On-the-Go.

01. Combat Jacket - Forever 21
I have many army green combat jackets and this just happened to be the thinnest one... 

California weather calls for my lightest clothes! 

02. Black Basic Linen Tee - Zara

I have this basic linen tee in 3 colors -- white, black, and oatmeal.

This shirt is very light, so it's great for summer. The cut is unique and amazing too.

03. Black Double Thread Jeans - Just USA

I also have many pairs of Just USA jeans as well. They're addicting!
They have great colors with high quality materials and fit great too -- just the right amount of stretch!

04. Studded Flats - Theory

These are the one from my thrifting post! 

I know I'm not the only one who's always short on time and on-the-go. For people like me who need to fly out the door to face early morning rush hour traffic and still maintain a decent amount of sleep, it's hard to get an outfit together that won't make you look like you dressed yourself half asleep. My outfit today is nothing too special, but it is something very easy to put together and that will look chic and effortless. As you can see, I just wore all black with some edgy flats and a combat jacket. You can also easily dress up this outfit for going out at night -- just add edgy heels to replace the flats and it will instantly dress you up.


Extra tips: You can make this look your own by switching the tee and jeans out for a black dress, whether it be a little black dress or a black maxi dress. This look will also look very chic with coated jeans (the ones that look like they're leather), which are very trendy right now.

Here's a great example: one of my favorite bloggers from OUTOFABOOK.

Thrift Store Haul: Goodwill on Vine

Hollywood, CA - On a lazy Saturday like today, I was in Hollywood so I decided to stop by the Goodwill on Vine while I was in the area. I was surprised on the great selection they had; many of the Goodwills I've visited in the past had a very limited selection. 

Haha, maybe because it's Hollywood! :)

At first, I picked out a simple jersey dress from RODAN VS GRIFFITH and a cute oxford drop waist shirt-dress from COMPTOIR DES COTONNIERS. They were both great styles, but when I tried them on, I couldn't see myself wearing them that often, so I just let those two go. Even when thrift shopping, it's good to be very selective on what you buy... it's so easy to get carried away because of the low prices.

After looking through the entire clothing section, I quickly attacked the shoe section. I walked through the first few rows of shoes and I was beginning to get a bit disappointed when I ran into a pair of studded THEORY flats for $14.99 which fit like a glove. Muaha. Lovely. :) Then I wandered a bit more, looking out for workers with fresh incoming stock. One of the workers approached the shoe section and a pair of black buckle strap wedges quickly caught my attention. Frantically, I snatched them out of the cart of incoming stock that the worker was about to put out. I saw PIERRE HARDY boldly imprinted on the pair of wedges and suddenly became the happiest girl inside Goodwill (People probably thought I was a bit insane because I was all smiles by myself. Hehe). They were just my size.. We were meant to be... AND they were just $14.99!! I went to check out and the cashier reminded me that all shoes were 25% off just for today. This thrifting adventure couldn't have been better. I got both pairs of amazing shoes for under $25!

Have you ever tried thrift shopping at Goodwill or Salvation Army? What kind of treasures were you able to find? -- I'd love to hear!
