AHOTC: Denim and Lace

Last week I was searching for the perfect dress for an upcoming wedding. I have a hard time finding a dress because I am so tall. I am 1.83 centimeter or 6 feet tall with a long torso. The problems I run into are  that the dresses often are way too short. And I know myself, I wont wear a dress more than once. Especially if it is a formal dress. I don't go to many occasions so the dress has to be versatile.

                 dress/top - Ross (annabelle)* jeans - Torrid * bag - Melrose *shoes - old navy

When I walked into my Ross (dress for less) I found this cute blue dress, I instantly fell in love, the color is so vibrant and I just looooove the lace sleeves. It covers my arms and yet it shows some skin. But as you can see this dress is way to short to wear with some tights.



I decided to buy it anyway and paired it up with my Torrid skinny jeans. Those jeans are my favorite all time! It gives me a nice booty and the color is beautiful too. The blue of the jean is fading on the knees but I kinda like that! The other thing that i like about it is that the skinny part still is skinny!



This day we went out to a restaurant to eat some lunch and I didn't want to go over the top with hair and make-up. I recently dyed my hair this auburn color and I love it so far. I matches my skin tone better than the brown/blonde did. I kept the make-up simple, just some earth tones with a hit of red on the lips.

OOTD: Flowers on a Sunday

Hola!!! Long time no see.. Its been two weeks now. Wow... I just couldn't find the inspiration to write. Writers block? That early in the game?! I had to break that cycle!

I didn’t want to leave the house yesterday. I just wanted to stay inside and watch my shows. But after a few hours I decided that I still wanted to run a few errands.

You know that feeling that you just want to doll yourself up? That feeling combined with needing to take pictures for my blog is a perfect combination.

A while back I was cleaning out my closets (with boxes from when we moved.) and I came across this skirt that I bought at a thrift store. I thought the print was really cute and kind of edgy, it is a skirt that normally wouldn’t wear. I decided to pair it with a tee from H&M. The Tee is way to short to wear it by itself so prefect to go with this skirt. I also found this belt in the box and paired it up with this outfit. It is totally out of my comfort zone cause I don’t wear prints like this on the bottom (or top!).  

I’m stepping more and more out of my comfort zone. I don’t care is my motto. Or hipsters would say YOLO! 

Skirt: Thrifted 24W

Tee: H&M BB 2x

Leggings: JMS 2x

Belt: Thrifted 

Shoes: Old Navy

Bracelets: Made my me

The pictures we take are in the courtyard of our apartment complex hence the waterhose in the pictures haha. At first I was hesitant to ask R. if he could take my pictures. I always had that awkward feeling, not knowing how to pose, what if I look weird in pictures.

But my blog is something that I want. And if other people don’t like it, that’s their problem not mine!! haha!

I love this dress, when I saw it hanging on the rack I knew we would be 'besties'.

It is so out of my comfort zone but I love it! I am not a big fan of prints and patterns but I have come to appreciate them more and more. I like that it is black and white. The only issue I might have is that it won’t look good on me in the wintertime. Right now I have a tan from the perfect California weather, but in the wintertime I could be part of the corpse! 

I chose this dress cause it represents me. I am young, fun and fat!

                               Dress: Ross 3x - Leggings: JMS 2x - Shoes: Thrifted
                               Belt: Torrid        -            Hair piece and earrings: F21

Who would've thought that I would wear a dress like this, few years ago I didn't like to wear leggings and as of today I want to live in them! I don't like to show my arms, but this is a new era, so what the heck! We go all out in this post. 3 things that I am uncomfortable with are exposed. 

Arms, legs and hair up!
