new denim

dsc_0091

this will be my first chinese new year in china and i’m pretty excited to see what it’s gonna be like. nic and i went to the store today to get ‘supplies’. apparently it’s going to be hard to get around town starting sunday. most people will be closed until February, likely visiting family and taking some much deserved time off. as for me, no family this year but i’ll probably be corralled into an expat dinner with friends.

i wonder how many posts i’ve worn these sam edleman boots in. they are still one of my favorite pairs of shoes. ever. so light and sorta indestructible, which says a lot because i neglect almost everything i own. nic asked me today: ‘doesn’t it bother your readers that you always wear the same thing?’ ha. he learns fast that one.

i think i might cut my hair again. it’s starting to creep into that awkward in between length and i don’t think i’ll have the will power to not chop it off. well like maybe a couple inches. ha we’ll see. it’s not good luck to cut your hair after new years, btw. one of many superstitions around new years. joy!

dsc_0115

aren’t these jeans awesome? i live in jeans but rarely wear them on my blog because the two pair i wear (of like the 30 or so pairs i own) are raggedy. so…not awesome.

wearing Yesstyle furry coat, Isabel Marant jeans, Sam Edelman Zoe Boots, Michael Kors gold watch (model MK5055)

    Those jeans are stunning! In love with the print, it’s so funny because before my current job I literally never wore jeans but because it is a necessity it’s all I wear now.

    I love the print on your pants…it’s quite nice that it’s not completely all over, but strategically placed. I hope you have a wonderful Chinese New Year, I’ve always wanted to spend that tradition in Asia instead of in Chinatown…the entire atmosphere must be so much different. Happy Chinese New Year! xx

    hey V! omg i’ve been dying over those Isabel Marant jeans forever!! So jealous!! but you look great! i love how you’ve been dressing so minimalist but yet you always find new ways to wear simple items to make them pop. you should totally do an angled bob with one side longer, a la Rihanna, you’d totally pull it off. i’m so wanting to cut my hair too!

    I’ve been reading your blog for quite a long time, and I can say that no, I don’t get tired of you wearing the same things :) I think that wearing specific items over and over again shows a true sense of personal style (as opposed to blindly following the passing trends). I think it’s also really cool to see how many ways a specific item can be styled. Keep up with the good work! And happy new year :)
