shorts with tights?

Ok so I know how some people think its 'silly' to wear shorts with tights. how they think that 'if it's cold enough to wear tights, you shouldn't be wearing shorts' kinda thing.

Personally, I love it. I have loved it ever since this summer when I took those beloved fashion classes, where I saw a stylish Asian girl wearing them. (I forgot the rest of her outfit...sorry).

First thing- It depends on the outfit. Wearing the shorts with tights can either make it or break it. You need to have the right kind of tights and the right pair of shorts.
You also have to be able to pull it off. If you can't. Then please, don't do this to yourself.

So today, I decided to take a risk and try it for myself. See If I could pull it off.

I think I did.

What I wore today:

Jacket: Kohls, Shorts: Angels Jeans (I got them like 2 years ago), Sweater: Mossimo Supply Co., Cardigan: Old Navy, Beret: Forever 21, Tights: idk, Necklace: Bebe, Earrings: made them myself. Shoes: (you can't see them...lol. They are just patent faux leather black flats with a silver chain going across the front) Payless.

Yup. This outfit was made up of stuff that I already owned and have owned for like, a gazillion years (like the shorts, tights, and cardigan).

So what's your opinion on wearing tights under shorts? Love it or hate it?
Would you wear it?

Now onto another subject.
Yesterday I bought my first ever normal-daily-wear-non-photoshoot-real-real-real LIPSTICK!!!!
It never really came to mind that I, a meer teen, could wear lipstick.
I don't really know why, now that I think of it.
Maybe the thought of 'lipstick is for grown-ups' was ingrained into my head. But who put that thought there?

Either way, I LOVE it!!! I automatically gravitated towards the Revlon section, where I picked out my PERFECT pink. It's 631 'Luminous Pink'. Once again, I must say that I LOVE it.

It glides on SOOO smoothly and feels great. The only thing that I don't like about it is that It doesn't last very long.
haha, now I want to buy lots of other lipsticks!!! I want a berry! another pink! a fuchsia!!

NOW I SEE WHY MY MOTHER ADORES LIPSTICK SO MUCH.

I never did understand this until last night. (if you didn't know, my mom is a HUGE fan of lip gloss. She has like a million tubes in the car, her purse, at her desk and in her makeup bag. Its crazy, but I also love it because I can steal some from her.)

So, in conclusion, I recommend Revlon for lipstick. It's a classic!

100th post!!!

woooo. :P

So on Sunday I went shopping with some of the money I got over the holidays.

It felt so strange to pick something up and know I could just like, buy it.
It got lots of stuff. I upgraded my jewelry and bought numerous amounts of tops, 2 pairs of jeans and a pair of REAL suede flat boots.

The most amazing thing was the boots.
They were 50% off, making them $47.00. The fake suede ones at payless are $44.00. And there fake.

So, if your looking for fabulous boots, check out Cathy Jean.

When we were in stores I noticed LOTS of ballerina-type things. Lots of duty pink and grey colors, tulle, embellishments on shirts and cardigans.
Sort of like the Charlotte Ronson Spring 2010 show.

I also noticed lots of nautical things. Such as necklaces with anchors on them.

Which is odd because for fashion class back in the summer I designed a line that was U.S. Navy-inspired. They must have gotten inspiration from my line. *sniff sniff* haha kj.

OK I'M GOING TO GO OFF TOPIC NOW:

I have been loving the color combo yellow and white and green and white.
I know its random, but I thought I'd just let you know.

I love my dog.
GOD is awesome.

1 Corinthians 13:-7:

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Meh doggg:

Now, I want to hear from you (whoever you are), what is YOUR style?

Sometimes I feel like I'm typing into some vortex that disappears into page 781 of google search 'fashion blogs'.
Are you out there? anyone?

of now, I am going to *try* to call Converse shoes Chuck Taylors.

sorry- yet again- for the lack of updates.

no joke, this isn't some 'sorry blahblah' thing, I am really sorry.

Well- kinda.

An update on my non-personal life:
-I'm now in a symphony orchestra, 2nd trumpet.

-I have been sucked into the whole 'Kegan Water' joke. ugh.

ummm i can't think of anything else. LOL.

You know what bothers me? when people who don't have official real Converse All Star shoes call their shoes Converse. So, as of now I am going to try to call Converse shoes Chuck Taylor's.

....yeah.

Speaking of Conv- I mean, Chuck Taylors, idk if i already showed you guys but my friend from Fashion Class had clear Chuck Taylors.

So when we were camping I didn't bring shampoo 'cause I used to use this Garnier stuff but it was the Costco size so my mom brought her shampoo stuff and I used that. Her shampoo was Pantene. But, I didn't want to go a week without washing my hair, so I used it.
Besides, I guess I should try a product before I trash it. So, I tried it out.

And you know what happened? I ended up buying some Pantene shampoo & conditioner.

last day of fashion class :(

For our last-day-of-class assignment we were commanded to make a garment out of black and white trash bags. I knew that everyone was going to do the dress thing so I did a Poncho!!!!!!! There were three girls in my group (including myself) Madie (who was the model so she couldn't really do anything but hold the stuff in place) and Julia (who did nothing expect give me tape, I asked multiple times if she wanted to help but shes like, "I'm ok").It took SO long to do the hood on the poncho, especially since I decided to line it with white garbage bag for that pizzazz so ummmm yes!!
I am so grateful for the fact that I was able to attend this class!! It was amazing and I really want to go for the full-year next school year.

I have almost everything together for Alaska, expect my iPod and laptop but yeah. Oh and SD Flash drive thing but yeah. :P

I can't believe it's been a year since I went up there last...since my great-grandpa died.....drama.

So my Grandfather in Florida is sick and not digesting his food properly. Last time I checked he was 81 or so...please please pray for him.

Another thing, my Friend's dad was in a motorcycle accident, he collided into a semi. He is in the hospital right now. Please keep him in your prayers.

Be a rebel, open the wrong side of the popcorn bag.

Tommrow were planning on SEATTLE!! again!! yay!!

Ugh. We have had soooo many assignments for the class and one of them is design a shoe-box window display. So I of coarse went more a more modern, white look. There's this one lady Victoria who worked for Nickelodeon or whatever who now helps with the class and so she stopped by where I was sitting and said maybe it would be a good idea to put more color blahblahblabhhh.
I nodded and smiled, "Ok." "Oh yes!" "Yeah" came out of my mouth allot, while Inside I was just like, just smile and nod...smile and nod....
Yeah, I'm sticking with the all-white.

We also have had to design 3+ 'lines'. I picked casual (not like sweats and T-shirts, casual chic), office and U.S. Navy inspired.
And I was so excited when I finished my office line today. Yay!!
Now I just have to do one more casual look and 1 (MAYBE 2) U.S. Navy-inspired looks.
The teacher keeps saying, "its crunch time, ladies.." and stuff but I'm not totally worried about the drawings anymore since I only have like, 3 to do.
I have kinda a system down (ok, not really) where I work for an hour on one outfit (completely, from the light table to computer).

On the 17th we will be -LORD willing- in Alaska. I am trying to restrain myself from spending $$$ before the trip, so I can get some amazing peice there. But then again, theres not that much up there but oh well! got to pppellz deh eyes, eh??

Seattle tomorrow!!!! yay!
The only thing that is :( about it is that we will be in a regular mall...but whatever! It's still the city!!!!

stop speaking in other languages!!! I can't listen in!!

Class was good today, I made a dent in my lines.

Ok so I'd like to inform you of the new Cover Girl Tru Blend liquid foundation.
Recently I bought some with high hopes that it would work, but I should have done my research.

When I applied it it became instantly greasy and oily, and I don't have oily skin! The moment I BRUSHED my fingers against my face it came off. It was horrible.
The thing I do like about it is all the shades it comes in! But that has really nothing to do with coverage.
The coverage was really horrible as well, even if you set it with translucent powder.

So yeah, it doesn't really work all that grannnd on me.

Today in class me and three others gave our report on 1960's fashion. It went OK, like, it could have been way better but yeah.
Like, I wrote the paper (which I will post later in lifez) and then they decided to just take turns reading off and they just used it as like, notes. I wrote it so it sounded more like yeah. I don't really love working in groups. Not that working in this group was bad or anything, but yeah.

sorry i haven't updated, this is just a quickiezzz

Fashion classes have rocked mah socks off.

And I didn't wear socks today because it was like, a zillion degrees!! I wore flipflops.

Yesterday we went to downtown Seattle, where we did this one scavenger hunt. Of course I had the blog in mind, and took pictures of everything!!!!

It would take a zillion years to upload to this blog, so you will have to open this link to view them.
