Outfit: White Out

I wore this outfit to Night Market (the old one) a couple weekends ago. I had spent the afternoon DIY'ing a few t-shirts that I had picked up from thrift stores for the Outside Lands Festival. I'm practically a DIY expert now. I can chop up a t-shirt like nobody's business.

Tank: DIY Jeans: Forever 21 Sandals: Old Navy Purse: Topshop Sunglasses: Spitfire

But in all seriousness, I'd seen a tank similar to this at F as in Frank as part of their SNAP collection, but they wanted $35 for it. I said, "B-tch please", and vowed to make my own. Admittedly, I was kind of terrified at first because I'm probably the least crafty person I know (Martha Stewart-wise. I am excellent at devising Blair Waldorf-esque plans. Just jokes....or am I?). I scoured YouTube for an adequate tutorial, but found none. I did find a lot of really bad tutorials, including ones with no sound, showing just the person's hands - super creepy. Instead, I took some tips from numerous videos.

Fringing, not a quick task

I actually got dressed and sent a photo to my friend asking if the outfit was "a bit too Jennifer Lopez". Seriously, with some rhinestones and platforms (and hoop earrings with my name in them), I would've been channelling Jenny from the Block, for sure. But since I was going to Night Market, I braced myself to be recognized as a Canto-pop star. Much to my dismay, that didn't happen.

This, however, did.

Outfit: House Guest Media Event

I know that you're dying to know what I wore to the House Guest media event a couple weeks ago.

Not the best quality photos, but that's what happens when you take photos in the middle of an Open Bar event.

This was the first time I'd broken out the sequin jacket in Vancouver (and since NYFW!) and it was such a hit (as I knew it would be)! Although, I had a date afterwards and I excitedly asked him, "Do you like my sequins?!" He said something to the effect of, "Uh...they're...special. And sequin-y....." I replied with, "It's OK, I have a change of clothes to go out in." (Because sometimes straight guys just don't get it and get scared. And sometimes, you just shouldn't wear an awesome sequin jacket to a concert at the Commodore, no matter how awesome the sequin jacket is. Lesson: Be Prepared.)
