Once again, I got my scissors and cut cut cut my mom's vintage button-down without her knowing. I think it looks more interesting now. Tried a subtler version of the color blocking trend which is so HOT this SUMMER. Haha get it? HOT and...SUMMER. Okaaay, I'm so corny. HAHAHA! Sorry I can't help it, I'm just so happy that I'm officially on break! Le sigh...I feel much chipper and optimistic now that I'm done with this term. All those paperwork burned me out and left me uninspired I guess. So...back to the outfit. I'm wearing my mom's vintage beige/nude button-down which I DIY-ed, resurrected these neon pink skinny jeans that was in vogue back then (yes, I was gaga over colored jeans before oh c'mon admit it you bought it in every possible color too, right? HAHA), and finished the look with these bright orange pumps from SM. I'm also trying out the orange lipstick. I think it's perfect for summer. It just adds that beach-y, goddess-y glow to your complexion. :)
On a totes different note, I came across this photo of my mom when she was my age and I can't help but squeal with delight when I saw her wearing these immaculate white wide-leg jeans and carrying a super cool fold-able clutch! I've been wanting to add these two staples in my closet! Too bad she didn't keep these items.After I got past noticing her outfit, I suddenly felt weird seeing her looking this young. Just so weird to know that my mom was once a teenager too. Haha! Anyhoo, I posted this on my FB and my friends kept on commenting that I look like her and that we have the same figure. (Really?!) So I showed the pic and my friends' comments to my mom and you know what she said? She said: "Yes I once had the same figure but you don't have...boobs". Uh-huh, those were the words of my mother. She smugly told me that and laughed at me. My jaw just dropped and I yelled at her for wounding my vanity. HAHAHA!
Oh mom. She is indeed very beautiful. Inside and out. I love her no matter what.
XO.
