i’m heading back to beijing this coming Monday…it’s so weird. 2 months. what seemed originally like eternity has turned into a second. a flicker, really. i’ve just had enough time to go see all my good friends and eat as much fresh food as I can. As much as I’m looking forward to returning, I’m a little weary of the pollution/lack of edible food/language barrier. but alas, if something isn’t challenging, it’s not worth doing, right?

these pants are surprisingly easy to wear. i was going to wear a black leather tshirt originally but then opted for my new slouchy vintage sweater.  it’s also freezing out now (literally) and anything less than a cm of wool is just crazy. I also think i got a little frostbitten when i wore my zara pumps earlier…which unlike the sweater offered no insulation. ha.

    These pants look amazing on you. I have the same pants from the Versace for H&M collection.
    They look better on you :) and I love the swear you matched them with.

    TICKET TO THE TROPICS! I really love the slouch of this sweater and that clutch!!! Girl I know there’s a dog in there!!!!

    Have a safe trip back to Peking! I myself will be heading back to Zoo York after 2 weeks getaway. Sigh. We’re both are on the go but different destinations. When will we cross paths again?!

    I would have NEVER thought of styling these pants that way. Everyone else I’ve seen has paired them with yellow/ more red/ etc…but no white! Seriously, this is phenomenal, Vanessa!

    Pairing white with those pants is genius and unconventional. The d’orsay heels and furry clutch make such chic accents.

    Yes!! So comfy and wearable. I wasn’t too sure at first but now I love them. Have a safe trip back to beijing.
    I left Vancouver and went to Italy for a year last year and I felt homesick there but as soon as I got back here I wanted to go back there. Italy felt more like home to me.

    hey V! love the outfit- those pants are killer and the sweater looks so cozy! I haven’t been to H&M in ages (on a shopping ban right now, :( and I’ve been wanting to check out the Versace collection. Even more now after seeing those pants! And I have the same shoes, I love them, but man, mine squeeze my toes something fierce- do yours?

    You look great and hope you’re having a great holiday season!

    Cheers!
