Smiling is my favorite (except in the last picture)

My shoes came!!!! They're a little tight and I think I'll have to cut a toe off but they're so worth it. The shirt fit like a grandma shirt and I don't have time to go to the mall to return it so I guess I'll just throw it away.

What I do best

Yesterday Chase and I went to the Fashion District of L.A. We loved it. It reminded us of the street markets in Hong Kong, Korea, and the Philippines but filled with Mexicans.

We didn't buy any clothes. Just food. Always. The whole place sold cheap overpriced goods...like the malls aren't stocked full of that already. But it's at least three times more fun in a dirty alley with food carts.

Stop staring at my chest

My outfit from yesterday was inspired by EmersonMade. I've got her signature flared jeans and big flower down. I had to make up the rest.

Grossest thing I ever ate

...was not chicken feet.

taken by me in the Philippines last summer

In Korean foods, I love sun-dae (pig/cow intestines stuffed with noodles and veggies) and sun-dae-guk but Chase thinks the latter tastes like blood. It doesn't. He's just American. I've also had fried larvae but that was for extra credit in school once so it doesn't really count. Most recently I tried a Filipino dish called sisig but I couldn't finish it after Chase told me it was chopped up pig's face...and then I realized how American I was too.

What's the grossest thing you ever ate?

Why is my bow crooked

Wore this yesterday on Thursday. The high was 80degrees!! And I wore tights. I guess it's still too cold for me.

KUTE Clothes

Round three! If you missed it, check out the first and second posts for KUTE Clothes.

So I've been on the edge of my seat with KUTE Clothes lately. We've emailed back and forth and they told me they were getting a huge shipment. They already got a few new pieces updated on their website but THIS jacket is definitely my fave!! ..more so than this one I featured a while ago...and it's cheaper!

I would wear this with my Hanes men's t-shirt, my black skinny jeans, and my Tsubo boots for a quick and comfy outfit. Perfect for traveling!

Is this something you would wear? What would you wear it with?

Do you hoodie?

I wore this yesterday. Only for a few hours because I left work early. We took some Mormon missionaries to an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ restaurant and I think a few uncooked meats may have fallen into my mouth accidentally. I don't know. It all happened so fast.

Jewel Valley Pendant Giveaway (CLOSED)

Are you a gemstone fan? Then Jewel Valley is the store for you! They have all sorts of gemstones that I've never even heard of. I think I recognize like three stones. All of their jewelry is one-of-a-kind and handmade so you know that girl isn't wearing the same jewelry as you. This store is no mass-producing Forever 21. Their prices may shock you at first but they are 80% less than retail prices!! It's like BAM! You just made $50.

Cutter, Stealer

Hello, world! I can see again!! I cut my bangs a couple nights ago. I think I like it. I don't know. I just got tired of having hair in my face. Chase liked my longer bangs. He said it reminded him of when we were dating.  And then I cut them right then and there. I don't want him to remember me as his child bride every time he looks at my hair. (I got married when I was 19. Don't judge.)

Waiting

Bought these online from JCPenney with my gift card a couple of days ago. The hardest part is waiting. A girl can never have too many striped shirts in her closet. (I got it in gray.) And I love the bow and thick heel of these red bow heels!

Street/Church/Friend Style

I haven't done a street style post in like forever. You can't blame me though... Okay, I guess you can. But this is me redeeming myself... Meet my friend, Kari. Isn't she gorgeous? She's such a hottie. She's also taken so don't get any ideas.

Saturday is a special day

Yesterday Chase and I did stuff...which is a big deal because we're boring. Chase took me shopping because I've been complaining to him (and you guys) about how much I hated my clothes. (I bought pants.) On the way we spotted the famous Kogi foodtruck so we had to pull over. It was DELICIOUS. We've had Korean tacos before but these are the real deal.

This is me tweeting.

Moooovies

I LOVE movies. It seems there have been a spew of bad movies rolling into the theaters lately so Chase and I haven't gone for a while. I love chick flicks like the new Pride and Prejudice (love!!!!) and stupid-funny movies (the okay ones because let's admit it, they're supposed to be stupid). I'm not a fan of action or serious dramas because I hate blood and fighting and dramas are boring. But I liked the Bourne movies. I canNOT watch horror movies. I'll get nightmares because I'm a wuss. Confession: I also love children's movies and my brother-in-law likes to make fun of me for that because I fill up his Netflix with kids' movies! Like I watch Up and Despicable Me on repeat all day and Chase hates me for it.

What kind of movies do you like? And what have you seen recently that you love?

Just One

Another outfit I didn't like this week. I'm on a roll. You only get one picture today because Chase was in a rush (and missed his bus) and I rolled my ankle and slammed the other foot in the car door. So, yeah. Adequate pictures were the last thing on our minds this morning. On to better news...I'm going to assume you all have entered my giveaway. But are you following my blog on Bloglovin'? ..because you can get an extra entry! Just let me know in a comment below that you're my stalker.

Reader Question: Red Pants

I got a question from Alexandra, a graduate student and research assistant, about how to wear red pants. This is easy:  I don't know either. Though I have been eyeing some red skinnies ever since I saw Kendi sporting some. Alexandra has red straight-leg work pants. I personally don't like or know how to style straight-leg pants unless they're baggier...then you can just roll them up, but she said hers were a tighter fit.

My first option would be to hem them so they're cropped.

Mixed Metals

So I've had this dress for like a year but this is only my third time wearing it. I hate when that happens!!! Clothes are meant to be WORN, not stowed away in your closet. If they are, you should probably give them to me and I'll wear them once a year for you.

Easy Peasy Necklace Holders

I've seen a lot of those picture frame necklace holders circulating the interweb but didn't like the idea of the bottoms of my necklaces still cluttering my vanity. I saw this idea on Apartment Therapy a while ago and loved it! ..especially since we had a lot of Filipino and Hong Kong coins from our trip last summer! I nailed 1" nails at an angle and then glued the coins on the bed. Easy peasy.

You'll need...

• a hammer
• nails
• foreign coins
• super/hot glue

And then it should like kind of like this but better.

How do you organize your necklaces?

This outfit is like whatever

Mmm, didn't really like this outfit. It may have to do with the fact that I had to untie my scarf-belt every time I went to the bathroom which is like every hour so it got pretty annoying fast. I've got to the point of just letting it hang loose. The scarf, sickos.

Ruche Necklace and Ring Giveaway (CLOSED)

Ruche was started and is owned by a couple, Mai and Josh Olivo. They both left their corporate jobs three years ago to pursue this cute vintage-yet-modern online boutique! It's like a dream come true...except for the no sleeping part. Ruche is a collaboration of everything that has inspired [them] - fashion, photography, design, and lifestyle. {source} They even carry clothing for the curvy girl, from indie brands and designers, and that is eco-friendly! It's like they can please everyone.

Fake Suit for a Fake Businesswoman

You guys, I'm not a suit person...like I have ZERO suits. So I have to make do for my jobs that have never required me to wear a suit. But once in a year is fun. Maybe not...because I'm selling this blazer! I just haven't worn it in a while but now that I know I can wear it as a fake suit, I might keep it...unless someone grabs it first...here.

Reader Question: Backpacking-in-Europe Wear

I got another reader question from Cat who is going BACKPACKING in EUROPE. I'm hoping she'll take me with her and her husband. I'll just nestle between them in their bed. They'll never notice me I'm so quiet. Anyway, she will be walking tons and will need to pack light to fit everything into a 20x24 bag. Chase and I backpacked in the Philippines last summer, not because we're hip and cool but because rolling suitcases would have been too much of a hassle. I was also hot, sweaty, and gross for a whole month so I'm super jealous of Cat and her nicer European weather.

Cat said she wanted to wear a skirt but didn't know how to wear it and she mentioned bringing two pairs of jeans. I say scrap one pair of the jeans and bring a denim skirt instead! With these pieces, I can already see 5 or 6 outfits. And check out the convertible bag!! When you already have a backpack, a day backpack is annoying to tote around between cities along with your bigger backpack so a convertible one for the day would be perfect.

It's like I just got off the runway...or not

This was inspired by the Dries Van Noten Fall 2010 RTW collection....again. I just love this color palette right now even if it has been in the gorgeous 70s lately. If I had walked outside at all today this sweater would have been too much but my workplace is FREEZING. I am starting to think I should wear tights too but that might confuse outside folk.

I think I already need new shoes

I didn't really like this outfit. The brown clogs are totally off. I would've much rather worn these sequin pumps instead. Somebody get them for me please? No? Chase's birthday is coming up so I think I'll get them for myself. My present to him is I'll be happy. Maybe I'll throw a kiss or two in there as well...for me, I mean.

Today's Getting-to-Know-You question was submitted by Ava! 

What are your favorite bands and/or music to listen to right now?

Chase has a ton of music and when we were first married, he scoffed at my selection of Dashboard Confessional and Michael Buble. I'm over Dashboard now but we both love Mr. Michael. Chase has converted me over to the likings of Daft Punk and Ratatat. I'm still trying to love reggae for him but I don't think I can do it. I've recently been listening to Ingrid Michaelson a lot. Is she old school now? I feel like everybody's already over her. I'm not into the music scene as you can see. Are the Backstreet Boys still together?? What year is this?

Almost a Tux But Not

My sequin blazer came out to play. I have trouble styling this bad boy. I keep leaning towards black on the bottom and pops of color and I've already done that here. I'm thinking yellow pants is next on my list. Yellow is versatile, right? At least it would look hot with this blazer.

Reader Question: Winter Wear

I recently got a question from a reader who was wondering what outfits she could wear in Canada. I've never been to Canada during the winter and that's probably a good thing because I thought Utah was cold enough for me. I don't remember what I wore during the Utah winters but I don't want to know because they were probably horrible. So with a little imagination and unlimited funds, here are a few outfits I wouldn't mind sporting around in the snow (but I'd rather not).

More Please

I can't stop wearing these clogs. They are my new Tsubo shoes. Remember when I wore those for like a month straight? I think I've got shoe fever...and the only prescription is more cowbell. (I couldn't help it!) Obviously, the answer is I need more shoes. But nothing will fit my wide feet. My life sucks.

You only get three pictures

If you can believe it, this is the same shirt I wore yesterday! What??? I'm so awesome?? I know. (Also, notice I didn't wrap my boobs as a present but wrapped my shirt at my waist. Please take note...) Totally broke one of my rules today... I HATE(d) long skirts/dresses with heels! It's just one of those things - I didn't understand why I didn't like it or what I didn't like about it but I knew I didn't like it...until today when I decided I hated all my flats. (Not true.) This won't be the last time you'll see this dress and these clogs together. Just sayin'.

TAG! I'm it!

Kendi tagged me in a "7 Things about You" post for the stupid school years. I couldn't pass this up because I was so cute even back then.

Guess which one I am? You'll never know.

1. When I was in kindergarten, I had a "boyfriend". Then I saw him playing with another girl during recess and I punched him. We never talked after that.
2. One time for Christmas I got a bunny costume as a present (Santa sucked then)...and I still put it on. This was before I knew what "A Christmas Story" was. Now I love that movie.
3. My dad got me a car for a month in high school (before it died). It was a white beat-up Toyota Corolla that smelled like smoke and had a Grand Theft Auto sticker on the back right bumper.
4. In high school I was on the track team and we had a meet that day so I guzzled water all day. When I got up to go to the bathroom (probably for the nth time) in my math class, my teacher asked me if I had a medical problem. I should've said yes.
5. I left high school a semester early to go to college. I didn't graduate early. I took the courses I needed to graduate from high school at college (double dip!). Best decision ever. College is 12309874x better than high school.
6. I took ESL (English as a Second Language) until 7th grade. I guess they didn't think I spoke good Engrish then. (Sorry, couldn't help it.)
7. In third grade, my teacher made me and another Korean boy go up to the front of the class and speak Korean to each other. We said hi.

Tell me something about your stupid school years...preferably something embarrassing.

Like So Classy

This was my back-up outfit. My first outfit sucked so this is what I wore instead. I always make a back-up outfit when I have an iffy outfit. In cases like this, I almost always wear the back-up outfit...like always. And they're usually a lot better than the first. But it takes me longer to get to bed because I have to come up with TWO outfits. Life is so hard sometimes.

These were actually taken in the morning

It was Chase's first day of school today. Hasn't it been nice having my pictures well-lit (kind-of) and taken outside?? If enough people vote for it, maybe he'll quit school and become my photographer full-time...and my chauffeur so I can surf the internet while stuck in one-hour traffic to go to work that's ten miles away.

Much Clueless

Are knee-high socks back in fash now? I guess so because I saw Sydney sporting them a few months ago and it has stuck since. I've tried it before but nixed it because I thought it looked too Clueless. (Still love that movie.) The only thing I didn't like about wearing these socks was I was warm everywhere EXCEPT my knees. Time to invest in some knee-pads. They're like leg warmers...but for your knees.

We are family

{taken in San Diego by Chase}

I thought we should cover the most important part about ourselves today...our family! I have a mom and dad...and they drive me CRAZY. When I was growing up, my parents were set in their Korean ways whereas I grew accustomed to American culture so there was a lot of miscommunication and cultural differences. Things are better now that I married a white guy. Chase doesn't speak Korean (just a few words/phrases here and there) but my mom does...and I guess that's all that matters to her because she just talks to him in Korean anyway. We're working on that. I also have a younger brother and a youngerer sister. My brother is on a Mormon mission in Spain and has been gone for two years but is coming home next month! My sister is going to school in Utah at BYU. None of us look alike...but it's okay because I'm the pretty one. (Just kidding. My sister is pretty too.) When our whole family is together, we're loud, crazy, blunt, and we make fun of each other a lot.

So who is in your family? And what is your family like??

That's not my shirt

Are you guys sick of me wearing my husband's clothes yet? Don't worry.. I'm not getting dressed tomorrow and I've already worn all of Chase's things that fit me. I'm just so sick of my clothes!! My problem is I have no shirts because 92% are Hanes t-shirts (trust me, I'm a doctor). Maybe I should make it a project next week to style those shirts in as many ways as I can. Or not. Whatevs.

Paparazzi Perhaps

I stole Chase's shirt today. He was sleeping so it's okay. It's the same shirt he wore here. I basically stole his whole outfit! This isn't the first time we've dressed similar (at different times). So who wore it best? Just wanted to clarify... This shirt shrunk in the wash and doesn't fit Chase anymore, which is why I wore it instead!

I should probably save this for when I'm pregnant..

Yesterday's outfit was easy - Kendi had already picked it out for me. Today was different. I was stuck. So I asked Chase what I should wear. And he picked out a whole outfit for me to wear...and I rejected it. And then I came up with this. I wish I could say Chase and I were like Tieka and her husband but we're not. I don't usually like what Chase picks out for me but I ask him anyway...because he's my best friend and best friends talk about clothes and outfits. (I think this is a sign I need more friends.)

Copy(Kendi)cat

Yesterday, Kendi posted this outfit. And today I copied her. We're totally twins, except I'm not white. (Only on the inside.) If you didn't know already, she has my pants. And by my pants I mean she got herself a pair from Anthropologie too. It'll be nice to get some more ideas on how to wear these baggy-crotch-diaper-man-pants. That's what I would have named them if I were them.

I'm a working woman

Today was the first day of my NEW job. (This is different from my other first day at my then-new job.) I'm the new account coordinator at Shopzilla. So if you want to sign up for a publisher account at Beso.com, I'm the one who's going to accept or reject you...so you better be nice to me or I'll take all the money from your account. (Not really.)

You guys are probably thinking I've been shamelessly promoting Beso and their publisher program.. And I have. Only because I appreciate their cost-per-click (CPC). Shopstyle pays you next to nothing for your clicks! I did some research online and have found several accounts of people saying they paid $.003 or something ridiculously low like that. On top of the low CPC, you have the $100 pay limit which takes forever to build up. Beso, on the other hand, pays you $.05 to $.11 per click and their pay limit is $50. You do the math. I use both. Please know this is MY blog and I promise all Beso content is for my BLOG only and NOT work-related. That's my promise to you. Promise. Besides that little bit, I really like my new job and work place. :)

So this is what I wore for my first day of work. I wasn't aware of the dress code so I wore a skirt...and was the only one. Not awkward at all on a first day.. You guys, I broke one of my rules... I wore like colors...again! I should just get rid of that rule altogether because I break it so much. Colored tights are still hard for me to style. But I've been itching to break the like-color rule and love how it turned out (again).

I'm wearing a JCPenney trenchcoat (free with gift card), Gap shirt ($12), JCPenney broach (free with gift card), Forever 21 skirt (gift from my sister-in-law), We Love Colors tights (courtesy of We Love Colors), JCPenney heels (free with gift card), and JCPenney bag (free with gift card).
