DRAMA QUEEN : how you can do the layers

so i made a set in polyvore which i stopped doing ages ago!! to kinda show ya how to layer like lee bo young in god's gift 14 days.
yay.


  • i used the floral bustier to make it a bit feminine. i want this look to be a bit more balanced
  • one rule of the thumb when layering, the plaid is like timeless.  
  • the white shirt inside act as a canvas, usually building up the colours.
  • since the color are not so varied, plum handbag will make this look more polished (manly)
  • galaxy shoes?!! yeah, hve fun with ya look ^^ 
  • plum lips baby !! i love wearing dark lips cuz uhhh... well vampy is the new sexy

so these are my tips. and yeah denim are so in these days, esp distressed one <3 it makes the whole outfit feel more relaxed and well we don't want to look overdone too much  right.

my current plum/purple lipstick im using now is revlon colorburst matte balm : shameless
i love love love it xD

will do a review later about this lip balm x3

DRAMA QUEEN : lee bo young

well i have been a hardcore fan of the drama god's gift 14 days.
well the awesome plot really drew me in and obviously the fact that the actress is lee bo young, it's rather promising. personally i love her acting! she has this bitchy/strong-ish kind of vibe.
not the typical cute, innocent and personally rather naive type of acting where its always "smiling but broken inside" kinda thing.
her acting felt real! i mean she ugly-cries people!! (though she still look like a goddess)

but baro was like the bamm!! factor i guess muehehehe since im a b1a4 stan and seriously i KENNOT keep a straight face seeing him stutter! he's a beast! at rapping n acting dumb <3
but back to lee bo young!


wow i gotta say i love love love her style in this drama!
its really the the big sluggish layers that makes all the difference haha she looks like one tasty layer cake each time this lady sets out to find the killer! but this technique is actually very refined....

too much layers n you'll definitely look bulky, too little just becomes why bother?! 
so what i noticed here is that they are playing with a lot of neutral tones.
grey
olive/military green
brown (definitely)
navy
etc

now these are the colors that works amazing when layered together! from my point of view, never...
I MEAN NEVER go with bright colors if you want to do some serious layering! you'll look like this..




 seriously i have seen this before! this person looked like a walking popsicle!
and apparently, she does not look tasty
nu uh~~








now this is another look i realllllyy~~~~~~ love! screen caped from le drama, soohyun looks amazing!

what an annoyingly cute couple (i don't like this guy -_-) 

but she does rock the knitted-esque blazer amazingly. apparently its kind of her signature in this drama, the costume designer prob wanted to make soo hyun's rugged character a whole cuz i see bo young wearing lots of these androgynous outfit.
boyfriend style or oversized <3

she also plays a lot with scarves, since the shooting started somewhere around the end winter, practically her outfits were probably intended to be warm. but its nice how they incorporated these accessories, that at the same time still very much androgynous. seriously i never saw this lady with a bracelet or a necklace.
