#ODP13 Day Six

 As promised: the first complicated outfit of the month! This outfit actually reminds me of a movie that's coming out, The Lego Movie (don't make fun of me because I watch little kid movies...). There's a scene in the preview where one of the characters asks Batman (my favorite Superhero, btw. Besides Iron Man, of course) if he can make the batmobile in orange. Batman responds, "I only work in black. And occasionally very, very, very dark gray." So basically, I'm Batman. 

 I wore The Dress with my petal dress over top, a black vest, silvery shoes, a black belt, and a black and gray headband. Also: first day with the gel eyeliner, I like it so far!

#ODP13 Day Five

 Happy day five, y'all! Today was pretty lazy, I didn't wake up until 11 and then went to get groceries with my momma. So I just threw on this top (which is kind of my favorite top right now, I've worn it three times in the past month), a black belt, and my multi-colored converse, which were a gift from my grandma a few Christmases ago. I didn't even wear make-up because I ran out of eyeliner yesterday. Since I'm on a spending freeze, I thought I wasn't going to be wearing any eyeliner for a while, but my lovely mom said she would buy some for me :) So I'm trying out gel eyeliner now, have any of you tried it? Thoughts, advice?

#ODP13 Day One

 Day One! I kept it simple for today, there'll be plenty of days to layer! If you missed my post yesterday, you can read how I altered the dress here. You can see all of last year's outfits here. Today I wore The Dress, my pink and blue plaid shoes ($6 at Payless like 5 years ago), my new rose gold watch (Walmart, $13), vintage pink earrings (thrift store, $0.53), and my stained glass-esque elephant necklace (mall kiosk, $1).

DIY Thrift Store Shoe Fix

Those shoes look pretty darn good, don't they? That's what I think too. But look what they used to look like:

Hmm, not so great, huh? 

 I didn't really mind the little scratches, most of my shoes have them because I buy mainly from thrift stores. But I was about to do my nails and I thought "hey, my shoes are that color red, I wonder if I could paint the scratches so it wouldn't show." And guess what....it worked! And I thought of it all by myself without the aid of Pinterest!! 

 You can still see the spot where the material was pushed up, but it's not nearly as noticeable as it used to be! I'm pretty proud of myself, I'm not gonna lie. 

I am "That Girl"

 You know the one. The one who clicks into class. Who wears heels more than she wears flats. I just can't wear flats four whole days a week! I just can't! So Friday I wore heels to school. And I survived! I thought I would be in so much pain at the end of the day, with carrying an extra 30 or so pounds on my back and all, but my feet didn't hurt that bad!

 I just got these shoes and shirt at the thrift store the other day with my mom. I think they were each about $3.

 I'm pretty much in love with these shoes. Even though they are technically one size too small they don't pinch my feet. They had a little tear in the material on the back of the right heel, but I did a little DIY fix that you can look forward to in the next week or so (:

 The shirt was actually a size 14, which is probably two sizes bigger than I normally would have gotten, but I just added a belt and it works!

I'm a Little Flower

 Guess what guys...I went shopping on Wednesday! Which means NEW (to me) CLOTHES! Which is pretty much my favorite thing ever, besides spending time with my family and friends, which can be done while shopping, so that's pretty awesome. So I got this dress at one of the thrift stores my mom and I went to for like $6. It reminds me of a flower and will from now on be known as my petal dress. It's getting way cold here (it was in the 30's last night) and the dress is strapless so I had to wear a little sweater (purchased at a garage sale for $0.50) and tights to keep warm. I wanted to pair it with these super cute new heels that I purchased, but I thought that would be too dressy for Bible Study and school, so I went with my silver sparkly TOMS. I'm also wearing my spoon ring (tutorial found here), charm bracelet, treble clef earrings, and black and gray headband. Thoughts?

Polka Dots and Strings

 I've been waiting for a while for the perfect outfit to wear this head scarf with and I finally found it! I got this top at the on-post thrift store the other day for less than $3 and it's the perfect color to wear with the scarf! I paired it with skinny jeans, a white cami, my blue polka dot earrings and necklace, and sparkly TOMS. When we went to a concert in the park I also wore a blue sweater because it is getting COLD here! It's so not nice! (I was going to say not cool.. but it is cool...) I haven't decided whether I'm going to shorten the strings on the top yet; thoughts? 

Fancy Shoes and Fancy Hair

First of all, sprained ankles are no fun at all. The only thing that can make it better is new shoes :)

 I got these shoes yesterday at Target yesterday on sale for only $10. I have actually pinned these shoes before. I was quite proud of myself for finding them for such an affordable price.

 I paired them with my brown polka dot J. Crew skirt, my pink peasant top, brown earrings from a friend, and a super cute brown necklace that I got for cat sitting.

I also found this hair style on Pinterest and decided to try it out. It wasn't that hard, but I don't think it looks quite the same as the picture. I still like it though, and it didn't take too long so I'll probably try it again soon. What do you think?

Flowers In My Hair, Water at My Feet

So today I woke up 30 minutes after my meeting started... I blindly reached into my closet, threw this on and ran out the door. Luckily it could be rescheduled and no real harm was done. Lesson learned: always set an alarm, no matter how late in the day the appointment is.
