Neutrals - OOTD

Hey guys! I'm back with another #ootd.
Today, I chose to create a pretty monochrome and neutral look.

I like to style neutrals with neutrals because basic color schemes, when put together, can either dress up or dress down the entire look.
For this #ootd, I chose to accessorize with various statement pieces to make it look like I put a little more effort into my overall outfit. 

Hope you enjoy~

오늘은 뉴트럴 컬러 데일리룩!
가을이라서 그런지 색체농도가 약한 색감의 옷들을 주로 입게되더라구요! 
잘못하면 밋밋해 보일 수 있는 모노크롬룩을 포인트 악세사리들로 꾸며봤어요~


Top: This taupe sweater is the perfect Summer-to-Fall transition piece. The baggy fit and the loosely woven waffle knits allow the perfect amount of air circulation throughout the day.

토프색깔 (두더지색깔? 회갈색?) 니트 스웨터. 
아직 샌디에고의 낮은 덥답니다 ㅠ.ㅠ
햇빛 쨍쨍한 20-25도를 넘나드는 샌디 오전 날씨!!
덥긴 덥지만, 니트는 입고싶고...
SO,
배기니트는 공기가 그나마 좀 잘 통해서 뜨거운 샌디에서도 입을만하답니다~



Bottoms: These black slacks are my go-to pants for both formal and casual occasions.

한국 길거리에서 산 슬랙스!
너무 편하고 만만해서 정말 잘 입고 다녀요 : >
한국 옷 짱짱 <3


I thought that the belt was appropriate because it defines my nonexistent waistline. Also, it makes the holistic look seem a little more put-together.

점점 사라져가는 허리라인 조금이라도 살려보겠다고 씨니는 오늘도 벨트를 합니다아...


Shoes: I decided to slip into my favorite pair of chunky sandals. I feel extremely powerful and badass in these shoes because of the crazy spikes on the straps. 
These sandals are definitely the edgier (literally) alternative for the Birkenstock Arizonas hehehoho
: >

뾰쪽이 샌달.
my 무기.
버켄스탁 아리조나 못지않게 편해요!


It's all about the details: statement accessories!

포인트 악세사리들!


1.) A wide-brim floppy hat adds classiness and elegance.

챙이 넓은 브림 모자. 


2.) A slouchy leather backpack balances the formal vibe of the outfit by bringing back the casualness.

최근에 훔친(?) 물려받은(?) 엄마의 그때 그 시절 잇아이템.
예전에 아빠한테 선물로 받았다던 가죽 백팩.


3.) A chunky gold necklace adds edge and character.

골드 체인 포인트 목걸이.



Outfit Details:

taupe sweater: urban outfitters
black slacks: korea
belt: goodwill
spiky sandals: nordstrom
wide-brim hat: lolo
backpack: ssamzie (hand-me-down)
chunky gold necklace: thrifted

I hope our overwhelming derpiness put a smile on your face.

해맑다면 해맑고,
바보같다면 바보같은 
씨니 & 친구들.

Hope to see you in my next post!

Best fishes,

Family Hang Out!

Earlier this week, my parents came down to San Diego to spend time with me. 

엄빠가 샌디에고에 날 보러왔다. 내가 많이 보고싶었눙가봉가? : 3
가깝지도 않은 거리인데도 불구하고 자주 자주 면회(?)ㅎㅎ... 와줘서 고마워요 <3


We grabbed lunch at one of my favorite places to eat here in SD: Rakiraki. If you're a fan of Japanese ramen/food and you haven't been to this place yet, GO! My personal favorite here is the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen! heh : 3

라키라키에서 일본 라멘 냠냠.

Then, we decided to go to Balboa Park!
Spontaneous decisions are the best kind of decisions.

발보아 공원으로 꼬우!

 

Clear skies, perfect weather!

샌디에고는 진짜 날씨 하나는 최고인거 같아요!





So beautiful.




Although most museums at Balboa Park have admission fees, the Timken Museum of Art has FREE ADMISSION. If you're someone who enjoys cultural activities but is on a college student budget, you should definitely check this place out!

공짜 박물관 졓아.


Pretty architecture.



I was so tempted to stick my toe in...

발꼬락 집어넣고 싶었지만 ㅠㅠ 물이 너무 깨끗해 보여서....ㅎ


Look, I found a fluffy creature. There's lots and lots of them at Balboa Park. 

귀요미 발견 ㅠㅠ 발보아 공원에는 귀여운 멍뭉이들이 많아서 좋다니까...


So refreshing~

벌써 10월 중순이지만 샌디의 햇빛은 아직 뜨거워요. 
그래서 시원한걸 마셔가면서 다니는중~

After Balboa Park, we headed downtown to Little Italy.


샌디에고 다운타운에는 리틀 이태리라 는 거리가 있어요. 코리아타운, 재팬타운, 차이나타운 만큼 크진 않지만 나름 이태리의 분위기를 담아놓았답니다~


리틀 이태리에 와서 피자를 안 먹어볼 수 없겠죠?


more omnomnom...


to conclude the post!

I hope I encouraged those of you reading this post to go venture out and experience more of SD. There's honestly so much to do, see, and most importantly, EAT here. I'm so, so blessed to be given the opportunity to live and attend school in La Jolla~ : >
 Hope to see you in my next post!

Best fishes,

#GNO - OOTD

Hey loves!
Today, I will be showing you guys an outfit that I chose to wear to a girls' night out!
It is finally starting to cool down here in SD. Although low 70s may not be everyone's ideal Autumn weather, I thought that it was "chilly" enough to whip out my Fall essentials. 

Keep scrollin' to see them in action! : >

10월 중순. 아직 샌디에고 날씨는 여름여름해요 ㅠㅠ
추워봤자 햇빛 쨍쨍한 23도? 
그래도 가디건이랑 긴바지가 너무 너무 입고 싶어서...
오늘 아웃핏만은 가을가을.



TOP: I chose to wear a cropped white lace top with a beige grandpa cardigan. I thought that the dainty and feminine lace detailing on the shirt contrasted well with the shapeless nature of the grandpa cardigan. 

아기자기한 레이스 디테일이 들어가 있는 레이스 크롭탑! 
펑덩~하고 모양없는 할아버지 가디건이랑 매치해봤어요. 
가디건은 구제옷가게에서 3불 (3000원) 주고 샀어요ㅋㅋㅋ
질도 너무 좋고 따뜻해서 조금만 더 추워지면 정말 잘 입고 다닐거같아요! 
사소한 행복... :)

cropped lace shirt: urban outfitters (*sales section teehee*)
beige grandpa cardigan: thrifted - goodwill


BOTTOM: For pants, I chose to go for my trustee black high waisted skinnies from BDG. I belted it to define my (nonexistent lol) waistline. 

검정색 하이웨이스트 스 키니. 제일 만만한거 같아요!
요기요기 요 벨트도 구제옷가게에서!

BDG high waisted skinnies: urban outfitters
black belt: thrifted - goodwill 


SHOES: I've been wearing the crap outta these minimalistic strap sandals since last year. I'm surprised they still look somewhat presentable LOL. Definitely my go-to shoes for literally any and every occasion. However, I'm in the market for a new pair of basic flat sandals, so let me know if there are any good deals out there~

이번 여름방학 3달내내 한국 곳곳을 나와 함 께 누벼준 샌달.
너무 너무 사랑하지만 곧 놓아줘야할듯...ㅠ

strap sandals: steve madden



PS: I ombréd my hair heh. Spontaneity got me like...

옴브레 염색 했다요!!!!!!!!!! 호호호 : >



UCSD has such nice backdrops...




BAG: I THRIFTED A VINTAGE DOONEY & BOURKE BAG. OKEH BAI.

가방도 구제샵 출신!

vintage dooney & bourke bag: thrifted - super thrift store, oxnard



pc: Melissa Wu aka mai lovely apartmentmate <3

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tonight, I went on a spontaneous dinner date to Karl Strauss Brewery & Restaurant (minus the brewery part) with two of my close girl friends, Melody (left) and Melissa (right). 
Love these ladies! We suh cyute :3

Gelato for dessert! Melody got mocha and mediterranean, Melissa got mocha and vanilla w/lavendar, and I got pineapple w/basil! Omonomnom~

후식으로는 젤라또 젤라또 젤라또오~!
MELODY: 모카 & 메디테레니안 /  SINI: 파인애플 바질/ MELISSA: 모카 & 라벤더바닐라
