Anne of Green (Blue?) Gables Outfit with Chi Chi Clothing

Despite my serious disposition in my photos, I'm usually cracking up during my photo shoots, because Chris is ridiculous and makes a bunch of bad puns.

Gold Belt | Thrifted
Black & White Pumps | Schutz (leopard version here)
Boater Hat | Japan

I love how versatile this dress is. Despite being a busy printed midi dress, it’s extremely easy to wear as a dress, a skirt or stand on its own; dressed up or dressed down; for the office or to the park. I’ve already worn it once as a “skirt” with a crop top.

Best part is it’s easy to accessorize like with this boater hat I bought years ago in Tokyo. Still love it to this day. Despite its origins from an underground mall stall, it instantly reminded me of Anne of Green Gables (hence the post name).

However, despite its similarities to my favorite novels, I could never get past Anne's idealism. When things are so obvious to the reader, but not to the protagonist, readers like me begin to wonder if the protagonist is purposely hurting people’s feelings and is the biggest sociopath known to man.

Now all this talk of literature has me craving another read through of Pride and Prejudice. I’ll be right back ;)

Simply Stylist OOTD: Chi Chi London + Crop Top

Dear Sunny Simply Stylist OOTD Chi Chi London

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of attending Simply Stylist! I learned quite a bit about bettering the blog, and met some wonderful people. Unfortunately, I was too engrossed with the activities of the day that I didn't get to take many photos. Eep! I was quite a terrible blogger, but I just couldn't help myself. It was my first conference :)

I'll post about it later in the week, but here's the outfit I wore that day. I ordered this Chi Chi London dress for a wedding, but in the end, went with this dress. I "accidentally" missed the return cut-off date so I needed to find places to wear this dress. It was too cold to wear out for date night, but it was too special to wear to work. Like the perfect fairy tale ending for my new dress, I remembered I had the Simply Stylist conference on the 25th!

I don't have abs or a perfectly tanned body, yet I always see crop tops being rocked by beach babes. But that didn't stop me from wearing a crop top. I decided to make them my own by creating a two-piece look with a crop top and this Chi Chi London dress. It gives new life to a formal dress and now I find I can wear it to work ;)
