two doses of pink

Well, here it is. My first outfit post. This is what I wore to dinner tonight with my mom and her friends.

It was the first time I wore my new American Apparel socks and I love them. Since I used so much bright pink, I went with black everything else to tone down the color. And wow, this dress is short. I usually wear it with tights but it's just so hot right now...

no idea where dress is from, dad's belt, american apparel socks, steve madden boots

I'm going to do some more outfit posts later, but when school starts they won't be able to happen, because of dreadful uniforms. On the weekends I believe I will fit it in.

absorbent and yellow and porous is he

I just saw this on Nylon and I thought it was adorable. Rescue Beauty Lounge has taken Spongebob Squarepants as inspiration for their pre-fall polish colors. Star Fish Patrick, Bikini Bottom, and Square Pants are the names of the colors- a orangey-coral, powder blue, and pale yellow. I think this is such a cute idea and the colors are so new, original, and creative. I might want to pick up some of these...

brain freeze

Until Fashion Week starts in September, I'm afraid I cannot pull a single post idea out of my brain. I'll try, I really will...

Now, Project Runway...wow. So much licious this week... I'm not exactly sure on how anyone is supposed to judge this challenge, I mean, drag queens? The designers can throw together anything, throw some sequins and feathers on it, bam- instant formula for drag queens. The show was thoroughly entertaining and hilarious, though. 

Blayne

If you look at the dress itself, it's pretty simple, it's the sequins, the wings, and the fishnets that made it the draggy perfection that it was...I loved the whole look (drag-wise, not...you know, fashion wise.)

Daniel

Seriously, Daniel? Really. Not a touch of glitter or spangles or sequin or ANYTHING? I was groaning when he said "I wanted this to be tasteful, sequins make me want to throw up, blah blah blah blah". I mean, really. Daniel, we all know about your FANTASTIC taste. This dress didn't look like a drag queen, it looked like a tacky neon dress a fashion-confused Pussycat Doll would wear to the VMAs. 

Jerell

This was kind of disgusting. It did nothing for LeMay or her figure. And the color! Jerell has a love affair with olive green. 

Joe

That Varla Jean, she killed me. SO FUNNY. Joe's outfit was perfect in all ways. I loved it so much and little (huge) Varla just made it better. And that belt? So, so smart.

Keith

Keith always leaves me scratching my head. All of the judges were right, it just looked sloppy, like he threw a bunch of fabric shreds onto the dress form. And no color? This looked nothing remotely like anything a drag queen would wear. 

Kenley

A little boring, colorless, but at least Kenley worked the sequin aspect into it. This just screams Cruella deVil to me..

Korto

Korto did great on this...it was dramatic and perfect for the client. The flames were such a nice touch and the removable skirt made it even better. 

Leanne

I'm so confused on why this wasn't in the top three! Tim Gunn stated it perfectly- 'The look she designed was pure Fashion with a capital F, because it said "Paris couture" just as potently as it did "drag queen".' So true. This dress was perfect...

Stella

So boring, basic, and dull. What says drag about this?

Suede

This was a cute look, but again! Too normal. It said more cocktail hour than stage performance. 

Terri

I didn't understand this...there's just SO MUCH going on. Terri just kept adding and adding until there was no more space. I don't see why the judges loved it.

Edit: I realize it's been a while and still no post, but I'm waiting for the black cowl neck dress to come (it shipped separately), that's what I'm basing most of the outfits on. Also, I believe I'm going to start outfit posts very soon...

ask and answer

I'm very sorry to anonymous. A while ago, said anonymous posted a question for me to answer- 

fashionista, question:

i bought a pair of the kind of jeans that aren't white, but its like a really really white-ish blue. they were a good deal for the designer, so i didn't really think through how i would wear them. 

do you have any suggestions on what tops i could wear with it? thanks.

I started the post, then left it to die in drafts. I totally forgot! I'm sorry, because I love getting questions and answering them. Keep doing it. 

And as for the question:

You got lucky! I've been wanting a pair of those kind of jeans. They give such a cool, effortless Erin Wasson-ish vibe, and they're perfect for when you're going for a masculine look. Pair these jeans with neutral tones- gray, black, navy, etc. Play up the boy's look with a blazer or a long slouchy cardigan.
