<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Been looking into strap sandals since they look great with jeans/skirt/dress/shorts. You can dress it up or dress it down. Ran into these sandal and found them to be rather similar minus the price tag. So is it a steal or do you get what you pay for? Strap sandals has been around for years. The special feature of these two is the sleeve at the back of your ankle that creates a more unique look. If you were to compare the two, here are the differences.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. front straps: The front strap of VC sandals are thicker, which makes it less comfortable. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. heel height: both are approximately 3.5inches for size 8-9. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. ankle sleeve: VC sandal protrudes out more, which means less friction at the back of your ankle while walking.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. material: VC uses soft leather. BP uses synthetic lining. So VC is easier on the skin and will conform to the shape of your feet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. Price: BP. is much cheaper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Overall, BP. was more comfortable because I have small bunions and the BP sandals gave my feet plenty of room. Although it is not made of our leather, the placement of the straps made it comfortable to wear. The thinner strap also makes the shoe look more sleek. My only complaint for this shoe is that because it's synthetic material, it is not as comfortable at the ankle area. And this pair of shoe runs large. I normally would wear 5 or 5.5. With this pair (BP.) shoes, I ended up fitting into a size 4.5 with extra room in the back. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My final verdict: BP. wins.</div>

Speaking of shoes that look like twins, Vince Camuto came out with a shoe that looks IDENTICAL to a pair of shoes I bought last year from Dolce Vita. So if you didn't get to buy last season's Dolce Vita because they ran out of stock, Vince Camuto came out with a doppelganger!</div>

I love my Dolce Vita alpha leather flats. I'm tempted to buy the Vince Camuto one too so I can own them in both black and brown. I think I love shoes ^.^<br />

We've been looking at houses in Claremont and passed by this little park that ended up being the perfect backdrop for this week's photos. Ever since I saw a fireplace made with stacking stones, I've been obsessed with it. So when I saw the stacking stone wall, I just had to stop and take some photos there. I've been looking for a pink wool jacket this winter and I finally found one that fits me! It's so warm and comfy. This shade of pink matches casually with jeans and drapes elegantly over a dress. I can never say no to versatility. </div>

The fabric feels like mohair but it's soft and not irritating to the skin at all. It is lined. It is 30% wool, 25% polyester, 23% alpaga, and 15% mohair. Very warm and comfortable. Was on sale for $39.99!<br />

Finally, my hubby and I have the same day off to take some blog photos. Sometimes I would walk by the Zara girls section because kids clothes length are just right for us petite girls. For me, girls clothes is a hit or miss. Sometimes, even if it fits, it doesn't look right. Or at times, the colors are too childlike (ie. bright pink, neon green). But, this winter, I found a few jackets I love from Zara girls. I was rather shocked that I ended up wearing a size 9-10 for the grey quarter jacket. But, I guess that jacket runs large. 3 jackets for $70 was such a good deal! If you are petite too, check Zara girls out :) Girls clothes cutting tends to be different but with jackets, skirts, and leggings/skinny pants, girls clothes are perfect for us petites. Stay warm this winter girls!</div>

Months ago, I did a post on the DVF Zarita dress since I got lucky and bought the dress on sale. I recently found a cheaper, and possibly better alternative to the DVF dress. I have received many complements on this dress and have worn it many times for special events. My husband almost never recognize a dress I wear more than once. But, with this dress, he was shockingly able to recall all the times I've worn it and where I wore it to. So perhaps, this gorgeous dress is memorable? </div>

DIFFERENCES:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Length:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Adrianna Papell Long Sleeve Lace Sheath Dress --> 34" (petite), 36" (regular)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-DVF Zarita --> 33.5" (no petite size available)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Material:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Adrianna Papell Long Sleeve Lace Sheath Dress --> 56% rayon, 44% nylon</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
- DVF Zarita --> 70% rayon, 30% nylon</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Both rayon and nylon are cheaper alternative to silk. So both dresses will drape well. However, rayon ages poorly compared to nylon. Many rayon products yellow with age and pill or form small balls and areas of roughness where the fabric is most heavily worn. </div>

Bottom: Target's</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
THE DIFFERENCES:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. The differences are very subtle. The jewels in Loft's sweaters have encasements to secure the jewels. Both Target and Loft's jewels are individually sewn on. Meaning both are secure but you will be able to see the thread if you look closely on the Target sweater. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Material and care instructions </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Loft sweater - since the Loft sweaters contain either 30% wool or 10% silk, the care instructions have adviced to hand wash and lay flat to dry. The target sweaters are made in cotton, rayon, and nylon. Therefore, you may machine wash in cold and tumble try, and it's okay to iron.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Cost - I'm stating the obvious here. You are paying more for the wool/silk/jewel incasement. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. sizing - I'm happy that Target's xs is running smaller. Target's XS fits me just as well as Loft's PXS or PXXS. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
FINAL verdict: I personally hate hand washing clothes. I like tossing my sweaters in a net bag and wash in cold water, followed by tumble dry in my dryer. It just makes life a little easier. Also, if you have kids, your clothes are bound to get dirty and it will hurt to get stains you can't remove on an expensive sweater. For practical reasons, I will pick Target sweaters over Loft. But, both are pretty and great choices for the holidays. Happy shopping everyone!</div>

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Sorry for the delayed post. I was in the mountains the last few days and didn't have very good internet connections. I was at Seven Gables Inn and saw the cutest old couples chatting about their grandchildren. Grandma 1: "You know those kids are catching on to their parents nowadays. They don't use Facebook anymore. It's all about Instagram now." Grandma 2: "Yes, I think kids realized they don't want their parents to know everything." Grandma 1: "I agree, Facebook is for older people." Anyhow, they were so cute, I just had to share it with you. I feel somewhat aged because I'm a Facebook user. I wonder what social media people will share their life in 10 years from now. <br />
<br />
So, I've been on a brown boots hunt for the longest time. When I look for boots, it's about the length, fit, height, and comfort. <br />
<br />
1. <b>Fit </b>- I like it when the fit is sleek without unwanted gaps for a more classy, chic look. This may apply especially to those with varus deformity (aka bow leg) Here is a comparison.<br />
<br />

I simply love slim, fitted boots. </div>
<br />
2<b>. length</b>: This depends on your leg length. If you have long skinny legs, you can essentially pull anything off. Shorter legs may benefits from optical illusion. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When boots do not cover the thinner portions of the leg, the leg will tend to look slimmer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Boots that won't make legs look thicker: ankle, right below the knee, or right over the knee (literally covering up to the knee). </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Boots that won't make legs look shorter: right below the knee or ankle. Anything above the knee will make legs look shorter.</li>
</ul>

This however, does not mean longer boots are not flattering. It just has to hit the leg in the right areas by showing slimmer areas of the leg. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #393939; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Which boot do you vote for? I like both but I only need one pair of brown boots. The Rockport is more comfortable and way more form fitting, makes my legs look longer, but doesn't have the leather shiny look in brown. The Jessica Simpson boots are comfortable, has the leather, shiny look, and fits right over the knee, while showing the slimmer part of the thigh. The color brown is lighter which is more desired for greater contrast with darker/black pants.</span></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tough call, both are nice. My final verdict: Jessica Simpson's Beagan boots. If you are looking for black boots, I highly suggest the Rockport Total Motion in black leather :)</div>

I'm a huge skincare addict. I'm OCD with removing makeup at the end of the day. For years I've been using Philosophy's purity facial cleanser. In the past year, I've been trying different facial cleansers and fell in love with <a href="http://www.sephora.com/makeup-breakup-cool-cleansing-oil-P254604?skuId=1227891">Boscia's makeup -breakup cool cleansing oil</a>. I like it a lot because it removes my makeup in seconds without stripping the natural oil from my face. It didn't have a cooling effect on my face, but, I love the fact that it does a thorough cleansing job, removing the waterproof eyeliner and mascara in seconds.<br />

You really do get what you pay for with skin products. I love the soy cleanser because it leaves a radiant, soft glow after I'm done washing my face. The Boscia's cleanser is also great because it does not strip my oils while cleansing my makeup. Boscia's cleansing oil leaves a soft feeling with no residue. The only downfall in using the soy cleanser is that I use it up so fast. On the contrary, one pump goes a long way with the Boscia cleanser. For the price and what it does, I think I'll be using the Boscia oil cleanser as my daily skincare routine.</div>

My final verdict: love Fresh soy cleanser. But, I find the Boscia's cleanser to be more cost effective and efficient especially on days when I sleep late and don't want to spend a lot of time washing my face. <div class="blogger-post-footer">Follow

Hi everyone :) Sorry I've been MIA. Having 7 ICU downgrades, being on night call for a week, and Q4 day calls, plus studying for my intraining exam has taken up so much time that I'd had no time to blog. I did have a day off yesterday so I dropped by Loft and found out they were having a 50% off everything sale. YAY! What a lovely surprise. Simply click on the picture and it will lead to the the loft link. (ALL MINE is the code online or simply drop in store and they will give you an automatic 50% off your full purchase) I don't know why but the in store prices are cheaper than online prices. I've gotten every piece below in store for $5- $25 max. All jewelry I purchased were $6-$10. The belt was a bit of a splurge. But, for $20, I really love the jewelry belt. It's stretchy so I can use it on on the waist or hip. This belt is a great addition over a dress, a cardigan, or jeans! I will post pics of how I mix and match these pieces for work and casual outings :) My ICU rotation will end in the end of November and hopefully I will have a real weekend off and shoot from blog photos!</div>

I know I have a Kate Spade obsession. And if you followed me in the past, you will know that I LOVE boar skin leather. Here is a bag I've been eyeing. A senior of mine have the same bag and she bought it for $100 in an outlet in Vegas. Girls, this bag is $485 in Nordstrom so if you have a chance and happen to be in Vegas, check out the Kate Spade outlet. Here is THE bag :)</div>

Strangely, the quilted bag is 50% off in store but full price online. Nordstrom is having a price matching event. So check out their bags ^.^</div>

I love a classic bore skin bag. The texture is classic, it's structured, great for work or casual outings. If I go to Vegas, I'm definitely going to hit the Kate Spade outlet and get one of these totes :)</div>

It's because they tailor the ones on TV so they look fitted. No hospital scrubs fit me right because I'm so tiny. Luckily, Wonder Wink's WonderFlex came out with scrubs that fit me without alterations. Details about those scrubs and links to where you can get them are posted <a href="http://sbbeautydiary.blogspot.com/2014/08/scrubs-review-for-petites-wonder-wink.html">here</a>. Scrubs became my every day wear minus clinic days. So, here goes my everyday 10min makeup + hair in scrubs look.<br />
<br />
I bought these in navy blue, grey, and black. I got 1 scrub top, 1 slim fit pants, and 1 regular fit per color. WonderFlex is about $10 - $15 less than the Grey's Anatomy scrubs.

As mentioned in my previous posts, I permed my hair. Regular perm, not digital perm. I didn't iron curl my hair. I wake up in the morning and my hair looks like this with a little frizz. I didn't highlight my hair either. My perm changed the color of my hair over time and I guess my hair looks lightened up from all the scattered white hair on my head. I do simple everyday 10min makeup which includes concealer, eyeliner, and brow gel. If I look a little pale, I will toss on blush. But, that's about it.</div>

I've heard many people talk about grey's anatomy scrubs and they do look very comfortable and fitting on many nurses. I personally really like Wonder Wink Flex. It's very comfortable, $10-20 cheaper, and has pockets that are extremely functional and in all the right places. <br />
<br />
Wonder Wink has many lines of scrubs made with different materials. There is the origins, four stretch, flex, plus, utility, easy fit and mink. I personally really like flex. I'm not a fan of four stretch or origins because the cutting doesn't quit fit right. Flex is perfect both in thickness, and cutting.<br />
<br />
I'm 5'2, 97lbs and the wonder flex pxxs fits me like a glove. It does shrink in the wash.<br />
<br />
Here are the measurements post shrinkage from being washed in hot water and machine dried. Measurements taken with shirt lying flat.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">I love these scrub pants. The pockets on the side of the leg is perfect for half folded notes. The slim cutting makes it look very fashionable. To a point where they look like jeans from far away. Take off the scrub top, add on a t shirt and you're ready to go out to run errands without looking like you are wearing a uniform. I have received endless complements on these slim fit scrub pants. This pair of pants have less pockets but it's okay because I wear it with a scrub top that has 4 pockets! Plus, it's so fitted, putting anything in the pockets would protrude like a tumor.</span></div>

<span style="text-align: start;">These are useful! Front pockets are great for my cash, separate front pocket with velcro closure for coins or credit card, and side pocket for notes. This pair of pants is awesome. Comes in petite so I don't even have to alter the length. Comfy and doesn't look too loose. I highly recommend this :)</span></div>

<span style="text-align: start;">I like how it's fitting. The placement of the pockets are also very practical. It's fitting in the chest and waist area. The pockets are located on the bottom of the top so when you reach down to grab something, phones or coins won't drop out of the pocket. (Things dropping out often happens with chest pockets) The front left has one giant pocket. I can keep all my small pocket books there or my cell phone. The pockets on the right is separated into 2 front and one big back pocket. The two in the front is great for separating my pager, and my pens. The big pocket behind the 2 small ones are great for pocket review books, quick references, or patient stickers, etc. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: start;">Overall, I love these scrubs. The design is practical and fashionable. It's durable and the quality is great. Only thing is that I can't wear it in the OR. But, I wouldn't want all those notes, pens, and books in the OR anyways. So it all works out. If you are petite or want some practical, fitted scrubs, I highly suggest these. I will be posting up pictures of how it looks on me later this week. Until then, thank you for being patient with me. This scrub review post have been long requested and past due! </span><br />
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: start;">Thank you for reading. Have a blessed week!</span><br />

So this is the last post of my Santa Monica beach adventures. We wrapped up our weekend with good food! We got lucky that we were in the area during DINE L.A. Restaurant week. We got to try lots of good food for less. Since it was our birthday weekend, I had to dress up for the occasion :) </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ever since I saw the D&G plum lace dress on Bree from Desperate Housewives, I wanted a plum lace dress. It looked so classy and lady like. Truly a timeless classic that could be worn by 20s-60s. At the time, I was still a medical student. Even now, I wouldn't buy a dress for $8000. For the longest time, I couldn't find one that looked classy like the one Bree wore. </div>

You've probably already seen or heard of this DVF dress. The DVF Zarita dress was finally on sale in plum during the Nordstrom anniversary sale. I thought the color was very nice and I didn't really have to alter at all. I bought this in size 0. The fabric is made out of lace but it's still soft and non irritating to sensitive skin. The length is perfect for petite even though I bought it in regular sizing. The zipper in the back is a double zipper so you can zip up from the bottom if you want a slit. The waist had some extra fabric and I decided it didn't warrant alterations because I've tried lace dresses that were skin tight and the overall look was not very ladylike. I wanted a sophisticated, classy lace dress and this was it! Brownie points for zero alterations needed!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
We stayed at Shutters on the Beach the whole weekend, so here is another outfit :) Isn't it relaxing to listen to the waves and just knock out on the beach? It could get a little breezy in the morning and night so I added a coverup and a thin jacket. The lace coverup is very convenient. I toss it on, add a pair of shorts and a thin jacket, and I'm good to go for casual dining without the need to change. </div>

What a lovely stay at Shutters on the Beach. I loved the 3 shower head shower and the Jacuzzi bath. It was so relaxing to just stare out into the ocean and fall asleep under the sun. And we got lucky, our weekend fell right into the DINE LA week so we got to try so many delicious foods for a fraction of the price. It wasn't that hot on the beach so I tossed on a hoodie I posted on this blog a couple weeks ago. Without further ado, here are some pictures!<br />

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these sweats. Slim fit with a loose casual look that is chic. It's thin so it won't make the legs look bigger, but it's thick enough so it doesn't look see through. It's great for petites! The length (29' inseam) is PERFECT. I highly recommend this. Great for lounging, working out, long study nights, sleepwear, or a casual sporty look. </div>

Thank you <a href="http://staybeautifulforyou.blogspot.com/">Stay Beautiful Inside and Out</a> for nominating me for the Liebster award. I am so flattered I got picked for the award. Here are the questions for me to answer regarding my blog in honor of the newbie award :)<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #e9edec; color: #606060; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, FreeMono, monospace; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.479999542236328px; text-align: justify;">1. What is your favorite place to take your blog pictures?</span><br />
Claremont Village<br />
<span style="background-color: #e9edec; color: #606060; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, FreeMono, monospace; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.479999542236328px; text-align: justify;">2. What is the goal you want to achieve from blogging?</span><br />
Blogging is a way for me to de-stress from a rather mentally and physically demanding job. Don't get me wrong, I love my job and life. But, blogging is a hobby I picked up a few months ago that got me out of the house a little more so I don't just work and study 24-7. I also love sharing good news, which includes all the great fashion finds. Nothing better than retail therapy when I get really stressed!<br />
<span style="background-color: #e9edec; color: #606060; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, FreeMono, monospace; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.479999542236328px; text-align: justify;">3. How much time do you spend in blogging each week?</span><br />
I tend to blog once a week on my day off. I blog on my study breaks so probably sums up to a few hours...<br />
<span style="background-color: #e9edec; color: #606060; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, FreeMono, monospace; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.479999542236328px; text-align: justify;">4. How do you describe your style?</span><br />
I like a lot of things. I love classic wardrobe staples. I love lace and soft, romantic looks. But, I also enjoy studs and leather once in awhile to spice up my mood. <br />
<span style="background-color: #e9edec; color: #606060; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, FreeMono, monospace; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.479999542236328px; text-align: justify;">5. Who take pictures for your blogs?</span><br />
My loving, supporting husband that is patient with my awkward poses.<br />
<span style="background-color: #e9edec; color: #606060; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, FreeMono, monospace; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.479999542236328px; text-align: justify;">6. And what camera do you use for blogging pictures?</span><br />

I like to shop and am very good at finding deals and finding stackable coupons.<br />

Finding the time to take pictures because I tend to get off of work when the sun is down.<br />
<span style="background-color: #e9edec; color: #606060; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, FreeMono, monospace; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.479999542236328px; text-align: justify;">9. Which one is your favorite post that you have written?</span><br />
Banana Republic trench coat<br />
<span style="background-color: #e9edec; color: #606060; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, FreeMono, monospace; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.479999542236328px; text-align: justify;">10. What did you learn through blogging that you didn’t know before?</span><br />

<br />
Hope you guys had a great weekend! In celebration of my 5 friends that got engaged in the past few months, I decided to do a wedding post and blog about some of my wedding DIY projects. Here is a sneak peak of some highlights. I will have to do separate posts on the wedding DIY projects and how to work with a wedding budget. So stay tuned! For those who have asked me who my blog photographer is, all credits go to my hubby ^.^ He took all the photos for me in the little free time he has to be supportive of my new hobby. I am the luckiest wife ever! (note: vendors listed above pictures and hyperlinks included)<br />

I have not gone shopping in a long time since I get off work when the mall is already closed. But, I was off night shift today and decided to stroll in Nordstrom for a quick 30min shopping break and found out they are having an anniversary sale (open to card holders only for 2 more days, then open to public). I came across some items that went straight to my wish list. Here they are...</div>

(Regular and petite - $78.90 from $119)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This reminds me of a burnt piece of paper but replacing the burnt away part with lace. So pretty! Debating if I should buy it though. It's so unique and gorgeous. But, I have so many pencil skirts already. Maybe if I don't forget about this skirt in a week, I'll go back and see if I'll buy it :)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
similar to <a href="http://www.stuartweitzman.com/products/5050/">Stuart Weitzman 5050 boots (RIGHT) , $635</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Difference: SW '5050' has a 19' shaft, 'Andora' has a 21' shaft</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So if you are shorter like me, the 5050 might be a better option. But, both are very similar and form fitting. Great alternative to the $635 boots! Love all time classic, black leather boots~</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
This is just a quick post because the code HOTOUT will expire soon. It's such a good deal to get quality Jcrew pants for $29.99 (if you are okay with colors like khaki and white). These arrived at my door step yesterday and I finally got a chance to try them on today. I am beyond pleased with the quality and cutting (especially for the low price tag!!!) I would say it is comparable to the Banana Sloan trousers. I bought both pair in 00p and it fits me like a glove. They are very versatile, and classic wardrobe staple. Can't wait to wear them when I start ambulatory care rotation. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I will post pictures of these pants on me in the near future.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
next formal blog post will be on wedding DIY to "blog celebrate" my friends' engagements! So excited and happy for them :) </div>

Hi everyone! After leaving for work in the dark and coming home when it's dark, it's quite refreshing to be in the sun on my one day off. I decided to wear this dress that has everything I like. It's yellow, pleated, it has polkadots, stripes, and tuxedo design. These are the things that tends to grab my attention in the mall and this dress has it all. This dress is from <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/default.aspx">eShakti</a>. The cool thing about <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/default.aspx">eShakti </a>is that they sell custom dresses. What that means is that you tailer make the dress to your measurements and height. In my opinion, it's great for people that don't fit the size chart and hate paying more to get it fitted. This dress is great for spring and summer. Toss on a tight sweater and stocking and wear it for winter :) </div>

July is a time when medical students register on ERAS and start applying to medical schools. Nervous, stressed, overwhelmed, maybe still studying for step 2, or took it but trying to not think about what you got wrong. You are not alone, everyone feels the same way. Since this is a fashion blog and I know some of my followers are medical students, I decided to do a post on interview attire. I once talked to a program director about what to wear and she told me the following.<br />
1. If you are a girl, do not wear a skirt<br />
2. Do not wear black<br />
3. You want to stand out, but don't wear colors like red (don't stand out in a bad way)<br />
The reasoning is this. Residency directors interview hundreds of students so you want to stand out. Majority of medical students will wear black, and most girls will wear skirts. So if you wear grey, you will stand out in a pool of black suits. Of course, how well you do on interview matters most. But, perhaps the initial impression will be your appearance.<br />

I personally like one button suit for petites like myself because it makes my torso look shorter, giving the illusion that my legs are longer. I find the quarter sleeves to be very fashionable but still appropriate for formal events or interviews.<br />

This is just a picture from J.crew website. I would not suggest anyone to wear a collar shirt with a black trim. It's a little too fashionable for interviews. I will stick with the plain collar shirt. I mainly wanted to show the suit and the color. I love grey, and love light heather grey even more. It's so chic and sleek. Great for summer, not too gloomy, not too serious but still professional. <br />
<br />
If you are a medical student reading this, I wish you the best of luck.<br />
<br />
Final advice to anyone going to an interview. Prepare, sleep, be honest, and just be yourself :) <br />
<br />
I wear 00p for the blazer and the pants. I will take pictures of me in this outfit in the near future. Inpatient ward has been rough. Sorry, I don't have pictures this week ~<br />
<br />
Also, I think this is such a cute Anthropologie hoodie.<br />

This hoodie runs small. xxsp was very slim fit on me. The ruffle gave the top a peplum look. I absolutely love it. Will show pics of top on me later :) I love wearing it casually with my scrub pants on call days, pair it with a pair of tights when I study in coffee shops. </div>

Ever feel like you are walking outside frying in the sun and once you sit down in a coffee shop, you freeze like a popsicle? I do. So I like having a thin jacket. For those nights with a cool breeze and really strong AC in coffee shops. I came across this military jacket at Anthropologie and I just love the fit and details. <br />

I've been playing with contrast in color. So I decided to go with a black tank with white lace tank overlay and crochet shorts. Of course I have to toss in a pair of nude wedges to elongate those legs! I love the drape of the lace top from Urban Outfitter. It was on sale back in early June. The high low drape is very elegant and chic. Great for layering.<br />

My head feels so light after I had 6 inches of hair chopped off. I'm so excited to show you guys this dress. I love how it accentuates my waist and makes my petite body look curvy. It's such a beautiful dress made with thick fabric that is flexible and stretchy so it's very easy to move and run around at work. It's so sheek and versatile! I can wear it under a lab coat for work, under a blazer at conferences and meetings, or toss on a sweater on top and turn it into a nice pencil skirt. Banana Republic does it again! This dress has the perfect cutting for a petite girl and the vertical line details help elongate my body. This dress is definitely a keeper for me.<br />

I absolutely love these shoes. They are SO comfortable. I can walk MILES in them with comfort. The leather is great for wide feet because it conforms to the shape of your feet. It's a wardrobe staple for me because I can wear these with jeans, shorts, skirts, and dresses. <br />

SPRING. FLORAL: ASTR Floral lace TopFor those that follow me on instagram, I posted this outfit before. But, I didn't have a chance to blog about it till now! I really love this floral top for summer. I love the lace detail on the V neck that gives a semi-off shoulder look without being too revealing. The material is very thin and breathable. But, it is not transparent because of the floral pattern. The top covers your skin from direct sunlight without making you too hot. I also love the high-low draping design. Goes great with denim or linen shorts for summer. Very ladylike and sheek look~<br />
