{ Leopard 2009 }
Happy Halloween! Did you go out last night to a party and get dressed up? I love dressing up for Halloween and thought I would share my costumes from the past three years. We have an annual Halloween costume contest at work, which I entered last year (as the leopard) and won second place! This year, I didn't dress up and people were actually surprised as it was so unlike me. Tonight, we will be giving out candy to the kiddies, which is always fun. My girlfriend is even coming over to help as she doesn't have a place to give out candy - fun!

Yes, it's a wig, what do you think of me as a brunette?

I have recently become a huge fan of tutorial hair vlogs and attempted to do this one. While my hair didn't turn out exactly like hers, it's a starting point and learning different techniques is always great.

Happy Friday! Aren't you all seriously so happy the weekend is here? I know I am. Between car problems, helping plan and style an event and getting up extra early to carpool in with my sister (I know, really, that's not so bad...), I'm so ready to sleep in tomorrow. I need it. Otherwise, the weekend is going to be pretty low key, I think. We've been invited to a few Halloween parties, and normally I'm all about Halloween, but this year, I'm not sure if I'm feeling it (strange, 'eh?). Regardless of what happens, know that there will be some sleeping in, some jewelery making and some maxin' and relaxin'.
{ this is me showing you how short this dress would be without the skirt underneath -
not exactly work appropriate! }
PS - Are you guys sick of these shoes yet? Because I can't get enough!
PPS - Yes, I'm wearing a skirt underneath my dress, again.
Being tall isn't always all it's cracked up to be!

This post could have totally been titled, 'Thrifty Thursday', as I was sort of planning on starting to do , but instead I'm going to give you a list of five things I don't like. Yes, don't like, you know, fashion-wise, for me of course, not necessarily you.
1. Spaghetti straps... while I'm not opposed to them on other people, I have come to realize that this style does not work for me. Not only is it inconvienent that you have to wear a strapless bra, it will make anyone who's not petite look large (and in charge).
2. Cowl necks... I love cowl necks, I'm drawn to them, they look pretty, I enjoy them on others, but this has to stop. I have enough cowl necks and I don't wear them. I just don't. There might be the odd one, but there are so many better necklines out there for me, I need to just step away from the cowl necks (even though they call me during stints at the mall).
3. V-Necks... Too casual, can't get past it. Same goes for a crew neck. Give me a scoop or a boat and I'm golden.
4. Ribbed tanks... no, no and no. For girls (like me) that carry (extra) weight around their mid-section, ribbed tanks are not your friend. They add bulk and no one wants to do that on purpose.
5. Socks and sandals... there, I said it. I just can't come to terms with this trend. I always appreciate when other women courageously jump aboard a trend, or rock something out of the ordinary and really express their personal style, and even this I'm not opposed to... on others, but you will not see me adopting this trend... OTK socks and sandals, well, that's another story.
Things that come to mind after writing this post:
- I wear this jacket a lot
- These shoes just arrived in the mail on Wednesday night
(wore them immediately)
...don't they remind you of the Ash Lotus wedges?
-Got another, 'OMG you're soooooo tall' comment today... I should
seriously start keeping track of how many comments like this I get
on a daily, or at least weekly basis... If I had a dollar...
