So without further ado, here's this weeks's style updates!
Monday, 2/11: Bordeaux Chandelier
Hair corsage: Won from a giveaway at fyeahlolita.blogspot.com (GREAT blog! :) )
Boots: An*tai*na (also Taobao)
Tights: We Love Colors (you might not be able to tell from the pictures, but they're ivory, not white)
I got the dress, blouse and boots as late Christmas presents that Saturday, so of course I wore them all to school that Monday!! (I was originally going to wear them to the school's semi-formal dance, but that was cancelled due to all the snow- we've gotten a TON! :( )
I loved this outfit, and it was received pretty well at school. My favorite comment came from a girl who told me it reminded her of Beauty and the Beast- I just love the idea and now I didn't really see it before, but now I totally do! The chandelier embroideries are quite reminiscent of Belle's gown. :)
I can't wait to wear this dress again, but unfortunately since it's a bit formal I'm not sure if I want to wear it to school again. I may wear it around New York though, if I go this vacation. :)
Friday, 2/12: Black/white/pink LOVE
Top/skirt/headbow (not pictured): Forever 21
Tights: Marshalls
Boots: Bodyline
This outfit was a bit uninspired, I think, and I feel like I've been over-using my white boots and black jacket. They just go with everything, though!! But I have to say, I need a new jacket, as the one I have right now is a MAGNET for dog hair (one time, I lint-rolled it when it was particularly hairy, sat on the couch for a minute, got up and was all hairy again- how does that even happen?!). Either way, black/white/pink is coming to be my favorite "casual" color combination- it's not as light as white/pink and doesn't attract the eye as much (since black and brown are all New Englanders seem to wear around Winter time) but easier to coordinate (for me) than black and pink, since I own hardly any solid black and solid pink things. xD
I always wear these bloomers I got from Bodyline underneath this skirt, partially for flash-protection (yes, even with tights on- I'm paranoid), and partially because the effect is somewhat like a mini-petticoat. I just love voluminous skirts of all lengths. :)
Finally, this is from yesterday...
Saturday, 2/13- Mermaid silhouette
Top: TJ Maxx
Boots: JC Penney
Tights: Marshalls
Headbow (not pictured): Forever 21
This outfit was inspired after I read the Little Mermaid from the Hans Christian Anderson book I got from the library. Remembering this cardigan, I decided I wanted to do an outfit with a mermaid-like silhouette, and maybe even some mermaid-like motifs. I decided the cardigan was too short by itself, and put the skirt there. I loved the effect in the end, as it was somewhat reminiscent of a mermaid's tail.
You can't really tell from this picture, but the top has some chiffon trim (which might not be the most appropriate fabric for Winter, but whatever) that reminded me a bit of a frilly clam shell. I also didn't wear them for this picture (for some reason) but I worse a pearl necklace from Forever 21 and a couple of pearl bracelets. I definitely want to do a similar look like this for summer at some point!!
Well, that's it for this week. Sorry for my laziness, and I'll try not to disappear this week. xD
I got some BB Cream in the mail last week, and I did have a review ready, but the pictures mysteriously disappeared of my crappy camera, so I'll have to re-do those and post a review later this week!
Until then, happy early Valentine's Day! Everybody be sure to eat a lot of chocolate (or whatever overly-indulgent sweets tickle your fancy) and spend it with somebody you love/your friends if you're a lonely loser like me. :P
I LOVE the first outfit. I admit I'm partial to black, and I think a deep wine-like color with gold trim is just about as luxurious as you can get. Great job :)
