we live this close to death.
That makes us sounds so much more adventurous than we really are, or maybe I shouldn't tell you that. There's nothing I love more than a good adventure and I'm up for it on any day...except when it's freezing and windy and I'm not properly dressed. In this case, we really just hopped a fence to take a few pictures. It was cold but fun and despite my poor decision to leave the panda mittens in the car, I had Bobby's scarf to keep me warm...ish.
Sometimes I feel bad for Bobby, because I'm always stealing his clothes and accessories. Then I remember that no, I don't feel bad because it's his fault for being the same size as me! The only benefit of being the same size as your boyfriend is stealing his clothes. Too bad for him that I wear so many dresses, because he doesn't benefit much from my closet. Kim and I, on the other hand - our closets have few boundaries. We're constantly borrowing each other's clothing and shoes, which is kind of funny since our styles are so different. Since Kim is moving back to LA, don't be surprised if I end up wearing one of Miku's sweaters in a future post. I can only do so much with menswear.


























Love the layers!
ReplyDeleteso pretty- love all those layers. the looks seems to get more girly the deeper its layered!

i noticed modcloth had a similar style on their page for that dress :) you must be their inspiration! i can't believe this photo is taken in brooklyn, was this taken on one of your long island trips?
ReplyDeleteI love that you get to borrow Bobby's clothes. I do the same thing with my boyfriend. He has such great style and he and I are the same size (even the same SHOE size).
ReplyDeleteThis may sound totally creepy but you can really see how happy he makes you. It is so sweet!
Everyone knows that boyfriends have the best clothes.
ReplyDeleteThat line, "I can only do so much with menswear" is so hilarious, I almost choked on my water as I was drinking it.
ReplyDeleteYou do wear a LOT of feminine pieces, I'm surprised at all that you ever steal anything from his closet. Of course, you're the master of layering, and this is no exception, so seeing his clothing on you probably blends so seamlessly into the whole ensemble.
I'm sorry your BFF is moving. That is hard!
On the other hand, it does make for a very sweet goodbye post, doesn't it?
Stay warm in the snowy weather you're going to be facing soon!
XX.
Mae Lu, @ thereafterish.
When i first saw this the girl with the hat caught my attention she's so pretty and her fashion way.
ReplyDeleteHolly: 1) Holy crap! I didn't see that picture before but it looks like I copied them. haha
ReplyDelete2) Long Island thrifting!
I love it. Your outfit is stunning!

Alyson: Same shoe size?! That would be so convenient for me. I wear Bobby's shoes to walk Miku if I can't find my flats and they are huge on me. haha.
ReplyDeleteMae Lu: The good thing is that Kim and I are from the same town, so even when we're living in different states we see each other on the holidays and visit each other often. She's going to be in Florida while I'm there, so it doesn't seem like she's moving yet! But I'm sure we'll be visiting often:)
you are such a big fall/winter inspiration, you always manage to look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could enjoy and indulge in my bf's wardrobe, everything is too big! Although he has worn some of my socks in laundry desperation!
I love this layered look! Your dresses and scarf look perfect (:
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend doesn't wear scarves, except for thin little ones I'm not interested in. So unfair. At least I can borrow his heavy metal tees!
ReplyDeleteThe hint of lace peeking out from under the skirt of your dress is darling.
ReplyDeletelovely as always. :)

Adorable. I just love a slip peeking out from under a dress.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness these photos are breathtaking! And I LOVE the little bit of lace peeking out the bottom.
ReplyDeleteHow cute! That's so cool that you and your boyfriend are about the same size, I like stealing my boyfriend's stuff too :)
ReplyDeleteYour statement about ending up wearing Miku's sweaters was so funny. You and your sister are both very pretty.

Keiko Lynn, you are so gorgeous! I got to your page from Chictopia- now a follower :)
ReplyDeleteI love you for quoting The Decemberists! They're one of my favorite bands. And this look is just magical!!
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend and I are the same size, too. It is pretty grand... I used to fit his pants, but then I gained like 10 pounds. Oh well!
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised at how much I love something from the Jessica Simpson lines. I usually find her stuff tacky, but those shoes are great. I was like, "how did she hop a fence in those shoes," envisioning some chain link ordeal... after looking at the pic, it makes a lot more sense. Are you guys still in NYC? It looks so suburban!
xoxo
These pictures are amazing! I love your outfit so much! It is so free-spirited and romantic!

The pale blue and light layers of the dress is so cute with the structured blazer and chunky scarf! You really do the menswear with girly dresses things amazingly well!
ReplyDeletethis is a perfect winter outfit. I am saving this for inspiration :]]
ReplyDeletelove the socks and dress :]]

love the outfit! the scarf belongs to you!
ReplyDeleteThat's cute that you're the same size as Bobby. I used to be able to fit really well in my husband's clothes until he gained weight once we married haha. I could never fit in his pants though because he's shorter than me. He was really skinny and weighed less than me when I met him and now he's probably 55 pounds heavier than me. poor man. aw. Actually I don't think I would fit in anyone but one of my friend's clothes who is the same height and size as me, but we never have!
ReplyDeleteSo anyway your outfit looks lovely and you always are lovely yourself. Hooray for adventures.
Hello Keiko! My name is Helena and I am from Sweden. I'm going to New York this week and I was wondering what kind of weather you should count on and therefore what's appropriate to wear. How cold is it? Thanks :) hug, Helena
ReplyDeleteYou look nice and cozy!
ReplyDeleteI recently stole a button down from my bf with leggings and a wide belt, I got sooooo many compliments that day. My bf with soon know your bf's pain hahahaha.
