What I'm Wearing
Spiked Hoop Earrings: ALDO | Necklace: ICING | Fur Lapel: H&M
Mustard Blazer: thrifted ($4)
Tan Button-Down: H&M Men's (gift)
Brown Leather Skirt: ZARA ($22)

Okay...maybe I'm not living ON THE EDGE but these earrings certainly push me a few feet closer to it than usual! I really like how my accessories transformed this cute look into a more edgy look.

My hairstyle helped me taken an even bigger step towards the edge. But the style derived completely by chance. Most mornings, I like to play around with styling it and whatever happens...happens. On this morning...this happened, and I decided to run with it. If possible, I'll do a tutorial (for those interested!)

What I'm Wearing
Spiked Hoop Earrings: ICING | Black Pashmina [Head] Scarf: XSRE | Fur Lapel: H&M ($17)
Black Tee: H&M ($5)
High Waisted Jeans: thirfted ($2)
TANDY Platform Pump w/ Ankle Strap: BAKERS (gift)

On Sunday, January 6, 2013, I did something I could only ever dream of doing: I attended a casting call for ANTM at Colonie Center in Albany. I'd been told time and time again that I should model, but I just never knew how to go about getting in that "industry"...and this was a huge step for me. The night before, I was freaking out, so I looked to my best friends and Facebook, of course, for consolation, advice, and motivation. I was overwhelmed by the amount of support I received and I realized that it really wouldn't hurt to go. And it didn't! I met some amazing people with personalities to match! Now, if I make the show, how fabulous would that be?

I was complimented numerous times on my outfit (which surprised me)! When choosing what to wear, I decided that something too glam would be distracting because the main focus of a casting call is your presence, personality, and performance (as far as your walk and how you present the first two "P's"). A friend of mine had the right idea though, "If you go, just wear your flyest t-shirt and jeans."

And that's what I did!

Don't forget to take my reader survey if you haven't already! (It's at the bottom of that post!)

What I'm Wearing
Peach Scarf: XSRE ($14)
Fur Lapel: H&M ($17)
Necklace: Charming Charlie | Earrings & Bracelets: CR
Cream Blazer: thrifted ($3)
Floral Denim Blouse: thrifted ($3)
Cream Belt: Wet Seal | Cream Socks: Forever 21
Magenta Pants: Forever 21
Brown Riding Boots: Matisse Footwear (my sister's closet)

The magenta of my pants inspired me to address my lips and, thus, dress my lips! I've been building my collection of lip colors and the fact that I was able to match the pants perfectly made me happy. And look how such a little touch adds so much!

I'm using a mixture of Revlon's Just Bitten Lipstain (Crave) and Just Bitten Kisssable Balm Stain (Lovesick). It turns out the the lipstain covers more surface area (I have some big ole lips!) and the balm stain give a more saturated color. I want them every suitable color! (I currently have four of each!)

I hope this inspires you to dress your lips to complete an outfit in the future. Imagine how red lips stand out with a black and white outfit or how nude lips can allow an outfit to really shine on its own! Play around with it! Find colors you love that compliment you and have fun with it!

My friend Jasmine took these photos for me and I try to have fun while I shoot, but it was so cold out! Jeez. I was glad when we finished in less than 15 minutes!
