Skirting The Issue

Pencils skirts are kind of my thing lately. Having been sent to the Office of Student Behavior twice now for wearing short hemmed skirts with a corresponding punishment of attending a seminar aptly called Turning Over A New Leaf (I had to pinch myself real hard under the table to keep myself from bursting into a fit of snarky and disdainful laughter in front of this stern officer) just made me more determined to ditch my itty bitty skirts...for a while. And yes, I wore this outfit to school Mr. Skirt Police.

I just had to post at least one look donning a sweater for the holidays. It might not be as noticeably chilly now than the past couple of years but there's something about a snug wool-y pullover that just completes the yuletide season. They didn't call it sweater weather for no reason, right?

Style Files: Karla Deras

"I think if people just learned to embrace their own individuality, we wouldn't judge one another." -Karla Deras, Karla's Closet

Okay, so this is the first of its kind here on the blog where I devote a portion of it to my fave bloggers/style stars. First up in this segment called "Style Files" is my fave style blogger, Karla Deras of Karla's Closet. I'm perfectly aware that almost all fashion bloggers know Karla (unless you've been living under a rock) but she isn't well-known and looked up to by many for nothing. I have to say that aside from my mom, Karla Deras would have to be my style icon. Her style is fearless, sometimes androgynous and always classy. I love that she embraces femininity by wearing clothes that hug and accentuate the female body and that she is no moviestar/celebrity (just an ordinary girl who happens to have a blog and a lot of followers haha) but she dresses-up like one! It's like she's starring in her own movie that is her life. But I guess what I love the most about her style is that she isn't afraid to dress-up even if she's just off to get coffee at Starbucks in a tutu and sky-high heels. Truly, she is a celebrity in her own right. :)














Karla and her blog inspired me to come up with my own blog after reading hers (plus I was looking for a way to document my style/sartorial choices then) so I guess this is paying homage to her. Haha! I had such a hard time choosing which photos to put here so go check out Karla's blog yourself if you haven't yet! :)
