turning japanese

My cousin gave me this maxi skirt from Uniqlo for Christmas. No matter how much I wish I could pull off a maxi skirt, I just don't have the height for it. Thankfully, I am also in search for the perfect midi to pair with my footwear of choice, the boots. :) 

So, a snip here and a tuck there and voila!

For this look, I was inspired by the Japanese and decided to play up with the proportions. Of course, when I was styling this, I didn't realize this proportion is actually a thing now. Embracing frumpterable!

I paired the midi with an equally voluminous top and bell sleeves. 

And of course, my combat boots to top it all off!

This is a long overdue post.
As a 90s girl, I've always been partial to boots of any shape and color. But what was really missing in my humble collection is a pair of mannish/combat boots. I was fantasizing about how good they will go with my new favorite midi length pencil skirts or skinny jeans or denim shorts. *drool* So I was delighted when I came across this awesome pair of brown combat boots at H&M.

Been pretty much living in these boots since I got them in November. I love them to bits.
