Overall, I’d say my outfits all week were rather boring. On Monday and Tuesday there were no students, so I went for comfortable in jeans. Then Wednesday, I over did it on the comfort by trying out my new off-the-truck leather joggers. Thursday was a homerun–it was such a great outfit that I turned itContinue reading Style Stories No. 22: Rather Boring OOTDs
Style Stories No. 20: Combat Boots All Week
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
Style Stories No. 19: Upcycling My Clothes
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

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.

What I Really Wore: The Nasa Trend
Working with teenagers every day, I start to notice different trends emerging. The most recent item that I keep seeing almost every single day is the NASA trend–tons of kids are wearing NASA gear. I decided it was time to join. If I’m going to wear the NASA trend the only way to style itContinue reading What I Really Wore: The Nasa Trend
Wearing Shorts to Work
Wearing shorts to work isn’t very common attire; however, this fall season I’ve been giving it a go to see if it works for me. It does–especially since there’s a lot of moving around for me in my day as a high school librarian. The reason wearing shorts to work also is beneficial in HongContinue reading Wearing Shorts to Work
Dior Inspired
There are so many items I would like to discuss in this post. I’ll start off by being Dior inspired. There’s a taxi stand down in Central, Hong Kong where the line usually takes at least 20 minutes to get a taxi. It’s no problem; the people watching is always good in Central, HK. Plus,Continue reading Dior Inspired
Style Story 12: Patterns and Texture All Week Long
Patterns and texture were abundant in each one of my work outfits this past week. Lucky for me it was a four day work week.

My style story this week has returned to work outfits–well at least three out of the five days! On both Monday and Friday I was able to dress down which is rare for me.

Style Story: Work Outfits Monday Through Friday
This week I pretty much liked what I was wearing all week, but to be honest, I’m definitely still trying to get used to my hair. It is super short! The cut before was also short but because of all the flippy waves I think it felt very similar to my long locks. I thinkContinue reading Style Story: Work Outfits Monday Through Friday
