Trying On Outfits Styled By Other People~! #1

So, I've mentioned a few times that I've been trying out an app for closet organizing/indexing. It's called Whering and so far it's working pretty well. It's kinda laggy, often times removes backgrounds incorrectly, and in general can be a bit confusing. However it is much better than the app I used before (that I forgot the name of already...) because it lets you style others and have them style you. I'm gonna stick to it for awhile as I really like the social component. A few people have style me on there already and today I tried on a bunch of suggestions and took some pics, here they are:

Outfit #1

This outfit was styled by Shawna (username @shawnarip). I actually followed a bunch of people on Whering thanks to her Youtube channel where everyone was sharing their usernames. It's super fresh and sporty, and I can actually wear long cargos soon! I love the pairing of baby blue and grey so I'm a big fan. I decided the red Ripcurl bag was a better fit as this look is more comfort-oriented and that bag is all about utility. I thought it would be fun to pair the outfits with movies from my DVD collection, maybe that's a dumb idea, I'm not sure... but this reminded me of Blue Crush, probably because of the Ripcurl bag.

Outfit #2

The second outfit was by Alice (not the usual suspect!), username @alicewonders. I felt super high fashion in this look, I think the casual tee with the boxy suit jacket was really selling me on it. I'd have to take this to an event of some kind because I can't see it being an every day wear. But totally special event material. It's fashion forwardness made me think of Zoolander, I actually like a lot of looks in those movies. Like, are they objectively insane? Yes, but so is fashion! I wish I had a bigger mirror because I feel like the pics are so terrible...

Outfit #3

The third look was styled by Nunya (username @lindsaywoolsey). This is really up my alley and I'm kind of shocked I never thought to pair this top with this dress. Good thinking, Nunya! I love the colours, I think because the reds in the socks and the top really work together. The more medieval silhouette (maybe the faux drop-waist) made me feel like a fashionable Hobbiton extra so I picked the first of the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, Fellowship of the Ring. Nunya also included a second look I'd love to try out another day.

Outfit #4

 

The final look for this post was by Cassidy (username @cassidyk). A more summer-y look, it originally came without the tank top but I decided to include it. I may have the confidence to rock a look with the belly out one day but I don't think that's today. Very girly and fun, I love browns and greens together. I think the colour and silhouette reminded me so much of fairies that I was only thinking about re-watching Epic as I was putting the outfit on.

I'd like to thank everyone who styled a look (or more!) for me. I liked all of them, even those that are slightly outside my styling preferences were so much fun and gave me something to consider. I like when my styling actually changes/grows so everyone's efforts were awesome and much appreciated! If you'd like you can style me on Whering too (though I don't know if you need an account for that or not...) and if you're on Whering feel free to comment me your username as I'd love to follow you there and try and style you. I'm not very good at it though.

And so summer ends. If it wasn't for the monstrous heatwave, I think I'd have enjoyed it more. However, it is now the start of autumn, the best of all the seasons!

SuMmEr OoTd~! {AuGuSt #1}

Hey, everyone. This will probably be my last summer OOTD post. It's been too hot to try cute outfits and I mostly spent my days in as little clothing as is socially appropriate and/or legal or wearing purely practical and raggedy stuff for work. There is no fashion runway by the cornfield...

This is actually good news though because we are approaching my favourite months! Autumn, baby! If I had to rank the autumnal months they would go as such: October, November, September. No offense to September, still an awesome month.

Much coming soon actually! I've had some awesome luck and got a bunch of free clothes, did some outlet and second-hand shopping, and have been trying an app for my closet documenting/archiving purposes. I'm still testing it out so whether it's actually good or not, I'll post about it when I give it more time.

Anyway, here's the outfit I wore last week to an outdoor evening event. We were there with friends and family, ordered some mediocre burgers, and listened to some live music. I went a little overboard with the accessorizing but since it was the last look of the summer...

I'm not actually saluting anyone in that last pic... the sun was just getting in my eyes. Ah, whatever, go, my comrades!

Dress . . . Cookie Seven {Thrifted} 

Brown Sheer Bolero . . . H&M {Bought New}

Butterfly Necklace . . . H&M {Bought New} 

Pink Heart Earrings . . . ??? {Bought New}

Purple Hair Crab . . . ??? {Bought New}

Boracay Bag . . . ??? {Gifted}

Plain Black Sandals . . .  ??? {Bought New}

Here's the accessories in a close-up. It may be a little juvenile, a bit wack, but I thought it looked quite fun.

So I often forget to post what make-up I was actually using but it's nothing crazy. I don't shop at the big box stores normally and get my make-up for cheap at outlet stores since I use it so rarely. For the eyes, I did a little ombre with 2nd pink and the 1st purple from the Divage palette. As usual, I used the brown eyeliner for some fake lash shadows. Brown mascara too, from HEMA. The lipstick is in a rather cool tone which I thought worked with the whole outfit, though I gave it a smudge so that it wasn't quite as intense.

 Here's a little more of the dress.

And that's it! A bit on all the Hobonichi stuff now. I had a lot of fun looking at the new covers and more importantly, doing this little window-shopping thing certified for me that I'm not actually that interested in Hobonichi and the fervor around it was more fun that the actual product. The only cover I wanted (and still kinda want) was the Natal Design camo, for which the price was revealed. I said I'd get it if it was around 30 euros but no more... well, I was only 100 euros off! You've got to be kidding me... it's nylon...! I mean, I'm sure the quality is amazing but I am never buying a journal cover for 130 euros. That is too insane. I also realized I could just try to make my own from a camo-patterened t-shirt my sister doesn't wear anymore myself. I'm not gonna diss anyone for liking Hobonichi or buying their stuff but I think it's very unlikely I'll order something from the official store in the coming years, even though I appreciate the collaborations with artists and the such.

Is anyone else looking forward to autumn? I literally can't wait already.
