- One Cardigan, Two Styles -

So in my previous post here I posted about putting a Nautical Twist on your style.
Today I'm going to take that same cardigan and change it again. This time with a tea length dress.

I went shopping yesterday so I wanted to make sure I had on a comfortable dress that I can take off and put on easily so this tea length dress was perfect which I found for $20 at Papaya! What a bargain! and I even second guess myself and almost didn't buy it.

To finish my outfit I wore my Seychelles with a 2 inch heel. Ladies it is always good to either take a pair of heels with you or to wear a comfortable kitten heel when shopping. It makes all the difference when you try clothes on~

What I Wore:


My other dog "Happy" happily rollin gin the dirt as I took my photos 

J Crew cardigan, Forever 21 green leave and stone necklace, HM headband

Belt was included with the dress and I got my shoes on Piperlime on sale!

My dress had pockets which was perfect for my Iphone as I shopped.

My failed attempt at a "jumping" picture haha
My successful day of shopping ended me with

Not too shabby aside from buying much needed make up and lotion I got a BCBG top and skirt ( LOVE the hounds ) and a vermilion stripped sweater from Ann Taylor Loft with a new pencil skirt for work.

My new little guy to put on my shelf 
All in all a good end to a good day of shopping.

Happy Father's Day to all your fathers!

Always,
Kyung*

:: Hello~ Summer! ::

I'm done! I am officially on Summer Break!

and what better way to start my vacation then to post some great wardrobe pictures from earlier this week.
Just because I'm taking finals doesn't mean I can't look cute.

 Day Two of my Final:

Floral Print Power


Wearing: JCrew Jackie cardigan, JCrew Floral shorts, Forever 21 top, Aldo shoes, Coach Boyfriend watch, Charlotte Russe necklace, Ray-Ban Wayfarers
I love the combinations of different colors here, who knew it would work out so well.

 Day three of my Finals

Nautical Twist

Wearing: BCBG pleated shorts, JCrew striped cardigan, Ann Taylor polka dot ruffle tank, Gold Key necklace from Cotton On, Coach Boyfriend watch, new Steve Madden nude shoe-laceless oxfords Andrea Jovine sunglasses.

:: Oh the Places You'll Go~ ::

Oh my goodness how time has flown the last couple of months. It's already finals week in my classes.
Good news is once Mon, Tue, and Weds are done I will be a free woman for the summer! I still haven't decided if I want to take a summer course... I probably should, but its been a pretty crazy couple of months.

I'm sorry I've been so MIA! Here I am making promises for the new year and haven't even followed through. :[

Oh but enough of that, where to start!

Quick updates are that I've officially moved into a new house! One where Poppy can freely play outside and take care of business.
I will say that the transition was hard~ I used to live 15 mins from work, and 10 mins from school, but now I live 25 mins from work and 20 mins from school. Plus the added traffic of the 5 -_-;;
But that was a couple months ago, I'm slowly adapting to the little changes, although I don't think my car appreciates the added milage. ;]

On to more exciting things! My hair has officially become its original length before I cut it to a short and sweet bob 4 years ago. Oh the possibilities!~

First thing on my list after finals is get a haircut and plan a trip. where do you suggest I go?

I originally planned Boston, New York and maybe even Hawaii since i've never been, but plans have changed since then so Im looking for a good alternative.
Maybe Napa? or Canada? oh but I'd need a passport for that and I've been too busy to file for one after getting my citizenship back in August. Boo on me haha

And finally here is my outfit for the day:


I also had time for a little DIY for my new rooms:

Wearing: Massimo top, Cotton On scarf, Charlotte Russe skinny jeans, Ray-Ban Wayfarers, Coach Classic watch, Pandora double braided leather bracelet in Red, Francesca flats, Coach Kristin crossbody in Turquoise



and here is my DIY jewelry holder...

I needed a nice jewelry stand for all my rings and bracelets, but I didnt like the white color


My new best friends!

and the finished product!



Once my rooms are done I will give you a tour of the new house!
Until next time then,
-Ciao~
