Late in the game

I must admit that growing up, I hated wearing turtleneck because I felt like I was always being strangled when I wear one. Oh, how times have changed! Now, I just can't get enough of it. It's such a great staple in a wardrobe.
Saks 5th ribbed turtleneck, dress I sewed using the Merchant and Mills Bantam pattern, Ugg Australia boots
 Unfortunately, this is the only turtleneck top I currently have so you'll be seeing this a lot:D
Because this is my last post for the week, I thought I'd wear red and wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year! Kung Hei Fat Choi!

Kung Hei Fat Choi Emmy! You look great in red! I'll be celebrating too since I've adopted the holiday as well. HaHaHa I felt the same way about turtlenecks when I was younger! Except if they were ruffled around the neckline and sleeves :P I now have them in basic winter white, black & camel. Love them. They'll never go out of style.

I wore turtlenecks for the longest time until I came to the realization that they're not all that flattering for my body type and now I don't go anywhere near them. Loving this festive combination you put together here. Gotta wear lucky red for CNY! Happy new year to you and your family my friend! Wishing you a happy, healthy and prosperous year of the fire rooster! Have fun celebrating :D

I kind of forgot turtlenecks exist and I used to wear a classic black one all the time with baby doll dresses. I could totally make my summer wardrobe stretch hardcore into winter with a few!

Happy Chinese New Year! It's so funny the things that change as we get older, right? The biggest thing for me is sleep. I used to hate going to sleep as a kid, but now I sometimes wish I could sleep all day, lol.

Turtle necks are so flattering on me but I only like then in the serious cold! ;D I still feel a bit of that strangling affect. You look cute in yours :)

Like seriously? I am the biggest fan of turtle necks and wear them a whole lot. A little too much if you ask me haha. It looks great on you and the red is just perfect. I love your uggs.

 If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted! What I love about Alabama Chanin is that many of their pieces are one-of-a-kind. PS It was my eldest's birthday when these pics were taken:) How was your weekend? Any new purchases lately?

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)
