When people think about fashion, oftentimes they get intimidated. And to be honest, fashion can be intimidating when you see names like Proenza Schouler and Herve Leger scrawled throughout fashion magazines. It can be nerve wracking walking into an Yves Saint Laurent store when there are half a dozen sales associates staring you down and only one of you.

I want fashion to be a safe forum for everyone because after all, that’s what fashion is really about. It’s about what makes you feel good and about celebrating everyone’s beauty. It’s not just something for an elite group of kale-eating, Soulcycling women.

More than that, I want to share with you what I’ve learned about fashion throughout the years and what’s worked for me. As a petite, Asian female, it can be hard finding real fashion advice that works. I know I can’t be the only one that struggles with finding fashion that works for short girls or beauty trends that work for Asian complexions.
