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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

2nd Word post!

Day 2 of successful blogging! Fuck yeah! I am using my broken screen computer because I like uploading pictures onto it better and everything, and to be honest Diegos computer is just really big and difficult for me to use because I am so used to my Mac :(


I really don't take criticism well,I need to work on that. That will also be one of my goals this week, is to take criticism better. Also this week is to start the

Big Fat Summer Challenge!

THE RULES:

* Wear shorts (NO LEGGINGS, NO TIGHTS!)
* Wear something without sleeves
* Wear something STRAPLESS
* Rock a bathing suit
* Wear a bodycon dress/outfit
* Go SPANX/shaper free (might be harder for some of us..ahem…ME)
* Rock a maxi dress or something similar
* Wear something structure-less
* Wear a short skirt/dress
* YOUR CHOICE: Something you normally wouldn’t wear/do – BE BRAVE!


it originated over at Return To Sender but I found the post on Reizende Rundungen

My personal choice will be to rock a pair of heels with shorts. I should probably buy a pair of shorts huh? I have one pair, but they are ill fitting. BOO. I also don't have a bodycon dress or anything. So I will have to substitute that with something. OH actually I do have sort of body-conny skirts. We'll see.

How do I add things to my sidebar? I'd like to add this to my sidebar so this looks less like a childish personal blog!

OOTD: Chains and Studs

First OOTD of the blog! I just wore this to laze around the house mostly. i am not super pumped about how the mesh makes the shirt under it look, it just didn't particularly photograph well haha. Both tops are from Faith21. The Top one is a mesh tank with a chain detail in a 2x (I am a biiit bigger than a 2x, clearly, but it works I think.) and the second is the sparkle tunic that I believe is still on the website, and 13 bucks. I love it but it shows ALL flaws, so I wear it on my more confident days ;).
The pants are just Z Cavarricci for Torrid capris, bought 2nd hand over on LiveJournal. The shoes are my Dollhouse Kendra wedges, that I coveted forEVER and found them on lovemyshoes.com. More about that later!



Close up of my DARLING WEDGES

The dollhouse wedges I found when looking for a pair similar to a Micheal Kors pair I saw sometime earlier this year (and of course could NOT afford) and I eventually found them on lovemyshoes.com. The reviews of lovemyshoes were really really bad, but clearly I got my shoes. I will do a review for their website if they give me a 10% coupon or something :)

Starting over.

I started this blog like, a year ago, posted 3 times, and gave up. I want so desperately to be "in" fashion, and it seems like the blogosphere is the best start.
I am going to blog AT LEAST once, with an OOTD, and something productive I have done every day for 7 days. After 7 days, if "blogging" is something I have to FORCE myself to do, I will quit keep fucking forcing myself to do it! I have difficulty writing my thoughts down but I have SO DAMN MANY I don't understand why!

I start my marketing program in the fall! I have 4 classes this semester, and then 5 next, and then I will have a marketing certificate! I am not sure what the certificate means but it is the first SOLID step towards merchandising. After another year I will have a business and marketing associates, and from there I will decide on Fashion Merchandising/Marketing or Advertising. Woo!

I made a bigcartel.com shop, and I hope it takes off a bit. I'd like to start doing more customizing again, but Diegos back so EVERYTHING is a mess. I love him more than life itself but MAN HE IS A 21 YEAR OLD CHILD. My goal is to buy another storage thing, and crack out the sewing machine. I recently got 4 new pairs of shoes (I know...I hope my mom never EVER reads this haha) and 1 pair is too small so Im going to modify them and post them for sale I think. They are the forever21 oxford wedges and they were my cheap alternative to Jeffery Cambell's line of wedge booties, also even the Acne Atacoma. All(both?) of which I covet feircely but will have to live without until I get a full time job, or Diego makes it into the NFL. ;)

To come this week:
-7 OOTDS, starting when I get dressed...today!
-Fat chick summer challenge!
-2 pairs if DIY shoes
-Ranty-Venty blog filled with "Cobleigh's Picky Fashion Don'ts"

*EDIT* Oh yeah, and I bought a romper. We will see how this works out.
