Atomic Tangerine





 
























































Top - QED London
Skirt - Sirens
Shoes - Crocs
Purse - Coach
atomic: minute, small
(I'm being a tad lazy with this one, but the first two letters aren't the same and I don't feel like adding another word...!) Anyway, atomic is a cool word. I wish it meant like, "amazing" because saying "Dude, that's atomic" sounds really awesome... 

Hey y'all. Today was the first day to hit 30 degrees Celsius here in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area). I wanted to wear something that would keep me cool (which this top fulfilled! Such lovely flowy thin fabric). I bought it a few days ago, possibly a week ago (I can't keep track of the days) because it was $3.50. (No this does not count in the promise I made in my previous post, because I bought this beforehand!). But the pretty scalloped hem and neckline, the lovely polka dots.... absolutely irresistible!

I must say, I regret wearing the shoes just a bit though. All my crocs have expanded/stretched out quite a bit since I first bought them, making these a little too big for me. Thus, the part of my foot above the heel/back of my ankles? are kind of scraped. I'm trying to come up with a way to fix this, but I have no ideas thus far.

I must say, I think this (and my most recent previous post!) have definitely been my favourite outfits since the start of this blog. Have I gotten better at posing too? Honestly, I'm so awkward when I get my friends to take pictures of me.... the best ones always tend to be with a self timer. Anyone else feel the same?

Also, good news! I have two job interviews on Friday (tomorrow!) yayayayayay! If I get either job, you will not have to hear my complaints of job hunting and the like for quite some time! They were both food places (though I desperately wanted a retail job), but I'm ecstatic! I hope I make a good impression in real life; sometimes I'm a tad insecure about the fact that perhaps I sound better on paper than I do in real life.

It's warm again tomorrow, so more sunny weather clothing! I was wearing a cardigan today when I left home, but promptly took it off. (It's why my purse is so bulky looking!) Thin cardigans are super in the summer time, because you can scrunch them up and put them in a purse when it's too hot, and take it back out in the evenings when it gets a tad chillier.

Lots of love! Have a great week! (Signatures are overrated, y'all know my name, right?)

Air (of) Superiority Blue

Heels - GH Bass 

Hey y'all! Missed me? I hope so, but more importantly - I'm really quite sorry that I have not been posting the past couple of days. See, my home Internet bandwidth for four people is a measly 60GB. 2GB a day doesn't actually seem that small... But when you factor in the fact that I watch shows on Netflix (Skins UK, Drop Dead Diva), my brother watches shows on Netflix (Jimmy Neutron, Danny Phantom), my mom watches random Korean reality shows and my dad watches golf things/Korean news... It's almost impossible to stay under the limit. So at the end of each month, our family must disconnect from our electronic devices. Sometimes we manage to last the month, or we just have to pay more on our bill.

But anyway, so that's why I've been MIA the past little bit. I'm currently writing this at my high school (which I don't ever really need to come back to, but keep doing anyway.) Lovely.

You know how I've been saying that I need to stop buying more clothes? Right... that's not really working. I bought this dress shirt at Old Navy for $10... Fast fashion is bad... Yeah... I've been saying this for so damn long, but NO MORE SHOPPING THIS SUMMER. NOT EVEN IF IT'S UNDER $5 and GORGEOUS. If at any point in the next three months (unless I go to Korea, then I'm absolutely breaking this rule), I break this promise, call me out on it! I'll buy you food or something, equivalent to how much money I spent on shopping. Deal? Deal.

Anyways, I had to stop writing because periods change at school and I lost my interrupted access to a computer... Alas, here I am at McDonalds late at night (10pm is fairly late), sipping a $1 ice coffee and writing away. This is the good life guys. (No, not at all).

What have I been doing the past few days? Desperately trying to clean out my room and getting frustrated, so living and sleeping in an absolutely ridiculous pile of clothes. Seeing a couple of friends here and there. Rolling around in my inadequacy.... Hahahaha. Time for the next post!

Busy patterns for Busy Days



T-Shirt - Old Navy
Shorts - American Eagle
Shoes - Toms
Bag - Gifted? Can't find a tag.

Today was a crazy hectic day. I needed clothes that would be comfortable to walk in all day; I should have brought a cardigan, it was freezing cold... Also, socks with toms are not a good idea. Look at the first picture above, then at the second one, then back at the first to see how much prettier Toms look without socks. Yeah.

Here is a relatively good summary of my day, minus the group picture of show choir! My friend Cindy and I went downtown (Toronto) to go prom dress shopping for her, and had some yummy lunch as well. Then I missioned back to school for my school's spring concert Printempo!

Happy Mother's Day! Part 1




Dress - Pacific Mall
Cardigan - Elena Solano
Bag - Upgrade (? Bought this at my church)
Shoes & Headband - Aldo

This is what I wore today on Mother's Day! I would have liked to maybe wear something a tad brighter, more spring-like.... but the weather forecast was awful and gloomy (rain, hail, winds, cold temperature, etc). I liked how cozy all of the fabrics in my outfit today were winter-worthy warm.

There's a part two to this post, because my mom deserves her own post! Haha, here's to internet fame mother dearest (kidding!)

Love, 
Diana Yoon

Amazing Green Race!



 Jeans - Garage

Denim Shirt - Garage
Shoes - Keds
Headband - Aldo
Earrings - Made by LinLin 

Today was the Peel Environmental Youth Alliance's Amazing Green Race Day! Super exciting stuff, y'all. As an executive member, I got to help run the entire event (based on the Amazing Race) which had 100+ students from Mississauga and Brampton travel around by transit (or bike!) and go to different eco-challenges. It was an incredible day! I was stationed at Riverwood Conservancy for most of the day, and went to Sheridan to see everyone for the finale!

Winds of Uncertainty





Shirt - Garage
Dress shirt - stolen from Dad
Shorts - American Eagle
Shoes - GH Bass
Earrings - Etsy: Made by LinLin
Bag - Michael Kors

Some days are windy and rainy, and that's just life. There is nowhere with a perfect climate; even in tropical islands, the monsoon season will overwhelm the area with rains so thunderous, that its typical aura of paradise will be swept away.

And some pictures are wrong in all sorts of ways: awful hair blowing around everywhere, awkward positions of body parts. But I'm learning to appreciate the wealth I have, for being able to enjoy (too many) clothes and having an iPhone to embark on this fashion journey.

Free as a Bird












Skirt - American Eagle 
Sweater - Tommy Hilfiger
Shoes - Timberland (borrowed from Zona)
Necklace & Headband - Aldo


On this lovely day of this incredibly tedious day, I finally finished IB exams (minus French... But haha it's in a week and a half so I don't care). It also was sunny and raining for a little bit today, which is my favourite kind of weather! Pathetic fallacy perhaps?

So on this day of "freedom", I decided to channel the aura of a bird, which the whimsical skirt and feathery accessories. My friend accidently touched my headband instead of my head, and said it felt like a dead rat.... lovely. But no! Feathers! Because birds can fly! Anywhere! And still they stay (unless they're migrating south or something).

Prefect (Perfect) Day




Dress - Zizimo (Korean brand?)
Cardigan - Papaya
Shoes - Call It Spring
SLYTHERIN PREFECT Badge - Gifted from Kelly

Today was a really wonderful day because my HL History exam, which I've been complaining about studying for forever and ever, was really quite good (I hope!). But I didn't think it would be, so I pulled out an outfit that would make me feel like I looked good, even if I didn't feel so great (but I did! So just a lovely bonus, I suppose!).
