wearing: a diy peplum top

What do you do when you get an article of clothing that fits pretty well, but is see-through or the wrong color or something? You dye it, duh.

I was forever looking for a white peplum shirt and got one from ASUS that fit well, but it was so see through and any tanks underneath looked ridiculous. When I realized it was too late to return it, I decided to just try and dye it.

Even though the threading didn't change colors, I love the way it turned out! And now I think I'll become addicted to dying things custom colors.

-floral jeans from Forever21

-grey suede pumps from H&M

-necklace from Charlotte Russe

I still can't decide if the peplum shape is flattering or not on me. Honest opinions are very welcome. 

Also... I'm trying to get every last day out of tanks before I have to start pairing them with jackets every day. That's annoying.

wearing: winter in the spring

As much as I love getting some wear out of my winter-clearance items, I'm over it. I'm ready for bright colors, flats/sandals, and not worrying about carrying a coat around.

...but here we are... A week into Spring and I'm wearing a scarf and coat and still freezing. I decided to at least lighten it up a bit yesterday.

I'm so excited I finally found a chambray shirt that fits pretty good! It's darker than most, but I feel like it'll be a good contrast with hot pinks and yellows that I wear all the time in the Spring. 

-shirt from Old Navy

-jeans from F21

-flats from Charlotte Russe

-scarf from the streets of NYC

I've been going to work with wet hair lately [and just trying to hide my roots and nappy hair that I decided to show off here, I guess] so the easiest thing is an "LC-braid" that goes all the way down. Then I just double rolled the braided pony underneath and bobby pinned it up.

My fabulous blue liner is from Chella via Ipsy. I love the color, but it definitely doesn't go on easily/well.

How do we feel about the half-tucked shirts? Not going to lie... It took me several attempts to make the "untucked" look, look alright. People on Pinterest make it look so good and easy.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to waste the only hour of "extra time" I have by playing 2048 or trying to decide what to buy from this website.

what ya wearin wednesday 112013

"Why are you having to finish What Ya Wearin Wednesday now?! It's THURSDAY!" You're right! You know the days of the week! Now suck it and enjoy. 

[That was a real thing said to me five minutes ago.]

@muchachamary showed off this outfit, that she got for under $40! 

@msjsg also went with red and black, and I'm loving her subtle-sexy bodycon for her job as a teacher!

@stylebyhistory had light colors that still look beautiful in the fall!

@ksnedegar with my fave- braided to the side 'do.. and another fun-colored scarf!

All sortsa color blocking from @JenDBradley!

Apparently @amsnedegar didn't realize she didn't have shoes on... I think she wanted to show off her impeccable matching skills. 

Fun floral pants! @jannashepherd is my trend-twin today!

Can't decide if I like the leather stripe or the laced-up back of the boots on @anam_xo!

And @fangirlrenee knows it's always fun to rock the Chucks!

Also fun: @alliangel324's cheetah fishnet and asymmetrical skirt!

NOT fun: @BrookeRadio's awful sweatshirt... she's lucky she rocks the hat so well.

@tannerlinwood with the skater dress and boot socks! Approve!

Also approving @ms_vdv's tights and little cowboy booties.

How gorg is @bradlisan's 10 minute updo and Marshall's dress?!

And uh... @cadyeimer's new purse... I want it. That color!

Even though she was also inspired by someone with the initials TS, I'm thinkin' @broadway_lover89's new hair is fab.

By now, we should all know @mollskat is going to do some beautiful make-up every time.

Boot socks! I'm glad @kkruz found some she likes, cuz I still haven't.

Chambray and mint! @toribabyy14 knows how to please me.

@lettybradio shows that simple sweaters, leggings, and boots can be cute! And her friend snazzes it up with trendy leathe skirt and fur vest.

And @ambs829 spotted this yesterday... since Halloween season is still going on......... ohhh, Morgantown.

I got an order from Forever21 right before I left the house, and knew these pants would be my new fave/easy to style. They were only $11!, and will match just about anything.

jeans- F21 online clearance

shirt- F21 YEARS ago, but it's still one of my faves

boots- Charming Charlies $5

scarf- BlueLans.com $3

I actually liked it better with my white necklace, but I have this weird neck issue right now and it hurts to wear necklaces and ugh that's a whole 'nother story.

I think this week was pretty good! Let's keep it up, ya hear?! And don't forget, you can now use #WYWW if you wanna make it easier.

love,

PS SOME of my faves are posted on the HOT blog!
