School Girl

Outfit: Zara, Bow and Drape, Stuart Weitzman, Kate Spade, and House of the Playlord

I think I mistakenly named this blog. FaFoFi? Psssh. It should have really been named" All I Want to Be Is A School Girl." Give me dem pleated skirts and collared shirts. Well, obviously in this post, I'm not wearing a pleated skirt. You can't go "full" school girl when you're over 21 very often. As you guys can tell from the fallen leaves, this was actually taken in the Fall. Why the long wait to post?

To be honest, I couldn't tell you about the delay. I had planned a big resurgence post month in December, but I switched luggages with a boy from Australia when heading home to Seattle. That's a story for another time though...

I got a new job and it's taken a little time for me to settle into routine. I have a bunch of posts that I want to share with you all (More like Mom and Jeanine since you're the only ones that read my blog ;)), but I wanted to you for being so patient with me. As I've said, time and time again, I blog in cycles, but it's always something I really enjoy and come back to.

Stuart Weitzman Booties

I put together this outfit because it has all of my favorite things: black, leather, and collars.

With simple outfits like this, I find the devil to be in the details. You could go all out with a statement necklace, a hat, or arm candy, but I prefer a more pared down look. 

I find that when I accessorize or wear too many things, I just strip down throughout the day anyway. I also get increasingly paranoid, as I'm just shedding my hat or bracelets or rings, that I'll just be careless and leave it somewhere.

Go clean and go simple. Don't be afraid to under accessorize! Remember in the words of Coco Chanel.

Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off. 

Ozymandias

Urban Outfitters Silk Dress, Vintage Double Chain Belt, GAIA Vest

Here's a another outfit post...I like to dress up on weekends. I love the combination of royal purple and gold, it makes me feel special...but mostly, it makes me remember the comic book turned movie Watchmen. Ozymandias, the villain, was almost always one of my favorite characters. I just thought he was classy, well dressed, and incredibly intelligent. So here's my homage to the man himself. =P 

I really should be doing my assignments...I AM THE QUEEN OF PROCRASTINATION. Instead of spilling out poetry on paper here, I'll just have to save all my excitement and creativity for the swarm of papers that are going to take over my life in the next month. Does anyone else ever feel so swamped with work, that you never know where to start? ::lol:: Eventually you just get over it, bite the bullet, and poop out several essays.

I'm loving this fuzzy Gaia Vest that I found in the depths of my mother and I's communal closet. It find myself stroking it absentmindedly throughout the day and its a bit funny to watch if I'm sitting around lost in thought, petting myself. To quote Agnes from Despicable Me "It's...it's so fluffy, it's so fluffy I could DIE!" 

Two Gold Rings From Childhood (inscribed with the character 福）, a bracelet from my grandmother, a Baume and Merceier vintage gold watch, and an Alexander the Great bracelet pillaged from the NY Met. 

Usually I tend to stay away from blingy gold jewelry, but if you're wearing purple and acting like a king, you might as well go all out right? 

In light of the work situation, I'll probably post way more restaurant reviews that "outfits" in the coming weeks. Anyway, thanks for coming to look. I hope you're having a wonderful start of the fall season. =)

+ Love
