People of the Internet, you knew I couldn’t get through this Halloween season without creating another skeleton look, right? My entire life is peppered with skeletons year-round. How could you think I wouldn’t celebrate to the extent of my abilities during a time in which skeletons are extra acceptable?
This look is a little different than my look last year, but I’m not sure which I like better! What do you think?
I feel like in every year of my life, at least for the past few years, I’ve had a certain outfit or look that encompasses my personal style. Like, if I were a cartoon character, that would be the outfit I’m in for most of the series. This season, it’s been my snakeskin top and overall dress.
I stumbled upon these lovely pieces at H&M when I wasn’t even looking for them. I love a good snakeskin print, but I didn’t feel the need to buy any snakeskin until I saw this top. The cut and feel were perfect for me. Perfect to go under the black overall dress that was staring me down from across the store.
I don’t necessarily try to be up on the trends like most kids nowadays, but the overall dress had been calling to me for a while. I bought a blue zip-up denim dress from Forever 21, but it wasn’t perfect. This one was.
While we gazed at each other lovingly, I pictured all the shirts I’d wear under it, how cute it would look with tights. And before I knew it, she was in my closet.
As I had predicted, the snakeskin top and overall dress combo was a vibe. The first time I wore it out, I described myself as “Goth Fran Drescher,” which is honestly such a mood and the energy I want for the rest of my life.
Of course, I wear the top and dress separately sometimes, but they’re better together. A true match made in H(&M)eaven.
earrings from SweetCreatureShoppe
My amazing perfect wonderful beautiful talented cousin just started an Etsy shop! This is a HUGE deal, guys. She’s been wearing the sickest handmade earrings to family events for years and finally decided to start selling them. All her designs are so unique and kitschy. I bought two pairs (so far): a pair of mismatched purple gems, and the cutest Barbie shoe earrings in the world!
I’ve literally always been a Barbie girl. And a Bratz girl. And a Polly Pocket girl. And an American Girl girl (I just really like dolls, okay?). So I decided to create a hot pink look to go with these hot pink earrings, and I love the way it turned out!
I used white liquid eyeliner by Danessa Myricks Beauty as a base, then colored it in with a hot pink shade from James Charles’ Morphe palette (both things that I’ll be reviewing soon!). To match, I wore some hot pink lipgloss by Almay. I felt like a literal Barbie, and I loved every second of it. I was about to cry while taking this makeup off before I went to bed.
So, if you’re in the market for some new earrings (or even if you’re not), check out SweetCreatureShoppe on Etsy! And check out my other cousin’s shop on Instagram, the Thrift Gift Shoppe! She just made some tie-dye and bleach masks and I’m obsessed. My cousins are just kicking ass, and I am so here for it.
Happy August, my lovelies! I’ll spare you my surprise about how slowly yet quickly July went by. Time is irrelevant in the age of Coronavirus.
When I posted this look to my Instagram, I referred to it as “chill-but-not-chill.” It consists of joggers, a shirt, and sneakers. Sounds pretty chill and casual, right? But I elevated things with my makeup and the fact that I wore a snakeskin shirt. I don’t necessarily categorize snakeskin as casual. In my eyes, it’s pretty badass. Not saying that you can’t be both casual and badass, but you know what I mean. At least I hope so.
Anyway, the inspiration from this outfit came from trying to decide what to wear to dinner at a fancy restaurant. I settled on “glam pajamas,” and thus this look was born. It quickly became one of my favorites.
The only downside is that these joggers are quite temperamental. I fell in love with them and used to wear them all the time until I shrunk them in the dryer. Sad. So I bought another pair and managed to shrink those, even though I air dried them.
So what I’m trying to say is, I love feeling comfortable while looking really cute, and if you know of any joggers that won’t shrink, please send them my way.
