Sprinkled

February 3, 2012

Top: Thrifted, Skirt: LC Lauren Conrad, Heels: Steve Madden

I originally bought this top to incorporate into a Halloween costume. Don't all the sequins just remind you of sprinkles? Yeah me too, and why I had planned on using it for a cupcake costume, which I never really got around to doing. Since October, I've been seeing it just sitting there on the hanger with no intention of ever really wearing it out. That was until yesterday, when I thought I might just take a chance and see how I could make it work into my wardrobe. I actually happened to like the fun sequins paired with the muted color of this pleated skirt...I think it's a good balance. Have you ever taken a chance on something in your closet?

I wish I had a better pic of the top but sadly my camera dropped while taking these photos and now it's not working :( Don't worry though, the boyfriend has already offered to let me use his camera until I can get a new one...what a sweet guy.

Also you still have this weekend to enter the giveaway.

Hope you all enjoy the weekend :)

Faking It

February 2, 2012

Tank: Thrifted, Dress: Thrifted, Belt: Gift, Heels: Steve Madden, Accessories: F21

I've always liked the whole fishtail skirt trend and have been meaning to update an old thrifted skirt for some time now. When I found this beige dress hidden in the back of my old closet, I knew it would be the perfect candidate. The only thing is, I just didn't feel like cutting and sewing yesterday...so yes it's true. Sometimes I fake it. I just pulled up the hem to get the look I wanted, belted it, and went along with my day...which was spent at Starbucks and running errands before working out. I didn't have to go to work or school, so I was a happy girl :)

So tell me, Do you ever fake it?
