I'll probably be switching this blog over to a lifestyle blog one day just because I'm not nearly narcissistic enough to continuously take enough photos of me in outfits to keep up this blog. It's just awkward taking a photo of yourself by yourself unless you're on vacation. And I don't want to become part of that large population of people, who take photos of themselves all the time. For the most part, I only started taking outfit photos to document particularly creative outfits or really special pieces of clothing that I wanted to show off.

A few months ago, I hit up a The Kooples sample sale and it was high key, the best thing ever. I picked up around $2,500 worth of clothing for 90% off and the best part was, they had the full size range for almost every item there, so it's not like you had to dig to find something nice. This pencil skirt is one of my favorite finds from the day. It has some of the signature piercing details that The Kooples does on a lot of their clothes, but it's not overkill.

Last Thursday, I attended the Chinese New Years festivities at South Coast Plaza. This finally gave me a chance to wear the Ted Baker dress I got a few months ago. This red rose bouquet of Ted's is one of my favorite patterns that he's come out with. The color scheme reminds me of the "Mr. Brightside" music video and the long, sleek lower half of it makes me look taller than I actually am.

I went through this phase where I was really obsessed with everything Burberry. My obsession peaked around the George Craig-era of Burberry, or like the 2009/2010 time period. It was a pretty crazy time in which I decorated my binders and locker (Yeah, this happened during high school) with Burberry campaigns. I would save up my money just so that I could buy up Burberry items and always asked for Burberry items for my birthday/Christmas. I bought enough to even get myself invited to private Burberry parties (as a 16-year-old!).
My obsession has definitely calmed down in the last four years but I still like to break out the trench coat every chance I get - partly because it looks cool, partly because it makes me feel like a secret agent. Anyways, most of the time I just pair the trench coat with a head to toe black outfit because it just looks sleeker and makes me feel even more like a secret agent and that's what it's really all about, right?
