Outfit Post #38 & #39

Just a quick post this time. Here are a couple of outfits I wore last month (still catching up ><)

 

Wore this one for some errands. It was a kinda chilly day so I decided to make my outfit more spring-y. Surprisingly we still haven't gotten our complete spring weather yet. 

It hasn't made it up it's mind (hot, cold, windy, rainy!!! Darn You!)

 

Dress: Plato's Closet
Shirt: Agaci
Cardigan: H&M
Socks: Target
Shoes/Purse: Marshall's
Belt-Earrings/Necklace: F21/Sanario

I can't remember where I wore this. lol. Just know it wasn't warm enough without tights :(

Please excuse my expression. I took these sometime in the am (I think around 2 or 3) after a long day.

 

Dress: Plato's Closet - F21
Undershirts: Agaci/F21
Cardigan: H&M
Tights: Clarie's
Socks/Necklace/Earrings: F21
Shoes: Secret Shop

I really enjoy getting all dressed up although at the same time I should probably try to do it more. It takes me forever now so maybe if I do it more I can cut down the time it takes me. Especially my hair grrrr. It takes forever to style. Might just cut a few inches off and see if that helps. Hmmmm... More to think about. lol

Cleaning can be Fun?

I love a clean house that everything in it has a place where it belongs. Unfortunately when you live with 2 guys who could care less how clean things are or where something goes, and work alot it can be hard to find the motivation to clean or organize anything (maybe that's just me though).

On Sunday I woke up with the realization that I had to try to clean even a little.  I usually just sleep till Adrian is ready to get up but I thought I'd take this "alone time" to get some stuff done. So when I got up I washed my face, walked the dogs, ate, and brushed my teeth. When I know I'm staying home I usually just throw on whatever is closest to me but thought I'd go a different route this time. My clothes usually reflect my mood so I thought I'd put on something fun and easy to move around in.

This is what I ended up throwing together. I started with my bloomers (because they're almost shorts only alot more comfortable and roomier), then layered on a couple of petticoats (they're sheer so I got plenty of "air") and topped it of with a casual tee, some stockings and practical shoes. You can't really see my bloomers but they're sherbert colors: yellow, orange, pink and green and have rainbows and stuff on them which is why I went with those stockings.  I wanted my hair out of my face but still wanted a fun hair style so I made 2 odangos and pinned up my bangs. This isn't something I would really wear out of the house (I don't have that much confidence yet) but that's why it was so much fun to put together. I was able to make an outfit that would make me happy even though it was something I wouldn't normally wear. You don't have to only wear fun or pretty clothes out of the house you can wear clothes that you wish you could wear or something that you're not yet comfortable in yet to "take it for a test drive". Who knows it may change your mood, give you a little extra confidence or just satisfy an urge that you had to put it on. Just make sure that what you want to wear is ok to get dirty if you're doing something like cleaning, like me. I wore my apron to clean so I wouldn't completely ruin my clothes. It matched my outfit so it made me that much happier   *(^o^)* I really would like another cute apron so that way I can have one for cooking/baking and for cleaning but I'm really glad I at least have this one because it has definitely protected my outfits many times :)

I think my outfit did just the trick because after I was dressed I felt ready to take on the world (or in this case our messes). I headed to the kitchen put on some loud music and got to work. But don't worry I still did lots of singing and twirling (one of the reasons why I love a good flowy skirt). I didn't get everything done but I'm proud that I did anything at all. Guess my outfit helped ;P What do you like to wear when cleaning? Do you feel different depending on what you have on? Love to know...

Well it's Friday so I can't wait till after 5pm for my weekend to officially start.

Wonder what the world has in store...

Karaoke Time!

This past Sunday we celebrated my Little Sister's bday (which was Friday) at my brother's place with a little get together.

We have a lot of family so we sometimes get together very often. To make the day feel a little more special for her I busted out my boxes of party decorations and went to town. We made it a karaoke party since Little Sister loves to sing (although so do me, my Mommy and Big Sister). You can see the final decoration results here.

We all had a great time as usual and really enjoyed each other's company. We ate brisket sandwiches, chips and chocolate cake. Then busted out the karaoke machine. As always we acted really silly and the day got away from us before we knew it, which meant the next day would be work :(

Me singing on the left and the print of my awesome dress on the right. When I saw the details of the print (Pandas! Planets! Flying Unicorn (Pegasus)! Cupcakes! and the Outer Space!) I knew I had to have it and it's now one of my favorite dresses :)

The Birthday Girl (Little Sister) and Me (W/My Moustache)

 And my outfit shot :) I tried something new to my hair but it didn't come out that great. I've always wanted to do a hair bow but I think I have too much hair because the center part never holds :( So i tried to do a bow and two odangos. Havn't quite mastered it yet, but practice makes perfect ;) Dress (Ebay - Hell Bunny) Shirt (American Eagle) Stockings (Sock Dreams) Bracelet (Hot Topic - actually a choker) Earings (AsianICandy)

I love karaoke so much. I still have a long way to go in terms of actually sounding really good but it feels great to sing alog to a song you like with all the emotions and energy that, that song deserves. One day I hope to master either the song I am not my hair or Get it together (both by India Arie) I love listening to her music but those songs always hit home for me and make me feel good about myself. Do you like karaoke? Is there a song you want to master? I'd love to hear them :)

Okie Dokie! Take it easy...
