Going for a Drive

Hey guys! Despite the increasingly chilly weather I've been in a tights/leggings phase. I think it gives you so much more creativity and ability to play with textures. I liked this outfit a lot because it had girly, classy and urban elements. If there was one thing I could change, I would add some more metallic in earrings or bracelets. I have so many challenges going already, but a personal goal of mine is to wear everything in my closet and drawers atleast once. If an entire year goes by and I haven't worn something, I know I'm either not comfortable in it or it doesn't fit in with the rest of my clothes. This jacket is one of those pieces that makes a statement yet doesn't necessarily match many outfits. The dress is great; I love the wine color and goddess shape. I originally bought it for a party and suprisingly I've worn it many times since.

Day 7 Makeup Challenge: I have basically been going through every color of eyeshadow in my makeup kit to create different looks. Today was a navy shadow that faded to blue with some brown eyeliner. I have momentarily misplaced my mascara so that needs to change soon.

Tools: Covergirl Espresso Eyeliner, blue eyeshadow

Day 7 Hair Challenge: Today I wore a side braid with my hair down. I started with the bangs braided into it, then brushed them out in front and finally pinned them back for this picture. I think they looked the best braided in, but it didn't stay without hairpray. The beauty of this hairstyle is that the simple addition of the braid makes it look like you actually made an effort in the morning. I'm still working through the hairstyles from a book, but after that I'll be on my own.

PS- This has nothing to do with style (not that I ever go off topic....) ANYWAYS: I passed my drivers ed test today!! yay!! So now I can get my licence on June 3rd and I don't have to take the test at the DMV.
