I LOVE the items I pick up at secondhand swaps. For example, these Zara boots, still on sale on the site for $114, I picked up for under $13!! And they had never been worn; they were basically brand spankin’ new! To add my personal touch to them, I swapped out the black laces andContinue reading Style Stories No. 20: Combat Boots All Week
Recently I purchased this boho floral dress via a Google image search. Yes, I used my research skills to shop. Hey, what can I say? I’m a good librarian! Now, let’s see how well I can explain the search in order to teach the process. The first thing needed is an image. I remembered seeingContinue reading Shopping Via Google Image Search
Tuesday at work/school was a Halloween costume dress up day. As I was getting dressed, I thought to myself, “Hmmm, what could I wear?” Then I remembered Krystal Bick mentioning dressing as the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and I thought, “Duh! What an easy way to dress!!” I’ve got a couple of full midi skirts plusContinue reading Dressing Like Mrs. Marvelous Maisel
So, it’s the end of the day, and I’m still not sick of wearing my snake blazer, and now it’s time to get ready for a date. Easy peasy! I simply added the skort that goes with the snake blazer and makes for a cute little suit. Because it’s night time, I added a littleContinue reading Snake Blazer in the Evening
Yesterday I featured the exact snake blazer but for a trip to the market in the morning. Now on this past Sunday–that will take you through the morning (yesterday’s post), afternoon (today’s post), and night(tomorrow’s post) –I’ve styled the snake blazer in preparation for meeting someone for an afternoon coffee. (Although this entire snake blazerContinue reading Snake Blazer in the Afternoon
I’ll be so busy this week that I won’t be able to post my newly returned Style Stories at the end of this week. (I leave on Wednesday afternoon for Shanghai to watch my son play baseball. I’m really excited, but it’s definitely bitter sweet. This will be the last time Vincent plays with hisContinue reading Snake Blazer in the Morning
I’m at it again, trying out new photo editing styles, but still telling my Style Stories. I made it easier on myself this week. I set Remota, my tripod, camera, and remote control) up in a library classroom, and each day I’d hop back there to get an outfit of the day (#ootd) pic. IContinue reading Style Stories No. 19: Upcycling My Clothes
About once a year this LBD makes the blog. When I traveled down history’s lane, I found the very first time this LBD was posted was back in 2014. I remember purchasing this dress at the Forever 21 that used to be in Causeway Bay. It seems like I’d always go for a little shopContinue reading Three Ways to Jazz Up Your LBD
In an attempt to keep things real over here on Kremb de la Kremb, I’ve been trying to post some of the outfits I really wore. I used to post a series of Style Stories where I’d highlight each work day’s outfit, and in addition, I would rate each outfit out of a score ofContinue reading Style Stories No. 18: Work Outfits, October 7-11
I love what I did to these basically-new-but-bought-second-hand Zara combat boots. I took out the black laces and added the red to add a little laced up contrast to these boots. I love it when Redress HK has their swaps. (The next swap will take place from November 29 to December 3.) I managed toContinue reading Laced Up in Combat Boots
What I really wore this week matched the plaid of Paris Fashion Week. I pulled out my coziest of cozies: this plaid jumpsuit. I think it’s the pockets that make this onesie the best. It’s a very comfortable outfit. I paired it with a simple white tee and my white high top Chuck Taylors. BecauseContinue reading What I Really Wore: A Plaid Jumpsuit
Here’s my 4th and final look for all the pretending I’ve been doing during this fashion month. (You can check out the fashion weeks for New York, London, and Milan too!) For Paris Fashion Week I’ve attempted a style I’ve thought about trying for a long time now: the tube top over a white dressContinue reading Pretend Paris Fashion Week
