Pale Pink Pabouche



Skirt - Old Navy 
Cardigan - Old Navy
Belt - Joe Fresh
Shoes - ????? (from Grade 8 Graduation hahah)
T-Shirt - Korea? No tag?? 
pabouche: a slipper, soft shoe

Yesterday was a lazy lazy Saturday, which resulted in me basically changing from pajamas into home lounging comfort clothes (they're really gross). So I tried to dress up a little today, especially because it's nice to look your best for church!

My feet haven't grown at all since Grade 8... which is a tad ridiculous. Also ridiculous is how cute these sandals are, and how I've actually never worn them since then. They're not actually
"pabouches" because they're not soft... but they do slip on? Haha.

In terms of wearing a cardigan, tshirt and skirt combo, you can wear it belt on top or belt underneath the cardigan! It changes the look entirely, don't you think?

The belt on top instantly polishes up the look, making everything look well put together and tidy. The belt under the cardigan, however, has a breezy more casual feel which can be great for some occasions!

Show me how you wear your tshirt skirt cardigan combos! Do you prefer belt on top or under? Anyway, hopefully the weather will get warm enough to not need a cardigan soon!

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





Dress shirt - Old Navy 
Skirt - Forever 21 
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!

Seussical!






Skirt - Abercrombie & Fitch 
(I bought this a long time ago, I don't agree with their brand "purpose" or whatever nonsense their CEO is saying)
Shoes - Call it Spring
T-Shirt - H&M
Cardigan - ??

I was really looking forward to writing a blog post yesterday, and then realized I really didn't put on proper clothes all day. So I wanted today to be quite pretty! 

The skirt is the standout piece of my outfit, keeping everything else neutral grey. (I have to start using "gray" with an "a" instead of "grey" with an "e" when I head off to America.... strange.) The skirt is actually originally a tube top, but I much prefer it as a skirt (partially because tube tops intimidate me, so much risk of skin exposure). 

I know the brown wedges are a tad too warm coloured for this outfit, perhaps, but the black Mary Jane heels I had made this outfit much too formal! Also, the jellyfish necklace is easily one of my favourite jewellery pieces! I got it at Monterey Bay Aquarium! It is not a real jellyfish, contrary to what many many many people have asked me. There's a relatively good picture of it in the second photo; I'll likely wear it again soon! (All the pictures in this post are wonky sizes, I'm not too sure why!) 

Anyway, today I cleaned my room a bit. It's still ridiculous (my closets are abysmal...) but this particular clothes rack has all my dresses on it (left side, until the striped cardigan), then cardigans/blouses on the right side. The big black blob at the end is where I tie my opaque tights. There's even a sneak peak of my prom dress! There are two long gowns there though (which one could it be?! Even though I bought one for $160 and the other for $8, haha).



In the evening, I watched Seussical the Musical at Gordon Graydon Memorial Secondary School! It was such a blast! So so so so impressed with the quality of singing, dancing, set, costumes, everything. Well worth the $15 I was originally kind of skeptical of spending! Yay!


So remember, "a person's a person no matter how small"!

Love,
Diana Yoon

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).
