What She Bought: Summer Edition

 Long story short: I went shopping. I got a scholarship for my work on the school's newspaper, so I treated myself. I did go a little crazy though, so I promised myself that this would be the last of my summer prep shopping. We'll see. I did keep to a budget though and everything I bought was between .75 and 15.00. Hallelu for thrift shopping. I don't care what people say about my frugality.

This outfit, all thrifted, got me a Teen Vogue Best Dressed Reader for May 4th (it'll be up on that day), so there! I don't want to hear boo about my .75 cent shirts.

As For The Future

I've already given thought to my more serious New Year's Resolutions (yes, I am one of those people), but now I'm considering the more fun stuff. If you're interested in my real grown-up resolutions, Click Here. As for the other more entertaining ones, read on.

There's more to reinvention and self-improvement than a new hair cut & color, but, those little changes never hurt anybody, right?

I've never been enthused over the idea of having short hair. To me, long hair has always been better. It frames my chubby face, and it's more fun to play with. But, I'm getting older, a little bit more experimental, and my ends are kind of frazzled from heat styling, so a little chop chop might be good.

After I dyed my hair in 11th grade, I decided that it wasn't for me. The upkeep was hard, and it just didn't look natural on me. Luckily the ombre hair (two-toned) trend is becoming acceptable, and I think I can just pull it off. I might try to DIY this one, using this tutorial.Wish me luck!

 If it isn't obvious to you yet, I'm a make-up junkie. That's my love #1, before clothes or shoes. Hence the "Pretty Face" slogan. In my day-to-day, I stick to a pretty ordinary make-up routine, despite my arsenal of products.

I'm going to try to make better use of all my products, especially lipsticks. Reds, wines, plums, pinks, the whole lot of them. I can't wait to try them all out in real life.

I'm sure I'll have much more ideas for things I want to try for the new year, but this is it so far. What are you looking to try out?

R.I.P. Plaid?

Is plaid dead?

When plaid reawakened from the 90's grunge grave to be worn by indie hipsters, it was pretty groundbreaking. Everyone everywhere was buying and wearing the trend. I was one of them. I still have a few items in my closet, but lately, I've been hesitant to wear them. 

I do like the ease of my plaid button ups, and I like that it breaks up the monotony of solids, but has it been done to the point of death? I would say, yes. It has been done, a lot. But, I do like my plaid. So if I do pull my lumberjack button up out every once in a while, don't kill me. 

Oh, P.S. I normally do a side part, but I'm feeling this mid-part thing I did. I stopped doing it 7th grade because I thought side bangs hid my chubby face better. Good decision?
