Played up my proportions today; skin tight on the bottom while flowy and loose up top. The weather has definitely been improving around here. The sun isn't scorching my skin so there is no need to slather on layers of sunblock. Excited for the cooler weather coming this way! Look out for how I style up my sweaters and collection of scarves!

First Day

Jeans: Kohls

Sneakers (not shown): Forever 21

White knit cardigan (not shown): vintage

Just came back from the first class of the school year! I was all ready to go and prepared, thinking I would learn something important, but it turned out that no T.A. or professor came by. I woke up at 6:30 am for that? It probably was due to the fact that it was a discussion, not a lecture, and that no one was assigned to teach the class yet. But fortunately, I made two new friends today! As I sat in the class with forty four other students, I could tell I would enjoy being around them. Next class is in a couple of hours. Hopefully I will actually learn something. Coming to this university, I wasn't too sure of what to expect. However, despite the inevitable stress of midterms and finals, I'm excited to learn, meet new people, get out of my comfort zone, and just have fun.

Today was a too-hot-shirt-and-shorts-bun kind of day. Got around the campus to get to know my classes. Hopefully when classes DO start, I know my way around already. Went with a casual look to stay comfortable but presentable while biking around. A bun keeps the look casual, but put together. 

And yes, each student gets a wardrobe for her clothes (surprisingly, it fit all my clothes and more). Thankfully a full body mirror is included in the room; didn't want to lug that around on move in day.

The day before I leave for college, I get to party it up with great family friends. It is still so surreal to hear that I will be leaving in less than twenty four hours. I will definitely use technology and the famous social networking sites to my advantage. University, I'm ready for you! Sad to leave the teen-hood and into the beginning of a LOT of responsibility.

Going out for one last hurrah with the gang. I am so blessed to have met these wonderful people in high school, it will definitely be exciting to see where they end up in the future. Who knows, in 4-8 years you'll probably see future posts of me attending movie premieres with my famous actor friend or getting free checkups from my doctor buddies. I am so proud of what they have accomplished these past 4 years and will root for them to stay focused on their goals in the future. In the meantime, I'm hungrily anticipating our dinner and movie night in two hours!

Starting to get the hang of this blogging thing, hopefully I'll continue with consistent posts while school is in session! The weather has gotten colder in the mornings, so had on a gray knit cardigan earlier. Last winter, got lazy and just threw on hoodies or sweaters and some jeans. Senioritis hit me pretty badly in the fashion department. This year, I think keeping a blog will motivate me to get creative with my outfits. I can't wait to bring out all my knits and sweaters: fall/winter, bring it on.

What you don't see are the layers of cardigans and sweaters underneath the rolled up tops. Packing for college (leaving in 5 days!) has got me excited for the new people, different experiences, and chances to experiment with my clothes. Rolled up my tops to keep them crease free! The left side of my suitcase is filled with my PJ bottoms, PJ shirts, sweats, and sweaters. Got another smaller suitcase with my undergarments, socks, beddings, towels, and belts. I still have so much left to pack, but the parents don't want me to pack EVERYTHING just yet (to keep me coming back and pick up more stuff)! I guess I'm lucky I only live no more than 2 hours away from the university. Watch out for future blog posts to see how I style my clothes for college.

Gifted

Dresses and shorts: assorted stalls from the divisoria in the Philippines

The awaited gifts from my titas all the way from the Philippines finally arrived! Thank you! I only expected at most one to two pairs of scalloped shorts, and ended up receiving so much more! 

(From left to right): (1) Love the bright red color and the fit of the red dress. It is form-fitting and very flattering on my petite frame. (2) The doily-like lace detailing on the hem of the white scalloped shorts are amazing. The pleats that come right below the belt are a cute little detail as well. (3)The black and white tunic top with lace detailing falls on my body so smoothly. I have been looking for a dress or top that has these mini pleats that go all around the bodice. Finally in my possession. (4) As I twirled around while trying on the white dress with earth-toned polka dots, I felt like I was the hostess at a fancy soiree ready to entertain my guests. Actually, wearing any of these girly items remind me also of the outfits the leading lady in a Korean drama would wear, 'em I right? (5) Needed a basic pair of khaki shorts, and the subtle scalloped cut on the bottom adds a formal and feminine touch to an otherwise plain pair of shorts.
