I blog way too much. I guess suburbia does that to you. More time for yourself... Anyways, as continuation from my last post and from window shopping today, I realized that my style has changed. I think for many reasons. One, everytime I whip out my flashy hot pink glitter wallet, my friends make fun of me without fail each time in the register line. Second, I'm a grown-up now and must look a little bit more like my age group for once. Third, I secretly crave to look more chic. It's almost like an identity crisis. I know how to dress. But the problem is how should I dress? I kind of know what's me and what I'd naturally go for on a rack. But at the same time, don't you ever end up liking or picking out something that isn't really you but you want it to be you? I know yall remember my style from college. Crazy funk designs/colors, un-matching pieces, very bohemian, retro, and I guess a little on the edgy side. I love that shit. But I guess nowadays I'd only love it if I were 15 again and living in Japan. Now, I'm into muted colors, simple pieces that have almost no words/pictures/designs on them.

So here's an example. It's from A.P.C, a brand recommended by my good friend Erica.

I like that casual, somewhat half-androgenous, and simply plain look that still looks expensively chic/modern. Stuff you see europeans wear! Or actually that pic looks like something from the Gap... but of course, most Gap cuts/seams/designs are really outdated.

And this is sorta how I used to dress, in New York at least... I still envy trying to look like this again, but that time as passed for me.
