today's outfit

I don’t know why I’m so sleepy…

By

Romper: Handmade by me
Leggings: Uniqulo
Hoodie: Boughuch t in Japan
Bangle and sandals: Eternity

I liked the romper I made for my shop so much, I made one for myself to wear:p For church today, I added leggings so I won’t show too much skin..
It seems like Andy and I will be traveling almost every weekend from now to the mid August, to say good bye to people here in the states, before we move to Japan. I’m just hoping that our car will last during these travel! We drive old toyota from 95.

P.S. Dear Caroline, please reply to my newest post with the link, since I can’t seem to find where you posted your comments! Sorry!

Weekends always feel so short…

Dress: bought in Thailand, Kao San street about 3 years ago
Earrings: H&M
Listening to U remind me by Usher

Do you know Pandora Radio? It is an online radio, and commercial free! When you type the singer you like or a song, they will generate a station consists of the similar kind of songs and singers. It is great and I’ve been using it for a while now.

I bought this dress in Kao San streen in Thailand, when I went there for the first time about three years ago. I remember haggling with the vendor, trying to lower the price… in retrospect, it made not much difference, since it is like 2-3 bucks difference in US dollars. But I just remember fighting with that vendor guy. I noticed that Kao San street changed a lot in the past two, three years, when I went to Bangkok two weeks ago. There are more foreign tourists, and the vendors became less willing to faggle with me. Sad:(

Top: from thrift store in Japan for $2.50!
White shorts: good will
Neckless: forever 21
Bangles: Eternity
Thrift stores in Japan operate a bit differently. You can donate stuff, but they pay you depending on the weight. Last time I was there, I brought in a bunch of stuff, and got some cash from them, which was nice. But since they buy the stuff from you, the price their clothes little more expensive than in here in the States. I got the chiffon blouse (or tunic) for only $2.50, since they were having get 5 and 50% off sale! I went there with mom, and she got a vintage Bottega Veneta vintage bag for $10. 
Just came back from BBQ party.. the weather was perfect!
