COMME des*

I recently noticed on Instagram that a bunch of people are using this one template where their photos are placed in a vintage frame. I found out the app was called unfold and proceeded to download it myself. Sadly, you do have to pay for the template bundles but all of them are under $3.00. I think that’s pretty good. To support the designers, I purchased two bundles myself; the one with the vintage frames and a new one that just came out recently. I was contemplating whether I should buy these frames at first because I can easily create them myself but I figured they were created for accessibility in the first place. Unfold is also a very simple app to use. It would be a lot faster for me to use the app than to create it myself.

I tried using the template in a style I have been seeing often on social media. I think it worked out in the end. I am going to admit that I like the featured image more than the layout here though.

 

 

Anyways, onto the fit. I’m wearing the Gwyneth sweater from Aritzia tucked into my TopShop mom jeans. add more dimension to the sweater? I don’t know if that made sense haha. My mom jeans don’t even look like mom jeans on me. I hate it when that happens. It’s sooo hard for me to find jeans that actually fit my legs like mom jeans. Oh well .. I’ll find a pair someday. I finished my outfit off with my black CDG chucks.

 

That’s all I have for today loves!

Common Comfort

Today’s been filled with homework. I went to a café out in Koreatown and stayed there for about six or seven hours. Comfort was my main priority today. I bought a few things from Aritzia during the boxing day sale and the Gwyneth sweater was one of them.

I’m surprised I bought it in the white. Usually, I would go for darker colours because I don’t think light coloured sweaters look as good on me.

I was eyeing this sweater for a long time but I held off buying it mainly due to its price. But last year Oak+Fort had something extremely similar, but it was made to be oversized. I was waiting for it to come back this year but sadly, it hasn’t . . .  yet. Although now what I have the Gwyneth sweater I probably don’t buy the Oak+Fort one if it comes back. But who knows.

I had the black jimmy pants for a while now, I think I mentioned them in an earlier blog post as well. This jacket is also (somewhat) new. I purchased it in November I think. Well, technically my dad bought it for me. He was nice enough to offer to pay and give it to me as my birthday present. Thanks, dad! I’ve gotten some good uses out of this coat.

I had a dilemma of whether I should wear my black Comme des Garçons converse or my regular white chucks. I went back and forth a few times but ultimately decided on the white. I’m still not sure why I picked white. Maybe I was feeling bright today.

Overall, this outfit was very comfortable. I could wear this to sleep. A downside, however, is that the sweater was a bit itchy but maybe that’s because its new.

 

Monday Blues

Another one of my favourite brands is MondaySuck. They’re a streetwear brand that I stumbled across on Instagram and I love their apparel and accessories. What sucks though is that shipping and converting from USD to CAD really jacks up the price. I always go on their site and put a bunch of stuff in my cart but I never go through with the purchase just because the first time I ordered from them I also got hit with duties. Duties + currency conversion + $20 CAD shipping is not fun. The Lovers Paradise hoodie was worth the amount I paid; I think I paid at least $120 CAD. But I’m okay with it since I wear at least once a week. It’s literally my favourite hoodie. I got the hoodie so long ago I don’t think MondaySuck sells it anymore. They have a similar one, but they don’t have “Lovers Paradise” on the back. Which, to be honest, is the main reason why I bought the hoodie.

I really recommend their apparel. I’m currently eyeing the white quarter-zip with the orange outlined “mondaysuck”. I just can’t get myself to spend another $120 .. black Friday really killed my wallet.

I layered a long white tee under the hoodie so it would peek through the bottom. I’m also wearing my BDG ripped jeans again, champion socks, and continental 80s. It was chilly on that day as well so I wore my Oak+Fort black sherpa jacket from last year.
