Cardigan, skirt, shoes: Forever 21

Shirt: TJ Maxx

This is one of my outfits to work, (minus the shoes).  I try to dress as cute as possible, while still looking appropriate.  The old ladies always love the way I look. 

It's funny that I got rid of most of my "frumpy" stuff that could've worked well for my job.  It was too long or too conservative, which obviously isn't my style.  And now I'm stuck needing to buy clothes that I don't really want and finding boring stuff "cute" when I would've totally walked past it before.  The thought,"This would be cute for work.." is a new one.

Finally got around to chopping off my scraggly ends.  I miss the length, but it's just one step closer to getting the hair I want.  My boyfriend thinks it's ridiculous that I'm growing out my hair only to destroy it again.  Boys never understand hair problems.

I've been cursed with short, muscular legs, so I was considering selling these shoes for a while.  They cut me at an unfortunate angle and make me look out of proportion.  It turns out all I needed was a super short dress.  And I have plenty.  I'm torn on whether or not I want to stud them, but that's the case with every shoe I own.

I have so many jackets that I often "lose" the rest of my clothes in my closet.  I had forgotten about this dress, mostly because of its flaws.  It's super sheer, short, and the back is dipped low enough that it often falls off my shoulders.  Needless to say, it's one of my least favorite purchases.  That's what happens when you buy things on sale.  Still, I love combining soft and hard looks.  I enjoy walking the line between sweet and whatever it is people think I am when I don black and skulls. 

I'm really into fascinators again.  My lifelong dream is to be a fancy lady in fur, pearls, gloves, and hats.  But the love for black, leather and spikes is too strong.  As is my attraction to flashy sequins and neon colors. 

I'm just a fashion mess.

(In case you were wondering, my hair is so big because it's full of secrets.)

Top: Lip Service

Jacket: Evil Twin

Skirt: Forever 21

This blouse is one of my favorite purchases.  It was on sale for about $60, which I initially thought was ridiculous for something sheer, but it was just too awesome to pass up.  It has a high collar, but I usually leave it open because it's a bit suffocating.

I'm impatiently waiting for summer to end so I can wear all of my jackets and boots.

Still waiting on that haircut.  These humid days are so terrible.

Since it's summer hell here in Texas, I've been trying to go without my trusty sequin jacket.  Bare shoulders is such a difficult concept to me as I've been self-conscious about them my entire life.  But it's getting easier.

I was feeling dark lipstick for this outfit, though it's a harsh contrast against the light, dusty pink.  I wanted to be one of those girls who wears it with everything.

This weather has my hair as a giant ball of frizz and baby curls.  There is no escape.  Hopefully the next time I'll post, I'll have had a haircut.

Suffering through the summer heat even in thin layers.  Texas is the worst.  I'll be going home in a few days.  I packed for a week, as though I'll have something to do everyday instead of just sit at home on Tumblr.  The weather back home is usually in the 100s, but at least it's mostly dry heat.  Maybe I'll start wearing my hair up if I get desperate.
