New Year's Resolution (one month early)

This year I actually have a resolution I can keep: pare down my wardrobe to only things I will constantly wear and love. This means throwing out all the things that don't fit, flatter, or wow me anymore and investing in fabulous articles I can wear in all kinds of combinations. So I started early by purging my closet of all the things I no longer wear. Luckily, mi familia knows I'm addicted to fashion and I am looking forward to shopping giftcards as stocking stuffers. This means that my resolution to look more fabulous in the New Year is oh-so attainable. For now, I'm pairing the pieces I love and finding inspiration for great, versatile additions.


What did I wear today?

Mostly old pieces, or thrifted. The tank is from MaxRave, my ultimate cheapy store. The jeans are leggings on clearance from JCP. The boots are my new staples from Payless, but if you join their text-coupon club you can get 20% off your purchase! And the jacket... oh the jacket. My all-time best purchase at Plato's Closet, a franchise and you can find your local branch here. Originally from Wet Seal, and I wear it with everything.

All in all a sunny outfit to warm up the cold winter day :)

Fun, Fearless Fashion (when I'm lounging)

I'm not usually gutsy with my clothes when I leave the house, but when I'm lounging at home all day, I could push the boundaries of fashion better than any of those covergirls!


Now I know you're not supposed to mix two trends as it can look too "costume-y" or "faddish", but if no one can see me... well I'll be daring and try it! It actually paid off this time, and I was spared the usual OMG-what-are-you-wearing looks from my returning family members. I just bought into the military-fabulous, sequined epaulette trend and I LOVE it. Add in my favorite purple (yes, purple) cowboy boots and ta-dah! instant trendy casual. 

I think the key to coming off as fun rather than clownish was to keep the top neutral and only add a pop of color in the boots. If I had been leaving the house, I would have done my makeup with some 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Rockstar and my favorite Big Fatty Mascara (both from Urban Decay). 


Over-the-top? Maybe. Tacky? Perhaps. Comfortable? Always!


Eyeliner, and Miracle Mascara that I get from Sephora, my personal Nirvana.
