A Marvelous Mandarin Dress for the Snow Moon & the Lantern Festival





Feb 24, 2024 is a special day not only because of the numbers. It coincides with the snow moon in American culture and this year's Lantern Festival in Chinese culture.

As Chinese-Americans, my husband and I hosted a luncheon in celebration of this special day. Since I'm writing a fashion blog, I'm only displaying a photo of myself at the event venue in this post. The point is to show my figure flattering Mandarin dress.

The colorblock design of this Mandarin dress accentuates the waist as marvelously as it gets! This is a custom-made dress ordered from a Chinese website. If you are interested in Mandarin dresses, I would recommend searching for Chinese websites that sell them and getting them custom-made. You can ask them to make a dress similar to mine.

In the meantime, enjoy the beautiful full moon tonight!

Spicing Up a T-shirt & Denim Skirt Combo

Image
  It's easy to put together a T-shirt and denim skirt combo in summertime. A denim skirt works just as well as denim shorts in hot weather but looks slightly more formal. It's therefore more versatile. Why not pick a watercolor print T-shirt with some blue color on it to pair with your denim skirt? It will look more colorful and thus more cheerful than a plain T-shirt. It's also a good idea to belt your denim skirt. Please note that belts will be on trend this fall. So a belt will make you fashion forward. Before fall comes, happy summer!

Clueless-Inspired Yellow Plaid

  Can you believe it was 30 years ago when Clueless became a hit? Those of us who were kids then may still be kids at heart. So, why not put on a yellow plaid skirt for the sake of nostalgia? A yellow plaid set like Cher Horowitz's may be an overdose, too flashy for a grown-up when it's still two weeks away from Halloween. So, I chose to pair the yellow plaid skirt with this year's butter yellow crop jacket as an update. A light jacket is warm enough in the mild October weather of California. Honestly speaking, I'm now a little skinnier than I was in middle school. It takes a lot of discipline to constantly maintain a slim body figure after losing excessive puberty weight, but it's doable. I'm living proof. Willing to share my weight management tips with anyone interested. Happy autumn!
