Classy Lady

Hey guys! I wore this outfit to my friend's holiday party. This was one of those outfits that actually came to me in a dream. A daydream that is. Has that ever happened to you? I was just staring into space and I thought of a perfect outfit for the party. I like how at first glance it looks very WASPy, but there are edgy details like the zipper in the back, the chain necklace, and the fact that it's a tight strapless dress, not a pencil skirt. I always love finding new go-to outfits and this one will definitely work for many occasions. As a teenager, I don't have many clothes that are fancy in a business-like way and this solves that issue by combining pieces that can be worn separately in more casual outfits.

Ringin' in the New Year

Hey guys! I'm posting my favorite looks from January 2011 and what better place to start than New Years? I wore this little number on New Years Eve so it was the very first thing I wore in 2011. I have a few variations on the classic LBD, but this one is definitely my favorite. I have to admit I was a few inches shorter when I bought it so it looks a little leggy with heels. That's exactly why I wore it on New Years'. It's one of my favorite holidays fashionwise because you can pull anything off. Full sequin dress? Bring it. Ridiculous glitter makeup? No problem. I usually go for something shiny or shimmery, but I decided to stay true to my "classic with a twist" style.


For hair, I did my very best trick. Nothing. I simply stepped out of the shower and pulled my unruly curls into a low bun, leaving some loose strands. I pinned my bangs over my ear to look like more pulled together. My makeup is just purple eyeshadow from L'Oreale, Maybelline black mascara, and Covergirl black crayon liner.
