I don’t know what I was thinking, but I think it turned out okay. This is one of those outfits where you literally grab whatever is closest to you — sometimes even blindly — put it on obviously, and run out the door. The next step is to pray that you look okay. Sound all too familiar?

It happens to me every now and then, but most of the time I have to pray REALLY hard that my outfit will suddenly change into something a bit more decent and well put together. Although this outfit is a mix of things from all over the spectrum in color, pattern and texture, it’s a mix that works for me. That’s my attempt at being eclectic. How’d I do?

Exactly one week to go before I’m off to Asia! It’s a bit surreal and I’m totally not prepared — there’s still so much to do, and seriously, so little time. April’s always a busy month with Easter (aka my 2nd birthday), and all the other real birthdays going on.

On another note, I went back to black. My hair that is. What do you think? I’ve gotten mixed opinions that it makes me look younger or makes me look older and oh-so-sophistique. I’m at that age where I’m not sure if I want to look older or younger. Problem.

One last note, I wanted to send some — birthday love to Kaz SVP – from Flagsh1p Lifestyle Inc. Wishing you a fabulous day and an amazing year. :)

Thanks to VancityBuzz and Patrick Leung for doing an “Around Town with Bunnie Bar” feature on me yesterday! Pat and I made a trip over to Lonsdale Quay last week, and although it was raining, it was a lot of fun! And cold.

Now for the even more exciting news… I quit my job and am running away to Asia to hide there until someone finds me and forces me to come back! Just kidding. Well, kind of. I did resign from my work, mainly because I felt like it was time for a change and because the time off I need is… too long.

I’m going to Taipei for 5 weeks. And I’m excited and nervous. The last time I went to Asia was 20 years ago, when I was 5. And since then, I haven’t really been much of an avid traveler, although I would love to be able to see more of the world. I also haven’t gone on a vacation that lasted longer than a week. Meaning that I haven’t been away from home, from family, from everything for…. more than a week. Just a month ago, I didn’t even have any idea when I’d visit Asia, if ever.

I made a vow to myself that I wouldn’t look back on this year and wish I did. So I’m trying to make a change. Create excitement. Take on challenges. And I stared with a comprehensive list of goals and resolutions at the beginning of the year. It’s hopping so far, and I hope it’ll only get better!

Of course, I’ll be updating you guys with whatever I’m doing while I’m away, so stay with me! BTW, any recommendations on things to do / eat /see while I’m there?

lace top and the hat, again

 It’s the hat again! I’m definitely getting some good wear out of it. Yesterday, I mentioned that I should post some of my work outfits once in a while. Today, I am doing just that. (And I may have taken these photos previously.)

A random memory hopped into my head the other day, and I thought I’d share. There was this one time, in band camp…. just kidding…. I was driving home from who knows where. As I drove through an intersection during traffic hour, my eye caught sight of this huge sign stuck on the lamp post: $5 manicure. Immediately, my eyes widened and I began to fill with pure excitement… Whaaat? $5 bitches!… until I realized it said: $5 manure. I didn’t end up getting it, obviously. That was it. The end.

If you’ve already heard this story, then…. whatever, you.

neutrals and red lipstick

First of all, I’d like to apologize for the poor picture quality. As embarrassing as it is, I… had to use a point and shoot camera because my “better-one-which-I-don’t-know-how-to-use” ran out of batteries. I’d also like to apologize for the ugly floor. I’ve never said it, but it’s atrocious. It’s ugly now, and it’s ugly in my Outfit of the Day posts. If my mom read this, she’d probably smack me. Ugh.

Anyways, I’m undecided on what kind of image this outfit portrays. Am I classy and chic? Stuck-up and boring? Or a hip modern day investigator? Like, Sherlocklia Holmes?

Regardless, I made a bold move by wearing red lipstick. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve made many attempts to wear it, but they’re always followed by tissue dabbing.. and then vigorous rubbing, after realizing that red lipstick doesn’t come off easy. The H&M “color block” (more suitably, boring block) dress was a steal at $20. I ended up buying 2 of them… but I need to get them altered as they’re a little looser than I’d like.

My style is usually more street wear, but I thought I’d mix it up a bit with something dresser. Yay? or Nay? I should probably start posting some work outfits to avoid boring you to death.

you give me low self-esteem

I suddenly had the urge to revive this fedora… after owning it for about 2 years and probably only wearing it once. I think I’ve worn it 4 times in the past month. That’s record breaking. I have an un-surfaced attraction to all sorts of hats and headpieces. Sometimes, I end up buying them. And when I do, they end up collecting dust in my closet. I haven’t gotten quite comfortable with wearing something on my head. I feel kind of silly. And it makes me feel kind of self conscious. Like the feeling I get when wearing glasses. That shit lowers my self-esteem. Ten fold. Even if you think I “look good in them.” Now sunglasses…. that’s a different story. Are you a hat person?
