Throwback College Life

Somehow these two looks take me back to my college years. When the youthful denim is paired with innocent colors like crisp white, powder blue or baby pink, it results an outfit that instantly makes us look and feel 10 years younger. Since we have gone so far from there, show off our hard work with enviable add-ons, like a pair of luxurious loafers or an on-trend handbag.

In Chinese: 今天的这两个造型把我带回了大学时代。单宁特有的年轻感搭配上清爽的白色或少女味十足的浅粉、浅蓝,能立即减龄10岁。“装嫩”的打扮就不要再配上学生味浓厚的球鞋或芭蕾平底鞋了,选择性感的尖头包鞋奢华风的麂皮乐福鞋,加上当下最夯的背包,那种冲突的美是只有我们熟龄女才能驾驭的。

I'm Helen. In the huge fashion world, what attracts me the most is the way different people accessorize themselves. Our daily outfit choices are not just about the pieces we pick, they relate to something lurking deeply within our hearts: how we feel about ourselves, how we express ourselves to the rest of the world, what kind of people do we want to be and what kind of life do we want to live. Following my passion for fashion, I immerse myself in this bizarre world and try my best to share what I learned with you!
