On A Campus

top || basic tank 

bottoms || zara 

shoes || fabio rusconi 

visited my old campus. felt very nostalgic, roaming the halls of DDH and floors of the Walter Stern Library. it was quite an adventure wandering for good backgrounds. 

i've had these a-line skorts (skirt&short combination) from zara since last season. they were so incredibly popular i couldn't find the inspiration to wear them. some pieces are super cute, yet trendy that i don't have the desire to style them. by default i store them when they aren't so trendy to wear at an appropriate time. pieces are trendy for a reason. but who says you have to wear them when they are...

BOYfriend + STRIPES

bottoms || calvin kelvin 

shoes || fabio rusconi 

backpack || kanken fjallraven

another tally for a hot day. many hours were spent at the immigration office waiting to renew and change my visa status: spousal visa! our marriage was made official on july 8th. 

this wrap dress was purchased yesterday. instead of wearing it as it is intended, i was inspired to wear it open and draped. when pulling together a draped look, make sure to included some fitting pieces; otherwise, should you wear a loose tee with boyfriend jeans, make sure to tie in some sexy pumps or strappy heels to give a good balance.

Bananas. Dungarees. Loafers

for a night out, I button up the collar shirt and tucked it in, adding in sport socks. 

ft. chie
jean jacket || levi's
top&bottoms || basics
shoes || nike 

crop top || harajuku shop

dunagrees || kbf

plaid shirt || forever 21

loafers || fabio rusconi 

a favorite of mine is dunagrees. they're fun and cute, so to keep the cuteness of the outfit i paired it with a banana crop top found at a shop off takeshidori street. i wanted an extra feature for the outfit so i wore the plaid shirt to give it a pop and add some color, while loafers keep it cool and casual.

in the morning I had my Japanese class and filled the rest of the afternoon in search of a likable spot for a proper shoot. found an area tucked away in shibuya. it was quiet with optional backgrounds. the weather was overcast, but it turned out for a good day with me and my camera. after wards, i met up with chie. we hit up the NATURE DANGER GANG show, among other favorites like LEF crew. We had a great night.
