OOTD: Neon Colors & Studded Wedge Boots Edition

Top: Domino Dollhouse (1X – $49.99)
Skirt: Domino Dollhouse (1X – $18.99)
Belt: Fab (M/L – $12.00)
Boots: Just Fab (9 – $49.95)
Necklace: im your present (OS – $12.00)

This is my all time favorite OOTD from last year. Luckily, I still have the outfit(!!) though I gifted the shoes to my friend before moving (they ran a little small) and the skirt no longer fits me (I'm pretty sure the belt will also be way too tight now). Wompwomp. I'm glad I have these pictures though cos I adore this outfit.

So far, I've finished three(ish?) things from my September Goals list. I haven't touched my eyebrows (you guys won't believe how bushy they are already, I might need to take a photo or suck it up and do a FOTD), finished Stone Angel, started taking my newest medication, and made funfetti brownies (blog post to follow sometime this week). Tomorrow I'm hoping to make an appointment to see my physician, which in turn will get me my optometrist appointment (hooray for the medical system here!). I need to keep playing with my new camera and will find out tomorrow if I still have enough money this month to get Urban Decay's Vice 2 palette along with the YSL lipstick I want. Even if I can't afford the lipstick (Vice 2 is limited edition, so that's higher up on my shopping list now), I did choose what color I wanted and that's more or less what I was afraid I couldn't get done because I'm the absolute worst at making decisions. Hooray!



Sorry not sorry the top is see-through!

OOTD: Ooh La Leopard & Spikes Edition

Dress: Asos (14 – $30.18)
Cardigan: Target (L – $19.99)
Belt: Kohl’s (M/L – $21.00)
Necklace: Good Will (OS – $9.00)
Shoes: Beyond The Rack (9 – $39.99)





This is another one of my outfits from mid-2012. Could you tell cos my hair looks super different?! Good. This is another dress that was too big for me at the time and I got rid of it before moving to Japan. Ugh. I make awful choices. Also, I'm mildly obsessed with leopard prints (my husband hates it) and I thought "What if I made an outfit with so much leopard print?" and this was the awesome result of that.

September Goals update:
I went to make the funfetti brownies and noticed that all we had was olive oil. Not the best for baking, in my opinion. So last commissary visit, I picked up some canola oil! Hooray! Hopefully I'll get makin' these this week.
On the military spouse facebook page for the base I live on, I asked for the phone number to make an optometry appointment and apparently I have to go in and see my primary care physician before making an appointment with the optometrist. COOL. Story of my life.
BUT I haven't plucked my eyebrows this month (except for the middle part), so there's one thing that's on track!

OOTD: Pyramid Ring & Rockin’ Bones Edition

I'm bringing it back to June 2012 with this OOTD. My mom took these pictures. Thanks, Mom!

I realized that I didn't upload my older outfits when I switched over to blogger and I really like them, and maybe you guys will too so here's the first one! Plus, I had a slammin' bod back then. Js.

Dress: Domino Dollhouse (1x – $69.99)
Petticoat: Domino Dollhouse (1x – $49.99)
Belt: Betsey Johnson (M/L – $20.00)
Ring: Domino Dollhouse (OS – $5.99)
Necklace: Shoe Privee (OS – Free with purchase of shoes!)

I'm actually really bummed because before I moved to Japan, I got rid of this dress since it didn't fit as nicely as I wanted it to and now I miss it (especially since it would fit me better now that I've gained weight). Womp womp.

A few days ago, I decided that I'm going to stay on a regular awake/sleep schedule even though Ryan (the husband) is on night shift right now so I can actually take pictures when the sun is out and actually blog. You're welcome. Haha. I'm still really tired and I'm not sure if it has to do with not sleeping well or if it's more of a depression/anxiety thing. Either way, I promise that I'll get some pictures done for the blog soon! I'm still figuring out my new camera, but I can always fall back on my Sony if for some reason when I go to take swatch pictures next (spoiler alert), the Canon won't let me take pictures. I may post a few more OOTDs from last year, so I hope that's okay with you guys!

Woo! I really hope that that paragraph was readable. I'll leave you with a picture that I didn't think would have my face in because the picture was supposed to be of the ring/dress pattern, but my face was totally in it.

OOTD: Femme Power & Cat Life Edition

Dress: Eshakti // Similar (XL16 - $69.95)
Jacket made into a Vest: Target // Similar (XXL - $10.48)
Boots: PLNDR (10 - $39.99)
Buttons: Modern Girl Blitz
Necklace: The Tiny Hobo (OS - $15.00)

These photos were taken after doing a bunch of errands in 90+ degree weather and sporadic rainfall, so my hair is super wacky. Don't judge me! :3

 My husband is such a trooper, taking photos of me! He's not a pro, but he gets it done and I totally appreciate it. I totally wish he would have told me that my vest had flipped on one side though in the only body shot he took, womp womp.

Now, I want to tell you about this awesome dress, guys! My first purchase from Eshakti was hit and miss, and this dress was the hit. I love how it fits me and that there are pockets... Pockets. Any dress that has pockets gets an immediate one-up on other dresses, in my opinion. Also, on the underside of the dress straps, there's a strip of fabric sewn on with a button, (I feel like that's not an accurate way to describe it at all) so you can button your bra strap to it! Oh man, I was so excited when I realized it had that feature especially since the dress straps were a bit too large, but once I hooked my bra strap up it fixed that problem. No strap-slippage for me!

I was FINALLY able to order a new camera after over a month of trying. First there was that whole QVC debacle, then I saw that Amazon couldn't ship it out here, then when I tried to order it directly from the NEX website so I could just get it shipped to my local NEX, my local NEX wasn't one of the options. Ugh. My husband and I checked at the NEX before all of this and they don't have the T5i in stock. There was the option to get one transferred from Yokosuka if that NEX had one in stock, so we filled out a form the other day and were later called to be told that they didn't carry it either. So then it took four tries on my local NEX's website, but the order finally went through! I don't think I'm going to believe it until the camera actually arrives, but once it does I will be so excited. I can finally retire my (technically, it's my husband's since he's had it for many years, but you know that whole "what's mine is yours" mindset...) super old, out of date Sony Cybershot. I might even be able to post quality photographs! I know, I know, it's nuts!
...And I can start doing videos! Hooray! Watch out, YouTube, here I come!



Anyway, that was my long rambly post. Do you guys like it when there's more than just "here's what I'm wearing and where to get it" or do you prefer my old straight and to the point OOTD posts?
