Decision making process:
I was running late; rushing out of the door to meet my friend L for a study afternoon at a local cafe. I was also kind of tired, so my first thought was, “JEANS!!!”
This pink sweater has been one of my favorite since I bought it for about $20 at ZARA. It was on sale, and I just loved the color combination and how it was a little bit different on the collar. Unlike regular sweater that is round neck at the top, this one has sort of crew neck on top. I love these little details on simple garments.
I also knew that the jeans and the sweater would go well together; a combination I have tried before.
All I needed to do is to pick a pair of shoes and a jacket to keep myself warm, then I can be out of the door.
One of my favorite thing to do is to put jeans and heels together. I think it’s an automatic instant upgrade from “casual” to “chic”. Heel always makes girls look chic no matter what they are wearing. (in my opinion)
Then lastly, I thought silver x black would be a good color combination, and black x pink is always cute. So of course, black x silver x pink x white will work. 
This is my last minute casual chic look of the day. <3
10/29/10 Halloween : a little red riding hood
From the Top:
Little Red Riding Hood costume @ Leg Avenue
- A impulse shopping spree at iParty TODAY.
- Season: Halloween
Red Petticoat: the puffy skirt
- A necessary item (in my mind)
- Season: Halloween
White thigh high socks@ Victoria’s Secret
- I bought this about 2 years ago for another Halloween costume. It comes handy every year when I wear short skirt costume.
Indigo blue wedge pumps
- I think I’ve explained this one enough so I’m going to skip it.
Decision Making Process:
Okay, ladies and gentlemen. I have to come clean on this one.
I had NO intention of buying a new costume. It was a super impulse buy. My friend L and I went to a Halloween shop to look for HER costume. I have tried on this one and another mini-mouse outfit just for FUN. L loved it so much of how I looked in this outfit, and I was convinced that I ABSOLUTELY have to buy this.
So I gave in.
Then it was about where I can find a petticoat to go with it? We were going to a Halloween Salsa party afterwords (that’s why we were looking for costumes). I like my skirt to be puffy and fluffy, so to me, a petticoat is essential! I found one at another Halloween costume store on sale, and I was satisfied.
When I wear a short skirt costume, unless I will be wearing a knee high boot, I always want to cover my legs somehow. So this thigh high socks have come in very handy for last few years in Halloween. It gives a bit of “sexy” at the same time, will keep my legs warm in a cold October day. (freezing sometimes if you live in New England)
Then it was just about to match a cute pumps to go with the outfit: my all timer by now, the indigo blue wedge pumps.
I actually really liked this costume after all, and I didn’t see my grandmother at the party. (I don’t think the wolf has gotten to her. )
