Drenched in Otherworldly Charm-FOTD and OOTD (June 20, 2013)

 

Maxi Dress-Torrid (Pretty sure it's on sale right now!) Shirt-Target Sandals-K-mart 

Oh my God, a dark lip? I know right? Not something I usually go for but I figured the look needed an extra lil something something. I really like the whole shirt tied under the boobs look lately. I wear this shirt like that with a lot of my sleeveless dresses. It makes a dress look sassy while covering my arms up. 

What I used:

Eyes-

Wet n Wild Primer

Maybelline Color Tattoo in Barely Beige 

Wet n Wild I heart mattes palette dark reddish brown (Used to cover half of the lid leaving space on the lid for another shade.)

Darling Girl cosmetics eyeshadow in Otherworldly(Used in the crease and the empty half of the lid.)

Random matte white (To highlight the inner corner of the lid yo.)

Random matte ivory (They're both probably from the I heart mattes palette I think... used to highlight the brow.) 

liner of course 

mascara 

lips-

Random deep wine lipliner from dollar store

Illamasqua lipstick in Drench (Though a lighter red the wine color deepened the shade nicely.)

Clinque Lip thingie in Black Honey (Added gloss and used to darken the shade further.) 

I made Shaun take pictures of me this time, that's why my hand is all fuzzy in the last picture. I think I need a tripod! (Oh and a cleaner space to use as a back drop.) 

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.)

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!

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?
