Look of the Day #128

Hey hey friends!

Happy Thursday! Last week, I promised to share my Halloween costume from last week. I went to a school dance and dressed up with friends. It was a great time to celebrate Halloween. I wanted something easy and affordable and DIY for my costume. After looking up many Pinterest costumes, I found something that was easy and creative. 

I decided to go as a lady bug and my friend Danielle went as a bee!

I got all my supplies from Walmart for all under $25! I got the plain black and red shirts from Walmart for $4.00 each. I then got the wings and anteens for $8.00! What a steal! After I had all my supplies, we assembled it together. For my top, I got black circle stickers and stuck them on the red shirt. For the bee, we took the yellow duct tape and taped it on the shirt. This took us less than 10 minutes to assemble. I loved how simply and easy it was to throw it together. I wore black leggings and black high boots to finish off the outfit. Danielle wore black jeans and sneakers. Two very different ways to wear the outfit. 

The Lady Bug

This costume showed me that you don’t have to break the bank on a Halloween costume, you can use things you have at home or spend a minimal amount at the store, all that matters is having fun with friends!

I hope this inspires you to step out of your comfort zone with your costume choices. I hope you all had a safe and fun Halloween! I can’t believe that we are gearing up for the Thanksgiving and Christmas season soon!

Have a great weekend ahead!

Look of the Day #122

LOTD

Hi everyone! Happy Thursday after a hectic week I am looking forward to catching up on the return of my favorite fall shows…hello TGIT!

 Well it’s officially fall, even if it doesn’t feel like it quite yet. I am looking forward to wearing some of my favorite fall colors and transitioning my wardrobe. I started to change over my clothes these past few weeks. The weather has been hard to plan for, some mornings its 45 degrees when I leave for class and then by the afternoon it is hot and humid. In order to battle this challenging weather, I have found the key is to wear long pants and a short sleeve top or shorts and a long sleeve top. 

Today’s look is an example of one of those outfits. On this particular day, I have a few meetings that I had to attend so I wanted to keep it professional while also comfortable. I also wanted to get into the fall mood by wearing darker colors. 

Off to class

I first opted for dark black leggings. What I love about these is that they feel like leggings but don’t look like them. I got these from Target and I’m on the hunt for a new pair. 

Full outfit

I matched the pants with my dark black slip on sneakers, also from Target. I wanted the comfort of a sneaker but not the look of a sneaker and these did the trick.

In order to dress up the outfit, I wore a silver blouse from Francesca’s Boutique with the outfit. I also accented the outfit with black and silver jewelry to add a pop to the outfit.

Due to the darker shades in my outfit, I wore a darker lip shade, but kept my makeup light and loose. I didn’t want too dark of an outfit for September.  I also did a darker shade for my nails. I went with a deep red to get into the fall mood.

I will probably wear an outfit similar to this in the winter when it gets colder, but until then I am going to adjust my clothing to the weather. 

Have a great weekend everyone and do something the speaks fall to you!
