block party

if you've picked up a magzine lately, its obvious that color blocking is very much in this season. i decided to try it out with my outfit today, and i really liked it!

My shirt is from Target

My belt is from Goodwill

My pants are thrifted

what im loving in my closet...

Denim;; demin everythinggg! shirts, vests, and of course jeans. lately ive been trying to buy jeans with cool washes and higher-waisted fits. i went to the thrift store the other day and bought two pairs of levi's (my fav); one is a light wash, and the other is a meduim-darkish one. im going to bleach the ligher pair and cut them up, and im going to make the other pair into shorts...i think. i might change my mind. i also have these pants which i loveee that are pin striped and kinda faded...and theyre baggy! until i take full control of my weight, im refusing to wear tight jeans-- only leggings and baggy/boyfriend fits. or harem pants, which im wearing today :]

My moccasins;; everyone should own a pair of moccasins!! whether they be the classic type or boot type, they seriously are the best shoes ever. sooo comfy, and they go with just about anything because of the neutral color. i wear these bad boys allll the time. love, love, love.

My bag;; the one i have on is from target. I love it for soo many reasons. firstly, the adjustable strap. i usually wear it as a cross-body, but every now and then ill shorten it and just wear it under my arm. then, its big enough to double as a backpack. and the color goes with everyyyything. i got three more similar to it when i went to the thrift store the other day-all neutral colors :]

Vintage and feather jewelry;; big stones, porcelain, pearls, gold...the bigger the better. and broaches and pendants!! ahh yess. i got a handful when i went thrifting. and feathers just make me happy.

Lace tights and shorts;; as you can clearly see in my previous post. :]

Combat boots;; because they honestly go with EVERYTHING.

Aztec and native american prints;; because sometimes i like to pretend im a navajo indian. also evident in my previous post. i always make sure to wear moccasins whenever i have on that type of print :P

the better picture...

...of my nanny outfit.

nanny-inspired.

Ok so the plan was to post up the video of this particular episode of the nanny so yall could see where I got my outfit inspiration from, but whoever posted it on youtube diabled embedding :[

So all I have to offer is this low-quality screen shot, haha, and the link to the actual video:

[grandma yetta is on the left, for you non-nanny viewers]

This is one of my all time favorite shows! I watch it every night whenever I'm home, and I hate that I dont have a tv up here to watch it :[ Anywho, lately as Ive been watching it, Ive been paying alot more attention to the outfits Fran and the other characters wore on the show. A lot of them are outrageous, but some of them are extremely cute! I remember watching this particular episode late one night over christmas break, and I saw yetta and thought, "that is a bomb ass outfit!". At the time I had everything but the black and white stripped bottoms, which I just bought up here a few days ago! :D &&Thus, my outfit came together like this...

I'll take better pictures later on tonight :]

I love boobies!

Ever since Ive gotten addicted to tumblr, Ive been exposed to all these non-mainstream brands that Id never heard of or seen people wear...atleast not in nashville. I come up here, &&people have on supreme &&dirty ghetto kids &&johnny cupcakes &&mttm...&&Im sittin here like shit, let me step my game up!! Im about to order from ALL them hoes...when I get some mula :] Like im really into all these brands, especially kab [keep a breast] &&mttm [married to the mob] :D

&&Here's some johnny cupcake...

&&DGK [please take no offense...I know someone will though. lmao]

new sense of styleee.

So since Ive been here at howard, Ive already done quite a bit of shopping for my wardrobe. Id said in an earlier post how excited I was about moving to a new place, &&how easy it would be to change up my style. Im already starting to dress differently and trying out new styles. I love it! So here are my current style obsessions that Im into:

• Oversized; I loveee oversized shirts. I have a little pudge, &&I love the fact that an oversized shirt covers it up, while still looking cute! Usually Ill wear an oversized or off the shoulder shirt with leggings or shorts. Plus, its super comfy!
• Midriff tops; They're coming back in style, if you couldnt tell. The girls up here liveee in them hoes. Back home, I never saw a girl rock one, but up here its a daily sight. I love it! Its so old school. Only thing is, its not for everyyybody, lmao. Ive actually done it once though! My 'will work for shoes' shirt shrunk in the wash a while back, so its superr short and wide. I didnt think Id ever wear it again, but I brought it with me up here anyway...&&now I wear it as a midriff! But because of my pudge, I wore it with a high waisted mini skirt...yall saw the pictures in my post a while back. Im loving this new trend.
• Army-esque wear; Dark greens, khakis, &&more blacks are slowly creeping into my closet. I love the whole military look...yall saw my pics a few days ago with my army nurse shirt on...i wore it with khaki shorts and my black toms. I just bought some khaki skinnys, a dark green button up, and a dark green skirt yesterday also. &&With my buzz cut sides, I really feel legit when I dress like that :P
• Nautical colors; Red, navy, and gold are my favorite colors to wear these days. Stripes are a must! I wear my red and navy keds with everything. Gold buttons are like my weakness-if I see something with them then I must buy it. I think I posted a picture of me with my red cardigan with the gold buttons &&my navy dress and red keds and gold jewlery? Yea, thats like one of my favorite outfits. Loveee!
• Sweatshirts; I loveee sweatshirts, &&they will definately be a must for the harsh winter months here in dc. I have a hello kitty one, a smiley face one, a snoopy one, and one that says peace...I think thats it. They're so comfy :]
• Hats; So I was in h&m yesterday, &&while my friends were checking out, I tried on a teal hat from the mens dept, just messing around. But when I looked in the mirror, I loved how it looked on me! Not only that, but when I showed ashley, she said the same, &&two random dudes also said they liked that look on me....so I bought it. &&Wore it the rest of the night. Ayana said I looked poppin :P. I like the look on me, so Im gonna buy more and start wearing them! I really want a snapback when I get my money up :] But until then, these $6 hats from h&m will do just fine :D
• Oxfords; I dont have any yet, but I NEED some in my life. I saw the cutest pair at urban outfitters yesterday-they were leapord print!! They didnt have my size though, so I was bummed :[

Yea, thats basically it. Im slowly becoming addicted to clothing...not a good thing. Well, I guess its not tooo bad :D

addiction.

i was really feeling myself.

I really loved my outfit today! It was so simple, but I just thought it was cute! So here it is....sorry my pics are so ratchet. :P

The dress is one of the ones I showed you guys on my last vlog about my tjmaxx purchases-the denim one with the big pockets. It didnt come with a belt, but had huge belt loops so I put on my favvvorite belt; a black, gold-studded belt from goodwill :D. My shoes are gladiator babyphat's from marty&&liz, which by the way is one of the BEST places to buy shoes, seriously find one near you and check it out!

goodwill hunting.

So when I slept over Shels hosue the other day, we took a trip to goodwill, and I found some amazing pieces!

A hot pink blazer [for those who follow Dulce Candy, you may remember her outfit post with that pink blazer...bawwwse] &&two belts. I especially like the studded one :] Im so happy with my finds! Just needa figure out where imma rock that blazer...hmm.

&&Of course we had to get some crazy pictures in...[that was NOT the outfit I actually had on. Hah!]

&&Here are just a few of me with the blazer on. Disregard mah hurrr.

we sail the ocean blue...

Another goodwill outfit :]
