I was this close to not having anything to wear today, y’all. The better half of my wardrobe is out of commission as it’s in the laundry pile and the other half that’s left is a mish-mash of odds and ends that didn’t make the first cut. I ended up throwing on this orange top that I bought back in my early days of college (which was over 10 years ago! anyone wanna guess my age? lol). Whoever says Forever 21 clothes fall apart easily has yet to meet this shirt. It’s basically like a little sister to me now. I kinda half ignore it most of the time and don’t give it the attention it deserves, but it always saves me in an emergency. Does this mean I’m not an only child anymore? 🙂

I totally agree re: F21 though! I think many times, as long as you treat it well, it'll last.
kileen– i am in love with your jacket and necklace. so cool its eco-friendly!
oh man, I think I need to get my eyes checked, that top looks red to me! haha, maybe its my computer…
Yeah, some F21 clothes are pretty decent actually and I've had for years.
That jacket looks so good. I love seeing you and Angga style it differently. The necklace is really cute too.

Love your outfit and the jacket looks great! However, I never heard of eco-friendly felt bib necklaces (interesting) =)
Also, it funny how old clothes are life savers during the laundry pile crisis!
Once again looking fabulous as usual =)

That outfit looks great on you! Love the shoes, can't wait until it is warm enough here in London to wear shoes like that again and not boots everyday. Although I love my boots.

@Banhannas They're supposed to be cropped jeans, but they're full-length on me and the 26" inseam is perfect! 🙂
Hmm 10 years ago…we must be the same age!!
I love the jacket you're wearing…and your cardigan in your previous colour brigade! I haven't seen many Asians pulling off animal print!
