#2: What to Wear?

Hey hey hey!

I meant to post this waaaaay earlier! You see, I have a job interview tomorrow afternoon, and while I was so busy prepping myself for questions and worrying about what I should bring… I forgot to plan out what I was going to wear.

I won’t say what the job is x__x Maybe after I get it? lol. Or not. I will say that if I get it, I’ll most likely be able to dress Lolita style to work! *__*

Anyway, but my interviewer already knows I have interest in art, fashion, and things like that. She’s expecting someone creative! So part of me is thinking maybe I should try to think outside of the box (just a little?) and, while still being professional- not do the typical black bottoms and white blouse?

Well, I kinda rushed and tossed some things together, but here are some looks I’ve put together, please vote and let me know which you like better!

Outfit #1:  Simple, black pencil skirt and a green button down blouse. I’ll most likely dress up with accessories

Outfit #2: The typical. White blouse, black (pencil) skirt

Outfit #3: Sheer pink blouse with the black peter pan collar and cuffs + Black pencil skirt. Will probably wear those pearls to dress it up.

Outfit #4: Although the typical black/white look, I felt like the pattern top added some flare + White pencil skirt

Outfit #4b: And similar to outfit 4, only the skirt is black.

VOTE HERE:

Also, these are the shoes I’m debating between (depends on which outfit I wear, so it’s really not up for voting hahaha- though I’ll take any suggestions for which shoes you feel will look best with which outfit you like!) Nothing special as you can see hahaha!

Anyway, I’m going to bed now so I can be up extra early and prepared! Goodnight everyone, thanks!

Weekend Thrifting! (2)

I went thrifting again and found some great things.

This time I went some place a little bit closer to me. I think it might be my new favorite thrift store. If anyone in Georgia wants to check it out, it’s located here: 3303 Centerville Hwy, Snellville, GA, 30039 (Goodwill, next to the Ingles grocery store)

This time I spent a total of $33.46 (tax not included) on 8 items.

1.
4 pairs of shorts

2 x denim
1 x tanned(?)
1 x pink gym shorts- the funny thing about these shorts is that they say “GT” on them, I still would have gotten them regardless… but GT stands for Georgia Tech (Georgia Institute of Technology). A school where all of the super duper smarties go. I’m not even trying to front like I went to that school, currently go to that school, or have any plans to go to attend that school lmao! It would be nice if I knew how to remove the logo… anyone know? *shrugs* oh well.
Price: $3.93 each
Brands:  1st (never heard of it, couldn’t even find it with google o.o), Bongo, Paris Blues, Champion

2. 

The REAL color. The flash made it appear lighter in the other photos

A green blouse, it’s really sheer and although it’s long sleeve the fabric makes me think it’ll still be light and airy. And I don’t know if you can see it, but there is a small dotted stain on the front of the blouse. Hopefully it’ll come out.
Price: $4.94
Brands: Courtenay

3. 
A jogging bra! Whatwhat!!! I needed it badly too haha, I…. shrank e_e out of my old one. *sigh*
Price: $2.92
Brands: Champion

4.
Another sheer blouse. I have zero collar shirts like this, I really love it. Had to have it!
Price: $4.94
Brands: Forever21

5.

My most favorite find of them all!! I have to work on the back zipper a little bit, but it’s nothing serious. I initially thought it was a dress (found it on the dress rack), but after trying it on, I was like… no… I’d have to definitely wear short/pants/skirt under this. I love the pattern sooo much. Only problem is I have no clue what shoes to wear with it. Any ideas?
Price: $4.94
Brands: N/A (:( I really want to know where I can find more things like this!!!)

And that’s it. :)

Enjoy your weekend folks!

Outfit of the Day: 4/3/2013

Yo!

So, this was the runner up outfit from the poll here. Unfortunately my “photographer” and I had a little…. dispute recently so, I had to take these photos myself lol. It’s only a few, but I hope you’ll like them anyway.

Nooo, I have no tattoos (and I sure as hell wouldn’t get that, and on my hand- NO!) I drew on my hand out of pure boredom while waiting for my next class to start lol

 

I tried to take a photo with my babies, but they wouldn’t stop trying to jump on me and give me kisses :P lol

 

I have to go to sleep now. I skipped school Monday and missed out on the first part of my English Exam, and now I have to come up to school tomorrow at 6AM to take it (Mind you, I only have classes Monday and Wednesday… this sucks lol.)
So, later!

Weekend Thrifting!

Hey guys! Today I went thrift store shopping! I drove over to Dunwoody/Norcross Georgia (was about a 35 min drive) and visited two stores.
so I just wanted to share the few things that I purchased. I only spent about $25.00.
I feel like the pictures really don’t do my purchases justice though! And they’re wrinkled,  hahaha!

1.
Stretch blue mini skirt, I’m not totally sure what I’ll wear it with just yet, but I know I can come up with something sexy.
Price: $4.94
Brand: Zara Trafaluc

2.
I really liked the patterns on this. It’ll make a good high-waisted skirt with or without a belt around it.
Price: $4.94
Brand: Giorgio Sant’ Angelo

3.
It’s getting warmer, and summer will be here before we know it! I’ve got shorts in green, white, prink, blue- but none in black!  I needed these lol. Hopefully I can find more colors next time.
Price: $3.93
Brand: Forever 21

4.
I thought this blouse was really nice, it’ll look really good tucked into some pants or jeans and matched with some cute accessories.
Price: $4.94
Brand: Apparenza

5.
I loved this blouse when I saw it! It’s kind of sheer and the material feels really nice too. I bet this top was expensive in store!
Price: $4.94
Brand: Banana Republic

I typically don’t look at brands while I’m actually doing shopping (and neither should you :P), but I felt like I should provide the names here just so you can see the kind of deals I’m getting on things that would usually go for 10 times more.

Some Thrift Shopping Tips:

1. Try to get up and out early in the morning. I believe most thrift stores here open at about 8AM and close around 5 or 6PM. You may not think these places would be crowded but trust me, there are people trying to find fashionable things for lower prices just like you are.

2. Wednesdays are usually half off days (at least here in Atlanta), OR they’ll have a half-off deal on certain colored tags (For example: Monday, anything with a yellow tag is 50% off. Thursday, anything with a green tag is, and so on), so don’t be afraid to ask about what color is half-off that day.

3.  Sometimes you aren’t going to always find things in your size. Don’t be afraid to buy things that are in larger sizes. I wear a 2/4. A few items I got were sizes 8/10. Everything doesn’t always have to be tight fitting. And if you really find something you love and want, you can always get it tailored in, or tailor it yourself.

4. Check the MENS racks. You can usually find good (for an over-sized) sweaters, nice denim blouses, and button downs. Again, don’t let the big sizes scare you. You can work it!

5. Explore! Sometimes you may need to travel to a different area of town to find better clothes. You know what I mean? Like, nicer/wealthier communities tend to donate better items to their local thrift stores.

6. When you get home from shopping, wash your new purchases. There is no telling who last wore what you bought or what happened to it. Just give it a good washing.

I’ve decided I’m going to compile a small list of good thrift stores that you can go to here in Atlanta, so be on the look out for that in the near future!
I hope these tips will be helpful to some of you, if you have any questions or more tips feel free to share in the comments section.

Enjoy the rest of your evening~!
