Feels Like Summer: Cropped Top and Maxi Striped Skirt
I heard that most areas of North America are already facing very cold weather. Unfortunately, the weather in Los Angeles is still pretty warm and it is making it very difficult and not fun to enjoy layering. I get many comments/emails regarding posting more “fall/winter” looks for inspiration for you guys experiencing the real colder weather . . . but it makes it very difficult for me to put on “cold weather gear” when it feels like a Summer outside most of the time! I was debating whether to post this look today, because it’s such not a winter/Fall related look.
So let me try to talk about something else instead of what I am wearing today then. It’s about shopping, it’s the holiday season, while the Black Friday and Cyber Monday are just around the corner, many people ask me what to buy and where.
As I get older, I have realized it is really is more about quality over quantity. Before I would just buy, buy, buy when pretty things were on sale, or when it’s “the last one” or “limited item” or something, but I wasn’t really concern about the quality, so I obviously just acquired a bunch of stuff that really wasn’t worth it. Now, I really scout for the perfect piece, bag, jacket, jewelry, shoes. I really do save money to splurge on the ‘right’ item because I know in the long run, I’ll have it for years to come. Quality pieces are investments in my wardrobe.
But, of course, in most of cases, we can’t shop what we like most because of other priorities, and that’s nothing wrong at all. Being smart is the key. Always look for the best deal, or coupon, honest reviews, and search for the best price — oh, and don’t forget to check the return policy at the same time! Buy something that your wardrobe NEEDS for years but not just for a couple of weeks, or even months.
I splurged a little . . . well, you must know that I scored this Proenza Schouler PS11 Tote Bag for a very good price (see the post here). I will be making a couple wish lists for this holiday season for sure, and then just need to wait for the best time to shop and the best price.

In Chinese: 听说在很多城市，已经遭受寒冷空气的袭击，很不幸的，在洛杉矶这里，天气还很温暖，穿衣不能玩叠穿，还真不好玩。不少朋友给我来信说，让我提供些在冷天穿的搭配灵感。我一直都盼着我们这里温度赶紧降下来，可惜我们这边天天都好象夏天。在发这篇博文前，想了许久是不是该发，因为确实看着不象是应该在11月天穿的搭配。
那么就允许我说些搭配外的话题，聊下购物如何？接下来的节日，又有“黑色星期五”，又有“网络周一”，许多朋友让我提供一些好的单品的购买建议。
今天还具体说不出哪些单品，但是来说个大概？就是随着我年龄的增长，现在购物质量永远高过数量。以前，遇到打折期或是最后一件或是限量款什么的，总是买啊买啊的。现在看着衣橱里一些不再用的单品，真是后悔和可惜。所以现在，都是遇上了真正“合试”的再买，关键的，是要看能穿几年？
一些朋友也说了，很多经典单品都很贵，因为各种原因，暂时还买不起。人人都有买不起的时候，一点错都没有。所以我们在购物时要讲究聪明购物。打折啊，优惠码什么的，信息一定要强和广，货比三家的同时，看清楚退换规则。买衣橱里真正需要的而且能穿上几年的东西，那种为了一次活动，或者是只能穿上几个星期或几个月的，就三思吧！
我喜欢买名牌包和鞋子，你在这篇文章里看我在讲到说以很优惠的价格买到这个Proenza Schouler PS11 包包，其实我的90%的名牌包和鞋子都是打折季买的。这个随之将来的打折热期我肯定是要罗列几份欲望清单，就等待好的时机和价格下手。你呢？这个假日都有哪些购物打算？快说来大家分享？
