I'm wearing: blue jean vest-Ross $10//White Shirt-?//Palazzo Pants-TJ Maxx $10
That got me to thinking that I have some pretty awesome readers. So...I want you to share your beauty/fashion tips. What's one (or two, or ten!) things that may be obvious, but rock your world?
I'll start-Halftee! Seriously, I got a gift card for Christmas and recently purchased 3 brown Halftees (tank top, cap sleeve and long sleeve.) THEY ARE AWESOME! Versatile, useful, a great modesty tool.
I also have a fashion question! In previous Winters I've worn cheapy boots, which kill my feet. Now that I'm working and earning my own money, I'm looking to invest in a pair of comfortable boots, and pay more than I have previously!
What brands of boots do you girls love?
I also own a Halftee (white half sleeve) which is especially great for the fall season!
ReplyDeleteI've always owned a few scarves, but recently I've really been getting into them. I like the ones that are really wide so you can also use them as a shawl or head wrap. I recently took a bus ride across America (which you can read about on my blog), and I wore a scarf whenever I was on the bus. It provided some fashion when I didn't have the resources to primp up, and I could wrap it around my hair when I slept so I wouldn't get bedhead (or, if I didn't have a bed, would that make it bushead?). Because I care about where my clothes come from and try not to support cruelty to my enslaved brothers and sisters around the world, I have a couple scarves from companies like FashionAble.
Yes! Got to love scarves.
DeleteHave you ever tried an eternity/infinity scarf? Those are my personal favorite kind of scarf.
Thanks for reading!

I never tried a "real" infinity scarf, but a couple years ago I got a tear in a skirt, and I thought that fabric might make good scarf material. So I made the skirt shorter (to get rid of the tear) and used the bottom part I had cut off as a a scarf. I've seen some scarves on Etsy that have a hidden zippered pocket where you can keep money, passport, and little things like that. I hope I can get one someday. It's kind of like having a purse combined with a scarf! (That's another fashion item I love- 2-in-1 items!)
DeleteOh and ps- I'm officially launching my blog at the end of the month (when I buy a domain name and promote it like crazy). If you're interested in guests posts that infuse fashion with travel (either you guest post on my blog or I guest post on yours), let me know and we can plan something awesome.

Wow! I absolutely love the background in those first pictures! Are they quaking aspens? The closest I've gotten to up there was Colorado, and I remember loving similar looking trees.
ReplyDeleteCute outfit! Palazzo pants were the one thing I didn't get around to buying this summer :(
Lol! Actually, I have no idea what kind of aspen they are!
DeleteNever asked I suppose.
You should look at your local Rue 21 (if there's one near you) they have them super cheap right now!
Blessings,
Natasha
Ah! I've only been there once and totally never thought to look for palazzo pants there. Thanks for the tip!
DeleteBoots are my go-to shoes for winter, they're so stylish and versatile! My absolute favorite boots are Frye brand. While they're definitely on the pricey side (although you can sometimes find them on a decent sale at Macy's), they are the most comfortable boots you'll wear - I actually liked mine so much that I bought another pair in black!
ReplyDeleteAlso, they last a while. I'm on my third season with mine, and they still look great.
Good to know. I will definetely check into some Frye boots. My sister actually suggested the same brand too!
DeleteHave a fantastic weekend,
Natasha
Adorable outfit...I want to get myself a pair of those pants! As for boots, there are a couple I recommend. I have a super warm and comfortable pair of fur boots like these: http://www.overstock.com/Clothing-Shoes/Journee-Collection-Kids-Huffy-Buckle-Accent-Faux-Fur-Boots/7279855/product.html?refccid=LEGB3VKIXT63VBCDNGSFENUPQI&searchidx=8. I normally wear these in the house because it gets really cold in the winter. For "out of the house" occasions I often wear these boots: http://www.amazon.com/Steve-Madden-Womens-Tyller-Black/dp/B001YQFPTK?SubscriptionId=AKIAJ3A6J57CDVH7TH5Q
ReplyDeleteHope this helps a little! :)
Thank you for the suggestions, I'll be sure to check them out!
DeleteIn Christ,
Natasha
I just realized you can find expensive cowboy boots (aka Justin, Dans post) lightly used for pretty inexpensive. I already found a pair for my self, They are Justins, and GORG! just don't bid on them, okay? He He!

:) thanks for sharing! I'm hesitant to spend more on boots for the same reason as you-alas, my feet are complaining...what can you do? Plus my family has a history of bad feet, so I'm sort of aiming for preventative medicine.
ReplyDeleteNatasha
Cute pants, they look so comfy! Regarding boots, one kind I like is Woman Within/Jessica London/Roaman's, which are all under one big family brand. I don't know what shoe size you are, but I like them cause I wear larger sizes and they go up to 12. Sad thing is their boots only come in wide-calf, so if you don't need that they might be kind of big. Their booties obviously don't have that problem, and they're super cute! Price range for all the boots is usually between about $50-$70, though I just bought a pair of booties on sale for $28. They aren't the best quality regarding materials, but they're much better and more comfortable than most Target, Forever 21, etc. boots.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this helps? Hope you find a great brand soon!
