didn't name this post Ivy League love without a reason! Today the shirt I have on is a thermal/sweater with the lettering- Cornell in big red letters down the side. Since it's a thermal/sweater it's really warm and I love how the lettering goes down the side- it lengthens the body a lot. Cornell is an Ivy league that I used to live really near up in New York!

Warning. This is a pretty casual outfit! :D Hehe. I love casual. So for my bottoms, I went with some classic black leggings. 

Leggings. Hm. One of the biggest fashion style controversies. Is it a do or don't to wear leggings as pants? For the longest time, I was like "don't, don't, don't". But I think, if worn in the right way, and in a classy way, some people can pull it off. As casual attire it definitely works- I think it would've been cuter if these leggings were white-and-black tribal print (I have yet to find such leggings such as those) but classic black works with color scheme of black-red-white, as there are black borders around the Cornell red lettering. 

The Cornell thermal/sweater is long, so I thought it was acceptable to wear with leggings. As long as the shirt/sweater you're wearing covers your bottom, I think leggings are not too indecent to wear. 

To add some edge and trend to an otherwise laid back look, I threw a leather jacket on, it has silver zippers and detailing, which I adore, and it's red- which definitely goes with the color scheme and adds some warmth to the look! It's also a very unexpected color compared to black and brown leather jackets.

The following are the accessories I wore with this- re-used pictures, sorry guys! Anyways, pretty self explanatory, red and matching as always.

\

For shoes, I AGAIN wore my Tommy Hilfiger boots. One thing you will notice about me is that I love to rewear items. I dunno. I believe in purchasing quality material and wearing it over and over again. I wear em out (: I love wearing black boots with black leggings because it really lengthens the legs.

Shirt- Cornell

Leggings- Target

Necklace- Claire's

Bracelet- BCBGeneration

Boots- Tommy Hilfiger

Jacket- JouJou (TJMaxx)

I'm kind of not in schedule, but hopefully I will get back into it!

If any of you are having midterms soon, good luck!!

Back to studying..

Minty Sweet - Fall Festivals OOTD

SOOOOOO. T'is the weekend! On the weekend, I'm as busy as I am on the weekdays. I have Korean school in the morning and I usually have volunteer opps later. Today I volunteered at a fall festival, which was super fun, and I got 3 hours of volunteer service woop woop! :D
Anyways. I really really liked this outfit because it had that kinda spring feel because mint was all the rad in the springtime yet I inverted it to a fall feel with the jeans and scarves and boots and - well let's just get into it shall we?

On top, I wore a classic mint green sweater, this is a greattt piece, it's very soft and warm, especially since I had to stand outside in the cold for like 3 hours! I wore a white scarf over this- the white and mint blend very well since they are both more cool toned. The scarf adds a somewhat touch of delicacy and feminine sweetness to the look, as it is open knit and trails down a lot because of its tassels.

Here is the scarf in closer detail.^^

To add some warmth to this outfit I also layered a very warm cashmere beret style beanie. It's a camel color which will show up later in the outfit. Color scheme of this outfit? Almost forgot. Variations of blue (mint and dark blue later on), and today, I mixed neutrals- mostly browns/golds, and black and white as you saw.

I also wore a crossbody bag- have tons of stuff to carry and wanna do it in comfort! This is a gold color, which goes great with the camel colored hat I wore. What I like about this bag is that it's kind of metallic so it's cool and warm toned at the same time (metallics are cool, while gold is a warm color).

The jeans I wore were a nice sophisticated dark blue which really went because the contrasting color of blue is yellow, and brown and gold are just variations of that color so it fit perfectly.

I just wore this bracelet as well- the famous cream/gold one I always wear way too much to tie the look together. The gold is perfect. Perfect piece, really :D

And for shoes, I just re-wore the boots I wore yesterday, the black Tommy Hilfiger ones. I thought they contrasted nicely with the white scarf so it really seals the look in- white on top, black on bottom.
I was going to wear brown boots- I have tall heeled ones or chunky booties from Bass but I haven't dug out all the winter shoes yet, which I really should do.

Sweater- Forever 21
Scarf- Unknown
Jeans- Rewind
Purse- Kipling
Hat- TJMaxx
Bracelet- Banana Republic
Boots- Tommy Hilfiger

I hope you guys are really getting into the fall feeling as much as I am :D I love fall!

Homecoming Spirit Week! - Friday - Class Colors

So today was the theme of class colors. I'm Class of 2016 (freshman.). Our class color?

Grey. YEAH. Out of all colors. But I can work with it. :) Plus, I think it changes every year, so next year, hopefully our color will be more exciting. :D

Anyways, I was going to go with a grey shirt and red pants so it would really pop. But today was the real bite of first chilly fall air, and it went down to the 60s from the usual 80s and 70s (sometimes 90s!). It was cloudy all day- and it's a weird thing of mine, but I like to mimic the weather. I take cues and inspiration from nature!

So I kind of mixed grey and black into my outfit and threw in a pop of color in the form of red- you might be like, Angela, you're too obsessed with red.
I think it's a really powerful color and a great color to utilize in the fall. :)

Anyways the basics of what I wore was a REALLY comfortable sweatshirt/hoodie (I'm in love. It is so warm and fuzzy) with black stovepipe jeans.

The boots I wore are black leather boots from Tommy Hilfiger that go up mid-calf, with a low heel. It blends in with my black skinnies so it streamlines the look- which I was going for, because the hoodie is so loose on the top, I like to go more tight on the bottom. I would've worn leggings, but I decided jeans would be better on a cold day.

Another reason why I chose these jeans were- LOOK AT THIS POCKET DETAILING. You can't see very well (because my camera quality sucks)but it has silver accents- and AS YOU KNOW, I LOVE TO MATCH. So my color scheme is grey-black-red, and I was able to incorporate grey in the form of silver on my pants :)

My sweater was like my absolute FAVORITE PART. Cuz it's super warm, cozy and fuzzy. It's still comfy chic as it has cute buttons and a nice classic quality about it. I really love the whole comfy cool look for fall. I dunno, just me? Anyways. Pretty self explanatory.

This is another repeated jewelry piece, my red bracelet with the silver lettering TRUE LOVE. Adorable haha. Reminds me of how fall is the cuddling season... #foreveralone.
Anyways, this is the pop of color to my outfit, plus the silver matches my grey! PERFECTO. It gets even better.

My necklace is a red heart necklace, a friendship necklace actually that I've had for a long time, you guys will see this a lot, I over- wear it way too much!
It also creates that pop of red and I love how it peeks out under the hoodie. The silver chain also adds to the grey scheme.
You can also see the blue-white hood, which I absolutely adore because it gives it a fresh, nautical, preppy vibe.

Another way I styled this look was pairing this silver-white scarf over the sweater, which gives it an AWESOME look- kind of reminds me of icicles and snow and coldness, and it's just so fresh. :)

Sweater- Abercrombie and Fitch
Jeans- Arizona
Necklace- Claire's
Bracelet- BCBGeneration
Boots- Tommy Hilfiger
Scarf- Forever 21

Anyways. That's how I styled my look- which could be considered a very.. lazy day look hahaha.

Homecoming week is now done, but I shall continue to try to upload an OOTD on an almost-daily basis! Unfortunately, this year, there's no homecoming dance. And the homecoming game- we WON. YAY :D

Love all you.
