A sudden rush of cold air left a lingering chill as winter break reaches its untimely end. Though I prefer warmer temperatures, piling on layers always makes for better outfits. Anyways, one of my favorite pastimes was creating looks that appear much more exuberant and lavish than on the hanger. The Très Chic on my sweater was a bit plain so to create more depth and texture, black beads were added. I've always wanted to create a YouTube channel to document my outfits in motion... maybe after I graduate! But I digress... this is one of the outfits I'd wear to school. I was a bit more daring as an undergrad since I did wear these heels on campus. Yes, I walked around Ring Road and through Aldrich Park.... I've really put my feet through it all however, I've since morphed into more sensible shoes. Until next time!
I have exactly one week left of school for the rest of my life! Grad school/pharmacy school is reaching it's end way too fast. I can vividly recall walking onto campus for the first time... I was wearing a pant suit for interviews and running on adrenaline since I was up at 5AM (cue nostalgia and moody music). 3 years later, I'm wrapping up the last leg of my didactic curriculum and transitioning to my clinical clerkship otherwise known as rotations. Although I'm ready for a new adventure in life, I'm going to miss being in the classroom. The confines of school was an appropriate place to make mistakes without any detrimental consequences. Now it's time to hone in all the skills and knowledge I acquired from UCSD and apply it to rotations/reality. I'm hoping I will have more time to post during my 4th year - both fashion and pharmacy.
Onwards to this post, one of the most versatile pieces I own is this sleeveless lace top from Banana! If you peruse the Banana Republic website, you'll notice that many items are not available for petites 😢. I got an X-Small for this top and it's a tad bit long but nothing a simple alteration can't fix! I decided to stick with a classic black and white color scheme for this outfit. However, I couldn't resist the urge to add a splash of color! This is a great outfit for a casual day out or even school! This exact trimmed sleeveless top is sold out but I linked an alternative Banana Republic top at the bottom!
I'm back to my regular outfit posts though I would love to move my blog into the direction of also incorporating lifestyle and travel. I mentioned it in the past but I did not realize how life as a student would rapidly consume me. I'm typically in front of the camera lens whenever I have a DSLR around however, I do snap a lot of pictures on my iPhone that I upload onto my VSCO. It's been one crazy summer and I cannot believe I start school in two weeks. From the numerous conversations I've had with upperclassmen, the second year of pharmacy is both a blessing and a curse. Why? Well, we have shorter days along with podcasts! One of the unique things about UCSD is that pharmacy students take courses with medical students during their second year. Which leads to the most common negative thing I hear. According to my colleagues, medical students typically regard pharmacy students as lower on the totem pole. I've seen and heard about this from a non-health professional patient's standpoint but to face this bias amongst healthcare providers? It's absurd. I'm excited for the school year to come and I'm hoping for the best. Hopefully there's no patronizing and all the stories I heard were isolated events.
Anyways, this outfit was actually taken in April 2017 for a day out at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. I found this comfortable black and white sweater dress that kept me warm throughout the chilly day. Since Jonathan and I planned on walking around Downtown San Diego, I wore my platform sneakers ( Get these exact oxford platform sneakers here at ZAPPOS ). We ventured into Little Italy where we came across this Firehouse Museum. Although it was closed, it made for a great contrasting backdrop! I've explored quite a bit of Downtown San Diego... from Seaport Village to the San Diego Passport Agency Building but I still feel like a transplant in the area. There's always something new around the corner and the streets are filled with so much life (not to mention tourists) on the weekends. I'm slowly discovering secrets spots in San Diego and I can't wait to document and share them with you guys! Until next time!
