Throw on your boyfriends tee and just be happy!


 Almost immediately after I posted my wish list blog saying that I wanted a misfits shirt my boyfriend told me that he had an old one i could have. Am I the luckiest girl ever or what?!
 

I really like this outfit because I don't wear full on black much but I felt like the combination was intriguing enough to wear with the little pops of white and stone in it!

Misfits band tee / black thrifted leather vest / DKNY leggings / white converse / black thrifted rosary / green target stone necklace

 
 

 I also really like to smirk I guess... Well I hope you enjoyed this post! xo

Would you like to go on a date with me?

Yesterday I went thrifting with a friend of mine who shall not be named, but she's adorable. She told me that she loved my style blog (aw how cute! maybe I'll post more knowing someone actually reads it! Ahem!) and that she needed help throwing together for a kind of sort of date with a very attractive young man.

I told her that she would want to wear something somewhat casual so it doesn't look like she's trying too hard to make herself dolled up but of course it should be cute.




I sent her off in an outfit that looked similar to this with the dress a little bit less fancy. The big thing about picking out a date for an outfit though is that it should reflect who you are, not what your mom or friends thinks that you should be, but who you are. With your clothing it shows a lot about yourself and if you're showing them someone else then you might as well be wearing a Halloween costume.

My advice for dressing to a not-so-formal date is to think of yourself on your best day. What do you look like? Now be that person!

Hope you enjoyed this post! xo

Gimme gimme gimme everything I want

Since I like to be honest on here I'll say that I've acquired just about everything from my last "wish list" post that I truly believed I'd wear or at least something close so of course i decided to make a new one.



I need to get ready for summer because I plan for this to be the best summer ever since it's my last one where I'm sort of in high school and I plan to look cute every single day this summer.

From left to right (mostly general products and not specifics): flowy floral skirts / brown Minnetonka Moccasins since mine were stolen by my oh so loving cousin / sparkly nailpolish / tribal scarves / feather headband or necklace thing (i'll probably end up making my own in an attempt to save money) / burnt orange knitted cardigan / flowy bright hippie shirts / semi-cropped colored sheer tanks / cat tapestry Jeffrey Campbell damsel's / aviator sunglasses

What kind of stuff are you guys looking to buy?! Hope you enjoyed this post! xo

If prom's your thing then this is for you

i know that a lot of my readers are teenagers and are probably still going to school and i know that a lot of teenagers go to prom at least once in their life so i figured i'd write one about what you could wear to prom!

there are lots of different ways that you can go when it comes to prom dresses.


From left to right:
  • there is a black, short,  slightly patterned, and bedazzled dress to go with a jewel statement ring, and a bright pop of color for the shoes.
  • a slight mullet red dress to go with cheetah print wedges (i'm obsessed with red & cheetah together) and some simple black jewel earrings.
  • it's a long, green and yellow, patterned and lightly bedazzled dress with plain black heels and a simple thick bracelet that matches the light colors in the dress.
I'd give the specific brands on these but most are extremely expensive and are basically just ideas for what you could pair together. I hope this helps if you were looking for help and you enjoyed this post! xo

I like to repeat myself I guess

So this is going to be a little bit less of a picture blog post and more of a typing thing so prepare yourself! I went to a concert on Saturday evening, and I'm never completely sure of how to put bands into specific genres so I looked it up and I mainly went to see the bands Sleeping With Sirens, Conditions, and Secrets which are all listed under the genre of "hardcore", so take that as you may. While there I saw a lot of trends that I didn't find appealing to my own eyes and I was wondering what you guys thought about that. I also thought I'd just give you a little do/don't list for smaller, crowded, and non ventilated venues.

look 1:
Now this is a little bit less extreme than what I was seeing but it was something along the lines of this very graphic, very dark or very neon, and overly just childish look. A lot of the girls that I would see in line with this attire would later be seen without their shirt on and just a bra, or with their shirt pulled up to reveal their belly buttons. Generally this is called the "scene" look, which I thought died a long time ago but apparently not. So my question is, do you like this look and why or why not?

look 2:
This is another thing that i was seeing a lot of, and don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with a tasteful body con dress... When you wear it correctly. If you, your friends, or the people around you are worried about your boobs or your vagina hanging out then that's a problem. And let me just say that there is a time and place for this look, but I would not recommend it for a concert where there will certainly be pushing and people pressed up against you unless you stand by the bar all night.

look 3:
I couldn't find any photos of this look, but it was a "layered lace" look where they would be wearing a lace top with a lace skirt, or a lace skirt and tights or whatever it was. I personally find that to be so extremely hard on the eyes and obnoxious looking, but if you like that then please speak up and tell me why and how you would wear it!

now to the do's and don'ts:

do: Wear something you feel physically comfortable in
Unless you have been in heels since the day you were born wear flats
If you are carrying any sort of bag bring a light sweater in your purse for after
A pony for if you get sweaty
Light make-up that will not smear if it gets wet

don't:
Sleeveless clothing
Short dresses/skirts
Anything you feel warm in while just standing outside
Open toed shoes

I just felt the need to point this stuff out and ask if these are truly appealing looks in humanity, sorry if you are offended but it's an opinion. Hope you enjoyed this post! xo

Just one of the girls

So this was from one of my last few days working at buffalo exchange and as I said in my last post I wasn't able to post the photo for a while because of computer problems, but here you go!

Very soon after buying this skirt I actually cut out the inside skirt that worked as a slip so that I can have a sheer skirt to wear with my black granny panties i'm pretending are bloomers or with the slip under.


This outfit didn't take a lot of effort or accessories to make it successful. It was also very charming yet comfortable which i love!

black guns and roses crop top / black leather vest / Forever 21 salmon colored maxi skirt / Soda black faux TOMS / everyday rings / Revlon fire & ice lipstick


I hope you enjoyed this look, and I'll be posting a lot more very soon! xo
