Outfit details: Forever 21 beaded cardigan in teal
Corey Lynn Calter Mona Beaded Tank (Anthro calls it the "Snowscape Tank")
Old Navy grey/white stripe sailor top (much superior rendition here)

Anthro's triple strand headband in carbon
Jeffrey Campbell Haley flats in pewter (black studded here and similar-ish here)
Nine West satin flats (similar here and here)
Chie Mihara silver maryjanes--1 pr left! (same feel here)


Okay so I posted three variations on the same outfit. None of which I actually ended up wearing today. Sigh.

I sure do feel like I talk about the weather a lot, but to be frank, the weather is an important component of planning what to wear, atleast for me anyway. Atlanta can be extremely fickle weather-wise, and not to mention humid or wet or hot a majority of the time. Today was another freak weather day. I got up this morning, looked outside, checked my weather widget and got dressed. When I took these photos, soon after, it was still sunny out!

When I headed out for class a few hours later, it was drizzling and grey. Since it is atleast a 5 minute walk from anywhere I can park to get to my classes, flats were out of the question if I wanted my feet to stay dry. So were the Chies. I ended up running back upstairs to change into my wellies and called it a day.

Anyway, I got this little cardigan at Forever 21 on Tuesday. It was even on sale, and I totally didn't realize that they do markdowns, so it was only $13.99! The weather put a damper on pairing it with my Snowscape Tank too. Silk + rain = no way. So I threw on this stripey Old Navy top instead.

I threw in the silly picture with the mary janes because this is what I would have liked to wear ideally! Sometimes I wish that I had the option of changing shoes upon arriving at my destination or was willing to trek concrete blocks in heels--it's not my feet that complain, it's the shoes. My shoes get trashed so quickly when I am walking urban blocks! And I didn't time the pose right and fell over immediately after I snapped this picture.

I can't wait until tomorrow so I can embark on my new sewing adventure!!

  1. Yeah, yesterday sucked and today is - well, today looks like it sucks too.

    You look super cute though. I love that pop of blue and those cropped pants - I could never carry that off!

  3. Great outfit Jinah - looks very chic and comfortable. Love those Chies too!

    The quilting project sounds like a fun one to start. I have always loved quilts. Someday I want to have someone make me a memory quilt out of my sons outgrown clothes...hmmm, maybe you could learn how to do that? ;-)

  4. I love it! I often revolve my outfits on the weather too but it's no fun when it's that unpredictable! I think they all look cute too!

  6. Weather makes planning outfits such a pain, doesn't it?!

    Sometimes I actually bring a pair of flats with me in my schoolbag when I'm wearing heels, so I can easily change if my feet start to hurt to much! Haha! I always feel silly changing my shoes, but my toes thank me later!
