puffy cheeks


I'm gonna have to lose some weight because my chipmunk cheeks are getting out of control.
Could you imagine what I would look like if I got my molars out or something like that??

easter outfit

$15 boutique dress and $6 thrifted blue blazer.
This blazer is huge and I didn't want to buy it but my cousin convinced me, this is actually my first time wearing it and it's been sitting in my closet for a while. I didn't even want to wear it but it was the first thing I grabbed as I was rushing out of the house when I figured out it was sprinkling. I don't know I think it fits really weird, it's a size 14. I love the gold button but I think I might have to pair it with something different to see if I actually like it.

shoe lust

I've been craving some new shoes soooo bad.
Particularly wedges. I can't wait to have a closet full of shoes.
It will happen some day.
I can't believe shoes used to be the last thing on my mind,
Ive only recently started up my shoe collection and it needs to be fed!

a couple updates and some fails.

My laptop is fixed and running again, so I should be back to my normal postings! So I was all for the 30 for 30 I really was, and I really tried. But then I got sick for like 3 days and stayed in pjs all day and then I just had a sudden urge to wear something that wasn't on my 30 list. So I cheated. I wore something outside of my 30 for 30 outfit list and then I was gonna allow that to slide but I stepped into a thrift store and I couldn't help up break another rule and I bought a fabulous silk shirt for $4. It was $4!! I couldn't not buy it, right? That would be insane. So I broke a couple rules and then it all went downhill from there. Sooooooo....I have failed the 30 for 30 challenge and I have given up. Because I am a quitter. BUT it's ok because I am more in love with my closet after limiting myself to certain clothes. Anyway! Here are some outfits from the last week:

 
thrifted sheer black blouse (it looks more sheer in person), DIY bralet, jeans, ANGL belt
thrifted sheer black blouse worn over a black tank top, thrifted high waisted shorts 
forever21 dress, thrifted bag, love culture ring

That was the last of my 30 for 30 outfits. It was really hot last weekend and I didn't fee like wearing anything on my list so I wore this thrifted dress (:

30 for 30: days 7-10

I think one of the biggest motivators for doing this challenge is to actually get dressed. As much as I love fashion, I spend most of my time in sleeping clothes. This semester I've barely been in school. I have school monday - wednesday and half the time its for no more than a couple hours. Most of the time I throw something quick on and then sink back into pjs as soon as I get home from school. This challenge is actually forcing me to get dressed even when I know I'm gonna send the day at home.
 
outfit #7 : forever21 floral dress, black scarf worn as skirt
 - I didn't go anywhere this day but I spent the day playing with my scarf and trying to figure out different ways it can be worn and it can be worn a TON of different ways.

outfit #8 : altered off the should sweater, jeans, Charlotte Russe over the knee boots.
- This is one of those "throw something on because you only have one class for the day" outfits. I want to try to make my outfits fabulous everyday, but I am very lazy

outfit #9 : thrifted blazer, cheetah scarf, gray tank, black leggings, lace up boots
- I lounged around the house saturday in the tank and leggings and threw on the scarf and blazer for dinner. I hate how the outfit looks in these pictures. I swear it looked a lot better in person hahaha

outfit #10 : thrifted blouse, gray tank, angl belt, wet seal skirt, forever21 ankle boots, thrifted purse
 - I LOVE this outfit. Funny this is, I spent like an hour trying to figure out what to wear and I almost was about to quit and give myself a "cheat day"so I could wear one of my non 30 for 30 clothes but somehow this just came together. It was suer comfortable and this is one of my favorite skirts of all time. I think it was like $10 at wet seal. I hardely ever wear it but when I do, I love it.

handmade bow (: somehow I always forget to leave space in the back for a bobby pin so I have to hold it together with a hair tie.

I also now have an iphone and find it alot easier to take quick outfit snapshots.

30 for 30: days 4-6







outfit#4 -black button up tank, ANGL belt, black leggings, over the knee boots (charolette russe)
outfit#5 - striped sweater (thrifted/altered) denim jeans
outfit #6 - black button up tank, leopard scarf (worn as belt) , denim jeans, lace up boots (charolette russe)

So its no secret that I love this button up tank, but I never realized how much I wear it until I looked back at these pictures. I didn't even noticed when I was getting dressed that out of six days, I've worn this tank three times. It's just so easy to put on. But ow I've crossed it off my 30 for 30 list for now so I don't wear it again hahaha, These outfits are really casual, stuff I usually wear to school exept that I only went to school once this week (wearing the last outfit) because I am a lazy college student. The other outfts were worn lounging around the house.

30 for 30: days 1-3


If you follow my tumblr you know that my laptop isn't working which is why I haven't posted any 30 for 30 outfits. But I have been taking pictures everyday so don't worry! These are my first three outfits and I actually love each of them a lot.

Outfit#1 - black button up tank from a small boutique, high waisted shorts (thrifted)
Outfit#2 - Slouchy gray shirt from a small boutique, orange maxi dress (thrifted) ANGL belt
Outfit#3 - black blazer (thrifted), green dress (thrifted), black tights, boots from my mom's closet

 
 This outfit was sooo comfy. Like I literally wanted to prance around in it all day. I love high wasited shorts. I feel like they hide your whole stomach. Of course my sister pointed out that my butt looks super weird in them, oh well!
 
 This outfit looked a lot better in person. And I loooooooove it. The dress is a strapless maxi dress that I thrifted for like $2? Super steal. I actually bought it with the intention of cutting it into a short mini dress but then the whole maxi skirt/dress trend came around and I decied to try it out as is. And now I want to buy every maxi dress I see. It's sooo comfortable! I felt so breezy and bohemian, it was great.
 


I really liked this outfit as well - another outfit that I think looks better in person. I wear this thrifted blazer all the time but this is actually the first time I wore this dress. Like the previous outfit, I bought this dress with the intention of altering it into a shorter dress but I actually like the length that it's at. With a belt I can make it a little shorter anyway. What I don't like this the neckline and the sleeves but with a blaxer you can't even tell. I'm also wearing heeled boots which I loved. I rarely ever wear heels because I'm 5'7 already but I love towering over people so I stole them from my mom's closet and declared them mine. Gonna try to wear them more often so that I can actually get used to it and not be stumbling around like an idiot. Also wore my hair in a fish tail braid (:
