Hi everyone! Long time no see. Things have been very busy! I just moved to Korea a month ago, so pictures will be few and far between from now on as I don't have a remote for my camera anymore. Yes, I remembered to bring a tripod, and completely forgot the remote. Silly me. Luckily, Nam Huynh took these gorgeous photos during a weekend trip to Seoul to see the Andy Warhol exhibit at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza.
This is probably my favourite outfit that I packed from home. Truth be told, I'm in a bit of a style rut at the moment. My wardrobe is limited to a lot of basics, which... isn't really my style? You all know I'm not a t-shirt and jeans type of girl, and the items I love aren't exactly meant for everyday wear either (oh non-versatile pieces and short skirts, how I love you), let alone work. I just brought what I thought I could wear in a conservative professional atmosphere. In reality, the school I teach at is pretty laid back, and some of the teachers will just wear jeans and a t-shirt, but still, I've already been told I look "young" when I'm wearing a cute dress (ok, said dress might look like a British school uniform, but that's not common in Canada!), so I feel like wearing some of my skirts won't help that image. On the plus side, the kids like me and think I dress well.
Anyways, enough complaining about a lack of clothes. This is probably my two favourite pieces that I brought with me. The suede skirt and organza back shirt are both surprisingly versatile, at work as well as on my days off. I actually ripped apart an old shirt and redid the back after seeing one of Marissa Webb's designs. This is what happens when you're poor – you go on a DIY spree. But it looks cool, and is surprisingly versatile (unless you're in rural Korea, in which case one needs to wear a tank top underneath the sheer back, which definitely takes away from the look).
