I Was On the News! + Walmart 'Haul'

Conflicting topics in the title, I know. Haha. :] However, they shall both be covered in this post.  Let's go over them in the order that they're listed.  My being on the news first.

Okay, so last Tuesday or so I was interviewed by a reporter for a part in a segment on circle lenses, which the American media has declared a 'new trend'. (Cue eye roll.)  The story premiered that very night, and as so, I was featured on the nationally broadcast (in the U.S.)  CBS Evening News with Katie Couric. :] Cool stuff, ya'll. Cool stuff. 

And I guess it gave a bit of credit to that 'Circle Lens Guru/Expert' title that was floating around the Soompi CL forum for the longest time. Haha.



(If you can't see that video, it should work, here. Sorry it's divided up, though. :/ )

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

They got a few facts wrong (price range for my lenses = $10-$25 shipped, not $20 to $30 a pair), most notably how long I've been wearing them (only 1 1/2 years, not 3 years). Overall, though, this was one of the fairer reports on the national news about circle lenses. :/

Walmart 'Haul' 

Up until I needed to find a cheap pair of black sneakers for my job at Wendy's, I'd never really bought anything at a Walmart or been particularly interested in doing so. However, with some sweet deals on their 'clearance' racks, and a need for a new work uniform for less than $20, it seemed like it was a good day to browse the collection.  So here's what I got, along with the price(s).

Miley & Max T-shirt; $1

Miley & Max T-shirt; $1

Miley & Max T-shirt; $1

Miley & Max Plaid Blouse; $14

Twilight T-Shirt; $1

(Haha- it's for an inside joke with my sis [she got the other t-shirt with Edward on it]. I'm not a fan of the Twilight series-- sorry to any fans~.)

And yes, there's a colour theme with the first few shirts: a lot of red. Oh, and a bit of an anglophilic theme, too. Eh, I'll try to buy t-shirts centered on other nations next time, I suppose. ;P ) Moving on to the other pieces...

Black Jeans (I forget the brand...); $7

(Part of my work uniform, awesomely enough. ♥)

So there ya' go!  One of the cheapest clothing hauls ever, and a bit of good news from me! :D  See you next time with a lens review you'll be sure to love. ;]

Buying Into a Trend: Big Plaid Shirts~

Dilemma: I don't have all too defined a waist, and I feel as though I have broad shoulders.  Bigger dilemma: I love the look of loose shirts; fobby style all the way! I've always especially liked the loose plaid blouses. You know, the overlong plaid tops? Everyone else always makes them look so easy to wear, but usually, the whole thing just looks wonky on me. 

Luckily, I finally found one whose fit I like. : D  Thanks to Max Azria (and supposedly Miley Cyrus) for a sweet line of plaid tops. ♥

(Weird art because my actual face was weird enough. Haha.)

Above is the medium top which I like singly by itself, but beloooww...

...is the large size.  I like the large because, #1- it feels more fobby, and #2- I can unevenly button it for that slightly rumpled look which I also love. 

So... I haven't actually bought the shirt yet, but I will once I can choose one of the sizes. C:  I'll also need a good pair of skinnies, and to figure out how to wear a belt with a blouse. 

Huh... maybe this will actually take a bit of work...
