Xmas photo with J.Crew Lady Day Coat

Merry Christmas! I'm finally out of my "black" streak (black pants, black blazer, black trench, black tee, concert black!)

Mourning is over folks! I'm bringing back color and joy to the world, haha! Thanks to being inspired by the colorful llama print loungers from Anthro :)

For me, black means seriousness, and "color" means happiness!

When it comes to good photo-taking (ie. to send to your grandma for Christmas), vivid colors always stand out the best! My favorite colors happen to be orange and purple...

Featuring:
Old J.Crew Double-Cloth Lady Day Coat (size 0 petite), mentioned here.

Funny Face inspiration

Last week, I watched the 1957 movie Funny Face for the first time. Of all the fashionable outfits that Audrey Hepburn wears, I was most enthusiastic about her "nerdy bookstore clerk" attire! 

Here are some other reasons I love the movie:

1. Fred Astaire wears the most interesting socks to match his outfits. I appreciate guys who are thoughtful about their socks.

2. Audrey Hepburn gives a shout-out to "Omaha."

3. There's a little car featured in there that reminds me of today's Smart Car. I did not know there existed small city cars back then too.

4. Wearing all black (or a black turtleneck) automatically makes a person appear smarter.

5. Lastly, I'm obsessed with the hooded rain jacket that Audrey Hepburn sports in Paris:

...one of those timeless items that I can see people wearing right now!

Here's my outfit inspired by the movie:

Featuring: Target Merona Ultimate long-sleeve crew tee size S and old H&M houndstooth skirt (wearing size 6; see Extra Petite in size 2). I always stock up on these Target tees since they are amazingly warm yet soft and lightweight, much more comfortable than an itchy sweater! 

What are your favorite moments/outfits from Funny Face?
