A (Not Charlie) Brown Christmas
Posted: December 24, 2021 Filed under: Clothes | Tags: brown, brown embroidered wool skirt, brown lace-up boots, brown patterned sweater, christmas Leave a commentBrown may be a little grim for a Christmas outfit, but I’m sticking with the brown hues of my fall/winter wardrobe. Besides, the snowflake pattern on my sweater and the embroidery on my skirt make the outfit quite Christmassy, don’t you think? (Sorry for the wrinkles. I just got these from the post and was excited to try them together so I didn’t get around to ironing/steaming them yet.)
This is also the last outfit post of 2021 – next week is going to be a week of round-up posts, so check back for my favorite SIA challenges, favorite books, favorite outfits and some outtakes of the year. Have a great weekend (whether you celebrate Christmas or not)!
Belated Christmas

It’s like that for us now, except it’s a whole month between Christmas/New Year and the Lunar New Year. We don’t have an official New Year celebration, but we do get a day off, and then it just kind of bleeds into the preparation for the Lunar New Year. It’s even more confusing at school because that was the end of our fall semester and now the new semester has started but nobody really wants to work because our minds are all on that long break.
Basically, we’re all tired and want a break, is what I’m saying.
Anyway, this was what I actually wore for Christmas – it was a normal working day for us, so I just celebrated by adding a Christmas tree brooch to my blazer.
Speaking of which, check out this awesome tree at our school – can you guess what it’s made of? That’s right, it’s 35mm film! Only at a film school, right?
Merry, Merry

I’m just dropping by to show off our Christmas decoration this year – can you guess what the red berries are? They’re palm fruits! We don’t have holly here in Hanoi, so we have to make do with what we can. Look pretty good, don’t they?
Capsule Outfit #39
Posted: December 24, 2014 Filed under: Capsule, Clothes | Tags: blue, brooch, brown, brown suede ankle boots, capsule fall/winter 2014, christmas, gray, gray cableknit sweater, navy boyfriend jeans 2 CommentsThis is my super simple and casual outfit for Christmas Eve. Over here it’s just another Wednesday, but my family is having a little celebration tonight with German stollen and Christmas music, as per our own tradition, so I added the Christmas tree pin to my sweater in keeping with the holiday spirit.
In other news, the semester ends this weekend, just in time for the Christmas and New Year break. I’m getting 10 days off, and I honestly don’t know what to do with myself. I still have a couple of movies to subtitle and a book to translate, but maybe I’ll just listen to the Good Omens radio play on BBC 4 instead. I think that’s a good plan, don’t you?
