Where I’m coming from
Before I ever posted outfit ideas online, I spent seven years as a fashion editor in China. I specialized in makeovers. Not the dramatic TV kind. The kind where you learn fast what actually changes someone’s look. Proportion. Color. Fabric. Confidence.
Later I moved to the US with my husband. I worked in fashion here too, on the corporate side of a fast fashion company. I don’t name past employers out of respect for confidentiality. But I learned a lot about how the industry works behind the scenes.
Ok the honest part: learning American style wasn’t instant.
When I first got here, I felt so out of sync. The dress codes were different. The “rules” were different. Even what people considered “too dressed up” was totally different from what I was used to.
So I did what fashion people do. I watched. I tested outfits. I paid attention to what women actually wore. To the office. To brunch. To school pickup. On weekends. What looked current. What looked dated. What looked effortless.
Eventually I found my groove. American style is less about looking perfect. It’s more about looking confident and right for whatever your day looks like.
That learning curve is a big reason I started this blog. I know how frustrating it is to stand in front of a full closet and think, “I have nothing to wear.” Been there. Many times.
Why I’m a full time blogger now
In 2024, I developed a health condition called idiopathic facial nerve palsy. I needed to step back from my job, focus on treatment and recovery. So I resigned and went back to China for medical care.
Fashion has always been my work. But it’s also my comfort. Blogging lets me keep doing what I love at a pace that supports my health. Honestly? It’s been one of the best things to come out of a really hard time.
