Style Notes: Rompers. The Ultimate Beach Look.

Rompers are a nice addition to the spring 2011 collection of our closets. However, rompers some times give the illusion of a saggy-diaper butt. They can be done tastefully.

Rompers were brought into the fashion world in the early 1900’s as an ideal piece of clothing for children for loose movement. They were the first article of clothing that broke the traditional tight-fitting clothing that flourished the 19^th Century Victorian Era. Earlier on, rompers were known for children as dressy and playwear. But, in the 1950’s women began to enjoy the loose fitting piece as a playful suit that could be used as beachwear.

These playful play suits can be seen with the sandal-high heel to give length to the over-bearing length (of some) and with a beach hat to protect your flawless skin from the sun.

Even, if I pair a neutral sock with the IBANZ shoe in Bone would be a nice touch as well. That's the amazing thing about these type of sandals. They can look playful with the sock, or they can look dressy without the sock. Versatile shoes are the fun part about dressing up. 

Picture Spam for Lack of Love.

Spring break was last week (if you want to call march in Buffalo spring). I spent my week by doing FTT 208 projects, creating, and working 40 hours. I feel bad for abandoning this blog, while I been uploading and spending so much time on Tumblr. So, I will wrap up everything in pictures this time. 

I like to take touches of style from before 19th century.

That is all.

Fall Inspiration.

It's almost April and there is still snow on the ground. I don't quite understand this, however I guess it keeps me in the mood to look at Fall 2011' collection. There is nothing wrong with getting ahead of an idea of what your fall closet is going to look while you're only stuck in spring! I think this is a post where I just post inspiration and beautiful pieces of the upcoming Fall.

(trends: fringe, sheer, thigh-high tights)

Neon Orange Popsicles in the Mid-Day

Out of all the pop of bright colors this Spring, Coral Rose is my fav. I don't know if it is because of the color being close to my hair color, or that the orange-red hues are in love with me. I am not too sure. However, I wanted to own a pair of those lovely red-orange pants. Not to mention, they are sizzling all over the street fashion:

Since the coral pants are "hot" "trendy", however you would like to know it as. The retail markets in which it is sold at has risen the price of these babies to at least 30-60$. I decided to go the frugal-route and find a pair of white pants for cheap at F21:

I grabbed some RIT Dye in Tangerine from the local art supply shop for only 4$:

I went through the complicated-yet-common-sense process of dying the pants.

And finished product!

Total: About 19$ compared to 30+!

I'm excited to trample around my school grounds as being their sunset!

Create something that cant be found anywhere else

but stay true to yourself

in 2011 it's all about standing out

but with a style that is all your own

(viaStyle of a Fashionista)

You can say that is probably going to be my new motto for the rest of my life. I mean, after your teacher looks at you and say, "God Bless You". I should at least feel like I am doing something write standing out among all the fashion students in the room. I suppose this outfit will explain my day:

And instead of doing my 208 project like above, I am going to just create some things:

Coat: Fur Vault

Blouse: Thrift

Skirt: Thrift and DIY

Tights: K-Mart

Shoes: Forever 21

Super Lazy Post

I been so busy with the amounts of school work, and work colliding with my thoughts for blog posts. It's quite a lot of time you must have on your hands to take the photos, photoshop/resize them then think of the layout. Then think of the moral of the blog. Then think about that damn paper yelling at you for it to be completed for Theatre class. Once you try to attend to that paper, the clock stares you in the face and tells you "It's 8 o'clock. You loose an hour of sleep tonight and you work at 5am. Eat your dinner, and get to bed".

Brand new high-waisted shorts from F21 for 12.50. Which is excellent because all last spring/summer I been looking for cheap high waisted shorts (that weren't a DIY project that I had to endure). Well, you can tell that F21 is behind a season..

THE BEGINNING TO LENT

HAPPY LENT

Today is the beginning to lent, I am far from Catholic. However, I was baptized in a Catholic church when I was nine years old. The only reason why I got baptized was because my religion teacher ( I grew up in a Catholic school) told me that god will never love me because I was not baptized at that time. As being in a Catholic school, only being nine, and hearing that was heart-shattering. As I got older, I began to understand religion and the relationship with God. I believe a person can have an relationship with god but does not have to be apart of an uniformed religion. That is my choice. I do not believe in uniformed religion and the rules the church comes up with. My relationship is my own, and no one needs to tell me how I have to live my life in order to be accepted in the eye's of God's Kingdom.

Anyhow, because of Lent I decided to give up impulse shopping. Lately, I have been spending a bit more than I should. I wanted to give myself this challenge to see if I can live off an weekly $20 dollar-budget and to be able to enhance my frugal ways. I want to share this progress with my blog, and share what I find under $20 dollars a week. I think it would be fun, and I am giving something up important. I don't remember the last time I participated in lent. But, it feels like this time around will be quite an interesting one. I hope no one gets offended by this entry as I do mean well. At least I hope I do!
