Layer, Layers, Layering

Oh Winter, thou art a cold Mistress! *Ahem* Apparently I've been so chilly I'm starting to proclaim in Shakespearean! So yes, layering. I have to thank long sleeve t-shirts, thermal undershirts and leggings for helping to chase the chill away. I also have to give a shout out to wool socks, even though I have a hard time finding them in stores and I have NO idea why. And here is a side rant....

Women's winter clothing. Unless I'm finding wool sweaters at the thrift store or wearing vintage, nothing seems to be made in materials that are the least bit warm!? I was searching for some warm sweaters (i.e. not "fine knit") a few months ago and came up with NADA. Nothing. Zip. Zero. I had to settle for a waterfall cardigan that was somewhat warm......... *grumblebats* I'm just going to wear a blanket with a bunch of safety pins.

I'm wearing the Skeleton Dress over a long sleeve t-shirt and leggings, paired with my cowl neck buckle sweater, spider pendant that Derek sculpted for me and Dr. Marten boots.

I love the pixie hem on the bottom of the dress!

I also would like to mention the lipstick I'm wearing is the NARS velvet matte lip pencil in Cruella which I received from Sephora (free gift!) for my birthday. I really love the color, yet I'm starting to realize matte lipsticks may not be for me as they are very drying and I hate having dry lips. I do use a lip primer and dap a little lip balm on throughout the day, so matte may only be a type of lipstick I may wear from time to time. But, the color and product=awesome!

Do you have any tips or advice for wearing matte lipsticks?

Thank you for reading!

Oh, The Humidity!

The humidity has been terrible, so I'm not going to fight it with taking a flat iron to my hair. My hair has a mind of it's own and the natural wave has taken over....and I'm been bobby pinning my bangs to the side since I want to grow them longer. Patience. Patience. Mehhhh.

Anyways, I've been trying to write about this dress since I got it months ago. I bought the Skeleton Dress from hottopic.com and I LOVE it. It's is soft, flowy and easy to throw on for a day of errands. I have to admit I was not expecting much when I ordered the dress, but now I have to stop myself from wearing it everyday! I ordered a medium seeing as Hot Topic is a junior's clothing store, but I could have sized down to a small as the material has a lot of 'give'. It's been great going through the wash and the hemline is finished, so no fraying! 

The long cardigan I'm wearing (which is also from Hot Topic, a few years ago) is made of terrible cheap lace, which is full of tiny elastic "hairs" poking out of the sleeves. I still wear it, as I love the idea of a flowy long line cardigan layered over dresses. 

Ya win some, ya lose some.
