And since it's Thursday, I wanted to do a special "Awkward and Awesome" post a la Sydney at The Daybook. Here's my list:
-
Awkward:
• Going out for sushi and smelling soy sauce for the rest of the nice cause your hair accidentally dipped into the soy sauce/wasabi bowl. *oops*
• Running out of napkins and paper towels in the house and having to use a bath towel to wipe my mouth at dinner.
• Walking into my boss’s office only to find that he’s sitting there with his shoes off. Um, should I come back later?
Awesome:
• My computer tower doubling as both a footrest and a space heater. Nothing beats having warm feet!
• Getting a $500 discount on my wedding pictures. I’m an expert negotiator. Thank you, Asian genes. :)
• Just realizing that I have Monday off from work cause it’s MLK Day!! Three-day weekend here I come!
P.S. Please nominate cute and little for "Best New Weblog" for the 2011 Bloggies Awards! It would mean the world to me.

amazing!
Very nice! The scarf added a nice touch to the outfit.
I had a similar problem this morning, had an outfit in my mind last night but ended up wearning something totally different. :)
Love those nude pumps!
The scarf is lovely! The pattern is really cute! Hebei see that your makeup matches as well <3 Are the f21 heels comfortable?
An awkward moment? Most likely my boyfriend telling me that I smell like tempura for the rest of the evening! I work at a sushi joint part-time, and for some reason I smell like tempura! Haha we don't even serve that much tempura or fried specialty dishes either!
Awesome moment? Finally finding the blue watch my boyfriend searched high and low for! It's always awesome and surprising whenever I find something that's been sold out for a while. :D
@Christina unfortunately the F21 shoes aren't the most comfortable shoes if you plan on walking a lot. for me, since i have a desk job and sit for most of the day, it doesn't bother me. i have, however, spent 4 hours shopping in these shoes and i was actually ok. but any more than 4 hours and my feet would've been killing me! :)
LOVE the scarf on you sweetie! its a great pop of color!! and yes, thank goodness for good asian bargaining genes! :)
You are so lucky. My Grandma bought me a scarf for Christmeas too, but mine is HIDEOUS. Love the outfit x

I hate mornings where I try on five or six things and don't like any of them. However, it usually turns out that the resulting outfit becomes on of my faves. Love the scarf!
I also use my CPU as a space heater. hahaha.
OMG. I totally forgot about MLK day. Yay! 3 day weekend!!!!!
Love the scarf! Your grandma has good taste :)
You look amazing. That purple is so pretty against your coloring.
No Guilt Fashion
oh i love your JEANS, so pretty. the only place I can find jeans is at Rue21 because of the length lol.
The first thing I noticed when I saw you in the outfit was the scarf.
I really like the colors against that beautiful blue top
The pinks and lavender's make your skin glow!
Your outfit is beautiful and the scarf is the perfect accessory! I also love the photo of you kicking your foot. It's adorable.
Awkward: Smelling like SUBWAY after having a sandwich for lunch. Their bread lingers. Weird.
Awesome: Just found someone else who uses the computer tower under their desk for the SAME REASONS as me! :)
Good job Grandma! That scarf is stunning and those shoes, ouch HOT!
500 dollars off? That is awesome.
You're really working that scarf too. Makes me want one just like it, even though it's not really my style.
I love the color of your sweater, and the scarf is really pretty! Nice job at getting the discount on your pictures, I totally understand how expensive they can be!
that shade of purple is really pretty, and i love how you paired the sweater with a scarf. the nude shoes are also a nice touch :)
simple and cute! and Wow! you are a master bargainer!
I'm totally in love with the scarf!! I need to pull mine out too, i think besides from belt, scarf is the most awesome accessories to pop out an outfit color.
And I do the same thing too with my computer, it work as space heater for me lol I just love desk job

Oh and I nominated both you and myself. : )
I have that BR sweater but you style it much better (and you look better in it in general)! I love it with the scarf - you give me so many ideas :)
Lovely and delicate scarf. Your grandma has great eyes for fashion :D
The scarf is a perfectly light & airy addition to your amazing outfit! You look so pulled together and fabulous!!
I like how the mix of soft colors of the scarf contrasts against the vibrant blue of your sweater! And I love unexpected days off... I wish it was a holiday for me too!
YAY to 3 day weekend and $500. You hard work definitely pays off! :)
Just Better Together is having a $25 gift certificate giveaway!
I really like the pop of the scarf. I love wearing things my grandmother gives me. It's a weird feeling I just can't explain.
My Heart Blogged
@My Heart Blogged I'm the same way! Makes me feel all loved. :)
Love the scarf! I have bandana that I want to wear that way but I'm hopeless at folding it to look right and stay on my neck. Teach me your ways!
Great outfit! The scarf was perfect with the sweater, which I btw love the colour of! Good choice =)
The scarf is so pretty and adds to the outfit very nicely:)
Just so stylish aren't you Kileen? Heheh
And thanks a million for letting me know the setting...I will try it out and let ya know! You are so awesome!!
the scarf is the perfect touch!
I actually just bought a footrest that has a built in heater. I LOVE it!
Haha your awkward comments are funny!
Nothing like running into the boss and having an authentic awkward moment.
