Dresden Dolls Inspired
Wow! It's been a while since I updated. This is a black dress I got in Florida this summer--found at a goodwill! I get the cutest stuff there. -grins- It's a gorgeous halter with ruching down the middle and ruffles at the bottom. If you aren't a stick figure, it's great because it flatters your curves.
Last night I had the idea to wear an outfit like the girl from Dresden Dolls. Really talented band, and I was in a goth mood. I put my hair up (she has short hair) and kept it messy to give it the same edge. I love my black and white striped tights, too. Those were from Hot Topic ages ago.
Whenever I dress very goth, I feel sexy. I don't know what it is about the way it looks, but if you can get the right amount of frill with the dark elements, I just love it. I didn't even have to put on any jewelry to pull this together, while usually I feel compelled. It was very fun to wear this all day, so I hope this inspires you as well. Much love!

Outfit for Campaigning AND Makeup
Hey sweeties, I wanted to show you how I dressed up for my political campaign interview. When the video goes up, I'll post it, but here are the pics. I bought this halter from Dillards, and it's an absolutely lovely shade of purple with sheer black lace over it. The designs are kind of flowery or leaf-like, and the tie around the left of my neck is silky and soft. It's just gorgeous. My hubby looked on the tag just now, and it says "Soulmates." Aw, so cute! I adore that name ^-^
The skirt is something I made myself. It's this tie-dye inspired fabric that I picked up from Joanns, and it's orange fading into pink. Two of my fave colors! I wanted to wear something bright, since most politicians just look like stuffy old people. My outfit screams fun and style! Not "I'm going to lie to you and you'll believe me because I look just like everybody else."
My leggings are nice because it'll probably be chilly.
The Glove: I bought this at Hot Topic, and it's this really cute pink, fingerless and knuckle-less glove with a heart cut-out. There's a little button to get it secured on. I wear this for all my campaign adventures, because it's my signature. I'm all about love and freedom and I think pink is just the greatest. I painted my nails a pale pink, too. Too cute!!

I'm not sure where the belt came from, but I put it on just to give the outfit that gothy edge I always want to have.
Guess what? I acutally used makeup today. It's been a while, but I of course went really light and bright. I started with a foundation to even out my skin, then put blush on the apples of my cheeks. After that I just used the eyeshadow in the upper left corner of this box from ULTA, and I was done!
There's a kitty in the background, that's Sairah. Here is how I put on my makeup, and I think it came out beautiful. I also decided to put my hair up. I stuck a clip underneath the back of my hair, clipping it to the underside of it, then let it fall over and hide it. My bangs were cut in Florida, done by myself as usual. I've only had a few professional haircuts in my life, because I just love my hair and I love cutting it myself. Saves a ton of money.

Modern Retro Day
Hello loves, I was MIA this morning/afternoon because I finally finished a project I'd been working on the past few weeks. I wrote a psychology novel, and I'm super excited because I finished today. All it needs is a readthrough where I add/correct things, then I will copyright it and sell it! I'm so proud of myself! I already have ideas for my next books, so it'd be really awesome if I were a published author.
This is the outfit I wore today. Let's start with the accessories! The long silver chain necklace with the ring on the end is a piece of jewelry that really means a lot to me. An old friend of mine gave this to me, and etched these symbols on the ring--it took him a long time since it's metal! They aren't symbols anyone but the two of us and maybe a few other people if he told anyone would be able to decipher, but it basically means "balance." I went through a really rough childhood that didn't get better until I was 18 and moving away, so I used this through high school (when he gave it to me) to remind me that someone cared. I really miss my friendship with him and whenever I think about him, there seems to be a hole where he used to be and it hasn't gone away because I care an awful lot for him. He was a major influence on my life, and helped me be the great person I am today. I truly looked up to him.
The shorter chain necklace with the rock was a gift from Nate; he made it for me! He's seriously my fave designer. Wayyyy better than any other, so put that in your pipe and smoke it, Chanel! Lol, I have nothing against Chanel, but Nate is definitely superior. If he opened a store of clothes and jewelry he made, he'd rise to fame in an instant--my prediction.
Do you remember the black button-up dress I'm wearing? It can be used as a dress or a long cardigan, and they were in style a couple years ago. I'm bringing it back! I bought this in Southern CA at a little store I can't remember the name of. So cute. Brand is Chesley.
I'm wearing it over a basic gray tank top, which is by Hanes. It's really roomy and soft, and like I said tanks are great for layering like this. Definitely get some cheap tanks at least, because they can be dressed up very cutely.
My jeans are probably the best ones I have. They're from Choice at the mall here. Made by Just U.S.A. I can't wait to go on my shopping excursion. We are tentatively setting the date for August 21st-ish at the big mall in Sacramento, so I hope I'll have a ton of cute new stuff to show you guys.
Tomorrow I'll probably tie up the loose ends with my story, and the day after that I have an interview for my political campaign (I'm running for an office in CA that I'm not going to win,) but by Sunday I should be able to write or vlog something great. I hope I'll at least have another short update like tonight.
Thought of the day:
Just stop killing people and stop using violence. Just stop. You don't have to do it, peaceful solutions work much better and don't MURDER innocent people.
