Leopard, Lavender & $heer #OOTD


HeadShot

Close up of Detail

My boyfriend/photographer and I



Hey babes, I havent posted in a little while, I'v been busy with my new job and the ending of my first year of University :O. I know I'm getting old. This is an OOTD from this past weekend on my way to work. I'm wearing my new ombre hair curly now (well new to you, old to me since I had this two years ago also.) I could give a tutorial if anyone's interested in how I achieve my curly hair! Anywho the peekaboo sheer is a huge trend now, but funny thing is I actually bought this dress last summer. I paired it with studded cheetah flats, a cheetah blazer, Versace inspired earrings and lavender tint lipstick. Normally this is a little to matchy matchy for my taste, but it all worked. Needless to say, everyone wanted to know if this outfit was at Forver21 while I worked. ;)

And The Weathers So Breezy





This past weekend was really pretty. So I went out with the boyfriend who decided to do some photography. As you can see my hair is different. I did a subtle ombre for spring (myself) and the side cut is still going strong, it just grew out. Also I was wearing my new sunnies, they flip open ughh I'm in love with them. Not pictured is my new all white wedged sneakers paired with this outfit. It's a very relaxed outfit which I haven't had on here yet. I know I say this almost every post but check out my huns blog ShakirSmithill.blogspot.com he did this photography.

Job Interview #OOTD

 Happy Friday dolls, I had a job interview at a popular clothing store yesterday and I thought I'd do an OOTD. I wanted to show how I dressed proffesional, yet fashionable and trendy to suit this particular job.


Scarf tied into turban style, Black Radiance Purple Lipstick, Aldo Accessories Gold Hoop Earrings
The embellished top is actually a vintage Express mini dress tucked into the leather skirt to make the look more appropriate for an interview.  
The thick mustard blazer played off the colors in the jewels on the dress. I'v been using this oversized blazer as a coat and for a pop of color.
Leather skirt was at knee length then paired with fishnet stockings and leather combat boots for some edge.
Creepy smile haha. But the Lime green nailpolish can be found at American Apparel
