Happy Summer! The weather has finally settled in Chicago, at least most of the time, and it's been super awesome. I know I've been m.i.a for the past couple of months but I just finished my senior year of high school! Now I'm officially a college student, it's pretty crazy. I'll be moving to California this fall so I'll try to posts 'OOTD's because the weather here (and my suburban background) isn't really appealing, haha. 

These outfits, or Polyvore sets, are some of my summer outfit inspirations. I can't wait to buy more pieces that are more on the experimental side (like some of the pieces in these sets). I'm not sure how to categorize these outfits. I'd like to call some of them flirty, classy, urban, bohemian, or whatever. I think these outfits show a spectrum of types of style. 

Whoever came up with these outfits is a pure genius and I wish this person would style me. Everything is simple in its own way but something about it gives it a charm. Everything is very delicate but with a punch, I guess? As you can see, I have a hard time describing styles and what I want to say ^^; (yes, I just put an emoticon heh). 

In my suburb, sometimes it seems like there's a uniform code. Everyone wears the same type of pants, shirts, and accessories that it's hard for people to venture out. I tell people that they shouldn't care about what others think of them but I guess I would be a hypocrite. Wearing these outfits would be difficult because then it will mean that everyone in the neighborhood would look, stare, or whisper (or even all of that). 

Moving to a city in California will mean that I can be as adventurous as I want and even meet people who have styles that are head-turning. Although I'm not moving to California solely for fashion, it's an important factor for me to express myself without limits. I think that's why I purposely chose to apply to certain colleges, because of the students' styles and fashion sense. Does that sound a little arrogant? I hope not..

As you can see this is a very picture heavy post. I hope some of you, or all, will get some type of inspiration by looking at my picks for the summer. I think the great thing about these outfits is that all of these could be altered (either by wearing a cardigan, coat, or substitute boots) for the fall and winter. Since it's the summer, I'll be posting more frequently and even more different types of posts. If anyone has a request, please comment below and I'll definitely do them!

p.s. If you guys are wondering what my title meant, it's one of the songs from Kanye West's new album, Yeezus, which everyone should check out. Take a listen, it's been on repeat for me. 

changing seasons

The weather has been crazy in Chicago lately. There was news for a snowstorm last weekend, but there was  no bits of white in sight. It's usually bright & sunny in the mornings and incredibly gloomy towards the afternoon. I remember March last year, when it was warm enough to wear shorts. Now, I still need to have 

my scarf in handy to go outside. I wonder when I can put away the scarf...

 I think I now understand why people say that your style matures. I definitely saw my wardrobe change the couple of months, and I think it found its true colours. Comfort is key and simplicity is the best. I love accented items but simple clothing items make an outfit complete. I can't see myself without a loose fitting white tee (like an Alexander Wang inspired shirt) , booties, and a cardigan (an over-sized one is the best). Letting my hair be in its natural form completes my outfit too. It's effortless, yet you put enough effort into it to make it look like that.

I hope everyone is having a blast on Spring Break, I know I am. This is a break well needed. Sadly, school starts soon but I only have a month or so until graduation! So excited to finally graduate high school. It feels like I was a freshman yesterday..thank goodness I'm not, haha.

lately...

   Hello all! I'm so incredibly sorry for not posting for over a month...oh man. I guess school has been a priority for me lately but now I'm a second semester senior! Awe, yeah. That means I'll be posting more regularly from now on. 

Remember when I said my style is ever-changing  Well..I'm still stuck in the black & white zone. I've been attracted to burgundy and many pastel colors, but I don't really wear them. I love the colors, but it's odd how I have nothing that is that color. I wonder if the weather of Chicago is influencing my taste in colors...I 

really hope my palette turns more colorful as the weather gets warmer. 

 I mean, don't get me wrong, I absolutely love neutrals: browns, blacks, greys, whites. But, I feel like it makes me look bland? Or, boyish? I've just been trying to adjust my style; a mix of "grunge", "bohemian", and "street". Haha, is that too much? I know that my style should be whatever I want it to be, but I've been having "fashion" block (a fashion version of writer's block, duh) and it's incredibly frustrating during the school week.

Not going to lie, the weekends are the most stress-free because I don't have to worry about my outfits. But you know how when you throw things together during the week it looks terrible, but, when you throw anything together on the weekends it looks amazing? Yeah, that's my life. These pictures kind of reflect my style right now. Simple yet something charming about them. Am I the only one who thinks Europe cities are breathtaking? Because they definitely are.
