What I wore today: 04/25/2014 (Monarch)

On Friday, I accompanied my friend to the DAAP fashion show again to see her sister's collection. It was a fun night out, and I got to wear a dress, which is something I haven't been doing a lot of during the long hard winter we just had.

What I Wore Today: 04/16/2013 (Paint it Black)

I do not endorse rubber flip flops outside of a dormitory's communal shower, but I do love a flat sandal, especially one with a little metal detailing. As such, these shoes were one of the three items I brought home from Praba Gurung's collection for Target. (See the others here and here.) With weather what it is, however, I didn't get to wear them until this week.

By the way, did you notice how I mentioned in my last outfit post that spring makes me want to wear lots of colors, and then followed that up with a completely black, white, and gray ensemble? Yeah, consistency isn't always my strong point.

I have a colorful iPhone case, though.

Nail-polish striped iPhone case - DIY

What I wore today: 04/06/2012 (Steel-toed)

On Friday, we went to see our friend's comedy-CD-recording performance. Actually, on Wednesday, we were seeing another friend record his CD, so we saw 2 CD-recording performances in one week. Not by any means our average.

I love this outfit. The way the pinkish-reds of my blouse, lipstick, and nails all pop together makes it look special even in its simplicity. And I think this blouse (which I got at outlet price!) is very Downton Abbey.

Also, I'm obsessed with the metal caps on these shoes. I think they strike the perfect balance of delicate and edgy.

Plus, I can see my reflection in them if I need to touch up my lipstick or something.

Straight-leg jeans - Gap

Edwardian-inspired magenta silk blouse - Marc by Marc Jacobs, Gilt

Pearls - Christmas gift from my parents, My Pacific Pearls

What I wore today 11/25/2011 (Versace a game of tennis?)

In case you're thinking this is just a photo shoot and that I didn't actually wear my new Versace for H&M skirt to play tennis, let me assure you that I totally did.

Why? For one thing, it arrived (I ordered it from eBay since my local H&M didn't carry the line) just as I was preparing to head to the tennis courts. I tried it on and realized that, with its pleats, it was actually quite perfect for tennis.

Plus, I'm still the way I was when I was 4 years old: as soon as I buy something new, I want to wear it right way, regardless of whether it suits the occasion.

Silk, pleated skirt - Versace for H&M
