throwback halloween: 12 costumes I've worn

We won't have a Halloween on TBT for a longgg time, so it only makes sense I share these NOW! Many costumes throughout my years... but I so wish I had more pictures in my possession.

PS... remember... it's not nice to make fun of someone's weight adjustments. 

100% homemade Jasmine costume in 1994!

Pink Ladies in 1999!

And this says 1994, but it was really like 2002... Britney Spears, duh!

The one time I bought a "slutty" costume... a racergirl... in 2006.

2007: All homemade Tinkerbell!

Also 2007: Superman... because I really liked "Superman'ing that hoe." Seriously.

2008: Snow White! Because there were 7 of my BFF's who lived together and wanted to be the dwarfs.

Also 2008: WVU football player! Because I stole some legit game pants from a friend.

2009: Sherlock Holmes, because I was really enjoying stalking the Real World DC cast.

2010: Twitter Bird, because of the MTV T[witter] J[ockey] competition!

2011: Troll! Because I Love The 90s... even though they clearly didn't only exist in the 90s.

2012: Blue meth, because Breaking Bad was my drug, duh.

And this year, I'm Uncle Sam! Once I get better pictures this weekend, I'll post them!

After looking at these I noticed one thing: I was only something slutty when I shouldn't have been- when I was way too young and way too large. Ya live and ya learn.....

Don't forget to tag me in pics of your costume so I can post em!

what ya wearin wednesday 103013

Awww yeah, let's round up another Wednesday of hotness!

@sydmelissa08 went all aztec black and white for a great work outfit!

Check out @dubwalston with his bowtie and matching socks... and SHINY shoes!

@janesofresh_mua makes me wanna put together an all black and gold outfit ASAP.

@illusion3r's first ever post was for WYWW! So many textures and creative with the [I think] denim boot toppers.

Absolutely love @krifonz's skirt, especially matched up with the chambray and fun necklaces. 

Can we talk about how fun @ksnedegar's burgundy-underneath hair is?! Also enjoy that necklace!

Striped scarf like @BrookeRadio's: must have. Greatly paired with a graphic tee and jacket!

Not only does @ms_vdv have an awesome background for her pic, but that necklace, the tights, the dress! Love it all.

Check out @dominiquedadiva ROCKIN' some distressed jeans and that whole outfit!

Pretty color and fun ruffles on @bmpoulos!

YES @tannerlinwood with the go-to infinity scarf and boots!

Once again @mollskat has flawless eye make-up.

And how 'bout @mchilds00's adorable head piece?!

And @xxkaleigh1dxx has on a really fun shirt that could be paired with lots of things!

And for some adorable reason, @codyontheradio bundled up to go to work... in California.

And I went pretty basic again... I'll step it up next week!

-purple jeans from F21 $15
-really old sweater from F21, think I paid $18
-grey boots from JustFab [even though I'd never recommend buying from them]
-and I really wish I remember where I got that necklace from. I suck, sorry.

And don't forget! It's HALLOWEEN, DUH! YES, I'll be doing a Halloween costume round-up of some sort on Monday, so make sure you send me any pics you take or post! Just tag me @luvelizabethany on Twitter or Instagram! 

@Siarrahhh got into character a bit early yesterday. 

Happy treating!

love,
elizabethany

PS see some of my faves here! [As of 2pm, I plan on adding more later.]

pinspired outfit: mixing black and brown with military

Mixing black and brown gives me a little anxiety... and I don't think that this outfit really helped that now that I look at the picture for entirely too long. 

I was Pinspired by this here outfit, but didn't wanna rock the cowboy boots to work... Fail on my part. I should have. 


I figured the ruggedness would work for me... but meh. 
Anyway... here's the rundown: 
-military green shirt c/o Kohl's... they have some similar options at F21 for $30ish.
-white short sleeved sweater from F21 years ago.. here's a similar one
-black jeans from Papaya for $15
-boots from GoJane.com for $15ish
-necklace from BlueLans.com

Also... I'm SO over slouchy boots. I need some thinner ones... I need some boot shopping time.

Ya see, it's all about wearing things and then realizing how it doesn't work for next time!

more exciting news!!

When I made the move back here to DC, I knew it was a huge move up for my career not just because it's a major city and I'm working with the best... but also because it would give me other opportunities!

Already I'm able to jump on one! Starting tonight- I'm back on the air in Hampton Roads every night! Listen to me on NOW 105.3 from 7-midnight!

I can't explain how excited I am to be back on the air down there, and just so super proud that I'm able to do this. Just... wow. It's all still so amazing to me.

Here's the little video I put up on Instagram today:

And this fantastic promo that James Steele put together... I'm obsessed.



Let's do it again, HRVA!

what ya wearin wednesday 102313

Before I even get into this week, I should let everyone know that I am 99% positive I missed at least one person. Not only am I finding that people are using all sortsa hashtags, but I was trying to keep track of them all on a bunch of different computers... so if you're missing, LET ME KNOW!

Now let's get on wit' it.

How pretty are the colors @oct_libra10 is wearing?! And her scarf is from Walmart!

ANOTHER pretty scarf on @toribabyy14!

Added to list of needs: A reddish blazer like @amsnedegar's. And that bandana.

@modelbrittanyj is actually wearing a shirt/skirt! I thought it was a dress.. and that make-up! 

Check out @thebestintheworldhy wearing lavendar! But man-ing it all up with a fitted.

I can't stop looking at @brookecassidyxo's flats! Super cute, and I'd totally wear them year 'round.

I spy pattern mixing on @laceyy_peterson! I like the mix of colors, too.

@avonelady has a fun maxi skirt and make-up!

@sarahkoellisch is all bundled up, but also rockin' a cute, fun scarf.

Enjoying @averydiroh's sweater dress!

@Alexonthemic has these shirts for her station's Race for the Cure team. I want one just because!

Ooohh @ddryan is getting all fancy with his picture. The bar has been raised, y'all.

Sparkles! Ombre! Fun! @shaylads

Get ready for patterned tights everywhere! @s_maul is already rockin' em and lookin' good!

@squidneyjax went all Americana for one of her spirit days! This would be a real easy Halloween costume, too....

Boots, necklaces, military jackets... any of them automatically make something fashionable right now.. and @BrookeRadio's got em all!

@kcessna has a fun winter headband!

Liiiiking @ksnedegar's boots, hat, and jacket!

@tannerlinwood started with a polka dot shirt, but I'm obsessed with her mix of fabrics and colors that she put on later in the day!

Army green is my weakness right now.. and so are stripes... so @_emlovesaust_ is a winner.

@florasenmipelo always brings something different to the table for me to try!

@xxginginxx swears she's not wearing Redskins colors, but I beg to differ. [PS that rooommmm, girl... ;)]

Okay so this is actually from a boutique that I follow, but I love the outfit! I'm normally against the whole leggings-as-pants thing, but if it's a long shirt and cardigan like this, I'm diggin' it.

As for me... UGH. No camera, phone's camera broke, couldn't find someone to take a picture/forgot when they were all around... so this is all I got for ya.
I had an orange button down from Love Culture and a black/multicolored scarf that I got for $5 from jane.com [my new weakness!]. You can see the scarf a little better on instagram.


Another solid week, though! YAY!

If you're confused on which hashtag to use, please use either #WhatYaWearinWednesday or #WYWW. That way I'll definitely find it and not forget it!

elizabethany
