Outfit of the Day (July 31st 2010) August 2, 2010
Posted by Katie Oh in : Such As , 3commentsApparently I’m not very good at putting together outfits, as this is only the second one I’ve had the courage to post after wearing. I dug this shirt out of my closet a few days ago and realized it would go perfectly with this skirt, and an outfit was born!
Now, obviously I am fat. That makes the waistband of the skirt a little hard to properly place–anywhere else and my top half would have looked extra-lumpy. Unfortunately, this does make my lower half look super-big, but it’s pretty much the best I could do. I think it’s a good start. And I like the color palette here, but next time I might try a black top to fight the issue of the lumpiness.
More pictures after the jump!
Outfit of the Day (June 25th, 2010) July 1, 2010
Posted by Katie Oh in : Such As , 2commentsThis was my first real attempt at putting an outfit together while thinking about all the elements going into it.
I saw this shirt at Target, on clearance for $5, and thought it would go well with the bag. A bit of shoulder detail that looks more “metal” [anyone remember those pyramid bracelets/belts from their junior high goth years? I think this is the grown up version of those] in contrast to the light softness of the bag.
Unfortunately the outfit wasn’t exactly the best. I think next time I’m going to wear it with a high-waisted skirt [which would hide some of that awkward cling around my belly] and with different sandals. My original plan had been these black, strappy kitten heels that I bought literally 5 years ago, but I couldn’t find them before I had to leave. I also think I might wear some kind of fun-colored necklace next time, too, to add a pop of color. Or maybe I’ll just leave the red lips to do their thing.
Designing a Wardrobe (Around a Bag) June 19, 2010
Posted by Katie Oh in : Such As , 2commentsSo, being as that I will essentially have to use this bag for the rest of my days to feel all right about the money I spent on it, I knew it had to be one that will go with everything. With the help of Polyvore, a website designed to help budding fashionistas assemble wonderful outfits, I checked my theory.
I think this would make a good basic school outfit. I don’t own these items, obviously, but I own similar ones. The bag, coupled with the dark jeans, gives off a slightly dressy look, while the shoes and cardigan underscore the comfort and ease aspect.
I often wear a similar outfit to work, with leggings underneath when it’s chilly outside.
What about for a nice night out at a play? I love the ivory color of the waistband on this dress.
Or just a casual dinner out in the summertime.
Okay, maybe it doesn’t go with everything. But I totally wouldn’t leave the house in something like this.
Maybe.
