Warm Winter Days

First post for 2018. <3

So I'm starting with something a little broader than usual. I thought I'd share some of my looks this Winter.
The temperature has flucuated but some days are still surprisingly mild and even slightly warm.

Very easy and comfortable to wear a sweater or light jacket.

The majority of my outfits are pieces from: Dresslily

 Boots: Demonia

 Black Loose Fit Sweater

This sweater turned out to be one of my favorite items. It's quite comfortable with an easy fit. Sleeves were a perfect length on me. I'm very happy with this sweater.

 Leather Moto Jacket

 Zipper Detail Pants

I love these pants for there cool details. Mine fit slight big but thats simple because the ones available were a size or two up. Still with a belt they fit enough.

 Boots: Demonia

 

Asymmetric Long Cardigan

 I feel like a jedi in this haha.
I love the length and shape on this one. However, the faux leather feels rather thin which I find feels strange with the other fabric.

 Asymmetric Sweater

This is an nice easy to wear piece. This is something I'd consider sort of a "basic" staple item for a long-sleeve for my personal style.

 Blue Hooded Cape

One thing I like most was most these pieces are good for layering. So when it's colder you can just layer up a bit more.
I hope everyone is staying warm and stylish for 2018 so far.

~Fashion and Jewelry

Currently I'm in finals week!
I only have a couple more classes til I'm graduating (finally!). Despite that I'm always still working on my fashion and hope you'll enjoy my newest review.

Today's outfit is all about the modern trendy edgy style. Nowadays things I already love like all black outfits and platforms have quite the following.
However looser fits aren't something I've worn so much but I decided to experiment with it.


Today's review is a familiar site I've shown before, it's banggood!

Banggood is an affordable online store that not only offers clothing and accessories but many others things as well.
As usual I'm focusing on fashion so I'll talk about some new stuff I got!
In fact, I'll be doing a part two of this review for the remaining items.

                                                                     Irregular Batwing Shirt

As I mentioned baggier, looser fit clothes aren't something that usually suits me but I picked out this one shirt because I liked the print and it's sort of unique look it had.
It sort of looks like a type of inverted photograph, kinda fitting for me anyway since I love photography but I also like subtle more abstract things.

Anyway, after wearing this shirt I'm really pleased with it and the looser fit is actually extremely comfortable particularly with warm weather. On top of that, I even like the oversized fit it has, the cut of the shirt still looks good without being shapeless.
It's also available in two colors, check it out here for under $10!

Now moving on to some jewelry. I got several jewelry pieces and they're really affordable so you can easily bundle several together and still get a lot for what you pay for.

First I got these two rings because I thought they were pretty cool and unique.
And I like interesting jewelry like this.

                  Butterfly Joint Ring                                                               Double V Ring

I also got a couple necklaces as well.
I liked them as well. Though I should mention I got the black color of the triangle pendant and it's a bit more like a dark silver.

Shoes: YRU Qozmo Sky (Black)

There's also a sale for 15% off jewelry for Mother's day!

~Sleek Chic

Recently I got to wear my first item from CNDirect.
I've had my eye on this jacket for awhile, I really liked the shape and layering. The coat has a very modern chic look, even a bit futuristic.  I was very much looking forward to wearing this item when it arrived and now I have some photos to share of it!

I'm wearing the "Winter Woolen Overcoat" (click for link).
You can find this item for sale in multiple size on the CNDirect website.

First Impression:
I loved the coat, it's really something different for me as I don't own anything else like this. I particularly like the difference in texture of the woolen material and the contrast of the faux leather trim. The coat can be worn open and loose for a more relaxed look. But I think the layering of how the coat closes is really what makes it unique. To close the coat, simply snap the knob on the right of the coat and fold it over the back (towards the neck). The snap fits securely so be gentle when unsnapping it. One other point I want to mention, this is a unisex item that I think will appeal to anyone but the item is sized for women, I recommend (any gender) to go a size (or two) up from your regular size. The sizing is for an Asian size, when in doubt it's always better to go a size up.









How I Styled it:
Of course, I had to wear all black for this outfit. This coat reminds me very much of a sort of a modern take on a ninja if they had street-wear. The full black outfit I think also keeps the outfit simpler and has a more minimalist appeal. I also had the perfect pants for these! Some black skinny pants with faux leather panels, I loved how this matched so well with the texture of the coat. I wore some of my simpler boots, some combat boots with buckles.
Also, my hair currently has a bit of an unusual cut at the moment, but I think it sort of fits for a more modern look.
I think the coat is very trendy and stylish, when closed it's more mysterious and when open it's more casual but versatile.

What I'm wearing:
 
Coat: CNDirect
Rings and Belt: H&M
Sunglasses: Second-Hand
Pants: Hot Topic
Boots: Target
Contacts: Solution-Lens

 My Conclusion:

 This is the first item I've received from CNDirect but based on this positive experience and their vast selection of fashionable clothing, I would highly recommend them for both their good service and for their excellent clothing. Remember this particular coat is currently for sale on their website, you can go directly to it if you click the links above where I list what I'm wearing.
