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!)

SPIKED & STRIPED.

A few weeks ago (and by weeks I mean months) I found myself frequenting the target mall on queens blvd, not really to shop for myself...more so to accompany my shopping peers. Upon one of my "shopping" trips I came across this striped top and (like many of my other style moments) it was love at first sight. It had the perfect sleeve length, the perfect type of stripes, and the entirety of its cut was just flattering for my body over all. Needless to say, this bad mamma jamma came home with me with the quickness, it's not every day you come across this level of lovely and perfection. 

I know you must be thinking to yourself, "Self, why is she so thrilled about what seems to be a basic striped top...?". All I can say is...it's the fact that it is basic yet not at the same damn time **cues Future's same damn time song** Yes it seems regular as hell but it's extremely well made and it really is all about the cut. Oh, and let's not forget that when you feel the material and match it to how much it costs...I deem it a win. 

I immediately knew I wanted to pair it with my "Super Mario" inspired faux leather jacket from Forever21, I liked the color combo of the dark navy and white stripes mixed with the rich wine. I also felt the undeniable urge to rock (yet again) my newest "life" pants (that were made by the Moto Gods), and (additionally) my "life" boots....cuz c'mon...

Let's just take a moment to appreciate this last image I included here, because though you can't enjoy the full plumpness of my booty (because I admittedly have what I like to refer to as a cube ass), you can however enjoy the color palette got dang it, and my awesome skull ring...and my absolute all time fave blue nail polish. BOOM!

And this is me about to break into a happy dance because I have yet another  triple C's (Comfy, Casual, & Cute) ensemble that'll be a no brainer and a go to. I'm all about the comfort while still looking put together.
