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.

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.

Homecoming Spirit Week! - Thursday - Nerd Day

So, yesterday, it was Nerd Day! Time to embrace the inner nerd - I am one already  ;D 

Anyways I was kinda curious.. what do the actual legit nerds think of this? 

(Wednesday was Superhero Day, which I skipped out on because I didn't have anything remotely super hero like).

This outfit consists of nerdy chic. It actually is really a cool and preppy style lately- which blows my mind, in a good way :D

Some people went all out nerd with suspenders and everything but I decided to keep it in a way that was still- I dunno, realistic?

So these glasses as you can see- are pretty awesome. Haha they're basically sunglasses that I popped the lenses out of. I really liked the style actually- I might wanna get nerd glasses as prescription! Anyways, as you can see, they're really big classic black frames with hot pink sides- which you will see will be tied in later in the rest of the outfit- can't forget my OCD matching!

As you can see, I just left my hair in a messy ponytail. I wore a dress shirt that was light pin-striped blue, which you can't really see in the picture.. I don't know if you can see, but there is also the Hollister logo on the pocket, which is a slight reddish color. You will see shades of red and pink throughout this outfit; I did not just match a single shade of pink and single shade of blue, but the color scheme this time is rather variations of blue x variations of pink/red. 

You can see the dress shirt more clearly in this shirt. I tucked it in, but in the back I left it out to give it a messy touch and create an illusion of a high low hem to give it a modern touch. I rolled up the sleeves and left some buttons some open to give it a pulled together classic-modern-preppy look. I wore a brown belt on my straight leg blue jeans to add some warmth to the look - since pink/red is a warmer tone it matched quite well. It also contains silver so it will match my necklace (shown later) and match the cool tone of the blue of the dress shirt. 

I wore the same bracelet as I did on Monday, you will see I re-wear jewelry pieces A LOT. Especially bracelets, since I have a limited amount of high - quality ones. This one really works because the cream and gold add warmth and match the belt I wore. 

The picture turned out really blurry. But basically, the necklace I wore was a simple silver friendship necklace- nerds aren't alone ;) The silver adds to the cool tone and matches the belt buckle that I wore. Also, it has a pink jewel that matches my glasses.

The shoes I wore with this outfit are a much loved favorite of mine. They're really cute, preppy sneakers. They have a red and blue and white plaid design- red represents the variation of red in the outfit, and blue- the blue in the outfit. It really ties the whole outfit together. It also has brown "leather" trim that matches the belt and warm tones of the jewelry I wore earlier. Also, it has a few inches in it's platform so it makes me feel taller!

Glasses- Gift

Button Down- Hollister

Jeans- Kohls

Belt- Liz Claiborne
Bracelet- Banana Republic

Necklace- Claire's

I hope you enjoyed this whole "nerdy style". :) I'll be uploading my Class Colors OOTD for Friday soon. Stay tuned <3

Homecoming Spirit Week! - Tuesday - Decade Day

As you saw from last post, this whole week is themed, as it is homecoming week! :D Today was Decade Day- so you could wear clothing themed after the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, or 90s. I kind of went for the 40s through 60s era.. (more of the 50's) this era was very feminine and focused on dresses that accentuated the woman's hourglass figure- somewhat pin up girl style.

(**By the way, I am not that short. I was bending over:))

(* Yes those are glasses I am holding. I took off my contacts!)

Anyways the color theme I followed today is mainly red-blue-black. I love my dress because it is quite feminine, it has a classic high neckline and an hourglass waist (which you can't really see because I was bending over to get into the camera frame). I'll get more into that later.

The shoes I wore today were a recent purchase but I absolutely LOVEE IT! It's a beautiful bright but vampy sort of red, perfect for fall and they are REALLY comfortable. They are platforms and the black soles give the look of creeper shoes (reminds me of the fashion vlogger clothesencounters!) which remind me of the 90's grungy style- yet its really feminine because of its color and shape. Since its platform, but not heel, it's comfortable while giving me a few inches on my height :)

The dress I wore, as I mentioned was quite classic. It has an accentuated hourglass figure, tied together by a beautiful bow in the front. I think it captured the 50s style in a modern way. I threw a short bolero-style cardi over it, in a black color to balance the look with the black soled shoes (I love matching!)

For accessories, I put on my classic BCBG red bracelet, with the lettering "True <3" (true love).

To match the silver on my bracelet, I put on a very simple diamond flower necklace.

For hair, I was going to curl my hair, but hey- what can I say? I didn't have time in the morning today :P So simple, messy ponytail it was. I still think it looked really pretty and doll-like in the end.
For makeup, I stayed simple as always and put a muted darker-berry toned red lip (although you cannot really see it in the previous pictures).

Dress- Abercrombie and Fitch
Shoes- ZigiSoho (Nordstrom Rack)
Bolero- Target
Necklace- Gift
Bracelet- BCBGeneration

I hope I can make more daily OOTDs for the rest of spirit week! Tomorrow is Superhero Day, but I don't have anything superhero.. so I might end up skipping out on that one- if I DO upload an OOTD tomorrow, it probably will not be superhero themed, but anyways...

Homecoming Spirit Week! - Monday - Neon Day

This week is homecoming, and every day is a different theme.
Today, Monday, it was NEON DAY. :) I wanted to make my outfit pop, but not be too extravagant- so I focused the pop of color just in my tank and played down the rest of my outfit.
I've been really busy, so sorry for not posting! I'm going to be trying to do at least a couple OOTDs each week. This week should be fun fashion wise because it is all themed.

NEON.

ARTSYY photo. So I kept my hair messy and tousled, all natural- I wanted this look to look very casual and athletic in a way :)

(My hair looks a mess. Ahahaha). For my top, I went with a neon, bright, highlighter pink tank. It's quite simple, with a flowy figure and a racerback in the back with an exposed golden zipper, which gives the neon vibe a more warm affect. As you can tell, I am also wearing a navy blue cami underneath- want to keep it school appopriate and the pink really pops on the blue (my jeans are also the same shade of blue, so it really stands out).

I wore navy blue jeggings to really create a monotone effect under the neon pink tank. I think it was quite classic and simple really. The loose flowy tank over the skinny legging-like jeans also creates a slimming effect.

For shoes, I went with my classic Calvin Klein flats, the silver brings out the cool tones of the neon color, which is also offsetted by the gold detailing of the zipper on the tank and the accessories which I will show you.

The necklace I wore is a great piece, given to me by a friend. It's a long chain, which streamlines the flowy figure of the tank, as it is a sharp V form. The necklace itself is a bronzy gold color (in the picture, it looks tinted with blue, which is not like it at all), which gives it a nice rustic look to it. It has an engraved owl - which I love.

What I love about this necklace that it also opens up to a clock! Unfortunately it does not work anymore...

And for "arm candy", I went with a simple cream/gold bracelet that definitely brings out the warmth in the outfit, making it a great fall-to-summer transition piece (by the way, it is still upper 80s here, so the weather is perfect for this type of clothing).

Tank- Love On a Hanger (Nordstrom Rack)
Cami- Ann Taylor
Flats- Calvin Klein
Necklace- Gift
Bracelet- Banana Republic

This is not a complex outfit, but it's a way to start. Hopefully I can post many more OOTDs each week and get into a routine. For now, this is all- I hope you liked my neonwear for today's spirit day. :)
