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!

Great Lip Gloss Colors For Winter

Treat your lips right this season!
Winter means dry skin and chapped lips.
Don't let the harsh weather ruin flaunting your style!!This winter, ultra-glossy, luster lips are in.

Colors like fuchsia, nudes, sheer, baby pink, plum and magenta are just a few of the hot colors.

Need help picking the right gloss color for you skin type?

I have you covered:

PAIL SKIN:
Sheer, baby pinks. Even a great sheer mauve color will look fabulous.
Our favorite is Co.Bigelow in Pink Mint. It's a great, sheer mauve. You can get it at Bath and Body Works for about $5 dollars.


FAIR SKIN:
For winter go with a color that's slightly darker then your natural lip color. Get a pink with a purplish undertone, but not plum or anything.
We like Organic Wear in Super Pink. You can get it at Walmart for about $5-7. Or Amazon.com for $4.29.

MEDIUM/OLIVE SKIN:
Go for a nude, ultra-glossy gloss. Don't want to be nude? raisin color or sheer magenta will look excellent with your skin.

DARK SKIN:
berries and pinks always look great on you. Nude and golden honey's will enhance your skin tone.


A FEW OF MY FAVORITE LIP GLOSS BRANDS:
Co.Bigelow, Organic Wear, Victorias Secret Beauty Rush, Neutrogena MoistureShine.
