Difficult...

It's getting harder and harder to care about my appearance on the home stretch.  I really think that jeans and a t-shirt every day would just be so great.  Despite these thoughts, I tried to put together cute outfits this week.

I thought I full photographed Monday but I didn't so here's a half photograph:

You can laugh at my She & Him impression minus Him.  Vest Goodwill, top Target and pants made by me. 

Tuesday:

Jacket Colleen collection, pants Goodwill, shoes Fergalicious.

Wednesday:

Sweater Colleen collection (Target), skirt also Target, tank Goodwill and shoes Japan.

Friday:

Tops YesStyle, jeans Colleen collection (Old Navy), shoes Target and necklace Zizibeh.

Apparently it was Target week.  I just realized it now that I wore a lot from Target.  I used to shop there all the time but I've found that their prices are crazy these days.  Even Target is too expensive for me!

I hope everyone had a lovely week.  Let's make it through May!

To report...

Not much to report this week, just two outfits.

Monday:

Top made by me, pants Kohl's, shoes Fergalicious, necklace Payless.

Thursday:

Top Colleen collection (Target), jeans also Target, shoes Kohl's.

Today, I took this funny pic:

Impersonating my favorite lady Zooey D.  Maybe it made you laugh.  :)

I hope you had a good week.  Enjoy your weekend!

Week in review...

I wore some stuff.  Here is that stuff.

Monday:

This is before the hair panic attack.  Dress Uniqlo, leggins Kohl's, shoes Payless, necklace made by me.

Shoes and top Kohl's, pants Wal-mart, necklace Japan.

Grrrrr

I hope you like it here!

And I hope everyone had a nice week.  Mine was exhausting!

Panic attack...

Okay so a couple weeks ago I decided that I should grown out my bangs.  If you've ever grown out your bangs, you know that this is a tedious and sometimes painful process.  THERE IS ALWAYS HAIR IN MY EYES!  I hate this and I know a lot of people do too except maybe emo kids.  I think maybe they enjoy it.  Anyway, tonite I'm kinda of watching TV (kinda means my face is glued computer and the TV is on and I watch it sometimes) and the new iPhone 4S commercial comes on starring Zooey D.  If you know me at all, then you know that she is my idol.  Total idol.  As in I idolize her.  She rocks.  Seriously.  Back to the story, I stopped what I was doing and glued my face to the TV.  I almost cried.  Literally almost tears.  I ripped myself away from the TV and went to the bathroom to cut the hell out of my bangs.  Now before you freak out, I have cut my bangs before and I actually own a pair of hair scissors so I didn't hack at it with the kitchen shears.  They had grown kinda long on one side and my sister trimmed them last week (I think) so it was more a matter of getting them even.  I think I did an okay job considering I've had no formal training.  This is probably the weirdest panic attack ever and I'm a bit embarrassed sharing this with you.

Taken just now.  When did I get so jowly?  Yikes!  Anyway, what do you think?

It's that time of year...

Same thing happens every year around this time and not just to me.  A lot of people stop putting effort into their appearance.  Jeans become the trend.  Many people are exhausted around this time myself included and jeans and a t-shirt just seem so much better at 6:00AM.  That said I only have two outfits for you from this week.  (Not that it matters but it was also a weird week schedule wise.)

Monday:

In afterthought the scarf was a bad idea because I received many a stupid comment.  Scarf Kohl's, shirt Target, pants Goodwill, shoes & necklace Payless.

Thursday:

Sweater, tank and pants from the Colleen collection.  All items originally from Target.

In other news, my sister trimmed my bangs:

And I love Dove:

I hope you had a nice week!

Rough week...

This week was rough and got more turbulent toward the end.  I am just glad the weekend is here.  Tomorrow, Sea and I are painting.  Maybe I'll post some pics later.  Ugh painting.  Anyway, I think this week had its ups and downs fashion wise.  My hair is going through a transformation.  I decided to grow out my bangs but not like grow to length.  Just a different style of bangs.  I really enjoy having bangs and I enjoy my bangs now but it's a lot of maintenance and also I would like a change.

Anyway, on with the fashion.

Monday:

Love this outfit!  Top & pants Colleen collection (Target), boots Kohl's.

Tuesday:

I cropped out my head because my hair was so awful that I took it out in the car.  Ugh.  Top Uniqlo, pants Goodwill, necklace Forever 21, shoes Kohl's.

Wednesday:

The day I brushed my bangs to the side I got like a million compliments.  Shoes Payless, tank H&M, top Apartment Market (Japan), necklace Kohl's.

Thursday:

Shoes & top Japan, tank H&M, necklace Payless and pants Goodwill.

Do we like the hair?  I plan on having it cut to style after it grows out a bit.

I hope you have a nice weekend.  I plan on it by not thinking about this awful week.

Oops sorry...

I had all these notions of updating my blog this week, all of which failed.  I would have done it yesterday but I don't know.  I ate some cream cheese that was a bit past expiration and I think that's what made me deathly ill.  I did eat dinner last night but I was fighting, fighting to keep it down.  I thought it was a good idea too look on Pinterest but everyone's pictures of food made me sicker.  I was in bed all night.  I think also earlier that day I way overdid it.  I was running around doing so much stuff and out in the heat without eating and all that just pushed me off the sickness precipice.  Anyway, I am feeling better now but I've decided to take it easy today.  I want to go to Bookman's and sell some more of my books but I think I'll wait and see what the day brings.  I have a terrible headache and my stomach is still iffy.

Anyway, on to what you came here for...the fashion!

Monday:

On second look, I probably should have worn leggins instead of jeans.  Anyway, dress and shirt from HushHush (Japan), scarf & boots Kohl's, jeans Colleen (Old Navy).

Tuesday:

Shirt & pants Target, shoes Charmant (Japan).

Wednesday:

I love this dress so much.  I don't love that it's linen and wrinkles when you look at it.  Plus, I hate ironing.  Dress Uniqlo, necklace made by me, leggins & boots Kohl's.

Thursday:

I decided not long after putting it on that I don't really like this sweater.  I just don't like the way it looks/fits.  Jeans Colleen (Target), boots Kohl's, sweater (Colleen) & shirt Target, necklace ????.

I want to end with Kit Kats since I went to Japan and I, of course, had to feed (literally) my Japanese Kit Kat obsession.

Here's what I tried:

You're looking at Strawberry, Sakura Matcha and Vanilla Kit Kats.

First of all, Vanilla beats Cheese as my new favorite flavor.  So delicious!  Sakura Matcha was really good too and Strawberry was just okay.

Here's the ever growing list:

Cheese
Almond
Ramune
Berry Pomegranate
Apple Vinegar
Peach
Green Tea
Tiramisu
Wasabi
Vanilla
Sakura Matcha
Strawberry

Brief update on "the freeze."  Greatly resisted Goodwill Sale Day.  The only purchases this weekend were food and gas (necessities).  Good so far.  I'll keep you posted!

I'd like to welcome my new follower: Yunie Gal Circle!  Thanks so much!  I hope you like it here!

I hope you had a nice week and an even nicer weekend.

The freeze...

I have some news for my dear readers.  I'm on a "freeze" until the month of June, a shopping freeze.  The truth is (and I'd never admit this to anyone but my 5 readers of this blog) that I do have a lot of clothes.  I have enough clothes.  I don't NEED any clothes so if I were to buy any clothes from now until June they would be clothes I want and not clothes I need.  There are many things I need to do from now until June and my focus will be primarily on those needs and not my wants.  Therefore, I have made a list of things I need to do and buying clothes is not on that list.  Not to worry dear readers!  I will still be featuring outfits creatively pieced together so just don't freak out if you see a top or skirt you've seen before.  My goal is to try to put together new outfit combinations the likes of which you never seen.  So wish me luck!  In both my endeavors!  Creative outfits and no more shopping!

Just so this isn't all jabbber, here are some of my favorite pics from Japan:

I hope your week is starting off fabulously and I hope the rest of it is equally fabulous.

A week in fashion (Japan)...

I wore some stuff while I was in Japan. 

I really can't remember the days.

This was before I figured out there was a better mirror in the hall.  Jeans Colleen collection (Old Navy), sweater and boots Kohl's, necklace made by me and tank Colleen (Target).

Sweater Kohl's, dress Uniqlo, jeans Colleen (Old Navy) and shoes Charmant in 109.

Sweater & tank, skirt  Goodwill, legwarmers eBay, tights Icing, necklace Forever 21 and shoes Target.

Jumper, shirt & tights Uniqlo, boots Kohl's.

I hope I was fashionable in Japan!

So tired!

Trending now! Live from Japan!

I thought since I'm here (Japan) I thought I'd give you the scoop on what's trendy right now in Japan! 

First, puffy jackets.

I can't say I like this trend but it's everywhere here right now (even on little kids).  This one is not gender specific either.  I will not be purchasing a puffy coat because I am certain that they only look good on skinny Japanese girls.  This is what I'd look like:

Not attractive at all.

Next is the trenchcoat which is the other mega fashionable outerwear design. 

I'm super glad I brought my Old Navy (Goodwill find) trench with me.  I'm so in right now.  ;)

Finally (and I've only seen these everywhere in stores and not on a lot of feets) are creepers.

I've been looking for a pair forever and I finally found a black pair (size L) at 109.

I've already worn them on a walk.  I'm gonna wear them again today.  Love!

So that's the scoop on what's trending in Japan right now.  If I notice more trends I'll blog again.  さよなら！
