OOTD: Fooseball!

Its been a long time!

2 Outfits today, I totally dropped the ball on blogging, but I have been working out like a fiend and eating totally right on weight watchers and I weigh in tomorrow! I am a little nervous but I think I should have lost a bit..
Anyway, the first I wore to dinner with my man.







Jacket shrug from DOTS, Top from TORRID via Fatshionxchange, denim skirt from FAITH21 and clogs from GIRLYSALES on LJ.





dress from TORRID by way of fatshionxchange, belt from TORRID, shoes from FOREVER21, vest from URBAN OUTFITTERS

OOTD: Gray dress!

God i love this dress.
This dress if from faith21 and it was like 17 bucks and I have definitely gotten over 17 dollars worth of wear out of it.

I wore this to not do anything particularly important!




I got this precious little cropped moto jacket thingy at dots yesterday for 18 bucks!Its labeled new look, in the new look logo.


I wore it with my f21 studded flats. I am very pleased these will be sticking around.



Amazing dots ring, for 8 bucks!


I worked out this morning! Day 1, round 2! After this week, I will be purchasing these sexy sexy SEXY booties. Fuck yeah!

I went a little crazy yesterday at dots... :( a dress, the jacket, 2 rings, and a pair of panties. Mom also got me a shapewear. I like it actually! It just makes the material of some dresses lay better on me. I am pretty pleased!

Alright.

So apparently I need short term goals to keep myself in any sort of program.

SO IM GOING TO START AGAIN!

I am going to do what I did in the beginning to get myself back into blogging, and set a 7day goal for myself.

I just finished 7 days of working out (Jillian Michaels 30 day shred level 1)because I would LOOOVE to start school august 26th as a size 20 vs. a size 22. At my height and with my body proportions I feel like a 20 is where I am better suited. I have not been able to complete level 1 the way I would like to (Mostly I am doing push ups on my knees, and I don't do jumprope when it comes to cardio. I.Fucking.Hate.Jumprope.) so I am going to do another straight 7 days of JM30DS, on a no buy. I allowed myself to buy one top and one coat this weekend for completing this one week and shopping seems to be the only incentive that works. I am going to add to this week by making it so I have to NOT do the push ups on my knees (if this means I do less, so be it.) and I cannot skip jump rope! I will also be adding "No fast food" to this week. Since that seemed to bite me in the ass this week.

Alright, onwards! I will also be blogging one OOTD, every day, for 7 days. I also have 7 days, to present 2 DIY projects, and 1 giveaway, ON TOP of JM30DS or I cannot purchase anything for 7 more days :) Doing things in week long increments makes me stick to things better, which is a big problem I have and something I really dislike about myself.

OKAY STARTING NOW.

Im sorry!

I have been the worst blogger ever. I suck :(

Later today will be an entry for the bfsc, and a few more ootds. I PROMISE. ughhh. Its so hot and I am in a total funk.

So.

So I start school in late august. I would REALLY really like to start my 2nd year at college in my new program as a size 20, vs 22(I am short, and feel rather unhealthy at a 22 and I know I would fair better being lighter. Under no circumstance will I ever let myself get below plus sized;) Diego wouldn't stand for it!) I have been working out for 2 days and replacing one meal with a metabolism booster/meal replacement shake and I have agreed that if I do this for 7 days straight, I get to treat myself with a new pair of shoes.

Now I know 7 days will not get me to a size 20. I am aware of that, but I have a big stinking problem with will power and consistency. (See 30day picture meme. Yeah.) So if I can get my butt into gear for one solid week, and do it every day for 7 days. I get a new pair of shoes. Until then I cannot spend ANY MONEY. I am on an extremely official NO BUY because I am SO broke.

So my lovely blog readers help me decide on a pair of shoes!

I am currently looking at the following sexy sexy shoe selections. (Keep in mind I am still broke as a joke.)



These shoes show here at UrbanOg.com



These creepers from the endless.com
(Thanks to Christina from Musings of a Fatshionista for reigniting my love for creepers. I dug out my leopard print pair today)


Or possibly these from Forever21.com
as a replacement for the Jessica Simpson "Dani" Heel that I could never ever afford?

I don't know. If I reach my goal by the time school starts you better believe I will be getting a pair of Sam Edelmans or Jeffrey Campbells.

Help me decide and/or show me other options! Your favorite shoes for the coming season of falllll!
xoxo

OOTD:Mod dress

Just a super quick OOTD before I run out to grab dinner. Another blog post will come later tonight that is more productive!





I paired this dress with the wedges first, but ended up changing my mind to the studded flats. We are getting along much better lately, and I think I will keep them around!

OOTD: Witchy woman

So I am a little unsure about this outfit.
I don't even really have comments for it because I don't know how I feel about it but Diego liked it a lot so I will post it anyway.







So I do the same pose all the time, WHAT OF IT?!

Lace shirt is from dots, black and white striped top is from eyeshadow via somewhere else like a million years ago, skirt is from fatshionxchange on livejournal, as are the thigh highs, and the shoes are from forever 21. The shoes are pre- op :)

Okay so here is one of the DIY projects that I started today!


Left: New! Right: Old.

eh?! I love them. I will be adding more studs and spikes as I see fit tomorrow after the football game and post the finished product tomorrow :)

Also...

I HAVE 15 FOLLOWERS! Thank you so much everyone!<3<3
Tomorrow I will post a GIVE AWAY! I know its really small, but hey that means better chance you will win right? Just for a pair of earrings I made, but I am just so happy I have 15 followers now :):)

OOTD: The turtle who ate too many beets.

In regards to the title of this entry, the turtle who ate too many beets. Sometimes my boyfriend says the funniest things I swear I want to tape him. I was attempting to put on lipstick while STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT and he said "NO! Your going to get it all over your mouth and your going to look like a turtle that ate too many beets!!"My reaction was "....what?!" haha. Who uses that kind of analogy?! But it made sense to him haha.



Kinda plain, but i like it. Its also like 94 degrees out here and I may just be a whiner but that is WAY TOO HOT for comfort. I seriously thought I was going to melt.


My boyfriend being cute and ruining everything


What a hottie :)




The dress was like 17.00 from Faith21 earlier this season and I love it! Its so plain and I can do pretty much anything with it! The shirt under it is a lace shirt from Dots that I adore and the wedges are my dollhouse kendra wedges!

I got my forever 21 wedges today! I am so happy! They are everything i needed!!

Check out my sale here for some skirts and a dress and another pair of wedges!

4-5-6/30 day meme

So I've been slacking. It is just so HOT I don't want to do ANYTHING!

Well here is day 4, a picture of my morning



and here is day 5, something that inspires me



Kelli Jean Drinkwater by Eoin Whelan. Dress by Thom Ravnholdt

and here is day 6, a picture that makes me cry!



They day I picked Diego up from the train station. I was so happy just thinking about it makes me want to cry. I WILL post an OOTD today. I WILL dress nicely today. DAMN.

Whoops!

So I didn't blog yesterday, didn't do my meme and didn't post an outfit. This is because of the following:

1. I didn't wake up in the morning this morning, or yesterday morning.
2. I have not worn anything remotely worth posting. Its too hot and sticky and I am too pissy to get dressed in something cute.

Today was BULLSHIT. The fucking UPS delivered my target package but because of FOREVER 21S BULLSHIT HAVING TO SIGN FOR A PACKAGE RULE I DIDNT GET MY WEDGES! STILL!

Oh well this is fine, thinking I can at least do my DIY for my target wedges and NOPE. I being the idiot that I am, bought RIVET BACK SPIKES as opposed to screw on spikes. Which would be fine if I was still in the metals program. BUT I'M NOT. So I had to buy a spike setter and a tiny anvil (which is okay because man I love tiny anvils) and they should be done by the end of the week :( Boo. I didn't get ANYTHING done today that I wanted to.

BUT I HAVE 13 FOLLOWERS! And I love you all very dearly! 2 more followers and I will do a give away (I know it seems small but idc!) for a pair of earrings that I will finish tonight :)

Anyone who ISN'T already following this cute girl Pearls,Lace, and Ruffles

Should do so right about now. Shes having her 300 follower give away (Holy crap!) and also has immaculate taste :) So check her out!

I think I will probably post pictures later of some of the jewelry I have been working on. I really want to start some sort of store in my big cartel shop. I am also selling a size 1 purple torrid dress if anyone might be interested :)

Fireworks!! 4/30 OOTD

Okay so this is a busy post!

1. AGAIN I MUST ANNOUNCE HOW CUTE ANA'S LITTLE BABY IS! I am so excited!

2. Where I went today was to see fireworks with my love!





I am no photographer.

This is what I wore to fireworks!







I was really iffy about these bermuda type shorts from Dots. Usually I like to bare as much leg as possible but they were the only ones they had in my size. Dots was SUPER picked over when I got there haha. But paired with this outfit I like them. The shirt is from urban outfitters size large, and the vest is my favorite vest from Urban Outfitters size medium (what?!). My shoes are from aldo! I love these sandals, they trekked all over spain with me. Even though you can barely see it, I'm wear MACs sweet sienna pigment, with shroom e/s as a highlight with badgal and zoomlash. Oh and Alls Fair on my lips! I was pleased with my use of a non pressed pigment though!


9 FOLLOWERS! I am so pleased! When I get to 15 I will have a tiny give away of jewelry. Just a tiny one to show how VERY appreciative I am of my followers :):)
Tonight is dedicated to some jewelry ideas I've had swimming around! Also eating delicious steaks with my boyfriend. Today was a good day.


ps. I am always looking for constructive criticism! I am just getting the hang of dressing myself well but I know I have major accessory problems so far!

Stains and buff.

I seriously have never met anyone who stains their clothing like I do. I have 3 faith21 tops that I ADORE and LOVE SO MUCH, and 2 have pen marks on them and 1 has a grease stain on it. I feel disgusting just admitting that on the internet! Does anyone have any advice on how to get these things out?! Tonight before fireworks I will rub them with dish soap and run them through the laundry and hope that that does the trick but we will see. Boo:( One is my sparkly tunic too. I love that top!

I don't have any pictures to accompany this post, just wordy words. My friend Ana had her baby today! An adorable little baby girl named Delilah! Yayyy!

It's the fourth of july and Diego and I are not doing ANYTHING but trying to avoid the heat. SO MUCH HEAT. Ive been working on some jewelry as of late, and will be posting it soon to hopefully get some critiques on it.

At this point I am just rambling away. I will return later with what I wore to see fireworks!

I also thought I would through this random plug in for my SUPER CHEAP top sale over at livejournal. I am trying to rehome a gorgeous pair of wedges as well :(
If anyone sees anything and doesn't have a livejournal, email me at cmodrack@gmail.com and I will set everything up from there :)

3/30

For the 3rd day of my 30 day challenge it is to post what you did that day!

I went to the beach with boyfriend :)







After he took me to dinner so I put on MAKEUP FOR LIKE THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER


Please excuse my lazy eyes?

Fafi utterly Frivolous on my lips
Painterly paint pot as my base
Pink pearl all over the lid and above it, Gold stroke on top, and Jardin Aires highlighting/blending



oh and bad gal liner with zoomlash lashes

OOTD:Times 2 2/30

So I didn't post my outfit for yesterday so here it is :


Sorry for such a crappy picture, my camera was dieing as I took it and just bareeellyyy got that one. The dress is Torrid, like 2 years ago, and the wedges are target, the belt is dots, and the sweater vesty thing is Urban Outfitters. (Note my beefcake Boyfriend in the background :))

Todays outfit is my entry for the 30 day picture meme(what I wore today) and my SLEEVELESS(well actually I suppose they are both sleeveless haha) entry for the Big Fat Summer challenge!


Dress: Dots, Belt: Torrid, Shoes: F21, Bracelet: Me!





These shoes pinch, but they are SO CUTE I am not ready to break up with them yet. We will see how our 2nd date goes.


This is my bracelet! Its chain and I made it and I'm pumped. I like it a lot, Diego wasn't entirely impressed though. Dick.


Diegos grilling steak and I am sitting on my butt making chain mail for my SUPER SECRET DIY project. I am so excited! I SHOULD have finished one today, but Target is a douche and didn't deliver my shoes. ASSHOLES.

Day 01. Picture of myself

Okay so I lied. No OOTD today, I will post todays OOTD tomorrow morning as my camera is deader than something that is very very dead.
BUT
here is my first post of the 30 day picture meme:)


Me as of this morning!

I started on one of my DIY projects. MAN CHAIN MAIL is difficult haha. Oh well the result will be bad.ass. Tomorrow I start my other one, but that one should be quick and will probably have pictures to accompany the post :)

OOTD: Beach and Bathing suit!

Okay so I didn't post an OOTD yesterday because I suck super bad, but I have 2 today!

(Also I am up to 4 followers, thank you and I love you guys, I don't feel like I'm talking to myself anymore!!)

So for the Big Fat Summer Challenge, I already did something that I wouldn't normally wear, so here is sleeveless!



Dress from Faith21 via Shop.Fatshionista and wedges from target (Friday see these wedges again in black in a DIY! I love diy.)



I tend to stay away from sleeveless things because I have big boobs, and I mean gravity isn't my best friend. I do like the silhouette this dress gives me though, but I think this might be the end of our relationship.



Also here is a close up of the print. Its a GORGEOUS dress that I think will probably be put in MY bigcartel shop in a couple of weeks.


Okay SO NOW onto the 2nd OOTD, which isn't really an outfit at all! Its my torrid bathing suit from last year! This is ALSO part of the BFSC!


Bathingsuit from torrid, and mom sandals from Blowfish. Suck it I LOVE those sandals.



So those 2 pictures are the same pretty much.

LASTLY
I hemmed the legs of my romper! I am MUCH more apt to wear it now. I actually really like it and would like something similar in black, so to target we go tomorrow.

Oh yeah. Oh YEAH!

3 followers!! Hell yes! Thanks you guys :)< 3

I spent last night shortening the legs of the romper, and I feel like it looks much better now. I'll post photos with my OOTD tonight.
I don't even remember if I mentioned the fact that I also got a pair of shorts, a lace overlay top(I love lace and mesh..)and a lace strapless bra type deal(that is under the romper)

As soon as Diego wakes up were going to go to the beach I think, but he has practice at 6 so we will see. I was going to feature this post today with the things in fashion trends that I hate right now but I am in such a good mood I don't think I can be snarky.

Things I have to do today:

Go to the post office.
Grocery shop.
Get roommates to pay utilities.
Go to Diegos tryout.
Get tons of little jumplinks from Joanns or Micheals to start chain maile for too small f21 wedges.
OOTD post.

2nd OOTD!!

Okay I am counting this as my OOTD for Monday because our sleep schedule is so messed up, it is technically the same day as it was earlier when I posted my first blog.

I didn't even wear this out yet, because I am going to hem the crap out of the legs because it is a terrible length on me, but once I hem them its what I am going to wear to Diegos football practice tomorrow. I am his manager. :)

BUT this fits in the Big Fat Summer Challenge as something that is sleeveless, and something I wouldn't normally wear, so it is tagged as such.

My "something I wouldn't normally wear" entry for the BFSC is a romper I just got from Dots today! Again I have to hem the CRAP out of the legs, because they are such an awkward length on me, and the black accessories ARE a little harsh but I wasn't sure how I should go with it to make it more "me". Pastel blue isn't really my THANG, but I liked the romper overall, and with a few alterations it could work pretty well with me. I think tomorrow I will post another version with brown accessories.



Romper is from Dots, Belt is from Torrid, Shoes are from Urban Original, Vest is from Urban Outfitters.
(Only the shoes were recent and Dots doesn't have online ordering, so thats why only they are a link)


Rompers fall under the "not what I would wear" category because I am still slightly insecure about my body. I have a tapered natural waist, thinner legs, but am all gut. (I mean, I'm fat all over, but its concentrated there ;) )



Also the black poking out at the top is this AWESOME strapless bra type thing I found at dots for 6 DOLLARS! I have huge knockers and I do not feel unsupported in this thing at all. I love it and am going back tomorrow for more.
