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.
I hope you're all doing wonderfully, and I'll talk to you soon ^_^

Wow! That's a huge Ulta eyeshowdow set!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, the next time you do your eyeshadow, since you have brown eyes, try out the purple/dark pinks in your set. Put a lighter shade on your lid, a darker shade along the crease, and a white right underneath the arch of your brow. It should really bring out the wonderful color of your eyes!
Also, the outfit isn't the most flattering thing for your body type. You have a wonderful waist that you can see throughout your blog, but the outfit is overwhelming you. Both the skirt and the top are "main pieces," and make the outfit too busy when they're together. Maybe the halter top with a nice, black, tailored skirt; or the tie-dye skirt with a blouse that matches the pink in your skirt? Try making the outfit draw attention to you, not drawing attention to itself. :)
