Skinny Love

Photography by Mark Vitazko

I'm wearing a lot of my new favorite things in this post but if I had to choose one of these pieces to run away with me off into the sunset I would pick the Everlane shirt hands down. Even though these other pieces are incredibly solid standout works of art, this silk shirt is just too good for the price and has claimed the title of the best shirt I have ever owned. It's relaxed, easy, and beautiful. I'm already in love.

I'm Wearing:
Top: Everlane
Necklace: T+J Designs
Jeans: Rag and Bone
Shoes: Dolce Vita

In the Mood for a Small Burst of Color

Horned rimmed glasses are pretty up and coming so I was lucky to find a pair that actually fit my tiny head. I'll have the thank that 4-year-old for tossing them aside. Unfortunately sunny days are uncommon on a June day in Seattle so it's nice to wear a little burst of color to remind myself of brighter days. These shorts are the perfect for when you just want a little pop of neon and they're amazing for the price. If only they had pockets...

In the Mood for a Dream in Creamsicle

 This skirt is simply elegant and moves like a dream. I first fell in love with it when I saw how completely simple yet unique the shape was. The asymmetrical cut gives the skirt a unique view from each side yet the slit balances out the extra length to make a short girl, like me, look taller.

I found out today that my partner, Xiang, will be visiting Seattle next month which is super exciting because we rarely get a chance to see each other. I'm excited for all the blog photo shoots to come!

In the Mood for a Lovely View

After this shoot I think I found at least 32 bobbing pins in my hair. I loved how regal this bun looked but it's way too complicated for me to do on my own! This is one of my many outfits for a cold rainy day where I will be spending much of my time indoors. It's really obvious I got the inspiration for the color palette from the grey Seattle weather.  However grey the outfit though, having a skirt with pockets is the most convenient thing in the world! This wool mini and thigh high sock combination overall is a great outfit for staying in but warm enough to run around in the rain in.

In the Mood for Cherry Blossoms

I bought this skirt closer to the middle of winter and have been waiting for a sunny weekend to finally break it out. The UW Quad is one of the most beautiful places in Seattle during the spring and I thought the colors of the cherry blossoms matched perfectly with this spring outfit. All the chiffon skirts at American Apparel are made beautifully however they are incredibly sheer so I recommend wearing them with tights. Apparently their ash rose color tights are basically as pale as my complexion.

The silk blouse is a favorite piece of mine that I will probably wear for many many outfits to come. I also feel the same way about the necklace which was designed by another local fashion blogger.
