SCAD Style

Taking serious pictures of myself is... quite silly. I'm not a serious person. But I do enjoy dressing myself in a button down, a nice pair of trousers, a jacket, with a pair of comfortable heels.

I won't lie, I dress up because it makes me more confident. I would never leave my dorm without putting on make up and a cute outfit (well, unless I'm taking out trash).

This week more so because it was the week of SCAD Style. Savannah College of Art and Design invited wonderful guests to speak at the new SCAD museum. And I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I was able to attend the lectures by Linda Heasley the CEO of the Limited brand, Hal Rubenstein the fashion director of Instyle magazine, David Noh journalist and costume historian, and Wes Gordon an up and coming women's wear designer.

They were all amazing! Inspirational, encouraging yet realistic. I learned so much this week I'm going to need another week to process everything I've heard.

I was really impressed by Hal. He said that women are smarter, more capable than men but they are unable to become a president, a CEO of a company because they are too critical of themselves.

We wake up in the morning, stand in front of the mirror and pick out 5 things(maybe even more) we don't like about ourselves - hair, eyes, nose, legs, outfit, and the list goes on. But a man stands in front of the mirror, and he sees someone who looks like Brad Pitt. So we've already lost the battle before leaving our homes.

Interesting, isn't it? Something to keep in mind when you wake up and see yourself in the mirror.

I'm wearing :
White button down from Madewell, black zip up from BCBGeneration, tan trousers from Forever21, bronze Nicole Miller pumps from DSW, black crossbody from Michael Kors, gold stud necklace from Stella and Dot, gold watch from Michael Kors, and brown bow ring from Forever21

Spring Christmas

 Happy Tuesday!

I decided to drop by the Weston package center today because I had gotten several notices that I received some packages.

I'm always excited about opening packages - even if it's not mine - because it reminds me of opening presents the morning of Christmas.
So I began opening the packages as soon as I got back to my dorm.

The first package I opened was from my boyfriend Siamc. He sent the clothes that I left behind in Austin because I couldn't fit them in my suitcase. I consider myself an expert in packing a suitcase because I do it so often! But this time, I just had too many things and only one suitcase to work with. Tragedy... 

But I was happy to see that Siamc had gotten me the same ring I lost recently. I accidentally left a white bow ring I got from forever 21 during spring break on top of a sink at school. No surprise, it was gone when I went back to look for it.

 The second package I opened had 20 packages of ramen noodles in it. No joke. I usually get them at a local Korean market but I realized that every time I go there I spend most of my money on junk food! So I decided to just order them online since I'm trying to lose couple of pounds. (hmm, will eating ramen noodles help? probably not... but they are so convenient and delicious!)

The last package had one of the textbooks for my Fashion Theory class.

Overall, it was a successful package opening session. :) I'm still waiting for another package... Can't wait to show you guys what I got!!!

Hello Hello Hello

Happy Easter!

Few weeks ago, it was my 5th 21st birthday. I must say, the past few years have been an upside down roller coaster ride for me. I quit my full time job to follow my passion - I know it totally sounds cliche, but it's true!

Fashion is what I love, managing a fashion company is what I'd love to do.

Now, here I am in Savannah Georgia. I still miss Austin, but thanks to my newly made friends Savannah is growing on me. And I'm really enjoying the luxury and fashion management program at SCAD. I've never worked this hard before. The infamous phrase "Sleep Comes After Diploma" is no joke! But I'm loving it. And that reassures me that I've made the right choice. 

Today, I only had time to take pictures of myself wearing my casual Sunday clothes but I'd like to introduce you to everything that I'm experiencing. Life, love, fashion, Savannah, work, everything! So come back and see MyMaryMe again :) 

I'm wearing :
thrifted chambray shirt, khaki trousers from F21, Club Monaco scarf, Michael Kors watch, various bracelets from F21, Madewell, and J.Crew, navy bow ring from F21, Essie and Sally Hansen nail polishes, black rhino earrings from Vinca USA
