Milk Maid Braids and Navy Brigads-fotd and ootd (June 14, 2013)

Dress and belt: Torrid Shoes:Target Earrings: Forever 21

When I saw this dress at Torrid I rushed into the dressing room to try it on. It draped across my hills and valleys in the most flattering way. The lush navy color complemented my fair skin without making me look like a walking corpse. Plus there is nothing like lace to make you feel like a lady. I paired it with my favorite spiky earrings and the perfect pair of studded pointed flats that matched the belt wonderfully.

What I used:

Eyes-
Wet n Wild primer
Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Biege
Darling Girl eyeshadow in Witch and Famous (Discontinued sadly but used in the crease.)
Darling Girl eyeshadow in Evil Empire (Patted on the lid with a damp brush.)
Darling Girl eyeshadow in Taupe ala Mode (Used to smoke out the outer corner and add some sparkles!)
Random ivory (Used to highlight.)
Eyeliner of course
Mascara

lips-
Darling Girl Kiss Off Color Rich Lip Balm in Love is an Act (From the Hunger Games collection also discontinued. ):)

This time last year I had maybe one or two dresses with only a little bit of confidence. Looking through plus sized fashion blogs have helped me gain a sense of fashion as well as some confidence in myself. I've been dressing much nicer lately, in fact I haven't worn a tee-shirt in weeks! (Except for my Star Trek Voyager shirt because hello Janeway is awesome.)

Baby Bat Goes Off the Deep End-FOTD and OOTD (June 4, 2013)

In the past my curvy frame has kept me from exploring fashion but now that the world of plus size fashion has expanded so has my closet. This shirt is one of my favorites, flowy and goth-esque, I feel tough yet cute when I wear it. It looks perfect with a pair of skinny jeans but even better with a bandage skirt. The weather was really hot last week but this week it's turned to a cool sixty degrees, thus the tights. I usually wear a subtler eye when I wear such a heavy print though polymorph by femme fatale was just calling to me.

What I wore:

Top and cami: Dots
Skirt,tights, second earrings and ring: Forever 21
Boots and angel earrings: Target

Eyes-
Wet n Wild Primer
Maybelline Color Tattoo Barely Biege and Blue Paradise
Femme Fatale cosmetics eyeshadow in Polymorph (Patted on zee lid.)
Urban Decay eyeshadow in Deep End(Placed into the crease with a small brush then blended with a fluffy one.)
Urban Decay eyeshadow in Sellout (Used to highlight all over.)
Physicians Formula Eyeliner pen
Nyx glide on pencil in White
Mascara

Lips-
Etude Lipstick in Idk but this lippie is awesome God I wish I knew the shade

Please excuse my terrible posing! I'm sure I look like a sullen teen whose camera turned on by it's self, I am totally not a model.

Uh hey guys. Yes this semester is nearly at it's end! I've worked a show, I've failed a class and I declared my Major. It may not have been the best semester for me but it's certainly been one of the more exciting ones.

Oh today is my birthday! I'm officially 25! I had a mini "oh god that's my age?" freak out for like two seconds. Then I realized that age is just a number. I'm happy where my life is right now. I've grown leaps and bounds since last year. So here's to 25! 

Now that my closet has expanded I hope to do more outfit of the day posts and more face of the days. What do you guys think of this look? I really love my polka dot top. Probably the best ten bucks I've ever spent ever. See ya soon!

The Good Witch (October 11,2012)-Ootd

Dress:Torrid (Similar Cut)  Cami:Dots  Sweater: Lane Bryant  Boots: Kohls (Similar)  Cuff: Hot Topic Bracelet: Craft Store  Necklace: Gift 

This outfit was fun to wear, I felt really cute. I wish I could say I loved the dress but it's a bit to big on me now. The sweater adds definition without weighing the dress down. (Plus it kept me warm.) I'm not usually a hat person but damn is that hat awesome. I found it at a craft store of all places. I need at least four more of these hats in different colors so I can wear them with everything.
My friend loved this outfit. She said I looked like a kindergarden teacher that was actually a witch. She then went on to develop a whole story where I taught the children of my class how to call faeries and perform magic through dance. That's what you get for hanging out with writers all day long.
So whatcha think of this outfit? Boho or no go?

I missed you guys! I haven't blogged much because I recently got a job working at Lane Bryant. I've also been going to school full time. It's a bit stressful and sometimes I'm unsure of myself but so far so good.
The simple make-up you see before you has become my uniform for school and work. It's easy to slap on some ivory shadow and brown in the crease with a little liner. I miss apply colors though.
Okay I know these pictures are blurry as hell around my face. Bare with me here, I've never taken ootd pics before. I had a friend help but she's not used to taking full body shots either. I'd love some more tips to taking full body shots!
