What I wore today (flashback) 1-24-14/Ebay rhinestone tights


I really don't care for cold weather too much. My wardrobe is full of skirts, dresses and 20 denier tights. We don't get much of a winter here in Texas, but when it gets cold I bundle up. When I'm cold my whole body tenses up and I'm constantly clenching my teeth and everything is just tight, haha!

 

Scarf: Forever21
Coat: Plato's Closet
Top: Wet Seal
Skirt: Cotton On
Tights: Ebay
Shoes: Forever21




I bought these rhinestone tights off of ebay for a lolita coord. I bought them in dark blue and black, one with (probably) 20 denier and then... whatever this one is. I really like the opaque ones, I can tug and pull on 'em and I haven't had a rip yet! I don't have any "good" pictures wearing the thinner tights but the second I tried on the black pair, I got a rip in them from pulling them up! The fact that these rhinestones are on them doesn't help with that either.
I successfully wore the thin dark blue pair but I had to be very very careful when putting them on and taking them off!

What I wore today 2/12/2012

Tiger print bodysuit: Ebay (American Deadstock)
Skirt: Forever 21
Shoes: Payless

Today I did a couple of errands. I went to Target and browsed the makeup. I saw a couple of nail polishes I wanted and I also wanted to try Elf's tinted moisturizer... but I resisted! I went in with the idea of only buying one thing, and I left with only buying one thing! I really wanted to buy an Icee or a little pizza too but I didn't do that either because I knew I was going to be eating dinner at a friend's house.

I went to Staples on the search for some cardstock. I've recently fallen in love with drawing on it! I love the way it absorbs my markers and I just really enjoy the feel of it. I didn't feel like spending $11+ on a pack of all white, so I bought an assorted color stack (100 pages) for about $8! I looked at a couple of printers because I'm thinking about making a few prints to sell, and I also looked at some drawing tablets that seem soooo cool! I really want a new one, but then again, I don't even use my old one because I'm trying to get more into traditional right now.
After that, I had planned to go to the bookstore to draw strangers but I didn't feel like driving the 10+ minutes, so I drove to a nearby Starbucks and planned to sit there. Too bad for me all the tables were taken! There was a lone table outside so I decided to sit there... before I could even get my stuff out, there was a flash rainfall and it was pouring hard rain within 10 seconds! I ran to my car and sat there eating a croissant and drinking my coffee. I eventually texted my friend Mariyah and went to meet her at her mom's house.
I got to her mom's house and her and her sister were watching youtube videos of tweens making fake braces? I didn't even know kids did that! Some poor girl actually super glued the stuff to her teeth! The food that Mariyah's mom made was definitely delicious~ :9 We sat around, tried to get Just Dance 3 from Redbox to no avail, then came back and took turns playing Bit.Trip Runner while eating pickle salt and talking about eyebrows.


Today I tried out L'Oreal's HiP Studio Secrets Professional Color Truth Cream Eyeliner in the "Midnight Blue" shade. I've been wanting to try colored eyeliner for a long time and CVS had this for 50% off so I was game! At first I couldn't really tell that it was blue at all, but in some lights it really pops! Unfortunately, it isn't poppin' here. I found applying it, it was a bit clumpy? My eyeliner brush might be the blame for that though!
I never leave the house without some sort of lip product on and today I went with L'Oreal's Colour Riche lipstick in "Spiced Wine". I really do love this brand's lipsticks, so moisturizing! CVS had this color for %75 so I grabbed it. It's a nice berry red shade that doesn't quite fall under "natural" but doesn't cross the line to being too overwhelmingly red.
I've really been loving having somewhat lengthy hair! This is the longest its been for so long! I have a love/hate relationship with messy updos mainly because I don't really know what I'm doing. I watched a couple of youtube tutorials and this is what I ended up with.

Milkbbi + new shoes!

A few posts back I had mentioned buying some Milkbbi items, they finally arrived in the mail along with some shoes I bought off of ebay!

I'm so in love with the art book! Justin Wallis' art is so colorful and inspiring... He has his own "style" with influences from Japanese culture and also '90s video games. The book came with a little cactus bookmark and a thank you card! I also ordered some buttons from him, the bigger the better! I like the eyeball one the most!
I wanted to pre-order the shirt but I'm not sure if I would wear it and it would kind of set me back... here's to hoping for more!


I bought some new platform shoes off of ebay. I'm pretty addicted to ebay, I can't resist a good deal... I got these for only $20!! At first I didn't enjoy the shoe laces but they add a lil' bit of a "tokyo bopper" look to the shoes... I still want to get some new ones though.
The shoes are pretty plastic, they squeak when I walk. They didn't ship in a box to reduce the shipping price, there were a few dents in the shoes but nothing too extreme. The heel height is almost 2.5" and for some reason I find these a little bit more difficult to walk in compared to my rocking horse shoes?
On one of the shoes you can clearly see what I'm guessing was hot glue? You can also see where the shoe and platform are wanted to come undone.

I haven't worn the shoes out yet because of the fact that they squeak and I don't have laces that I like but I guess we'll see what happens!
