Let's Plaid — The Tranquility Report

Hi everyone! Those of you followed me, probably already that I’ve been obsessed my mom’s sheer jumper for a while. I love it so dearly as whenever I wear it, I always feel like it creates an extra layer of fun and edginess. Coming from a somewhat more fashion conservative country like Taiwan (but we just legalize gay marriage, YAY for that!), wearing something like this will definitely get you a lot of attention when walking down the street- good ones and bad ones- so I was never dare to do it.

大家好！今天要分享的這個風格有點強烈，有在follow我的人應該都知道我最近十分迷陳媽媽這件她年輕時傳下來的透視感連身衣。時尚這個東西真的滿有趣的，媽媽年代流行過的東西，十幾二十年後居然又紅回來了，這不是叫我們衣服都別丟嗎！大家應該有發現，我以前在台灣穿衣服是比較保守的，這種透視感的衣服叫我穿了走在路上，我還真的不太敢。陳媽也耳提面命跟我說這件衣服是只露袖子的，不可以露太多。（抱歉陳媽，我徹底左耳進右耳出XD）

One thing I learn after moving New York, is that you literally can be whoever you want to be. Tell you one rebellious story (probably as rebellious as I can get in my entire life I know I am a light weight lol), the first week I was here, my cousin TJ took me to a company party on top of the Rock, and they have those beautiful hydrangeas (which happen to be my favorite flower). When the party was coming to an end and everybody was leaving, I was like, “I really want those hydrangeas.” TJ went like “Take it.” Then I was like “Noooo, that’s so bad I dare not.” Then he said “It’s New York, you go after the things you want.” Then guess what, I walked out that amazing party with some beautiful hydrangeas in my hand, and I never regret it.

搬到紐約後我體會最明顯的一件事，就是在紐約，你完全可以做自己。紐約人處變不驚見怪不怪的能力我覺得真的超強，大概是因為路上強人多，瘋子也多吧（菸）。我今天想要分享一個叛逆的故事，在我剛搬來紐約的時候，我的表哥TJ帶我去洛克斐勒大廈頂樓參加一個公司Party，然後現場佈置了滿滿的漂亮紫色繡球花，十分深得我心。那時候要離開活動現場時，我很想要那個繡球花。TJ說：「你就拿！」我說：「我不敢～」他說：「這裡是紐約，你想要的東西，你就要爭取。」最後我離開會場時，我手上就多了兩大朵漂亮的繡球花。

The purpose of me sharing this story is not me telling you that you should start taking flowers from random places, the motto of the story is, life is short, and you got to have a little fun, and it’s mandatory. Same with fashion, do you stare in the mirror before you leave your places everyday thinking what or how people would think about your outfit/style? Well, excuse me for the language, but scr*w them! It’s your life, your style, and you wear what you want to wear, and be who you want to be.

我跟各位分享這個故事不是叫你變成偷花賊，我想要分享的重點是，人生很短，你要做你自己想做的事情，踏出自己的舒適圈，享受人生。在每日的穿搭上也是一樣的，如果你曾經站在鏡子前對於自己的風格沒有自信，擔心別人會怎麼想，真的是不要管他們！這是你的人生、你的風格、你想穿什麼就穿什麼，你想成為什麼樣的人就成為什麼樣的人，做自己，好自在！

So today I am styling the sheer top with a silver skirt. I know there are some skin shown, but seriously who cares? To make the total look more fun, I tied a plaid shirt around my waist to accentuate the waistline and to give a pop of colors. To tone down the sexiness, I also wear a basketball cap from @JNSfashion to give a more edgy and punky vibe. I hope you enjoy this look, and my personal story! (and don’t report me lol!) Sending loves to you all, thanks for reading!

講了這麼多，就是要為我今天稍微強烈風格的造型鋪梗（撥劉海）。今天我把透視感連身衣搭配了一件高腰銀色的鉛筆裙。為了讓腰際線條更明顯，我在腰間綁了一件方格襯衫。除了讓整體造型更有層次外，也讓顏色在視覺上有個亮點。因為我不想看起來過份性感，所以我也搭配了一個棒球帽，讓棒球帽上的可愛小紅唇跟腰間的紅色方格襯衫呼應，是否讓整體造型看起來更有趣呢？以上分享，我們下回見！
