Hi Lovelies!! I know it's been quite a while since I've posted, but better late than never right?! I've really missed you all so much...that's why been trying to KIT via my facebook and twitter on my off-days from the blog. Anyways, the Holidays took a big toll on me -- family parties, shopping for presents, the works.
But, back with a cool post! For this New Year, really want to change-up or moreover enhance my wardrobe..I want to challenge myself in fashion by trying to incorporate more prints and brighter colors in my everyday style. Sooo..first up -- prints! I've always loved from afar how ppl can convey the "print-on-print" trend so perfectly..but today, decided to try it for myself! I love this cardigan from Crystal Hearts Vintage, firstly because it has this cute floral design but also a unique silk fabric. Mixing floral and polka dots seemed like the best way to create a cute yet fun outfit.
Added silver accessories and boater hat for a laidback look, along with my trusty Hobo International Candis bag (I've used it to death..it has so many amazin' features -- bonus: lots of pockets!), and for comfort and height wore my Sam Edelman wedges.
I hope you lovelies are doing well! Unfortunately, my winter break is nearing its end and I'm trying to savor each moment before I have to go back. I can't believe my last semester at UC Berkeley is coming up!! I still remember being a freshmen in college. My first class at Cal was huge! 600 students in one classroom. I will miss you Cal. Sigh, bittersweet.
Have an amazing week ahead! Keep inspiring Beautifuls <3.
♥, Kathleen.
Kathleen, I adore you wearing prints! Of course you always look pretty in the neutral tones, as well. Best wishes on your last semester! Miss you, lovely girl. x
