Spring Trench

The weather's been extremely cuckoo lately. One minute it's scorching hot, the next it's cold and rainy blehhh. LA's mild weather is long gone and Mother Nature is throwing me all off with her PMS! To cope with her moodiness, I raided my closet and brought out this spring trench to add some sunshine to a gloomy day.

Coat: Forever 21
Top: Ann Taylor
Pants: Gap Slim Crop Pants 
Shoes: Ann Taylor
Belt: Ann Taylor
Purse: Chanel
Jewelry: all Amrita Singh (obsessed much?)

See that picture up there? That's a very attractive photo of me covering my mouth and sneezing like crazy. I am extremely sensitive to "coldness" so even a slight breeze will send me into a sneezing frenzy. My body reacts so quickly; it's probably more accurate to rely on me to predict the weather than all those fancy equipments like doppler forecasts lol.


I saw these cropped pants online and was drawn to the clean and sleek silhouette. But I'm not big on the cropped look so I opted for regular sizing for that extra length. I wanted "cigarette leg" pants but didn't quite achieve it with these. The leg opening is a little wide for my taste. I would like it more if it were slimmer and more tapered.


These pants are super comfy but what's up with the bunching? Ughhhh! Are they keepers or not?


Close up look of the shirt and necklace. A girl in my class wore a similar shirt while doing a presentation and I was definitely paying more attention to her shirt rather than what she had to say lol. I was too shy to ask where she got it from...so when I saw this shirt at Ann Taylor, I just had to have it!


Warm weather, please come out and play! <3

  3. The pants look great on you! Or at least that's how it would wear on me too. Try other brands and see if they all bunch up similarly. Ah what do I know...LOL!

    Canadianpetite: oh i'm glad to know i'm not the only one that reacts to weather changes hehe. i get the sniffles every morning too. and my sneezes comes in 10s and SUPER loud so it can be quite embarrassing. i tell people they don't have to say "bless you" every single time because it could take a while lol.

  13. These pants are definitely a keeper, they look great on you and make your legs look so long and lean. The bunching is not very noticeable because your bag and a coat will distract that :) I am obsessed with your bag, simply beautiful.
