Sweet December 2012 Scans

I was going through some scans from the Sweet December issue and found some inspo outfits for spring that I'd like to try. I always like to set my mind out for what I'm going to buy next season with the aim for trying out different and new styles that I have not in the past. When it comes to fashion, I'm all about embracing new ideas and looks for outfits. I want to try as many different looks as possible while still remaining true to my original style. It's just that I like to see myself grow and transform as I mature and get older. 

I'm obviously still not over my love for leather skirts. It's on my "must get" item for the spring as well as getting a nice leather jacket. Also, I can't seem to stop my obsession with fake collar necklaces. Peplum skirts is also something I'd like to try for the spring as I don't have any in my current wardrobe. I used to think Peplum skirts are more for older and mature women but now I'm seeing that they can be quite suitable on much younger women who are in their early to mid 20's.  

Floral print pants and skirts have been a big hit in the past recent years. I'm beginning to notice them more in stores now and developing a love for them. I'd like to get a few pattern print skinny pants for the spring to change up my usual look of wearing skirts all the time. After all it has been years since I last bought a new pair of pants although I think I'd most likely being wearing my skirts and dresses more, it's nice to have options for a change sometimes. lol.

Japan and its cat obsession. I want the cat pearls ear headband, it's so cute! Another one of my "must get" items for 2013.

 And I will forever have a love for lace dresses! I just can't ever get enough of them. 

Leather Jackets and Skirts

I'm falling into a new craze for leather jackets and skirts. I keep seeing them everywhere in Forever21. Leather jackets, skirts, leggings and pants and now I see them all over Japanese fashion magazines. I can't help myself from refraining to buy some leather skirts, jackets and maybe even some leather pants. I also think it has some influence from blogger Tricia Gosingtian as well, as she always seem to be wearing leather skirts with knit tops and graphic tees. It's like her signature outwear of all time. 

I saw so many different styles of leather jackets at Forever21 earlier this week but I couldn't decide which style I want to get. But after going through some scans from Popteen and Seventeen, I think I know which style to get now. Although I don't think I could wear these outfits during the winter here in Canada. I mean who am I kidding, who would wear outfits like these when it's like -10 or -20 degrees celsius outside?! It's only in Japan where you'd see people rocking such cute kawaii outfits like these in the freezing cold weather. That's something I really admire about Japanese people and their love for fashion. It does not matter what the weather is outside, hot or cold, it won't stop them from dressing and looking cute. I sadly could not make such sacrifices for fashion even if I do love fashion with all my heart. I'd still really rather dress warm and stay cozy! XD But I think these cute outfits would be wearable for warmer weather comes close to March and April during the spring here in Toronto. Winter isn't even over yet and I'm already thinking about what to wear for spring. Talk about thinking about fashion a season ahead, lol. It'd be nice to pair a leather jacket with some pretty and cute onepiece floral/pattern dresses for spring. Oh, I can't wait for spring to come again!

Some inspiration outfits that I collected from the magazine Popteen and Seventeen in the December 2012 issue.
