This is another look I styled for EA$Y MONEY CLOTHING wearing their dope WHITE BEANIE.
Unlike the first look, the second look is all about a fun and playful look and being more street-fashion inspired. I purposely managed to put everything together in black and white because that's the EASY MONEY statement style, yet I added a dark purple color to my feet, so I could create 'my' style. Like I mentioned, this outfit is all about fun and playful. Then both Urban Outfitters Bowie Tour pullover sweatshirt and Kesh x American Apparel bodycon dress which I wore as a skirt this time really do a great job for that. If either of them were just a simple and plain garment, it wouldn't have been as amusing as this look. Agree? To emphasize the vibe even more, I put on patterned tights gifted from my mom (Thanks mom! <3 ), and I roughly braided my hair after I curled it.

When it came to choose an outer and bag, I unhesitantly picked this fur coat and fur bag to match up. I am very pleased that the look ended up being glammed up thanks to them.

Speaking of the title of today's post, isn't it such a great, strong, inspiring quote? It is one of my favorite quotes that pump me up all the time. Life is not always easy. Everyone knows that. And personally, I believe that difficult life is much more interesting and valuable and worth living for. My life in America for the last 5 years apart from my family and my old friends has been really tough and harsh. I frequently wished it would have been easier, and often though about giving up and going home. On top of that, I've encountered uncountable difficulties and problems that made me super depressed and discouraged. However, I've always fought against them because you gotta work hard for something you want to gain; to me it has always been DREAMS. I can confidently say this: without obstacles and unpleasant times, your life would be tedious. Life is like a diamond. The harder you strive, the shinier your life will be. When looking back these 5 years, all I can think of is how stronger and more appreciative I have become thanks to my difficult times. Life goes on no matter what happens, and you must work hard or harder to get something worthwhile in your life.

Happy Friday ♥

I'd always wanted to own a striped item; they are very in vogue and great items to make a look stylish and bold. However, I hadn't been able to find any that really caught my eyes. So when I ran into this perfect and very fun (because of its design) striped shirt from Forever 21, I fell in love with it in a second and purchased it right away without looking at the price and trying it on, which was totally rare for me! It's super eye-catchy, trendy, and versatile! I love it so much!
One of the amazing things about styling is that I can create totally different looks and bring out contrasting feelings from the same garment. I just have to change clothes, hairstyle, accessories, or whatever. That's what I love about styling at the most!  So, I decided to make three completely different outfits using one of the hottest trends this summer: STRIPES, and I believe this shirt could be an excellent item for that!!!
For my first striped shirt look, I wanted to achieve a cute, girly look, so I could go shopping with my girl friends, then go out for dinner at my boyfriend afterwords.
 I paired it with some feminine elements, such as the headband and skirt, to create a lovely look. To finalize this look, I accented it with a fresh, yellow colored bag to express the vibe of summer.


Hope you like/love my first look of striped shirt! Stay tuned for the next two looks!
