Up Here Down Here is dedicated to those of you that need a little help finding fashion that fits. Whether you're tall or short, big or small, we're here to help.
Meet the authors: Hayon Chun stands “Up Here” at 5 ft 9in and Monica Nguyen stands “Down Here” at 5 feet tall. We both graduated from the University of Southern California and have a shared interest for fashion. This blog was started as a means for us to share our experiences and challenges faced while building a wardrobe of pieces that not only fit but also flatters our very different figures.
Monica lived in Los Angeles for four years but currently resides in Manhattan. Outside of blogging, Monica loves creating infographics and is pursuing her masters degree in communication at Columbia University.
Hayon currently resides in the O.C. area of Southern California. Outside of blogging, she tutors and has a temporary tattoo business called Spirit Ink.
Fit and sizing reference: We make every effort to disclose the true fit and sizing information for items shown on this blog, as well as any alterations made. However for a basic reference:
