Afternoon Randomness From My Camera Phone: Jcrew Minnie Pants, Loft Stuff & Other Musing

Jcrew Minnie Stretch Twill. 00P. Hate these with a passion. They get saggier and saggier through out the day -- look at the knee area. The length is not flattering and makes my short legs look shorter. They are my last resort pants.

Loft Skirt. 00P. On sale for $14.99! Wanted to get it, but doesn't look too good on me.

The Loft Scuba Pants - Marisa fit. 00P. Not so much for me.

SF Street Fashion

American Apparel Shorts , Free People Top & Aritzia Finds!

The weather has been nuts. It's been cold all week and it's 80 degrees today! Well now (night time), it's foggy & freezing again. I'm not complaining about the heat, but I wished it would be consistent because it's doing crazy things to my skin!
I

Wearing:

Steve Madden Black Kitten Heels. Size 6. (similar here & here)
See by Chloe Purse.

Face:
My skin has been really dry lately especially my cheeks.
Instead of wearing a powder blush, a cream blush will be a better option. It's more moisturizing and gives a nice dewy look. You can also wear cream blush on your lips too. It's kind of hard to tell from the picture :(
I'm wearing Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge on lips and cheeks. Color Powder Pink.
For application on cheeks, apply with a foundation brush.

Wearing:

Forever 21 Olive Strapless Jumpsuit: Size S. I bought this for my trip to Cabo, but it was too much clothes for the heat. (similar here, here & here).

Armani Exchange Wrap Sweater. XS. (similar here)

Bebe 00 Suit Jacket

Thank you fellow neighbors for not calling the cops on me. :)

Wearing:

Bebe Suit Jacket. 00. (similar here & here). Fits great, no complaints. I have the matching skirt & the waist is loose. Just an FYI -- bebe has very inconsistent sizes. I have 00P pants that run large and I have size 0 pants that fit snug everywhere, but waist is loose and length is too long. I also tried on a pair of shorts in 00P recently and I swear I was swimming in them!

Juicy Juicy

Even though I do have a couple of Juicy Hoodies from a couple of years ago, it never crosses my mind to go into their store. I was heading towards Forever21 and had a change of heart because it was too cold and windy outside the mall. I thought Juicy will do.

I found these two cute top and intended to wear these when I go on vacation because it's never hot in SF! Well SF decided to prove me wrong because it's hot this weekend. I am definitely not complaining!

Outfit Details:

Stripe Scope Neck Top $58 Juicy Couture. I'm wearing size S because they didn't have any XS in the store and I like the top so much I decided to buy it even though it's loose. I'm sure the XS would fit much better. You can't really tell in the picture, but the arm holes are really big. If I didn't tuck in the top, the shirt hangs down to the point where it almost cover my shorts. Maybe I'll take it for alterations...

Cotton Sateen Stretch Shorts by Talula from Aritzia $40 Size 0. Overall fit is fine. The waist is pretty big...definitely can't wear without a belt.

Leather equestrian belt from Jcrew $45. I cut off the tag from the belt, but I think the size I got is XS. Also Jcrew recently launched a new site called Madewell. It looks like a more casual and less expensive version. Let me know if you get anything from there and how their stuff fits.

Tory Burch "Sally 2" Peeptoe Wedges from Bloomindgales $265-- I got these in size 5.5 and they are pretty true to size. I been wearing these a lot and they are stretching out a bit.
I also wore these on my May 31 post.



Top is from Juicy Couture $58. Size XS. Sorry there isn't a link. I can't find it anywhere online. I love the flutter bell sleeves and the faded graphics. The printed is actually printed on the inside of the shirt! The sheer material of the shirts allows the image to show through.

Liquid Leggings are from Bebe XS. I got these for $2 from the Bebe sample sale. Sophia and I went last year and we got a whole bunch of stuff for $2. It was in a big warehouse packed with miles of people. It was insanity.

BCBGirls Black Pumps Size 6. These run 1/2 too small. Here is something similar from Nordies and it's on sale for $38.90. BCBGeneration 'Alena' Pump (Nordstrom Exclusive).

Looking for some bootie?

Vince Camuto "Amber" Peep Toes Bootie from Nordstroms $119: Runs 1/2 size too big. Leather is really nice for the price. Heel is pretty high. Don't recommend walking around for too long!

Lace Tank from Aritzia: $38. XXS. Long in length. Fitted all the way through.

FP Skinny Knit Pants from Free People $68: Size 23. Runs true to size.

Plaid Button Top from H&M. Size 2. Fits true.

Zipper Stud Earrings- Marc by Marc Jacobs from Net-a-Porter. On sale for $40.60. I <3>

Zara Finds

I have forgotten about Zara and have been disappointed the few time I've been in there with their selection and sizes. I'm glad I decided to give Zara a second chance! This top is one of the finds from there and I absolutely love it. The fabric is really soft and drapes nicely. I also love the bow detail as well.



Outfit Detail:

Top is Zara Basics in Size S (come in 2 sizes only - S & M - random!) for $25.90 (pricing is kind of random too).

Skinny Khakis from Zara. Size 2. I think these were $30 pants. I got them awhile ago. Waist is definitely too big. I'm wearing a belt...not sure if you could see it bulging through the shirt! The length is 2" too long. I folded it over. I was too lazy to take it to alterations.

Shoes are are favorite and I will always love them! They are Tory Burch. She makes the most amazing shoes. I've gotten so many compliments. I was at a conference in Texas last year and a couple of guys came up to me (and they were straight) and said wow they are cool shoes. I thought to myself Texans looove me....haha! Then I had a few more people approach me to tell me those are pretty awesome shoes. So I came to the conclusion that they just love my shoes and NOT ME!
