HyunYang (26) is my cousin.
She recently passed the bar exam and visited New York as a gift for herself. Although she is not an international student, I thought it would be interesting to interview her because I would know more exaggerated image of New York City in a perspective of a tourist.
I asked HyunYang to send me three pictures : 1. Picture of her "imagined New York Look" 2. Picture of her "Actual New York Look" 3. Picture of her "Seoul Look" and the description&explanation pertaining to each picture.
1. Off shoulder dress with chic black high heels and jewelry is her imagined New York Look. HyunYang says her image of New York is heavily influenced by the TV series Sex and the City. For her, New York City was glam and success. It was also why she picked New York as
her gift to herself after her first success as an adult.
The suitcase she brought to New York this January was filled with mini skirts, heeled boots and jackets - they were alternatives to her ideal glam look.
2. But even her alternative new york look - mini skirts with winter blazers were too thin for the winter. So she had to cover her thin silhouette with thick parka that she bought in SOHO. On her first day in the City, she wore the thick parka with red pumps and leopard scarf. Although her feet was freezing and the leopard scarf was very thin, she wore it through the winds of the streets. And as a result, she was photographed by a fashion blogger on the street!
3. In Seoul, she "dress-up" her imagined new york look which is rather one-toned by matching detailed and cute accessories and bags.
