Outfit: Orange and Black Candy Corn

Hello darlings!

Once again I'm back with another outfit post!

I'm trying my best to keep track of my daily outfits for y'all, so hopefully I'll keep up with it!

Here we go!





Details from the top down:
Candy Corn Earrings, Necklace, and Bracelet:  Claire's 
Minnie Mouse Top:  Target
Black High Waist Shorts:  Savers

This was a simple and fun outfit to put together!  I patiently waited until after September first to do Halloween things, and now I'm gonna start preparing!  I love Halloween so much! 
I haven't started decorating quite yet, but I put together this outfit for a good start.  Orange and black of course are Halloween colors, and I also think they go well together, especially the creamy dreamsicle type of orange that is in this top and the candy corn jewelry.  Speaking of the jewelry, I found all of these little candy corn accessories in a set at Claire's around Halloween-time a couple of years ago.  I'll have to go back again this year to see what goodies they have!

The top is very soft and comfortable, so it's good to wear for a long day in class, since Wednesdays are my busiest days.  The shorts are an item I've been into recently, and I've worn them a lot since I made them (from resale pants to cute shorts~) in July.  

I must apologize to you for not including shoes in my recent outfit posts...but I seem to be having a bit of a shoe problem.  I just don't seem to like most of the shoes that I'm coordinating to go with my outfits.  Either that, or they're not comfortable--but that's a completely different post.

Anyway, on to make up!


I'm just showing you my eye since the rest of my face was just a bit of concealer, blush, and lip gloss.  Unfortunately, I forgot to put on eye primer today, and I took this photo after all of my classes were over, so it's not at its best...but it looks pretty good after a long day I think!  I used the two gold shades from Maybelline's "Enticing Emerald" eye shadow palette to highlight the inner corners of my eyes, then used a brown eyeliner to make a nice pointed shape at the end.  I used Maybelline's stiletto liner in blackish brown, and it works better than other brown eyeliners I've used, but it still seems to flake off a bit on the bottom.  My pen precision liner from Maybelline has also done that recently.  I guess I'll start looking for a different brand of liquid eyeliner, or try some gel formulas to see if they work better.  

That's all for today!

I hope you enjoyed this post, and I'll keep the outfits coming!

Outfit: Sweatshirt Sailor Moon Silliness!


Hey there honey bears!
I have another outfit post for y'all, but this is going to be a short one!
This is from last Friday I believe, the weekend before this one...
It was still a little chilly outside, and my mom had told me to go pick up a very soft sweatshirt on sale at my University's bookstore!  Only $13!  Which is a really good deal when you think of how overpriced a lot of University logo clothing is...

Anyway, I like to think of this outfit as a magical girl on her day off.  XD
She wants to be comfy, but still exude some sass, and of course she's wearing her power color!
Mine happens to be pink. :P






Details:
Sailor Moon Cap:  Bought from an Anime Convention
Sweatshirt:  Millikin University Bookstore
Jeans:  The Gap
Striped Hoop Earrings:  Claire's
Ice Cream Necklace:  Love Culture

Comfy, yet still cute.  I love over-sized sweatshirts...just sweatshirts in general.  I can't wait 'till I can pair this one with some shorts!  I've always liked a loose top with a tight bottom.  I can't wear all tight things all at once, it makes me uncomfortable.  Something's gotta give, right? XD


For the make up, I used my favorite black liquid liner, the Maybelline EyeStudio Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner (what a mouthful), and for my lipstick, I used Revlon's Cherries in the Snow.  I love this lipstick and have used it a lot, but once late Spring and Summer hit I can't use it anymore since it has a somewhat blue undertone.  My skin is already a warm tone so when I tan this lipstick just looks out of place.  But I like playing with different colors during different seasons, so I'll still be using this one until later this month.

In my last outfit post, my hair was a very vibrant pink, and that was due to it being as light as it is here a few days before I dyed it again.  This is the lightest I've let it get since I've had pink hair, and I'm not sure how to feel about it.  The back bits are fine in a pale pink, but the front turns into this strange burnt orangey color that's not very pretty.  Although I think that the lightness of my hair worked with this outfit, because if it were the vibrant pink it is now, I may have even overwhelmed myself with the over saturation of pink. XD


I know this isn't my snazziest outfit, but I'm really into sweatshirts and trying to make comfy clothes into something that's fashion forward and cute!  Hopefully I can step up my game with my next few coordinates and see if I can actually make that concept a reality!  ...let's call it Lazy Kawaii.  XD

See you in my next post,

xoxo
