Statue of Liberty | Beijing Streetstyle

green and black outfit chinese ribbon tube 'tude hungry hungry goldfish beijing streetstyle
"This is How I Roll" sushi shirt (gift from JJ) //

From China gold spike headband // Thrifted Goodwill/Ann Taylor strappy wedge sandals //

Photography: Dad; thanks uncle for helping out!

WORST TITLE EVER. So, the only time I lugged out my SLR during my China trip was for this outfit photoshoot (sad, I know). My eldest uncle is into photography too, so we went all around our neighborhood in Beijing, posing in front of fruit stands, in parks, even stopping in an underpass (7/2). Thanks Dad for taking these photos! Something about the kelly green and spiked headband makes me think of the Statue of Liberty ... creativity bust.

I must have felt extra punny and cheeky that morning once I dug out the laugh-out-loud sushi shirt JJ got me from San Fran from my suitcase (which I have effectively been living in all summer). Then I got all matchy matchy and whipped out the trusty then-new detachable peter pan collar ($7) to balance the sequined black skirt on the bottom ($7). I like that the sequins create a hidden design and are matte so it's not too overwhelming during the daytime. Because it was so on-sale for a boutique item, JJ's mom bought it when we were shopping in Los Gatos and later surprise-gifted it to me.

I don't even understand why they're called "Peter Pan" collars - they look more like something wendy would wear. And if you can't remember, the little flying fella actually wore V-NECK POLOS ... if that's not a faux pas then I don't know what is. Still, ugly yet shocking things like Lady Gaga's meat dress go down in history along with George Washington's fake teeth (you do remember our childhoods' rendition of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, don't you?). These detachable collars probably aren't a good idea during the heat of summer, because as I remember Beijing was entirely muggy and a zillion degrees the entire time, making accessorizing impractical.

So scatterbrained today. Should be packpackpackpacking.

Hmmm I'm not a big sequins fan tbh...I don't really like the feel of it lol ^^"
If I had to choose though I'd go for matte as it's not too in your face
Loooove the David and Goliath tee btw!! It's too cute and funny xD

I LOVE the title, and you're wearing green. Love the tee. I used to have one too from Delia's! Anyways, love the sparkly in the skirt matched with the collar. Don't know why they are called Peter Pan either!

First of all, thank you for visiting my blog! It means so much. Secondly, I love the look of tee shirts like this with skirts. Any kind of "graphic tee" (which I typically abhor but have found some noteworthy exceptions) paired with skirts or dressier things just makes me happy. You did a great job dressing yours up!
You've definitely gained yourself a new follower!

I LOVE that tee, it's such a cute design, and the quirkyness goes so well with the collar and skirt :) And you're so right now that I think about it - Peter Pan NEVER wore collars like that! I feel enlightened haha

Um, I love your shirt. I think that trumps all the cute, graphic tees I've seen thus far! :D
But hahahah, I've never understood why they're called peter pan collars either. But after a quick Wiki search ( goodness, gotta love that site ), it's because one of the first Peter Pan actresses wore that collar as her costume ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Pan_collar ). ^^
