Style: Fairytales and Darker

My mother's, brother's and my favorite modern show is Once Upon A Time- we love sitting down on a weekday evening, plugging the computer into the TV set, and watching it on Hulu! (Less commercials that way.)
My clothes today were appropriately inspired: flowing long skirt, rabbit necklace, flushed makeup. It's toned down versus what I could do, but I'm headed to work!

Susie Rose shirt, vintage skirt, Talbot's tights, Merona shoes, H&M necklace. I later pulled on a wooly, hooded, cardigan thingy that made me look like I should be creeping through the woods, dark flowers blooming in my wake...

Where I do get the most freedom is my nails: and this morning I laid the foundation for an Alice in Wonderland card-deck look. Each white nail will be painted with a red heart or diamond, or a black club or spade.
My ears are hidden in the photos but I had a magnetic earring where a helix piercing goes- I don't have any real piercings right now but I like how it looks.

Aaand- one of my coworkers asked me to do her makeup! She very interested in a 50's retro look but has no past experience with red lipstick, while I have quite a bit as I wear it almost every day. We plan to meet sometime this month when our school and work schedules aren't colliding. :P

Jewelry: Altered Spider Bib Necklce

I bought it from Claire's this past October and just altered it from a boring grey chain to a beaded one I made myself.
Snood, thrifted top.

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.
