Thanks for 100 Followers + Forgotten OOTD #1

(Technically-- it's 105, as of this morning. Haha.)  Thanks so much to all my followers! ♥♥ I truly appreciate when anyone takes tot time to even glance at my blog, much less, read it or Follow it.

In the future I'll strive to:  1.) learn how to do legitimate makeup, 2.) actually acknowledge/post all those blog awards I've received, and 3.) somehow make my blog more interesting/diverse.  (That or officially name it as a circle lens review-based blog...)

(Forgotten) OOTD: Surprise Dentist Trip

It was a very, very brisk day in late August (8 months ago), and I was suddenly summoned from the depths of a truly relaxing sleep by my cell phone ringing. The time? The ass-crack of dawn approximately 6:15 AM.  The caller?  My mum; she wanted me to come in to her office to get that last filling in that last molar.  

I had to get there in half an hour..... what?! But I can't possibly go through my entire morning routine that quickly!  

Needless to say, I did.  o.o  Here's what ended up happening with this hastily thrown together outfit. (Nothing too exciting, really. Haha.)

(Yikes....my thighs. D: )


The coat + scarf (+ gloves)



The boots~♥


My 'FOTD' + 'HOTD'

(That's right--- no makeup and a plain bun. 8] Laziness~.)
(And yes, I did a shoddy job of PSing my 'woken up early' eye bags. Haha)

Coat: H&M;  Scarf: Charlotte Russe;  'Jeggings': Sears;  Boots: Macy's
Circle Lenses: G&G GBT/BT Violet

So yeah, there you go: a surprise visit to my mum's dental office essentially means I put on the nearest, matching pieces of clothing and go bolting out the front door. Haha. Still, I don't think it turned out too badly, yeah?

OOTD: Best Friend's 21st B-day

The title says it all: I went out last night for one of my best friend's 21st birthday. :]  (We and a few friends walked about a half mile into town to a local brewery/restaurant for dinner n' drinks.)

Keep in mind that #1) it was freezing, and #2) we had to walk a good distance. No open-toe, heeled boots like I'd planned. :[   Anyway, on to the actual outfit.

Coat: H&M;  Belt: H&M


Blouse: H&M;  Dress: H&M;  Patterned Tights: ?? (Gift from my mum);  Boots: Macy's


The Dress



Accessories

'Bracelets' (Scrunchies): H&M

Whew~! So there you have it: my first OOTD in a few months. (Oops...)  I have two more prepared to post that I toootally forgot about. (Both are from late summer/autumn.)

Back to this outfit, though....  overall, I feel like it looks 'off'. :/  One part of it is that I don't like wearing tights with this dress, but patterned tights even less so. (I needed them for the warmth, though.) Another would have to be the several shades of black. The shirt and tights are the same black, but they don't match the black on the dress, or the boots. (To be fair... the boots are an ashy, dark brown-black.)  

Luckily, since we went out so late, and the lighting wasn't too great, nobody could really tell any of this about the colours. Huzzah!  : D   And now I'm off to start soaking some new circle lenses I just received....

OOTD: 90° F and Still Trying

Yep.... once it hits, like 85° F (~30° C), I typically stop caring and focus more on surviving without heatstroke. Haha. However, last Thursday, when it was a bit over 90° F, I kinda' tried to put something together. Something I wouldn't burn up in, but didn't look terrible. :D Enjoy~

Tanktop: Wet Seal; Shorts: Charlotte Russe


(I also tried a little sloppy high bun-- inspired by all the fun Asian fashion editorials + magazine spreads and such. I see them a lot whenever I shop on one of the wholesale sites, and even in the 'western world', too. Anyway, below is the clip I used to accent the front of my bun. ♥ )


Hair Clip: Local Weekly Flea Market- Asia Fashion Wholesale 'Shop'



Long Pendant Necklace: Claire's



Flower Belt: Local Weekly Flea Market- Asia Fashion Wholesale 'Shop'


Flats: T.J. Maxx

So there you go, me dressing well in the current (literal) heatwave we're having where I live. I've since halfway given up, which you'll see in the next OOTD that I post. Haha. Get ready... for me being desperate to not overheat, but also, desperate to not look horrid. 8)  Yeahhh~

Anyway, until next time (and I have two jobs now, so who knows when that will be), toodles!
