Outfit of the Day OOTD: Hard and Soft







Hi everyone! It has been a very long time since I did an outfit of the day (OOTD). I really loved today's outfit and thought it would be very appropriate to do a blog post on. Let me know if you would like to see more outfit posts. I went thrifting at Goodwill yesterday and picked up this adorable baggy sweater shirt that I really wanted to style today. 

My inspiration for this outfit: 
I wanted to mix edgy and soft textures and colors.
I wanted to have a loose top with tight pants and tight combat boots. 


Here's a photo of the top up close. The detailing looks like little hearts, which I thought was very Valentine's Day appropriate. 

I used the cream top with darker purple/grayish black pants/ and black boots. The top brings a freshness to the rest of the outfit. 



 I paired the soft top with this heavy, edgy chain necklace. This top could have also been paired with a scarf if you want to stay warm outside.

Top:
Goodwill

Purple top - Wet Seal

Necklace:

Pants:

Boots:

 Here are some upclose shots of the boots. They lace up the front and have some metal detailing on the side.

FOTD: Emerald Green


Today I have a Face of the Day that is inspired by a post from MakeupbyTiffanyD. I saw this look and absolutely loved it and wanted to try to recreate it. My take on this look is not quite as dark, but it is still a similar concept. This is also my first time wearing a nude lip, so I am a little unsure how I feel about that part of it lol. This look would be appropriate for a party, girls night out, date night, etc. 

Product list:
Eyes:

ELF Eyelid Primer
NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk
Sleek Oh So Special and Storm palettes
NYC Show Time Glitter Eye-liner Pencil
Covergirl Clump Crusher Mascara

Revlon Brow Fantasy in Dark Blonde (eyebrows)

Face:
Revlon Whipped Creme foundation in Sand Biege
Revlon Nearly Naked Pressed Powder
Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Exposed (review to come soon)
Monistat Anti Chaffing gel (primer)
NYC Bronzer in Sunny (contour)

Lips:
L'Oreal Color Riche Lipstick in Fairest Nude

Outfit of the Day: Edgy Summer Look

 Hi everyone! I know that I haven't been on here in awhile, but I am definitely still going to be posting. Today, I have an outfit of the day for you. I wanted to do an edgy look that is fun and can be worn for summer. I found these fantastic shoes at a shoe store around here. The chain strap was broken on the left shoe, but my husband knew that it would be an easy fix. Because the strap was broken, I was able to purchase these shoes for only $4! It was definitely a steal! I really wanted to incorporate the new shoes into a look, so here's what I came up with!



 White Shirt: Forever21
Vest: New York and Company
Shorts: Thrifted
Shoes: The brand is called Xappeal
Necklace: Given to me from my bestie in New Mexico
Watch: Charming Charlie

 
         They are sort of a cross between flats and gladiator sandals.





Not too bad for $4 shoes!








Here's a better shot of the necklace!
I took my hubby's wallet chain thing he has had forever and attached the guitar charm from my best friend and TA-DA!
