it was an intense week, and if you share my beliefs, you probably woke up on wednesday morning with a case of blues, but positive ones. not to get too political (but fashion is political?!), i was ecstatic reading how ohio, and numerous other states, voted majority democratic candidates for senate and congress. many people got nostalgic, joking about the "woke" era again, and feeling the same vibes as when obama won in 2008.

on friday, we went to the cleveland museum of art for another mix: k-pop inferno. it celebrated the newest exhibit ten kings of hell: afterlife in medieval korea. the dress code called for afterlife creatures: ghosts, ghouls, angels and demons, but it did not exempt leftover halloween costumes either. sib and i donned our cherub themed fits, and my outfit was based on another past exhibit, renaissance in fashion, from last winter.there were anime cosplayers galore, and lots of spooky cool looks, such as a couple dressed as the characters from labyrinth, and a wizard dude. i had a hard time connecting with the music, though, because i do not listen to k-pop, and you can guess what genre was played the most.
this week's looks
sib borrowed a fashion illustration book, so we worked on our drawing skills. it's been a minute since i've focused on my art, so i was excited to sketch this week's looks using the skills taught in the book. forgive the rusty, bulky designs, i had lots of fun practicing! i'm still playing with mediums too, mainly focusing on watercolor pens at the beginning of the week, but i'm getting curious about pastels too (featured on sunday's look)
monday i wore a vintage blouse with lace and pleat details, a wool midi skirt, and platform docs. added amber and brown tone bracelets, uniqlo bag, and giant oscar de la renta sunnies.
tuesday was election day and i went kind of waspy. silk blouse and my mom's leopard print midi skirt, loafers (that got compliments at the polls), some gold and pearl jewelry, and uniqlo bag. i also unintentionally matched with my beige bottle.
i did yoga with my clients at work on wednesday so i wore grey capris, my csu sweatshirt, some edgy jewelry and sneakers. it was a bit too warm for early november - high 60s. as much as the climate change is scary, i really love this weather. it's perfect.
on thursday i wore a herringbone knit dress my work bestie gave, it has a leather shoulder patch. perfect for the slow cool down of fall. i added black tights, penny loafers, cream colored sunnies, and matching color marc jacobs bag, some silver necklaces, and gold and leather bracelets.
for work friday, i wore a burnt orange silk blouse and desigual tweed skirt, fisherman loafers and marc jacobs purse. i added some gold jewelry and gold-plated earrings with black tassels.the clients at my worked appreciated the fall colors and the tweed fabric that reminded them of "cozy sweaters".
my look for mix: k-pop inferno. loosely inspired by a blumarine look featured in the past exhibit renaissance in fashion. i wore sib's linen dress and a cherub mesh top underneath. added a cherub necklace and gold earrings, gold sandals, and a gem-encrusted metal clutch. some religious-based jewelry as accessories too.
saturday morning we ran some errands and i layered up, rhcp tee, tan knit sweater, maxi skirt, beanie, ugg slippers and vogue tote.
saturday night we went to seljački stol (trans. peasant table), a potluck-style dinner organized by the croatian school. i wore an oversized blouse cinched with my pendant brooches on each side, dkny skinny jeans, black patent leather boots, and a leather jacket.
sunday i wore a puma top and straight leg jeans, oversized leather jacket and matching color flats for church and lunch with cousin after.
what am i looking forward to next week?
the season of friendsgiving is starting, and it's my birthday week next week! i am so excited to celebrate with all my friends and eat a ton of good food! stay tuned for the looks on my birthday week and the sourced inspiration...
