Metro Monochromatic: A-Lined Skirt and New Balance

This winter has been unrelenting and doesn't seem to cease any time soon. Outside is blanketed in snow accompanied by excruciating wind. Despite the frigid temperature, the scene is ideal for a photo shoot of snow angels, artistic and expressive shots like something taken out of photojournalism or cinematography. 

These photos were taken a while back when the weather was pleasant and breezy -long before the season has transitioned into its current state of monochromatic stillness.  

Shirt: American Eagle
Skirt: Express
Shoes: New Balance 501
Sunglasses: Marshalls

Today marks the day after Lunar New Year. From another perspective, it's also a limbo state between yesterday and tomorrow -full of reminiscence and hopefulness. For what day or state it may be, I wish you a happy one. 

Fitting Room Try-ons and Recent Purchase: Ann Taylor, GAP, Francesca's, and Express

The World Cup has just ended yesterday and summer is drawing to a close. Before school resumes, I'll make it a goal to have at least two posts published. I've also been thinking of incorporating some verses from my poems in my posts. Perhaps in the near future!

For this post, I want to share these IRL pictures from last month purchase and fitting room try-ons at Ann Taylor and an item each at GAP, Francesca's, and Express. I'm 4'11" and ~95 lbs. Items still available online are included with clickable links right below the images. Just to forewarn, this is a picture-heavy post!

This is my favorite style lately -pairing button-down shirt and dressy trouser with sneakers!
