Part of going to college is finding out if what you really want to do...is indeed what you really want to do. I've been doing a lot of questioning lately about whether the path I am on right now is truly the one I am called for. To me, the worst thing to happen is to graduate and realize that you are NOT as passionate about the field you chose to dig deep into for the last four years. College is indeed different; there is so much freedom that sometimes you start feeling concerned of whether or not you SHOULD be some where when really you have no classes right now; that would be your own head trying to make you paranoid my friend. I've experienced that type of thinking so many times since classes started. My fear is not knowing when an assignment, test, project or whatever the class calls for is due. The professors do not repeatedly tell you that homework is due the next day; no one will force you to go to lectures and class; you can EAT whatever the heck you want(that's right, feel free to screw the meal plan you've chosen, ain't no one gonna stop you). The freedom scares me because I am a person who needs to be told what to do and in college there is no one to do that job but myself. So far I've been able to manage and I'm hoping I don't have any low scores yet! I mean for god sake I just started classes. I'm afraid of missing opportunities, not begin able to gain experience because I am not as prepared to compete against others for study abroad opportunities, leadership and job positions. I want to start building myself up starting this moment, this second. Not having much to showcase how capable I am scares me; Truly having little to no experience equally terrifies me. I am here to earn my degree but more importantly get closer to landing a job that I will be at least happy doing; The thought of failing at doing just that and more that I strive to do causes me to panic and spiral around in my own head. I live a lot in my head which makes overthinking a curse so many of the times. I am surrounded by peers that are far more qualified and experienced then I am. How am I suppose to compete when I am not equipped? Intimidation is a daily task when in college because of how many students and different studies everyone seems to be in. It's easy to tell yourself to not let others intimidate you but to actually believe and take the word to heart and carry with you to all types of situations is hard. There are distractions upon distractions within college and it is your job to make sure your eyes,ears,and mind are focused on what is important because if you don't you're screwed. You are your own worst nightmare because if you do not do what is needed you fall behind and eventually start to feel discouraged because of how far away everyone else seems to be from you. Most importantly college is a place where your emotions run wild. Whether it be stressing about an exam, freaking out over not making it to a club, if the person you've had burning feel ins for feels the same, it is a place where you are sometimes overwhelmed with how you are feeling. The need to keep it together is important but it's also equally important to deal with what is bothering you. If you don't deal with it eventually it will be all that you think about thus you lose focus on your main purpose of being in college. Out of all the problems you've heard so far, I struggle most with feeling. Sometimes you'll cry over the most random and littlest things and you won't know why; but that's okay! You and I are human beings and there is a reason why God gave us emotions and everything in-between. You can do everything under the sun to prepare for your future but what is the point if you are not fine emotionally. Finding time for God is also something I've been trying to do more of. I've been going to Campus House and their event's along with starting small group but I do not feel I am doing enough. I've barely read let alone opened my bible because of how tired and lazy I've gotten with the tasks college has handed or rather thrown at me. I'm not sure what my point was or is, all I know is what I need to work on is first and foremost: being better about devoting time to God and spending time drowning myself in the word; I am going to try and read for 5-10 minutes at least of the word on top of listening to worship music throughout the day and talking to God during my busy times. Secondly: I need and will preserver through this semester; I will not let distractions keep me from what God has planned for me(not that I can ever screw up I mean come on, it's freakin God, the all knowing Him who probably already knows when I'm gonna screw up but put it in their just cause). Thirdly: Stay open minded and positive as much as possible and know that if things do not go the way I expect or want that there is a reason why it did not happen(perhaps it is because God never intended it to be apart of my story, who knows). </div>

So thanks for reading all the way down here you victim of my grammatical-error-filled-word-vomit-post! Like I said before, I don't think there is or was a point to this post other than for you to just be part of my "speedy"-ever-changing-thought-process.</div>

After spending part of the afternoon running around the wet sands of<span style="color: #333333; font-family: helvetica neue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: 800; line-height: 30px;"> </span></span>Natural Bridges State Beach and another part of it strolling on the streets of Carmel, I and the rest of the family were quite hungry. So after exploring bits and pieces of Carmel, it was finally time for our 5:30pm reservations at André's Bouchèe, a highly rated (both in reviews and fees) restaurant we were to reward our stomaches with.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The venue exterior itself gave a rather homey and comfortable and so did the interior, with the many bottles and boxes of wine stacked all around where we were seated. Although we were rather close to the entrance, being by the door did not bother us while we were there and that was rather nice.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not only were we surrounded by wine bottles from brands and years that I would probably not be able to appreciate but we were also by the window; Being by the window definitely was a bonus when it came to taking photos of the food and decor and time since we did not have a clock around. Here is my theory: restaurants like André's Bouchèe do not let their costumers see clocks because they want you to fully relax and enjoy your experience their food and service. </div>

Overall the experience was quite great. By the end of the experience I felt relaxed and full (therefore satisfied). The service was lovely too; our server was constantly coming over to our table asking how was everything and seemed genuine when it came down to making sure we had the best time. The food was better than I expected MAINLY because I had never been to a genuine french restaurant. If this was considered to be fine dining, then it was not what I had expected; what I had expected was small portions that were not satisfying or filling to one's stomach. Now was it worth $500-$600 dollars? Maybe not. Would I pay to eat here again? Sure, if you're paying. So thank you to my dear uncle who treated us out for not only my cousin's birthday but also for the fact that I graduated(apparently). </div>

<a name='more'></a>In my opinion, I rarely go out and explore places that I have heard of. So when my aunt asked me and the three other people I live with if we were interested in going to one of the many beaches we have nearby, there was no way I would let this opportunity pass us or rather me by. Now deciding to go was the easy part, at least on my end, but the factor of what to wear to the beach was a different sort of challenge, one that involved figuring out how to transition beachwear to acceptable fine-dining attire.<br />

While deciding what to wear interms of from choosing a top to picking bottoms, I knew the accessory I wanted to wear for the day would be my square hoop earrings. I remember when I saw these online I just had to have them; they are, as Jenn Im of clothes encounters on Youtube put it, an interesting take on the classic hoop earrings we have seen and been loving as time goes on. </div>

Therefore (since deciding these were the easiest part of the equation) the next accessory I had to bring with me on this day trip was one of my shades. While I have a few kind of aviators, I went with my non-reflecting ones because I figured these photos would look better with them and also because they were my oldest pair and has a history of being able to survive places such as the beach. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggUbemVcGRcv18dczMzXlg1RxniDjtRnnIwbaz9we-9uUeeBiMZeSkvQ8Y3EZ4Ovv-s4s1H_q4hVsVxI53BZ9Yo9Eb__DDIgTKnAw78Ok9kVnfDRuixXW_gZU2CSHmhGyauDfz3DDCLmuS/s1600/DSC_7208.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggUbemVcGRcv18dczMzXlg1RxniDjtRnnIwbaz9we-9uUeeBiMZeSkvQ8Y3EZ4Ovv-s4s1H_q4hVsVxI53BZ9Yo9Eb__DDIgTKnAw78Ok9kVnfDRuixXW_gZU2CSHmhGyauDfz3DDCLmuS/s1600/DSC_7208.jpg" height="424" width="640" /></a></div>

Since I was smart and knew that I would probably get myself wet, I decided to go with my trusty pair of jean shorts and one of my favorite tanks. However since I didn't want to worry about showing my tummy I chose a light airy quarter-sleeved top to act as a cover up. </div>

Needless the say the beach was fun and difficult to shoot pictures because of how chaotic people of all ages are in the water. Now while I did have fun shooting and getting the bottom half of me attacked by waves, I do have to say that if I had a choice between living by the beach or somewhere else, I'd choose somewhere else. To me the smell of the seasalt and other scents of the ocean would be quite unbearable to have around day and night, not to mention all the other natural events happening everyday on the beach such as dozen upon dozens of small flies gathering and hovering around several days old seaweed. Yeah no thank you, I'll just visit.</div>

Our next destination was to go to the tiny town of Carmel where there we would be spending sometime enjoying its' streets before headed to our dinner reservations at André's Bouchèe. While we were there we discovered an alley that was quite charming and enchanting to see. Therefore we seized the opportunity and did a "quick"(note the quotations) shoot before heading off to dinner.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
To close let's talk about the look. Although the restaurant we were headed to was labeled as casual, it was what I now call the wealthy's definition of causal. This meant customers cannot just walk in with wardrobe items such as flip-flops or just a tank with jean shorts. Needless to say we needed to clean ourselves up a bit before dinner. I needed something quick and easy to change into in the car after the beach; I decided to go with my maxi. Maxi's are great because they are one piece and can make you look quite put together and ready for dinner after trips to the beach(which was exactly what I needed). Since Carmel was quite chilly, I kept my top-acting-as-a-cover-up on which in my opinion did not look too awful with the maxi; since the dark shades of the maxi dress went with the light mint color of the top the pieces went together just fine. In terms of shoes, I dressed my feet up just a bit with my brown embellished gladiator sandals just to add a bit more effort to the look. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I learned from this day trip was how to be conventional and transition smoothly between activities that were practically on different ends of the spectrum. My biggest advice for anyone doing activities that require different types of outfits is to pick common items to use for both occasions while making both quite different from each other. Look appropriate for both occasions while making transitioning in between looks easy for yourself. </div>

It has a mind of its own, and by it I mean my mind,brain or whatever you choose to call it. I usually don't get a lot of dreams; In fact most nights I just go to sleep and wake up without really experiencing some mind boggling adventure, and it's great! However last night was one of the rare occasions of having a vivid dream. The weird part of about these dreams is that usually you have two mindsets while experiencing it: the mind that is utterly confused and has no idea why and how you are here and the mind that belongs to your dream self, perfectly fine and aware and informed of the ins and outs of the situation you are dreaming of. Well in this particular dream I did not have the first mindset, in fact, I just went with the flow of things.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
In this particular dream I was a merely a spectator of what was going on. Before transitioning to this dream my mind was on another wet dream, where I was literally drenched in rain. In this dream what I was seeing was two of my favorite characters from one of my favorite television shows, who did end up together by the end of the series, consummating. I won't go into details about the actions and noises I saw while in this dream because quite frankly no one wants to read such information that should really only be kept to yourself or between you and your partner, but I will say this, I was turned on and that was what disgusted me. While in the dream I was pretty into what was going on and even began to picture myself taking the place of one of the two and as if seeing it once wasn't enough, my mind began to replay the scene over and over and over and...yeah I'm assuming you get the point. <br />
<br />
This hasn't been the first time I've had dreams like these so what I'm wondering is why do they keep happening? Maybe its because I subconsciously really want to be in a relationship therefore I keep fantasizing about people and myself being with someone intimately? Could the reason behind having these dreams be because of my history of seeing scenes like these or my lack of faith in my walk with God? Could He or the enemy be trying to tell me just that? Part of me is sorry for letting my mind play these situations in my head and also for not being able to control them, but the other part wants to feel sorry for having these dreams but isn't. Although he knows all even before you commit an action, He is also a forgiving God and is always willing to help so praise the Lord He is! Now that is has been almost two hours since having the dream the details of the dreams are slowly becoming less clear for me to remember. Hopefully, with the help of God, I will be able to control and stop these types of visions from happening. Now if you were to ask me between having vivid dreams or dreamless nights which would I choose, I'd say dreamless nights, because they are less stressful and more innocent to deal with therefore less guilt tends to come with it. So thank goodness I wake up most mornings without a single memory of what I dreamed of or even IF I had a dream.<br />

Its quite liberating to have ones hair cut off. When I got my hair cut on wednesday, I went in without really thinking about my choice and prepared to give it all up (hair wise). I had been wanting short hair for the longest time but it didn't really register with me just how real the decision I made was until it was time. Between my sister and I, I was first, therefore my aunt sat me down and asked me again (fore this was not the first time we had discussed my hair choices) if I was sure and ready for the responsibilities of having a hair length that would be somewhat difficult to maintain. I told her I was confident in my choices and only asked to leave my bangs at the length they were already. Seeing how there was no way to convince me otherwise, she moved me to the sink. Just as she was about to start washing, she stopped and asked me if I would be okay with her tying my hair up so I could keep it. Without really giving it a second thought, I said yes (mostly because I didn't really know what she had meant). She took me back to her chair and tied up the hair that I had not cut for almost exactly a year and took out her scissor. That was when I got scared. I did something that I so rarely do in public: I panicked. All of a sudden cutting so much of my hair became quite terrified me and I began to rethink my choice and even considered telling my aunt I no longer wanted to try short hair.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As soon as my aunt saw me panic and ask her why couldn't she wait until after the wash to cut, she answered jokingly "to save water" and then proceeded to asking if I was ready. Although I really wasn't, I lsaid yes. My heart dropped as soon as she made the first cut; I began to reflect all the "good"(note the quotation marks) times I had having long hair, the annoyance I felt towards it when washing, drying and styling, and truly began to miss it,just a little. As reality sunk in, my ponytail was detached from the rest of my hair and it was time for my first wash with the new hair length. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will be honest, I don't know why or how I convinced myself to go through with the cut, but I'm glad I did. Though I will and do miss my hair long, it was,and still is, nice to have some (hair) weight lifted from my shoulders...literally. As I walked to the sink to finally give my hair the wash it had deserved, I began to cheer up a bit and I cherish how relieved and good it felt to not be weighed down by long hair. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has been about 4 days since the cut; Although I miss being able to use hair tools without worrying about burning the back of my neck, I love my new look more and more as each day goes by. Getting a new cut is a commitment, a commitment I did not really put as much thought into as I should have so thank the Lord the choices I made don't make me look TOO bad (haha get it ;) ). In a way it's like being in a relationship; you have to get to know each other all over again, know how to take care of it, love it, care for it, and more. So if you are someone thinking about trying a short hair remember this: Picturing yourself with short hair is one thing, but actually having it is another. It is a choice that takes courage,confidence and more to go through.</div>

<a name='more'></a>Today truly felt like a typical day in SoCal. Although it was quite cloudy in the morning but as the day went on the temperatures began to rise. I woke up today fully aware that the day would be quite warm and so decided to go with lighter material. Without further ado, let's breakdown the look:<br />

Since today was a church day, it was only appropriate to wear my cross half-sleeved shirts. this top is a bit sheer but quite perfect for a day near the mid-70s. </div>

Continuing on with the lightweight- theme, it seemed like a good idea to pull out the maxi skirt once again. Last time I wore the piece I this piece was perhaps last fall. The color of it goes quite well with black and white on the top. </div>

Originally I was going to leave the top out but then after my mother commented that doing so made me appear older than her, I decided to tuck it in and add a belt. Doing so defined my waist and kept me looking my age. </div>

To add on to the outfit, I went with my silver leather jacket. This jacket really does a great job at uniting the colors of this look together. The silver adds a hint of futuristic-feel to the look, making it modern and fresh.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
To finish the look up I went with my good ol' pair of black boots. When there are many different colors,patterns, and aspects of an outfit going on, sometimes it is just best to go with a pair of shoes that isn't so bold and out there. </div>

For the past couple of days it has been raining here in the Bay Area and let's just say I am so glad, for now at least, it has stopped. If there's one thing I miss about SoCal is definitely how easy it is to dress each day. So without further ado, lettuce(mmmmm lettuce) dive into this breaking down this look:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTI1qxeY9KeJrX8KqU-JK0GNa5WzujUc3XmGrfgT6wj9UIFTS2hK5oNlOt2Df0Dkbsb0zS3X4PyAMkHZvaSE8GvGVP5pZqN7ZsbT-_hyZfBAq6baXOvf-i5pe4-YPaYtN-MiHNW_8N-HnP/s1600/Sam_Liu_March_2-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTI1qxeY9KeJrX8KqU-JK0GNa5WzujUc3XmGrfgT6wj9UIFTS2hK5oNlOt2Df0Dkbsb0zS3X4PyAMkHZvaSE8GvGVP5pZqN7ZsbT-_hyZfBAq6baXOvf-i5pe4-YPaYtN-MiHNW_8N-HnP/s1600/Sam_Liu_March_2-4.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As spring is slowly making its way here, I look forward to dressing up for warmer weather but for now as it is still quite cold here for California I remain in my semi-winter styled clothes. Due to the limited long-warm sleeves I own, I often find it quite hard to change up the top-portion of my outfits. So as I was sitting in front of my closet coming up with my outfit for the day, I began to lean towards the color black for my top.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The beauty of the color Black is it makes all body types look, well, good! I went for this cowl-neck sweater dress because of how the collar drapes itself. To prevent myself from freezing, I wore a black long-sleeve to stay warm throughout the day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The last time I wore this skirt was perhaps last spring. So why not bring it back just as spring is starting to show itself again? This piece adds a unique-flare to the outfit and, in my opinion, a refreshing approach towards wearing stripes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxF-vpjv5JgCrx1juoNjLm0Fsir9UnIt1V04JW9hg5OCHfQd1ffxim_ndy6BJ3MfO3lSnqYQ7YRzkiNSwj3VIxyfVXKcP1C1p1-iRSJDP5kUIXEufnCUjLdmHRxOFJj9v-waFwTRN6klUs/s1600/Sam_Liu_March_2-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxF-vpjv5JgCrx1juoNjLm0Fsir9UnIt1V04JW9hg5OCHfQd1ffxim_ndy6BJ3MfO3lSnqYQ7YRzkiNSwj3VIxyfVXKcP1C1p1-iRSJDP5kUIXEufnCUjLdmHRxOFJj9v-waFwTRN6klUs/s1600/Sam_Liu_March_2-1.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While both the top and the skirt makes the outfit look very feminine, the outfit was still missing an edge. So to "fix" this problem I finished the look with this utility jacket. Surprisingly all three pieces went well together; the blue and white stripes on the skirt compliments both the black and the olive tones of the other pieces. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Accessorizing-wise I went with one of my dainty stud earrings. Because of my color palette and choice in patterns, it didn't make sense to go crazy with accessories. Over-doing things in the jewelry department when your look doesn't need it is a lesson I learned the hard way and a skill you should try to avoid having. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Going with my whole-staying-warm theme, I decided to wear my grey boots. This pair makes it easy and comfortable to walk around and has fur lining in the inside which keep my shin and feet warm while I am out.</div>

During the raining period of the last couple of days, I've learned something about myself: I am not a fan of the rain. Maybe it is because of my years in SoCal but clouds and raindrops just don't sound very pleasant to me. Perhaps it is because of how difficult it is to dress(considering the MANY factors to think about for a raining day) for the hours your out getting rained out.</div>

Like every Sunday morning, I struggled to find an outfit to wear. Now I don't know if it's just because I do my blog shoots on Sunday or what but Sundays are always the hardest to dress for. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here it goes the look:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been feeling like a lot of my looks are becoming too alike so I chose this top. This piece is one that I have not worn since, well, since fall. Therefore what better way to change up your look then by wearing something you haven't worn in a while? </div>

This picture has me in bit of an awkward position haha. Anyways, not a lot of colors go with the different shades of red so I decided to go with a safer route with these black corduroy pants. I didn't go with jeans because well...I wasn't interested in looking like a flag this February. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Accessorizing for outfits are always a tricky situation; Much like make up, if you put too much on you look quite tacky, over done, and, quite frankly, takes away from the outfit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After taking a bit of time to figure out which pieces went with the look, I ended up choosing a bracelet that I haven't worn in quite a while too. As you can probably tell, wearing pieces that haven't been worn for some time seems to be today's theme.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtqOZljdhNxO5kZA4sGrKJr9MDzI5mnAtOotmB1W2hXeTB0EvV551Vj8EqQQbFaK79Tx_xl2p-uAqUhZkBJG7ePbLk04Wb4uEKMh7aG9wW5WyQbhbSqBugYxR9Gj4MpK1bk0O7Yk-6jbHl/s1600/DSC_1349.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtqOZljdhNxO5kZA4sGrKJr9MDzI5mnAtOotmB1W2hXeTB0EvV551Vj8EqQQbFaK79Tx_xl2p-uAqUhZkBJG7ePbLk04Wb4uEKMh7aG9wW5WyQbhbSqBugYxR9Gj4MpK1bk0O7Yk-6jbHl/s1600/DSC_1349.JPG" height="424" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What I like most about this bracelet is its geometric shape. The colors are not as common and looks rather unique in my opinion. On top of all that, it also shimmers with its rhinestone details. It also helps that the blue tone on the piece does not appear to make the outfit LOOK like a flag due to that fact that the shade is more towards a violet color rather than a navy blue.</div>

In my very own opinion no outfit is complete without a jacket. I love all types of clothes, but if I had to choose only a couple of my favorite parts of an outfit, the aspect of the jacket would be one of them</div>

Adding on to the theme of pieces I haven't worn in quite a while, I chose my utilities jacket. While there are definitely some parts to this jacket that I am not the biggest fan of, the color is definitely a winning part in the piece. The green edges up the look just enough and is thin enough for today's 50-60 degrees temperatures. </div>

It has been said that majority of females love shoes. So like most girls, I believe that picking out the right shoes dictates your day and ultimately how you hold and walk yourself around. I went with this light blue pair of flats simply because I wanted a flair of unexpected touch to the outfit. On top of everything else...they're comfy!</div>

This bag has been with me since my first trip to Taiwan, which was a long time ago. It has proved itself to be continuously faithful and is still sturdy enough to hold my items needed for the places I need to go. I can honestly say that despite it's colors starting to kind of fade, this cross body bag is still one of the few bags I rely on.</div>

Starting this past Friday I was at Winter Retreat with the rest of my Church Youth and man am I Tired. The weather was a little bit of everything so thank God that we ended the weekend with Mr. Sun shining for pretty much the entire day. So without further ado, here is this week's look broken done:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Since the morning up in the mounts were generally quite chilly, I decided to go for this black thick knit-sweater. What I like most about this piece is how its able to keep you warm all day and how airy it is at the same time. Perfect for the mounts if you ask me.</div>

Like the top I chose, this necklace was one yet another piece I could not wait to wear out. I, as you can probably tell, don't really go out much. However, when I DO have the chance to head out of my "man cave", I usually try to make sure that I look at least decent if not polished.</div>

I think the light-green shade shows its true colors the best when paired with dark-definite-colors such as the almighty tone of Black. It just glows ever so greatly on the black, giving it a bit of a glow in the dark effect. </div>

Now since it WAS a retreat and in a "natural" I felt the need to tone down the "glamour" of the top and the necklace. To create the casual aspect of the look, I went with a good-old pair of jean shorts. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since I didn't want to wear my jeans again, I decided to compromise and go with the solution of wearing jean shorts with tights. This combination satisfies my need to change up my pieces and the requirement of staying warm. </div>

Boots are my love so how could I possibly say no to bringing my black booties along with me to retreat? Originally I had thought of bringing my rain boots but they seemed a bit hard to pair outfits with. So in the end I went with this pair due to the fact that they are both weather-proof AND easy to pair with different outfits.</div>

So last night, while I was brainstorming on what to wear for the next day, I found out that the chance of rain was likely. Therefore without further-ado, I present to you my thought-process for today's look:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Since today was a colder day, I decided to wear a long-sleeved top. I went with this one mainly for the comfort it brings to me. The material is very much like sweatpants, soft and very warm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTfr6l-lkz4mCDx3x3cLWv8mRocY2kUFl4j3d6CrMf5y5eud0VixjeOB3QvzF-3kdTcE4jRKgvIK7HgHCnGsZrZOdvGG4x7eL2CDqhlc618_HamOVla_mp6BCzXP0hLpKproFBcs8itddP/s1600/DSC_1138.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTfr6l-lkz4mCDx3x3cLWv8mRocY2kUFl4j3d6CrMf5y5eud0VixjeOB3QvzF-3kdTcE4jRKgvIK7HgHCnGsZrZOdvGG4x7eL2CDqhlc618_HamOVla_mp6BCzXP0hLpKproFBcs8itddP/s1600/DSC_1138.jpg" height="640" width="424" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't want to wear long pants again but I also didn't want to wear a skirt. Shorts and tights seemed like a reasonable compromise and was what I went with! I got both warmth AND didn't have to wear long pants OR a skirt! </div>

Going along with the whole comfort-theme, in terms of outwear, I went with this thick blue-jacket. What I like the most about this piece is not only how thick it is but also how it is long enough to cover my bottom. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To go with the today's Blue-theme, I decided to go with a light-blue scarf to finish it up. This scarf in my opinion ties the whole look together because of the shade of blue it is in. PLUS it matched my umbrella.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The rain boots instantly became an essential for this look strictly because the weather forecast predicted that it would be raining. Unfortunately during the shoot it didn't rain and I couldn't splash around in a puddle. I was very sad...kind of.</div>

To be very honest, usually if I don't plan the outfit the night before, I'm usually looking for the perfect balance between comfort and style the morning of. So unless you plan your outfits before hand, if you're ever in a hurry to get ready with little time to spare, go with pieces that make you feel comfortable without looking like a slob. </div>

This past weekend has been both the most fun and exhausting one of the entire year...so far. I went to the Lenaea Theatre Festival, one of the many theatre competitions and festivals that happens up here in Northern California. It was great meeting other passionate Nor Cal theatre kids and basically a trip filled with memories with my theatre family. Anyways moving on! Mother recently came home from Taiwan and gifted to me some new pieces...yayy!! the city of Folsom is generally a very cold city. Therefore like the two days before I decided to dress for the cold for the last day of the Festival.</div>

When I first got my "Love" sweater, I was reluctant to wear it mainly because I was aware that sweaters were and still are very trendy pieces right now and didn't want to be "trendy." In fact, I've always been one to refuse looking like the crowds. So I was always unsure of how to style it in a more unique way until recently. This piece was chosen because it is one of my only warm pieces and that matched the gloomy sky of the day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This skort(half skirt half shorts) has now become one of my favorite pieces in my closet. I've been wanting a piece that was origami shaped for the longest time but never had the opportunity to get one. Luckily it seemed my mom, without me telling her, knew of this craving and presented to me the piece. To me, this piece has enough class for Formal looks and can also be toned down to a casual but still sophisticated look. More than anything, I just loved the chic front's cut.</div>

As I mentioned earlier, Folsom was a very cold place to be. This coat was sheltering me from the harsh cold winds throughout the entire festival. If it weren't for this piece, I would be in am even sicker condition than I am in right now. For some reason, depending on the light, this jacket will alter it's color between the tone's olive and brown, interesting huh? It is yet another piece my mother brought home for me and I absolutely am starting to grow very attached to it. </div>

Like the skort, I've always wanted a beret. To me a beret is one of the most classic pieces that makes an outfit look not only put together but also adds extra class and makes you look well..chic! When my mother first brought the many hat's home, I wasn't too drawn to this one simply because of the color. However after I tried it on, I was surprised to how classy I looked since usually I don't go for hats of that shade. Needless to say, I decided to go "all out" on the last day of the festival and risk of getting hat hair, all for the sake of showing off this lovely beret.</div>

To make the outfit look put together, I decided to continue wearing my black boots so that the look did not look too busy. When in doubt, wear black! You'll instantly look not only clean but also classy! </div>

So yesterday night as I was getting ready for church, a thought came to me: Sometimes, school isn't enough for a girl to get all colorful-ed up since it IS school we're talking about. Without further ado, here is the breakdown of the look: </div>

Since today was my weekly visit to church, I wanted to look more polished than my usual school get-up. Therefore decided to wear my blue blazer. I chose a blue blazer because blue didn't make me look overly-formal and polished and also kept me looking like my age.</div>

The white and teal striped shirt dress was chosen because although I wanted to look put together I also wanted to feel comfortable. The shirt dress has a very soft and blanket-like texture that doesn't make you feel restricted what-so ever. The matching-belt allows me to define my waste so that my figure isn't lost in the baggy-ness of the shirt dress.</div>

Bottom-wise, I chose my corduroy skinny-pants because I wanted the look to be a bit weird to the eyes but in a good way..if that makes sense haha. The pants are actually a dark dark shade of green which is probably why in pictures it tends to look like just ordinary black pants.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Honestly speaking, I wore these flats because I was in a hurry to leave and just grabbed the pair without really thinking if it would work. Luckily they fit the (majority)Blue-toned color palette I had created so Praise the Lord for that and how comfortable they are!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I had been itching to wear both of these jewelry pieces for THE longest time and decided that today was the day to finally go for it. </div>

The bracelets geometric shape adds an extra factor making the whole look just a bit more interesting and unexpected. </div>

The dainty gold-necklace adds a bit more class to the look making the whole outfit seem more sophisticated and put-together.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gotta say, writing about your outfit and why you chose what you chose is a bit weird considering the fact that I usually don't really have any reason to the choices, just that I was in the mood for it. Hopefully as I continue each post I'll be able to be better at both styling and writing my thought-process down. </div>

As January is coming to an end, I figured it was time to reflect on some of the looks I did. While some I've noticed was not as great as others, it was still fun to start documenting my outfits each day. So minus the days that I did not leave the house and the days that I chose to take a lazy day and wear yoga-pants and hoodies, here are the looks I managed to document:</div>

Since I began my more than a year stay here in the Bay Area, never before has the temperature to such low degrees. For the last couple of days it has been snow-worthy temperatures without any signs of the sky snowing anytime soon. Needless to say going out without putting on at least a scarf and a jacket would be a definite way to catch the cold. Overall today's color combination is very muted and dark to match the unbearable degrees and cruel winds outside.<br />
