Gossip Girl Remix

Hey guys! I've been thinking about how uncreative my blog titles are and this one just came to me. The headband, ring and dress remind me of Blair's preppy style on Gossip Girl, while the half-ponytail, leggings, and tall boots remind me of Serena's bohemian luxe look. This outfit was amazingly comfortable. I realized today that I could live in leggings, boots and dresses for the rest of my existence. Unfortunately, people would start to notice....Anyways, this dress was a gift from my family in Spain for Three Kings' Day last year. I'm super excited because their package got lost in the mail over Christmas and we're finally getting it on Saturday. I love the color of the dress and the fact that it has long sleeves, but the drop waist is not the most flattering for people under 6 feet tall. I wore these exact same leggings last week, but I feel like if you dress them up differently they just blend in, especially since they're not the focus of each outfit.

Day 6 Makeup Challenge: (yes, I'm aware that I skipped day 5 because I was pretty busy on Friday and hope to post those pics soon.) Changing up the makeup is a lot harder than the hair because you need different products. I'm trying to do different styles with the same basic products, which gets a little difficult. Today consisted of brown eyeliner smudged all around the eye and a light purple eyeshadow just below the crease. I constantly reapplied Burt's Bees pomegranate chapstick throughout the day as the blasting heaters make my lips crack like the desert.
Tools: Covergirl Espresso Eyeliner, Burt's Bees Chapstick with Pomegranate Oil, purple eyeshadow

Day 6 Hair Challenge: I switched up the half-ponytail from last week by adding a gold headband that my friend gave me for my birthday. It looks plain tan in the picture, but it has little flecks of gold. Even though the headband craze is coming to and end, I still enjoy wearing one now and then to spice up a hairstyle.

Tools: Headband from Kohl's and hairband
