All Gray Every Day

This is the outfit I’d originally put together for the SIA challenge inspired by the portrait of Countess de la Maitrie, but back then, I got annoyed because the grays don’t match. Now though, I looked at it again and the non-matching grays don’t bother me so much anymore, so I thought, why not wear it? No use wasting a perfectly good outfit. I only added the gold snail brooch for a pop of color/shine.

Peekaboo Pups

I’m finally on my winter/Lunar New Year break, and it’s quite warm lately, so here’s a casual outfit for lounging around at home. Just kidding, I don’t really lounge. There’s all the preparations for the New Year to be done, and I have a lot of work to finish, plus I’ve started writing again lately (just silly, fanfic stuff, but it’s fun) so I’m quite busy still. Anyway, it’s going to be the Year of the Cat soon, so here are some… puppies? I wasn’t really thinking about it. I would try to put together a cat-themed outfit for the New Year though.

End-Of-Summer Syndrome

I’ve been sitting here staring at the blank post for fifteen minutes trying to come up with something to say about the outfit, and I got nothing. It’s usually the case at the end of a season when I’m so sick of wearing the same clothes and just want to bring out my next season wardrobe already, but I can’t because it’s still too warm, so I end up putting random things together and call it a day. Usually it only happens in the summer though, because I feel the opposite at the end of fall/winter – I don’t want to stop wearing these cozy clothes!

New Skirt

Last season, I bought a bunch of spring/summer skirts but haven’t gotten around to wearing them until now. Usually, I don’t wear skirts much in the summer, because between the waistbands and the bike shorts, it gets too hot, but this year the summer has been milder than usual, so here we are. I mean, they all have pockets, so I’m going to wear them more often.

This skirt is pretty basic, so the outfit didn’t require a lot of thinking. Mostly it was just a case of “Oh it’s raining, I’d better wear my water-proof shoes”, and “Hey, I haven’t worn this doggy button-up in a while, I bet it’ll go with the skirt.” It’s good that almost everything in my closet goes together now, so I can pretty much just throw things on.

Cats And Dogs

Are you a cat person or a dog person? My family always have both, so I always think, why can’t you be both? Case in point: recently, I saw this adorable shirt on Miss Patina and decided to recreate it – I can’t embroider, but I can do iron-on patches. I went to my local craft store to find some cat and dog patches – the idea is to have two dogs and two cats that match my dogs and cats. Unfortunately, they were all out of cat patches and didn’t know when they were going to be restocked, so I went with all dogs instead. But I can’t ignore my cats altogether, so I added these cat socks to my outfit. Who says you have to choose, right? They’re both adorable.
