Black Stripes and Royal Blue

First and foremost, I'd like to extend my thoughts and prayers to the victims of the Paris shooting. It makes me sick to my stomach that there are heartless terrorists killing innocent people. What's even scarier is that we don't know if they will ever stop and where they will strike next. Every person has their dreams, their family, and their loved ones. Every life is just as important as our own. I wish they would just stop hurting people!

On a lighter note, it was very windy in San Francisco today. It was a perfect day for my J. Crew royal blue majesty peacoat (here, color sold out in petite size) paired with this white ankle jeans (here) I found at Uniqlo. For most of my basics like tank tops, tee shirts and tights, Uniqlo is usually my go-to since their fit is flattering and doesn't break the bank. I say "ankle jeans", but they don't quite hit my ankles since as I have shorter legs (heh). Instead, it came out to be a perfect length jean which I didn't need to fold or have hemmed. I usually need to wear 28inch inseams or lower for jean/pants depending on the brand. I got some food and makeup on the jeans (I'm clumsy) but there was minimal shrinkage and the stains came out entirely. Overall pretty high quality jeans!

Meet and Greet

It was so great talking to Jean (from extrapetite.com) at her Meet and Greet at Anthropologie today! Being that it was my first time attending an event like this, I didn't know what to expect and wasn't sure what I would wear. I noticed right when I walked in that I was the only one wearing a lace dress (it was freezing at night), heels and a somewhat bold necklace. But as they always say, it's better to overdress than underdress.

I also clearly had too much champagne as I started to feel a bit nervous and couldn't control my train of thought. She knew right away what brands I was wearing so she definitely has an eye for style - she's absolutely the style guru! I was wearing my first ever royal blue peacoat from J.Crew and we mentioned it received such negative reviews online, but I think the fit is flattering and still has that classy look. Glad she agreed as well! All in all it was a fun experience and hope to see Jean in San Francisco again!

Neutral Colors and Oversized Scarf

Happy November! San Francisco has been getting colder lately, but this weekend the clouds took a break while the sun shone brightly so it was comfortably warm. But because this is San Francisco, you can't leave the house without something to protect you from unexpected chills. It was the perfect weather for an oversized scarf while keeping it cool with a flowy skirt. We strolled around Chinatown for lunch and headed to the Urban Epicurean Festival at Fort Mason.

Outfit: Oversized scarf from ASOS (similar here), Tory Burch Kira Quilted Clutch (here), Biala Ankle Bootie (here), Banana Republic Skirt and LOFT sweater (here)
