Can You Feel the Love?

Can you feel the love?
So, I have had this shirt in my closet for several years and this is the first time wearing it publicly. If anyone knows me well enough, they know that "The Lion King" is one of my all-time favorite movies, so naturally I fell in love with this shirt when I saw it and had to buy it! But, because it's a shorter shirt, I was never comfortable enough wearing it in front of people. Well, today, I finally found a way to wear it and I wear it proudly :)

It's September 1st! Trust me, I am definitely a Summer girl, but I do love the transitions into new seasons. Thus the reason why I brought out my booties and scarf on this day :) It helped that it was rainy out today, too though. How did you celebrate the first day of September?!

"Beige Is Cappuccino"

I forgot to take a close up this time, but I will try to remember next time because I love the sparkling sequence on the top of this shirt. It's so pretty and classy looking, to me anyways.
​
Although I do like the light jeans with this shirt, I think there should have been some kind of dark color thrown in there to help with the wash-out of the beige shirt on my pale skin. I'm thinking a dark lip color, either dark jeans or black pants, or for a colder day, a brown long-sleeve shirt underneath would work really well. What do you think?

Is anyone else still a fan of Aeropostal? I remember as a little kid anxiously waiting to be able to shop here. Their clothes were always fun, trendy, and comfortable...at least for me. 

Shop the Look:

Aero Shirt - So, they don't seem to carry my particular style branded shirt anymore, but this is pretty close. 

Here is the link to this one:
www.aeropostale.com/aero-ny-graphic-tee/80085010.html?dwvar_80085010_color=480&cgid=girls#q=brand&start=5 

Blue skirt - I did find the blue skirt on Poshmark, but none anywhere else. It is a Faded Glory brand, and it is SO soft and comfy! I have this skirt in 2 other colors and I LOVE them!

I'm adding this photo in here because these shoes will not stay this pearly white for long ;)

Shop the Look:

Shirt - Well y'all, I'm not having any luck with finding my shirt today either. Due to being shorter, I have clothes in my closet that I've had for a long time since they still fit and so I have trouble finding the exact matches or similar versions sometimes, but I promise I try ;)

Shoes - I was able to find my shoes though!! If you click on the link, the white ones are beside the black ones. 

Funny story about these, my mom originally ordered these for her self...buttt they didn't fit, so I got them ;) Thanks, Momma!

Shop the Look:

Dress & Necklace - My dress came from "Aeropostal" a long time ago and my necklace came from a local shop that is closed now. Unfortunately, I am not able to find either item. I even tried finding a similar version of them, but couldn't. I almost found a similar version of the dress, but it was toddler size. Sorry, ladies!

Camouflage Goes With Anything

"[A]in't nothing that doesn't go with camouflage" -
"Camouflage" - by Brad Paisley
So, I know I said yesterday that my favorite color is blue, and it is, but so are pink and camouflage ;) Ironically, I am wearing both of those in today's outfit. Pink is pretty and camouflage is fun! What's your favorite color and why?

Shop the Look:

Orange Shirt - Obviously, this is not the same orange shirt that I am wearing because honestly any orange shirt would work, but I do like the tuck-in look, which would work well for the belt look that I am wearing in my picture above.

Jean Shorts - Once again, any jean shorts would work well with the look that I am wearing, but these would be nice for the wider belt and buckle. 

Belt & Buckle - My belt and the pink buckle came from a local shop that recently closed. I was able to find a very similar belt, but not the pink buckle. But, I would say a pink & camo belt buckle would look cool with this look. 

Boots - I couldn't change the default picture on this, but once you click on the link, find the color that reads: "Distressed Brown/Camo."
It is number 12 from the first option. 

Hat - I got the one I have on at Walmart, in fact all my camo hats came from Walmart...but here's a cute one, too.

"I'm Blue - Da Ba Dee"

"Blue is the color of all that I wear"
"Blue" - by Eiffel 65
What can I say?...Blue is one of my all-time favorite colors. It's the color of the sky, blueberries, blue raspberry snow cones, our flag (well, part of it), my eyes, my husband's eyes, and our son's eyes. My grandaddy used to call me his "blue-eyed, precious, darling, baby doll". Long name, but one that I will never forget.  

Shop the Look:

Blue & White Striped Shirt - I wasn't able to find the exact shirt that I have on and I honestly don't remember where I got it from...but, here is a similar blouse that would work just as well :)

Blue Cami - Most of you probably have a blue cami hanging around somewhere...but here's one in case you don't. I purposefully chose Navy Blue to compliment the blue in the stripes in my shirt. 

Blue Shorts -  I feel like any navy blue shorts would go well with this, if you're wanting to continue the blue theme. White or jean shorts would look nice, too. 

Blue Fedora Hat - The one I have on has a navy blue band around it, but it would have been nice to have this one with the black band to match my black shoes better ;)

I almost always stay clear of wearing navy and black together, butttt I only have 2 sandals to choose from - black and gold and gold looked worst ;) I do like sandals, but I LOVE boots and bare feet best!

This makeup selection is SO simple, easy, & great for a quick errand...which is ideal for me! Below is what I used:
  • Spray & Stay Collection - primer & finisher
  • Perfect Foundation - I used the shade "Ivory"

  • Perfect Eyeshadows - I used "Cream Boat" all over the eyelid as a base and "Jessie's Girl" on top of the cream color. 
  • Perfect Eyeliner Pen - "Black"
  • Perfect Mascara - "Black"
  • Perfect Lip Stick - "204 - Lovers Coral"

Lace & Denim

Elegant mixed with a little "down home"

​Lace and denim (in my opinion):

- compliment each other very well. 
- are definitely "Ladylike".
- fit the description of a female. 

Shop the Look:

Jean Jacket Vest - Okay, this may not be the EXACT jean jacket that I am wearing, but it is very similar! What's cool about this Amazon one is that you can choose between 3 different denim shades - Light, Medium, & Dark. 
​

Plain Brown Short-sleeve Shirt - You can pretty much find these anywhere, if you don't already have one in your closet. But, just in case here is one for ya...
*I think any color would go well with this outfit. However, personally, I would just stick with a plain shirt since you already have the design in the jean jacket and lace skirt. It makes it easier on the eyes....but everyone has their own style :)* 

Lace Skirt - This is a high-waisted pencil skirt. However, I still have quite a bit of leg room, which makes it more comfortable to wear. Now, I am rather on the shorter side when it comes to height (4'11" to be exact) so this comes almost to my ankles, but just take your own height into consideration as to where it might fall on you. It is lined very well under the lace, so not much see-thru (although I am still wearing nude undergarments just for that extra assurance). The lace on this is SO beautiful!

  • Spray & Stay Collection - Primer & Finisher
  • Perfect Foundation - My skin is pretty pale, so I use the "02 - Ivory" shade. If you would like a color match to be sure you have the right shade for your skin, let me know and I can give you my Beauty Guide's information upon approval of both parties. 
  • Perfect Bronzer - "01 - Shimmer" - This particular bronzer compliments the "Ivory" foundation shade very well. (Again, if you would like to know which one is best for you, my Beauty Guide can help you out.)
  • Perfect Blush - "03 - Possible" - This has a shimmer look to it. 
  • Complete Concealer - "00" - This is a highlighting concealer. I put this under my eyes to brighten that area up. 
  • Perfect Eyeshadow - I used 3 different ones: "38 - Cream Boat" - I used this one as the base color over my whole eye lid; "34 - Pineapple of My Eye" - I used this one on the outer corner and worked my way towards the middle of my eye lid; and "12 - Jessie's Girl" - I used this one in the middle of my eye towards the inner part of my eye lid....and then I blended them together so there were no harsh lines.  
  • Perfect Eyeliner Pen - "Black" - I only wear eyeliner under my eye because I just don't have the skills to do the top of my eye lid ;) 
  • Perfect Mascara - "Black" - The only thing I put on my eye lashes is mascara. The simpler, the better for me. 
  • Enduring Lip Liner - "07 Cabernet" 
  • Enduring Lip Color -"Moonshine" - The "07 - Cabernet" lip liner and the "Moonshine" lip color are the same color.
