Being Busy, Prepostions, and Stuff

Hello Suzies,

I would say, "I'm promise I'm back for good," buuuut we see how that has turned out.  I don't forget about you, I CAN promise you that much.  I just get so busy and procrastinate and blah blah all those shenanigans.  Anyway, here I am!

Since I've been away I have taken several pictures to be used for WideEyedSusan, this is one!  Taken by my wonderful friend Lesley, I stand in an alley of clovers and beside a wall covered in graffiti out of which I was unable to make words..  I am wearing an outfit of which I am extremely yet peculiarly proud.  I feel like these sentences sound weird because I'm trying to make them grammatically correct by not putting prepositions at the end.. please excuse me.  It was dream job day at school on this particular day and I tried to dress the role of Accessories Director at TeenVogue; I really like Sheena Smith, she is the cooliest.  Plus, I never get to wear normal clothes to school because we wear uniforms.  I talked about that in this post!  

Now time to get down to bidness.  From head to toe? FROM HEAD TO TOE!  My RayBans are a staple item, love'em.  My earrings are from the ever lovely Urban Outfitters.  You can barely see it but the silver necklace laying under my collar is from H&M along with the black ring on my pinky!  My bracelets are just from around the house, I really wish I could tell you where they are from but I have no idea.  Oh! My purse, it's kind of hiding behind my person, is from TopShop, and oh my oh my how I love it!  The chambray collared shirt is from Gap, the overlaying boyfriend-like sweater is from- I could eat this store up- H&M.  Black jeggings... YOU GUESSED RIGHT, H&M!  Desert boots are an autumn and winter essential, mine are Steve Madden- very reliable boot brand.  My coat is my favorite favorite favorite!  It is a vintage piece of my Great-Grandmother Dot's, actually made by a local seamstress way back.  This one-of-a-kind piece is covered in a tiny blue and green hounds tooth!  

I would like to wish everyone a very very happy Thanksgiving!!

Weekly Weakness

Hello Suzies,

Say au revoir to midday shine!!

  

This week's weakness is the Rimmel Stay Matte pressed power.  Throughout the day, usually my skin begins to look and feeling greasy/shiny.  I have seen countless reviews of this pressed power so I had to get my hands on it.  I am so incredibly pleased with this product.  It comes in tones AND a translucent tome which is the one I chose.  I use it to finish off my makeup and to touch up when my face starts to look a little too shiney.

Love XO 

Accessorize or DIE

Hello Suzies,

TWO IN A ROW.

If you didn't know, I go to a school where we are required to wear uniforms.  A white polo and khaki pants/shorts/skirts, those are our options -hard to decide, I know!  Let's get real, for someone like me who just loves to wear clothes and uses fashion as a creative outlet, it can feel a bit constricting at times.  The only thing I am left to work with is accessories, and boy do I work with them.  Fortunately, since my "base" is so neutral, I am pretty much free to create whatever look I choose.  Some of my go-tos are: preppy, cutesy, color block, and sporty.  Today I guess I went for the preppy look.

Bow- American Apperal

Pearl Earrings

Necklace- H&M

Baggy Sweater- American Eagle

Bracelet- 1D concert band

Watch- Urban Outfitters

Black Leather Belt
Loafers- Dolce Vita

LoveXO
