Style: Funeral for 2012

 ...is what my mother said I looked like. Actually, I just really liked Dolce and Gabbana's lace overlay dresses and blouses from fall/winter 2012 and wanted to create a look inspired by that. The purple cami underneath is a nice little bit of color and adds depth to all the inkiness.

Man, I love black on black. Thrifted lace blouse, Target lace-trim camisole, vintage belt, thrifted midi skirt, Talbot's stockings, Merona flats.

Charming Charlie sunglasses, my own necklace worn in a double loop. Relvon Super Lustrous Creme Lipstick in Black Cherry. I love Revlon's lipstick formula and colors- they're far and away my favorite drugstore brand.

In the last week and a half I worked six straight days with Sunday off, then this week only Christmas (my mother and I went to the movies to see Les Miserables, and it was amazing!) and Thursday off, which was full of housework and errands and working on a commissioned headdress. I've had some difficulty trying to get outfit photos for my blog with my schedule so crazy and me so exhausted. However with the new year I'll have a few less hours at work and more time for everything else. :)

Style: Stripey Jacket Glamour

Charming Charlie sunglasses, vintage snood, striped Walmart jacket, Target lace-trim tank, thrifted lace skirt, Talbot's hose, Merona flats.

Style: Something New

Working the red lippy... my go-to on rushed mornings, I always feel so chic and retro. Funny thing, until I had braces a while and they brought my teeth forward, I disliked my mouth: it looked almost pinched and the lips were flat and small. Now my mouth is one of my favorite features!

H&M rose clips, Claire's chandelier earrings, Talbot's blouse, tights; thrifted George lace skirt (I love it!), Merona flats.
