I would probably look like this if I were a cartoon character. This is from dressupwho.com, a really fun game site for girls! There are many genres of games, from baby sitting to wedding dress makeovers. I dressed up this character with a hairbow, gloomy bear shirt, leggings, and a cool necklace which is much like my own style! My friend told me this character I styled looks “A LOT” like me. =p

I actually have almost every item she is wearing!
I styled this one!

Eye Makeup, Eyes, Green Smokey Eye, Mermaid Eyes

I was playing around with my make up this morning and ended up with a smokey green eyed look. I started by highlighting the corner of my eyes and under my brows with white shadow. Then I used a rosey beige hue in the middle of my eyelid. Then I put a light but bright green color near the outer part of my eye, much like a wing. I finished with putting eyeliner on the bottom rims and upper lash line. There you have it, mermaid for the day!

Casual, Fall, Outfit of the Day

This is a laid back, going to class, early fall kind of outfit. It is comfy and fun. I love off the shoulder shirts and the tights make the short shorts not so revealing and kept me warm in the brisk morning. The peach color of the shirt and the coffee tights also remind me of autumn! Nothing fancy, just cozy.

Menswear, Pink, Real men wear pink

Women like it when men feel comfortable in pink. It makes them seem more manly sometimes because maybe they’re wearing pink to be different or rebel against society’s rules which generally separates men from pink. I think the majority of us women find it cute when guys wear pink, because it’s not just for girls anymore. That double standard is no longer in place!

Sometimes guys want to wear pink but they don’t want to come off as feminine. Stop caring what other people think! You won’t come off as girly if you wear pink the right way anyways. If you want to try it out but you’re afraid to wear pink, start out with a lighter shade of pink that doesn’t stand out as much. Then you can work your way up to a more bright shade when you feel confident. You have a large range of pinks to choose from, ballet pink, rose, fushia, etc. Try wearing khakis, cords, dark jeans, navy blue pants, or black pants. Wear a cool jacket or blazer over your pink shirt to look extra suave. P.S. -Please don’t pop your collar unless you want to look like a tool!

Remember: If someone is self-conscious enough to make fun of you for wearing pink, they’re probably just jealous of how well you pull it off, so smile, thank them for noticing you, and continue on your merry way! (I figure I would include this since I know a lot of guys who are not always very supportive or kind even to their own friends.)

Oversized Trend

Coats, Fall fashion, Oversized coats, Winter fashion

I’ve noticed since last fall that bigger coats are coming back. Wide legged pants were popular last year, and even though I have a few pairs of boot cut jeans from middle school, I didn’t pull them out. I’m not sure how I feel about this oversized trend since tight things have been in style for so long now and I am in LOVE with my skinny pants. I remember in the 90’s when everyone wore baggy pants and shirts. It really wasn’t flattering to anyone, making them look heavier and shorter than they really were. Maybe it’s just because I was a dancer, but I’d rather see the lines of the body than get lost in something big. Besides, I don’t know about you, but I look like a little kid who hasn’t grown into their clothes yet when I wear something baggy. I don’t even like those 70’s peasant tops because they’re so loose! My regular coats already look pretty big on me since I’m petite so I doubt I will ever buy an oversized coat.

Shades, Sunglasses

I wear sunglasses everyday. I have many pairs as you can see. The best shades you can wear for actual protection would be the bigger framed ones that cover a lot of area between your eyes and all around them. The skin above your nose that is between the eyes is a common place for skin cancer, and also the skin between your fingers is another danger zone. So always make sure to wear your SPF and some cool shades, ya dig?! And be sure to remember, even on cloudy days, even if there is snow on the ground, you can still get sun, so be careful being out for too long without protection.

What are you doing for Halloween? It was fun back when I was a kid, getting to go out to trick or treat. Now I just buy some candy and watch horror movies or go out to a costume party. Last year I went to a haunted house which was also a lot of fun. I don’t dress up every year but I like to be something creepy usually. No goofy hippy or skimpy cat. Original ideas are much better. I was thinking Elvira or Vampira sometime in the future. Haven’t decided if I will dress up this Halloween or make it into more of a date night.

Fashion Do’s and Don’ts

Do's and don'ts, Fashion how to, What not to wear, What to wear

Don’t be afraid to wear knockoff shades or something that is offbrand. If the shoe fits, wear it!

Do elegant thick eyebrows by skipping a waxing appointment or date with your tweezers. Thin eyebrows make you look older and harsh!

Don’t dye your hair a bright unnatural color unless you want to look like a pop singer wannabe. Instead try dying a streak or one section like the underneath of your hair. It will be more subtle and chic.

Do wear a big statement necklace if your shirt is plain.

Don’t wear the same outfit two days in a row. Always have an extra outfit like a sundress or jumper stuffed in your purse so you won’t look like a hot mess the day after a party or sleepover.

Do layer your shirts, sweaters, scarves, jackets, and coats when it is cold out to add interest to the basics.

Don’t wear leggings as pants. Always wear a shirt or dress or tunic that is long enough to cover the butt and frontal crotch region of your leggings.

Do wear sweatpants if you have a big scary exam, you are sick, you have terrible cramps, there’s snow on the ground, if you are going to work out, or as pajamas.

Don’t wear an uncomfortable bra. There are so many bras that don’t have underwire, and sports bras are comfiest, so I don’t want to hear anymore complaints! Also there are flower adhesive stickers at Target that you stick over your nipples instead of a bra and they work terrifically !

Do stand out.

Don’t wear a pony tail everyday.

Do dye your hair a few weeks after you see roots coming in.

Don’t let a guy dictate everything you wear. Trust your own decisions are probably better than his.

Do look for a wedding gown that has straps because strapless is not becoming on many people.

Don’t copy another person’s outfit completely.

(For the guys) Do shave your face regularly so you don’t look scruffy and unkempt.

Don’t buy your clothes where everyone else does unless you’re ok with looking like everyone else!

Do wear socks with your sneakers or skate shoes.

Don’t wear flip flops in the winter. It just looks dumb.

Do wear a cute headband.

Don’t pop your collar.

Do stay in your pajamas all day if you don’t feel good. Just don’t leave the house! haha.

Don’t wear boat shoes unless you are on a boat!

Do make sure you have on full coverage undies if you’re wearing a short skirt or dress, just in case!

Don’t wear something that shows more than a couple inches of cleavage unless you have a smaller chest, then you can get away with more revealing cuts.

Do change purses every week or two.

Don’t go out barefoot.

Do dress to impress.

Don’t cut your fabric to this season’s trends unless they really work for you.

Love your Body

Body Image, Love your body, Skinny, Thin

I’ve always been a small person. Not only am I naturally slender, I am petite too. Even in kindergarten I was the shortest, tiniest kid. There are several naturally petite and skinny women in my family, on each side of my family. This is why it is offensive and rude for people to act like thin people are fake, bitchy, unhealthy, and not normal people. Of course, anyone who would stoop to that immature level is probably doing so because they are unhappy with themselves. (Think about it, why else would they care so much about what I look like unless they are jealous in some way?) Obviously it is just in my genetic make up to be a runt! I would never say anything mean to an overweight person, but overweight people say mean things to me all the time. People tell me that I need to eat, or that I will blow away, or people act worried that I don’t eat anything at all! Little do they know, I eat three meals a day and snack all throughout the day, everyday. In the summer I eat McDonald’s almost daily and I usually maintain a weight between 92-98 pounds depending on the day. The hotter it is outside, the less I weigh for some reason. This puts my BMI at about a 16 which some people say is unhealthy, but if I am doing everything I can to eat normal and take my vitamins, etc. Then I do not think I am unhealthy, I just happen to be below the average weight genetically. And if you look at my pictures, you can tell I have good muscle tone, it’s not just skin and bones! I am evidently supposed to be a fun sized individual and there is nothing I can do about it.

I do find the extra skinny runway models graceful and the prettiest of people (blame Teen Vogue). Their delicate wrists, long legs, small chests, and defined collar bones are all appealing to me. I think those things are attractive, but that doesn’t mean I don’t find beauty in your average people. When I was in middle school or high school I remember reading that the average runway model is 5’11” and 117 pounds. I figured that if I got taller that maybe I could be one, however I didn’t grow tall enough, which is fine because there is nothing wrong with being a shorty (guys like it!) I don’t think it is fair to look at an image of a model and judge her immediately, saying that she has an eating disorder. You never know if someone is just that way naturally or not. If I were a few inches taller, I would be able to do runway modeling, and I would not want people to give me one glance and tell me I’m doing something wrong! That’s not right. We are not able to look at someone and just know their story. We can’t say whether or not they were born that way, only they know that about themselves.

Quit hating, be happy with yourself.
