Cross My Heart, For Real

Happy Lao New Year! And Thai New Year, and Cambodian New Year! This post has nothing to do with me celebrating my heritage (Lao'd and proud!)... I just wanted to throw it out there since I didn't get to do anything culturally fun to celebrate this holiday. Maybe next year I'll be luckier. I'm far from everyone who would really know the importance of it is my excuse. So, to make use of my time, here's another post! I vamped up this neon yellow sweater with faux leather cross patches on the front and elbows because I felt the sweater was too much of an electric blob just plain. AND I made the MOST comfortable leggings EVER! The material is so soft and light I need to make more and more in different prints! You can never have too many leggings. Look at my matte grey-green nails!!

Hi All! I know I have neglected my blogging duties for too long and I am sorry for that. I plan on making it up to you by consistently posting fun stuff for your fashion pleasure from now on.

With that being said, let me present to you my first topic upon my return to the blog world. Mr. Updated Plaid. Pu or polyurethane has a been a hot trend in women's fashion for a while now but I haven't seen menswear really take part in it. So I thought of how to incorporate it into menswear in a way that isn't tacky but instead very fresh and stylish. My idea however involved a button down shirt style which I've never reattempted to do after once failing horribly in trying to construct a women's button down shirt back in school. There was just sooo many pattern pieces to cut and sew together this idea became intimidating to me. But my excitement for my idea was stronger than my fear so here is the end result! Black faux leather on the shoulder epaulet, front/back yokes, pockets, and sleeve slit! You like?
