MY BLUE SUEDE SHOES.

OK, so how proud of me are you that I've finally taken my hair down from "Pineapples R' US"...? I Told you guys that I'd be wearing that hairstyle to the point of ridiculousness...and I meant it. Trust me...it will be back! But for now we shall appreciate something a little more tame. 

Can we take a brief moment to discuss my lip color?! Like....seriously? This LASplash Cosmetics lip couture-lip paint, in "Til' Midnight"... **Jaw Drops**, I DIE! I thought for sure it was going to be a straight orange (which I have been craving these days...aside from the other more funky colors), but the dry down was a bit more red instead. Either way I'm still very much pleased with the end result. 

And let's not forget to get into this top! This is the very same top as the one from my last post (with the exception of color and print of course), this ISH is just everything I could ask for in a "basic" top. The only complaint I have is the fact that it didn't come in every color of the rainbow, and in every damn print. This is seriously the cut of top I look for when I'm looking for casual-wear, but it's ridiculously hard to find. 

The length of the sleeve, the rise of the neck, how it rounds out at the bottom and how the splits on the sides cup my booty ever so righteously, it's just pure perfection. The material is substantial so it holds up to my jiggly bits and it's casual but not too casual as to where I look sloppy. Last but not least, it has an exposed zipper which adds an edgy yet classy touch to what would seem to be  a "basic" top (to which I didn't get a picture of because...epic fail). 

ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!!

I decided to pull out my not so basic white jeans that are adorned with watercolor splatters, and my Nine West faux blue suede shoes. It had been a while since the last time I'd brought these kitties out and it wasa perfect finishing touch to the tons I had going on already. What I love most about this fit is that with as many little statements going on, as a whole, this look is pretty tame while still holding interest. 

• Statement lips...(CHECK!)
• Statement necklace..(CHECK!)
• Not so basic "BASIC", or what I'm going to coin, the "Un-Basic"... (CHECK!)
• Statement White Denim...(CHECK!)
• Statement, yet comfy, shoes...(CHECK!)

What I'm Wearing:

1. Necklace from Burlington Coat Factory. $14
2. Top from Target. $22.99 (HERE)
3. Bracelet from Burlington coat Factory. $7
4. Jeans From Forever21.com. $22.80 (Circa 2yrs ago)
5. Blue kitten heels from NineWest.com. $29.99 (On Sale from $80)

SKULLIE.

This outfit pretty much combines everything I love...everything!

• Pineapple Hair
• Skulls
• Blue-ish/ Grey-ish lippy
• Polka dots
• Mixing Prints
• Bandannas 
• Studs
• Layering
• Moto Jeans

EVERYTHING!

It's funny how I don't go to school any more but I find ways to appear as though I might. I cant help but be drawn to the whole "Collegiate Chic" thing (or we could just call it layering a sweater on top of a button-front collared shirt), and as much as I love a good "adult appropriate" bag. I do love a good backpack, which believe it or not is hard to find. Trust me they're not all created equal, and finding the right one, that fits who you are and represents you as a person (at least for me) has been next to impossible. Needless to say, finding this one was a God send (additionally) so was finding these amazing moto jeans, because laaaawd knows I've been searching for the perfect pair for what seems like eons. 

As for this cute, hearts as eyes, skull (semi-cropped) sweatshirt....I just die. I came across it during one of those "I'm not gonna buy anything" window shopping trips (**side-eyes myself**). And honestly I wasn't going to buy a damn thing because I truly didn't have the duckets, but at just under $10.....I was willing to potentially miss a meal in the mall's food court. 

To make matters lean more in the favor of "You must get this RIGHT NOW!" (aside from it being in a print I just die for), it was the last one that actually came in an XL...I'll just let that sink in.

I got this baby home, threw it on, and did a dance around my kitchen as I contemplated what I was going to pair with it for my next outfit post. I threw open my closet door, dipped it low (while holding the door of course) and hurt myself while doing it (because lord knows how old and dusty I am, and how I swear I can do way more than I actually can...especially these days....due to my spine BS). In any event, while I was struggling to get back up from being dipped low, I made eye contact with my moto jeans and it all became clear...an outfit was born.

Now lets take a moment to appreciate this damn Vindictive lippy from LASplash Cosmetics....

I just....I just love it so much!

Are you sick and tired of it yet...? I'm not, like I warned in previous posts, I will be wearing my pineapple hair and Vindictive lips to the point of nauseam this season....who are we kidding, I don't really do seasons like that. I'll just wear it til my my heart is captured by something else, but for now...it's all about these two boos (don't get me wrong, I will rock other ISH, I'm just enamored with this as of right now).
