I feel a lot more confident with my closet, I like having a range of colors along with my traditional burgundy and black. I think any girl will feel happy with looking at her closet and seeing it full of clothes. My closet hasn't been this full in ages! I got rid of a lot of clothes that I felt no longer fit my style, and have instead opted for pieces that you wouldn't find anybody in my neighborhood wearing. I think that's why I loved Nagoya (or cities in Japan in general), I felt a lot more free with my fashion style, while here in socal, you'll only find freedom of fashion in LA because nobody cares what you wear; everybody is kind of odd there anyway, so you won't stand out. My neighborhood in Japan was very conservative, so even there I felt restricted. It was only in the big cities that I felt air to breathe and just dress like how I wanted to.
top; H&M, bottom; f21, bag; dooney and bourke, sunglasses; rotterdam, NL
Southern California weather is somewhat bi-polar, it can never decide what season it is and/or whether to keep to pattern; any socal resident can agree with me on this! I'll wake up with it raining and it will end up being warm and sunny the rest of the day, so I've been confused on what to wear. I've opted for long sleeves and breezy skirts, as a way to get both if it stays cold and/or gets warm unexpectedly 
I like the tucked-in look, and if you pair your bottoms right it can even make you look slimmer. I like the trend, but I don't think it's for me; I'm happily okay admiring it from afar, but I wanted to give it 'another go' with this coord.
top; italy, bottom; f21, bag; h&m, earrings; icing
I've been kind of confused of how to style my hair as of late, so I've been putting it in messy buns for the past week; I desperately need to dye it as well 
Been making the most of not having to wear a coat 24/7 since it seems cold weather won't be coming to SoCal for a while, wore this out shopping the other day. I love pairing neutrals with opposite colors; sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't, but it's fun to experiment!
When I was at H&M the other day, I fell in love with this EMODA-esque dress. It literally was screaming my name from across the room, I've never felt this strong for any clothing item; it's always purses for me! Although I'm quite far from even wearing this kind of dress, I feel like this would be my 'final transformation' kind of dress once I'm at my goal weight. I might just go back and buy it so it can even further motivate me, I am just so in-love with it---with my nude pumps, damir ebene LV, shades, and burgundy lipstick, it'd be a perfect outfit.
The left top is from F21 (like the only top I am liking in their store right now, not really into F21 anymore to be honest), and I like it not only because of the pearls and cuffs, but I love the color and although it's a dress-top, I think with some skinnys and black pumps it can be a great outfit. I might just go back and buy it for future spring coords.
I'm not the kind of girl who likes window shopping---I absolutely HATE it--but I like going into stores and picturing how I'd coordinate an item..
This year is almost over and I only have three more weeks of uni and then I'm done, then the next task is moving up to SF. Everything is just coming SOOOO quickly! Do you feel that way as well? I feel like I don't have enough time to do the things that I need to do... although I am excited for Christmas season (yay!). I'm also bringing back 'hit or miss!' series starting this Friday, sorry for totally abandoning it!
Thanks so much for your input on my last post, I'm excited to share my fashion journey with you all 
You really are an 'EMODA girl,' bb ♥ This style fits you so well! Although I think you looked lovely when you were more into Liz Lisa type style too, I really think this one makes you look so glamourous.
返信削除I hope you'll go back & get that H&M top because it's too fabulous NOT to have... There's nothing wrong with getting a piece to inspire you to work towards your goals either :)
haha well you're my emoda-loving sister! :'DD
返信削除I'm almost embarrassed to even talk about my Liz Lisa-loving days! Seems to far away from where I am right now but it was my first 'try' at everything, so I can't forget about it, can I XD I think my real style is this kind, as I've been surrounded by women in my life who have dressed this way, it's finally taken me this long to get here haha
Yes I hope so! ^^ thanks babe<333
you look awesome!
返信削除I love your style because it so very much fits you!
返信削除Weightloss inspo clothes are so great. I have a dress that I bought praying it would fit (there was no way in HELL!), and have been steadily working towards being able to wear it. Every time I try it on, the zipper is just that much closer to closing!
It's really exciting! So, I vote get the dress! I bet it would look fab on you :) <3
Your collection is absolutely gorgeous! I have personally set myself a goal to try and incorporate more colour and statement pieces into my wardrobe. I just find my current collection is a little lacking because I'm floating between different styles.. plus I'm a bit lazy -_- I have also experienced the same dilemma of fashion expression though.. not just fashion but makeup/hair too. I just feel that little bit self-conscious dressing even slightly gyaru here in Australia. But it's all about confidence and how you carry yourself. So you should flaunt it however you like :D
返信削除Great post! This reminds me, I need to review my closet. :)
返信削除That F21 top is lovely. I'm feeling it's really hit and miss lately at F21. I wish I could stay motivated lately... I want a closet full of new clothes! :P
返信削除wonderful glasses. they look really cool~
返信削除please come by

your closet is so awesome *-* you're really a trendish girl*-*
返信削除So jelly of your closet..!! I've been trying to add colors to mine all year but I always fall back on blk, rd, and wht. D: Color fail lol And those shades are sick!! I love how they're pointed toward the edges.
返信削除I can't wait for your move. I'm so excited for you..!! Please write about SF because I've only ever been to the airport but have always wanted to visit lol
Take care!! ★
Your closet looks great! Everything's so neat and ordered XDDD I don't even own a proper cupboard for my clothing, hahaha, just an IKEA drawer, lol
返信削除Girl you are becoming more fashionable each time I see a new post from you! How do you do that? :) Give me some advice! Oh I know what you mean by conservative, in terms of fashion Germany is sooooooo conservative, I have the feeling everybody is looking cause I'm just wearing normal shorts and some heels with them, lol. It's so sad people just can't accept people who are dressed up differently from them, haha, there's so much more to wear than just Jeans and Sweater, lol
You must be so exciting for the move up! Shall I send you the cards to your home in Socal then, or do you already have a new address in SF?
I always adore your codes and I can imagine myself going crazy over your closet haha
返信削除That final shirt and dress. O.M.G. Beautiful!!
I love your looks. :D
返信削除I'm not that confident with my closet at the moment.. I haven't updated mine for ages.. and I can't dress freely in our country as to people would really care about what your wear. o___O I wish our place was like LA though. hihihihi :D
Color is a wonderful thing, isn't it? :D I'm rather partial to accented neutrals myself, but I like the colors you've chosen to add to your wardrobe. I also think that dress would be an *awesome* motivational piece to have, so you should get it and hang it where you can see it every day so it can give you inspiration to be wearing it soon!
返信削除And lol, yes the weather here in SoCal is all kinds of bi-polar; I hardly know how to dress for work anymore! XD
Thank you so much for sharing and being such an inspiration~
Aw man, I know how you feel about window shopping. Girls I talk to always seem to love it, but it's such a tease!! I can't stand finding something I love, but not being able to take it home where it'll be safe in my close :<
返信削除Lots of love for your style looks, as always~ But I really dig that flowy sheer red skirt, so effortless & pretty ♥
And I think that dress will look fabulous how you're describing to style it. So I hope you keep this photo nearby to always look at it and remind you of your goal. You can do it!!! (๑•̀ㅁ•́ฅ✧ !
I hate window shopping too :( but I have no choice sometimes. I always love your pics that you post on instagram btw :)
返信削除Adorable and cool post. Take some time to visit my blog.

it's funny, i kinda pegged you as someone whose closet would be a LOT bigger than this!! haha... although i suppose it makes sense if you lost a lot of weight and only became a fashionista recently :p quality over quantity is what they say?? (apparently i didn't get the memo though... lol)
返信削除ps, LOVE those sunglasses, and they suit your face so well! <3
Omg you look so high fashion in all of these photos I looooove it! And I love the variety in your closet too!
返信削除I'm with you on the whole 'omg everything is happening so fast' thing. All of the sudden it's the end of the year and I'm just like wtf happened to the past 11 months!?!?!?!
Haha they are both just things I threw on in a rush and had time to take a quick snapshot of! I've been really lazy about gyaru style as of late =w=;;
返信削除Thanks! I'm happy that I finally have variety, it's always been just BLACK everywhere and I wanted to breach out with color, so here is what I have! These aren't all of my clothes, as I have other places I put them, but these are my main ones.
YES it's gone waaay too fast. I'm stressed out about it, so much to do before it ends!
Haha I do have other places I put my other clothes at (the ones that I don't mind being folded) but these are my main ones. Yes, that's also why! XD Since I've lost such a large amount of weight, a lot of my clothes had to be given away. I'm happy about that but now I need to go shopping!
返信削除Aw thanks! It was impulse to get them while I was still in the Netherlands, I don't even know how much it was because I didn't understand the Euro to Dollar conversion XDDD
Thanks! Sure I will! :)
返信削除RIGHT?! Window shopping is just... ugh, I find it more depressing than inspiring.
返信削除And I love yours! I'm so glad I found instagram, it's great!
Oh my gosh, you explained it PERFECTLY! I get so upset when I find something I TRUUULY love and then I can't even get it... it is TOTALLY a 'tease' :P
返信削除Aw thank you! I seem to be floating with styles as of right now, trying things I otherwise wouldn't. I'm mixing western/european with japanese fashion, and i like what I've come up with! There is so much more to come though, these were just 'omg gotta leave the house right now!!!11' outfits haha
I am so going back and getting it! I feel even more motivated now! Thanks so much babe <333
It really is! ^^ I love neutral colors and dark colors, but I need more "real" color in my life. Yes, I think so too! I am going back and getting it! Hopefully they still have it T o T
返信削除YES IT IS! Finally someone who understands XD;;
Aw no thank you!! Comments like these motivate me to do my best!
Aw thank you!
返信削除Well where I live right now is VERY conservative, and people don't dress 'high fashion' AT ALL. We just recently got our first H&M and that's pushing it a bit! For me, I don't care, I'll wear it anyway but sometimes I really dislike the attention, y'know!? =w=;;
Yeah people in LA don't care at all! There are places in LA where you gotta dress really well because everybody else is, but it just depends.
Haha I thought you'd like it! :DD
返信削除Aw thanks for your support! <3
OHHH this is on a good day... usually everything is thrown around everywhere because I rush when going out the door!
返信削除Aw thank you!! I really don't feel like I'm at my "height" of being fashionable, but I'm making baby steps. I'm happy to make mistakes and learn from them because it'll get me even closer to loving myself and truly loving my style.
Germany is conservative!? I never thought that before! :O I'll be sure to remember that when I'm there and that will help answer the question if people are looking at me weird haha
YES I'm so excited! No you can send them to my Socal address as I haven't moved up yet ^^
HAHA I've always just had black in my closet so it's been a fashion risk to have all of these different kinds of colors in my closet. I'm not done yet! :D Yes I love dressy shirts and cuffs, and I have a lot of shirts like these now!
返信削除I've only ever been to the airport too XDD;; I'm going to visit in about 2-3 weeks so I'll be making a post about it!
Aw thank you! >//< I really feel like I'm not at my TRENDIEST yet, but I'm getting there!
返信削除Why thank you!
返信削除Yeah my thoughts exactly. I've strayed away from F21 a lot, but there are some items that I do like! ^^ Yes, let's stay motivated together!
返信削除I would love to see your closet, I'm sure you have all sorts of items that I'd love to have * o * and we must go shopping when I finally make the big move up to SF!
返信削除It's a great goal! I want to keep incorporating colors and hopefully when Spring comes I'll continue to do so! I'm also floating between styles, it can be annoying! ><
返信削除Yes confidence is key! If you have that, then there is no worry!
Thank you for your support! I wish us both the best! :)
Aw thank you!
返信削除Yes, they are great. I'm so happy to say I finally can fit into this top I bought about 6-7 months ago but couldn't fit into! It's really times like this that keep me motivated to do my best. Yes, I'm gonna get it for sure!
Aw thanks babe! :)
返信削除Good luck adding more colourful pieces to your wardrobe!! <3
返信削除I don't actually know how I came across your blog, but by glancing at the entries I was sooo surprised to see (in this one), the b&w dress from H&M that I had wanted so badly back in November! I was never able to get back to the store to try it (I live 5 or 6 hours from the closest H&M), but based on you posting that dress alone, I want to read your blog now! Haha <3
