| black dress worn as skirt: thrifted :: Joker tee: Hot Topic :: striped cardi: Forever 21:: pink purse: Forever 21 :: red flats: Candie's :: belt: thrifted |
I was so happy today when I donned this cardi. It's finally cool enough to actually wear layers! I was so ecstatic, I celebrated by playing video games all day. Inside. And I mean ALL DAY. I literally parked my butt on the couch and stared at the TV for 6 hours straight, only pausing to grab a glass of water or some watermelon.
I know I'm probably the last one to find out about this, but the game Civilization Revolution is a heck of a lot of fun, like, addicting kind of fun! When I was a kid, I used to love playing strategy games like Warcraft and Starcraft. And I remember really getting into other PC games like Age of Mythology and whatnot when I was in high school. I just love the idea of designing and expanding an empire! It's so thrilling!
But enough of the geek babble. Here's yet another experiment with a different silhouette. I wore the skirt higher than my natural waist, still, but a little lower than last time. Tucking tops in is actually new for me. I am very conscious of my middle area, but I quite like this effect. I think the poofiness of the skirt makes my waist look even smaller.
After I'd indulged in all my nerdness, I set out to buy mozzarella balls for the pizzas that my friends and I were having for dinner. Since I hadn't eaten all day, I was in dire need of some protein goodness. Lo and behold, in the shelf right in front of me were these organic peanut butter covered pretzels, taunting me. Calling out my name. I couldn't get a clear picture of them because I was too excited to eat them. You'll just have to trust me. They were that good.

i think the skirt looks good on you and with the shirt tucked in too! i've been tucking in some shirts with skirts especially if it hides the middle area, but none of my pants seem to do that though :( oh well.
ReplyDeletealso, love the skull bracelet and the purse is adorable!

I love this outfit. It looks a bit messy, but it kinda workds!!
ReplyDeleteHey Laura thanks for dropping a comment on my blog :) Yes you must give Kiehl's a try! It will do wonders in moisturizing the skin around your eyes. And its good to hear someone who agrees with me on the Moraccanoil! Def not worth the hype.
ReplyDeleteYou look like a ROCKSTAR in this outside. It's got a little edge but it's still sweet and awesome!
ReplyDeleteProbably just like those pretzels. I would like 20 of those, in my mouth. RIGHT. NOW.
Laura, once again I love how you've used a dress as a skirt! I would never have known! The stripped cardi rocks, especially paired with the graphic tee. You look adorable!
ReplyDeleteYou're a lady after my own heart! Nothing beats staying inside on a cold, wintry day playing video games. I used to obsess over Civilizations: Rome. I remember dreaming about how to build up my towns. Now a nice first person shooter is the business for me! Anyway, I like your sassy little outfit :)
ReplyDeleteLove it.. not over done and it is different and playful!
ReplyDeleteLove! ~Angel
love your tee! never seen such an interesting tee before! the colors are insane! fabulous how you have styled it with that uber romantic dress! looks good

Such a cute outfit!! I can not wait till its cool enough for light layers. I have so many cardigans on my wishlist right now. Striped ones, being on the top!
ReplyDeletewhen i clicked the link to ur new post and the first pic popped out. i fell head over heels on the skirt. :D
ReplyDeletethose peanut butter pretzels sure looks good!
ReplyDeletecute outfit! especially the skirt! i love skirts that are poofy too, or anything that flares out because it gives me an illusion of a smaller waist area as well. i have a boyish figure, so no curves at all -__-
You look like a cute little punk rocker :) hmmm pretzels
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit. The tiered skirt is so pretty and feminine, but then your tee does make it a little more punk. Great look.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment!!
ReplyDeletewow! this outfit is amazing I love the pop in that blue belt! your challenge is going along so fabulously girl! =]
ReplyDeleteP.S. thanks so much for all the sweet comments

Loving the badass bows and now I want dessert!
ReplyDeleteHiii. I have been a horrible blogger... Hehe. But oh my goodness. I swear I'm addicted to tucking my shirts in. I almost feel uncomfortable if they aren't. Love how it looks on you-especially with the teal belt :D
ReplyDeleteI love the tiered skirt and I am conscious with my middle area too. I'm dead serious with losing weight the natural way but looking at those pretzel makes it so dang hard. :)
ReplyDeleteYour pink handbag is the cutest!!!
ReplyDeletexo
LOVE IT! your have the teeniest itty bitty waist EVER you should LIVE IN BELTS!
ReplyDeletei adore your pink quilted bag for bow so bleepin' cute!
UM, hellllooo, tiny waist! see comment on previous post! LOVE that skull bracelet.
ReplyDelete[oomph.]
How fun is this outfit? And you're killing me with those red flats. And those pretzels :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. You're always so kind about my photographs, Laura! Your comments never fail to put a smile on my face. In all honesty, I just point the camera at something (focus if I need to) and click away. I really doubt that you fail at it! You mentioned something once about having a Hello Kitty fisheye camera (squueeee)? Keep practicing with that; I'm sure you'll get some really cool results. My favorite film to experiment with in new cameras is Fujicolor 200. It's relatively cheap and I like it so much that I use it more regularly now. I haven't developed my own film in a realllly long time. I took a photography course in high school which was very informative and lots of fun, but that was the last time I was in a darkroom.
Ahh this is a cute punky-esque outfit! I really like the pop of colours coming from different places!
ReplyDeleteclever title :) your waist looks lovely and the skirt perfectly flatters you. I like this edgy and sweeet mixup. the peanut butter pretzels look so mouthwateringly good.
