Great Find: The Perfect Leggings

I've searched and searched for the perfect leggings and I've finally found them! I wanted leggings or jeggings that I could wear with boots this fall and winter.   I wanted to wear them with big sweaters and be comfy. They also had to be able to pass as pants. :)

I found some in great colors at Wal-Mart. They passed the test. They don't lose their shape. They come past my ankles. (I'm 5'4" but I have long legs and a short torso.) They also are made of good material that isn't super thick, but it's also not lightweight - a happy medium. They're also very comfortable and fit great!

These Faded Glory leggings come in many different colors and designs. So far, I have bought the burgundy/ox blood, olive green, teal, gray & black houndstooth, camouflage and black/blue floral pattern. I think I will probably end up with one of each color/design. I guess I'm the type that when I find something I like and that fits great, I buy one in every color. :)  You also can't beat the price, under $12 a pair!

What I Wore Today 10/22/13

Gap sweater dress | Gap footless sweater tights: here | Vince Camuto Holden booties: here | Chloe bow earrings: here

Today I wore a red and black striped sweater dress with ribbed footless tights and black booties.

It's a cold, rainy day. I usually wear booties on rainy days and they hold up well.

Lately, I've decided to try out footless tights when I wear boots. I like to wear tights in the fall and winter, but I hate putting them on! Something about the process drives me crazy. Footless tights seem to be working for me. They give off the same appearance but aren't so bad getting in and out of.

I have a thing for sweater dresses and this one really caught my eye. It's also polished enough to wear to the office.

Great Find: Pink & Brown Moccasins

 

I'm in love with moccasins this year! I've always loved them, ever since I was a little girl. I remember my grandmother having a pair and I remember loving the boots and slip ons.

Moccasins are so comfortable! You can wear them as house shoes or regular shoes... I'm guilty of both. They keep your feet warm and they're adorable, so why not?

I found a great pair today that I couldn't pass up. These brown and pink moccasins are so cute.

Click here to buy.

They have other varieties and it was really hard for me to chose. I'll probably also purchase the tan & blue ones and the sparkly leopard print pair.

They are fur lined with leopard print! They also form to your feet and didn't hurt certain spots on my heels or toes like some flats do.

I wear an 8 or 8 1/2, but I bought the size medium (7/8) and they're a perfect fit.

They are also inexpensive. I love a good buy!

Maybelline Color Whisper Who Wore It Red-er Review and Swatches

 

I really wanted to try a red shade, so I picked Who Wore It Red-er. It's a shade of Maybelline Color Whisper. It has a blue tint, so I thought it should be easy to wear. A blue tint also is supposed to make your teeth appear whiter!

 

 

Color Whisper by Maybelline is described as "Pure color pigments suspended in a weightless gel.
No heavy waxes or oils. Soft, sexy gel-color."

 

Who Wore It Red-er does live up to my expectations. It has sheer to medium coverage, but if you apply it thick, it has very rich coverage.

 

This red even is great for pale skin girls like me! I found it easy to wear.



 

This red is easy to wear and is moisturizing. I like that it doesn't dry out my lips and it provides a bright, bold color. I recommend Who Wore It Red-er if you're on the search for that perfect shade of red.

Maybelline Color Whisper

It's pretty obvious from my previous blog posts that I'm in love with Maybelline Color Whisper lip color. It's one of my top favorite lipstick lines.

It's a gel color that is lightweight and it doesn't dry out your lips. I like that Color Whisper doesn't feel waxy or sticky. It also doesn't feel oily like some lip balms do. It feels great by itself, but you can also add a lip gloss for shine! The colors are usually matte and not very shimmery.

The colors are pigmented, but it depends on how heavily you apply them. Some days I use a light hand at applying and sometimes I want a bolder look. Maybelline Color Whisper delivers both.

The price is incredible. You can buy a tube for less than six dollars.

There are a ton of shades to chose from! I think most can be toned down for work, but there are a few that are great for a night out.

Reviews and Swatches:
Lust for Blush
Orange Attitude
Pin Up Peach

I actually have a larger collection of shades. I just need to find time to review all of them. :)

White Tee Looks - Outfit Ideas

 

 

 

I think everyone owns a white t-shirt. However, I don't think white tees live up to their full potential. So many days I have left my white tee at home. Well, no more! I've came up with outfit ideas so my white t-shirts can get more on-air wear time.

 

REISS Daina Scoop Neck tee: here | Alice + Olivia Low-rise skinny jeans: here | Madewell Perfect Chambray: here | BCBGeneration Aries boot: here | Betsey Johnson Jet Set Bow Earrings: here

White tee, black skinnies (jeans or leggings), chambray top and black boots - instant outfit. This outfit looks put together and effortless. These are all basic pieces you probably have already.

Topshop Viscose tee: here | Topshop Wylde Faux Leather jacket: here | DI 1961 Amanda skinny jean: here | Michael Kors pippa flats: here | Kenneth Jay Lane Pearl Necklace: here | Michael Kors handbag: here

Leather jackets are awesome. I'm still on the hunt for *my* perfect one, but if you've already found yours, this outfit would be great for you. Add colored skinnies (like red!) and a white tee, with black flats (or heels!). A big statement necklace sweetens this outfit even more.

REISS Daina Scoop Neck tee: here | Ralph Lauren Blue Label Red Coastal Pleated skirt: here | Mango Nubuck sash belt: here | Michael Antonio Love Me Pump: here | Oscar De La Renta Gold Plated necklace: here

Your tee can be dressed up - no matter the color! Try it under a pleated chiffon skirt and cinch your waist with a belt. Add complimentary heels and a statement necklace. This outfit would be cute during the summer. Use warmer colors for fall!

Want to look professional but not bland? Try a white t-shirt, tan blazer, red leather pencil skirt, with deep brown heels. I'm in love with this outfit. Proof that you can wear a white t-shirt almost any where and any way!

Topshop Viscose tee: here | Bootcut jeans: here | Abstract Southwestern scarf Forever 21: here | Steve Madden Hocus boots: here | Tang and Song earrings: here

Throw on your favorite pair of jeans, white tee and a scarf, then you're out the door! Don't forget your boots though. I love the simplicity of this outfit.

Hopefully this post gave you a few ideas on how to pair your favorite white (or any other color) t-shirt!

What I Wore Today 10/16/13

Luckygold paddle necklace: here | Tees by Tina Smooth tank top: here | Artisan De Luxe Aztec Pullover Sweater: here | Aeropostale Foldover Combat boot: here | Refuge Charlotte Russe legging: here

Today was the first day I've worn my brown combat boots! It was a rainy, cold day and I thought they needed to come out to stomp through the mud puddles with me.

I wore my olive green skinnies with a camel brown tank top and brown aztec inspired sweater. The sweater is great because it has other fall colors mixed in, so you can wear it with endless outfits.

It was a comfy, but rainy day. I even got complimented that I look nice in brown. However, brown is a neutral, so I think everyone does!
