Oddness/Weirdness

I've blogged about Key from Shinee's airport fashion enough times that I thought I'd move on to someone else, namely Taemin.  This guy is just so adorable, but don't tell him that.  I know he'd rather be thought of as manly and sexy, so we'll go with that. Taemin usually gives great airport style, especially in the last few years.  In the past, he tended to wear huge jackets that obviously were not originally his, so I'm glad he's over that phase.  One thing I really like about Taemin is that he tends to wear things he likes multiple times, often in quick succession, many of them gifts from fans.  It's kinda cute knowing that the guy really likes something, right?

Key was out and about in Seoul today, doing what?  Shopping, of course!  Totally my favorite thing to do too...

So I've decided (finally) to change this blog up a bit.  I'll continue to post about Kpop related stuff here; this will, of course, include Kpop fashion.  I'll be blogging about all other types of fashion on a new site: OddnessWeirdnessFashion .  You can access that, if you so choose, by the link at the top of this blog. I realized I needed to change the blog after having more than a few people suggest that I should have 2 separate pages for fashion and Kpop.  There are definitely people that just want to come here to read about Kpop; there are also the people that just want to read about fashion.  The majority of people who come to this blog are Kpop fans so I'm definitely not changing that dynamic. The good thing about this is that I'll be able to focus more on Kpop related stuff and not feel guilty when I don't post something about fashion here.  Yay for that!  Phew... The reason why I went with Tumblr for my fashion blog is that, to tell ...

I'm not usually a label whore, especially for those designer brands that are all about putting their initials all over everything, but for some reason I can really get into the brand MCM.

Might have to do some DIY-ing...

One thing you will rarely ever see me without is some sort of blazer, vest or cardi because I love, love, LOVE to layer, even in the heights of summer.  Yes, I am the one you see wearing a jacket in July, probably sweating bullets but whatever.  That's how I do! I seem to have acquired quite the collection of jackets and blazers and am always looking for more.  I especially am into ones with unique touches like asymmetrical hems, interesting proportions, zippers in odd places, all that good stuff.

Love.

I've always been a sucker for a wide leg pants... I like them all:  high waisted, extra wide, bellbottom, flare, super flare, palazzo, you name it, I like it.  I don't particularly care if they're in style that season or not, I'm all over them like peanut butter on jelly.  I consider this style to be flattering on many women, but especially if you're taller, like me.  If not, throw on some high wedges or platforms and work that strut.

Warning: This is not a trend for the faint of heart.  This is for people who embrace color and fun, fab prints and aren't afraid to rock them.  Don't be afraid to try a floral print with another, more bold, floral print or even with a totally different print.  If you're not as daring, pair it with a bright pop of color or a neutral...either way is great.  Will I be wearing a pop of floral this spring?  Why yes I will!

If I was that thin and had that level of money (you know, the kind where you spend $1000 on a pair of shoes without blinking), I'd totally want to dress like Taylor Tomasi Hill.  Talk about my style icon!  Almost every time I see a pic of her I'm pretty much speechless at the fabulosity.  She knows how to put together disparate pieces to make this incredibly fashion forward whole; She's not really trendy... she's just got her own thing going on. Taylor Tomasi Hill is the style and accessories director for Marie Claire US.

There's something so androgynous and edgy about a well-made black leather piece.

Diva Key is at it again... Shinee made their way over to Paris for an episode of Music Bank yesterday, Key was flaw-free as usual.

In the past year or so I have really gotten into leopard print.  I've embraced the print and cherished the print and invited it into my wardrobe.  Don't get me wrong, my closet is not bursting at the seams with leopard items but I've come a long way from when I absolutely hated it.  I'm even considering getting more leopard print pieces... I just have to wait till I find something else I love in the right hue and tone. You can don just a peek of leopard or you can clothe yourself in a few pieces... it's all in where your comfort zone is.
