Matcha always 🍵 *cheers*

I was trying to pick a favorite look before commenting and I’m not sure I can. Maybe the one with the trucker hat? Or the jeans snapped up?? *chefs kiss* would love to see you do this with other items!!

Yes the hat look, right? I love that one too. I’m having dinner in SM tonight and trying to think if it is cold enough to warrant shoes with the lace dress look. It might be especially by 7pm.

It's been so hot today but by evening time, and considering they always blast AC indoors, I think you're probably safe. I say go for it. And take selfies ;)

Your creativity and energy knows no bounds!

The last outfit looks like a cleansing sorbet course (which is my happy place) after a gourmet intricate course in a Michelin starred restaurant!

Asta's avatar

Omg Susan that is such a nice comment. Thank you so much. That is EXACTLY how I felt too.

Asta's avatar

Truly entertaining piece. It was like watching good drama. All I needed to add to the experience was popcorn and a drink. Better than Netflix.

Asta's avatar

Omg thank you thank you. I strive to create drama always :P

Taking notes! Especially about being intentional and really committing. I’m in Sydney and it’s getting cooler so you will be rocking the boots!!

Asta's avatar

Yesss, commit or quit, t hat’s the motto. And I’ll definitely be bringing the boots to Sydney… they deserve their moment.

Can you just start a fashion magazine? Breath of fresh air, you. Love the jeans looks the most and the all black tucked in and out, but also all of them. And I’m also obsessed with the tibi nylon button down you wore in your video last week. This was all so so so good.

Asta's avatar

This made my day. thank you! So glad the jeans and tucked in/tucked out look spoke to you (I love a good contradiction). And yes, that Tibi nylon shirt is such an under-the-radar star. Appreciate you reading and commenting. it seriously means a lot!

Danielle's avatar

I found a purple one (! loooove purple) second hand and grabbed it so fast

Asta's avatar

Omg I LOVE that purple! Great find

Joy's avatar

Love reading your process! Especially how an outfit is technically interesting but might not feel like you, until you tweak it.

Asta's avatar

Yes! That’s the exact feeling I’m always chasing when something’s almost there, but just needs that one little shift to feel like me. Love that that part resonated!

Angela Jones's avatar

Yeah, they ARE weird and yet they DO work… words fail me.

Asta's avatar

Right? So fun. I might wear them out to dinner tonight after all that playtime this morning

Angela Jones's avatar

Love em with the Pilates outfit, and with the slip dress, and with the oversized white T… props because I’m sure styling and photographing all those outfits took you a minute.

Also, great Zara pose 😉

IT TOOK FOREVER! Thank you so much for the encouragement.
