Fun colors: Layered Sweater over Gingham Shirt and Gray Booties

Rainy Morning: Trench Coat & Rain Boots

This Saturday, we took full advantage of our location in downtown Austin (validate my parking-Yes please!) for an impromptu photo shoot after my doctor’s appointment. It rained really hard the whole way there but luckily it stopped right before we got out of the car. The weather was a bit cool so I paired my shorts (last seen here and here) with a sweater layered over my favorite plaid shirt (last seen here and here). Oh, and do not let me forget-thank goodness for my Hunter boots-as they have proven once again to be perfection on a rainy day. It has really been a journey to find a trench coat. My criteria was simple, the coat must not: overwhelm my body, be too pricey (#burberrylust), and must have a classic appearance. This ASOS trench really saved the day by checking every box on my search criteria. Since we just happened to be in the neighborhood, we stopped by Gourdoughs's Big. Fat. Donuts. for an epic treat! If you are ever in Austin, please take the time to try one. Their fried-to-order donuts are thick and fluffy and they are not shy about their toppings. My favorite ones are: Miss Shortcake, which has cream cheese icing with fresh cut strawberries; and Granny’s pie, which has caramel, pecan, banana, & graham cracker (check out the last photo). So imagine something that is lightly crispy outside, while remaining a bit more dense than a normal doughnut. Seriously I am not doing justice to this magical pastry work of art, so you will just have to trust me, or even better yet go get one or two for yourself ^_~ 

Hope you have a great rest of the week!

   

 

 

Colors: Neon coral sweater & Floral pants

Just a quick hi to everyone! Hope you have a great week, and weekend. These are my favorite pants (you can click on labels to see these pants in my previous posts)-I love the floral patterns and the vibrant color. Choosing one of the colors from the pants to unify the look, I paired them with my coral neon sweater.

Gloomy day: Chunky knit sweater & pencil skirt

Hello everyone! Texas weather has been bizarre and unpredictable lately. We just had icy days, where the city was shut down, and then the temperature was high at 74 degrees all in the same two-week span. (Again this week, the average high is around mid 40’s to the lower 50’s). It is really hard to plan something outdoors as you never know what the weather will decide to do. The day we took these photos, we drove to go pickup breakfast, after deciding we could not get the shots done-since it started to rain (again) in the morning. While at the parking lot, we tried to take some photos since the rain stopped. It was so frigid cold outside and windy but we got the photos. There was no sun and we did the best we could. Anyway, I really love this comfy duo (chunky sweater and stretchy pencil skirt)! The best part-I got this pencil skirt from Zara for $9 (plus tax) ^^

 

         

Casual plaid : Plaid pants & sweater

Hello everyone, I’m back.  It has been awhile since last time I posted “before leaving to Thailand”. With jet lag and the holidays, outfit posts had to be on my back burner. By the way, we had an amazing time in Thailand and we are going to save up for our next trip in a couple of years.

I styled this outfit back in November, but did not get a chance to post it. For a more casual look, I paired these pants with booties and a light sweater.  (These plaid pants were previously seen on Tartan in business). 

Stay chic and be unique!
