So on my first style post, I talked about how awkward I felt in front of the camera. And really, awkward is kind of an understatement. But when Abby took photos for me this weekend at BG, it was completely different. I’m not sure if it was because she’s a girl and therefore understood the whole fashion blogging thing better, or if it’s because she’s my sister and I’ve known her for 20+ years and she’s the one person in the world I may never feel uncomfortable around. Probably a combination of both.
The above pose was actually her idea. She kept telling me to push my feet out farther, but the room was such a mess that I kept bumping into things. And laughing. This was supposed to be a serious face.
Blazer: New York & Company, thriftedTshirt: Tour shirt from Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball Tour (Which. Was. Amazing.)
Jeans: Silver via Macy’s
Shoes: Payless
Clutch: Laura Arens
Necklace: Thrifted
Watch: Walmart (I know!!!)
Bracelets: Don’t remember
Lipstick: Mary Kay in Red
I just love blazer-Tshirt-jeans combos. I usually wear heels with an outfit like this, but I am way out of practice in walking around a college campus in heels, so I went for the flats. So glad I did.
The clutch was hand-made by a friend of my cousin’s. She has her own site where you can check out a ton of awesome bags…I hope you do! They’re really high-quality and there’s a little something for everyone.
A note on Lady Gaga: I love her. She is my idol, and seeing her in concert last month was the best birthday gift I’ve ever gotten (thanks, Matt). I wear this shirt all the time, particularly under blazers because a pop/dance sensation flipping you off from under a blazer just screams class, in my opinion.
Ellen just started selling Mary Kay, so she gave Abby and me tons of samples, which is why I’m wearing lipstick for a change. I really liked it though, and may start wearing lipstick more often. Wow. I really am a grown-up. Ew.
The color is really just called Red? How BADASS!
ReplyDeleteHaha, it is! I kind of like that about it. I felt like a badass wearing it, too, so there you go :)
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely adorable in these pictures.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could find a blazer to fit me! I got one from UO not too long ago, I'm thinking about having it tailored!
