I think becoming liaison to the fashion department at work is not doing me any good at all. Cos given how serious I take my job, you know I am going to spend a lot more time getting to know the subject matters so that I can communicate with faculty and students better. Now I know I have fashion sense, but I don’t have any formal training nor knowing any terminology or methodology of the industry, the workflow and such. I know I have a lot to learn so I started going through the textbooks, the periodicals, the electronic resources, anything I can get my hands on. You might say so far so good, what’s wrong with the whole picture, well, what’s wrong is that the more I know about fashion, the more I want to shop the things I saw!!!! I become obsessed with the latest trends, color themes and patterns. So far I have been showing an incredible amount of restraint on my part, but i dunno how long I can last until I start buying like crazy!

Anyway, so the latest fashion trend that I am obsessed about is scarf. Scarf? isn’t it a bit late when the weather is fast changing from winter to spring to summer? Actually no, I am not talking about scarves that keep you warm, I am talking about the skinny scarf for spring! It’s accessory of the moment and its all about style. It’s so versatile that you can use it with any style. From formal to casual, from wearing it with a jacket to shirt to just tees or, in some case, nothing at all! And of course the more I read about it the more I notice it on the streets, in stores, and on celebrities. It’s everywhere! So today, I just can’t help it, my defense totally break down. I went on a scarf hunting trip in Soho with Scott. We walked through so many different stores. I ended up with two – while he ended up with 5! :p

On a side note, I come to the conclusion that if you want to find XS or pants or jeans waist under 28, you need to go to some expensive brands! I have been shopping at the wrong places! No wonder I can’t find jeans that’s smaller than 28! It’s not gonna be in Express, Uniqlo or H&M, they are all hidden in Diesel, Club Monaco, and I bet Zara, Hugo Boss, Kenneth Cole and such would have it too! You see it’s all about the demographic. The more expensive the brands are, the more fashion conscious their customers are, and they would definitely be thinner than the brands that targeted at general public! Hence my conclusion! I need to earn more money, so that I can buy clothes that can fit me!
