Start Throwing In the Neons

Today I went shopping for Mother's Day gifts. I have 3 moms to get to. My mum of course, Omar's mom (she is great) and his grandmother. I got my mum's and his grandma's gift down but I still have to get his mom's. I plan on getting her a handmade initial necklace from a shop on Etsy. Hopefully it comes in time :O

This is the face I make at strangers when they stare at me for being
weird and taking so many pictured of myself in public.


Earrings are from F21.

Earlier I went bike riding (and I fell off my bike :( I hurt my knee) so no heels for me today. 

I'm wearing leggings from Target. 

My shirt I'm pretty sure is also from Target except it's thrifted.I got it for a dollar! 

It has to be a couple years old because I don't ever remember seeing this at Target.

Anyway, I like it because it's denim and I love denim shirts.:)

My purse here is looooovely. I love the neon pink, although you can't really grasp the power of the neon in these pictures. I got the purse at Charlotte Russe for 5 dollahs! Last one too! I've been buying a lot of neon accessories and clothes. So, be prepared to see color splashes in the upcoming posts!

I'm excited! 

Check out my sparkly socks from F21.

 MORE fuchsia lipstick because it is awesome.

Little Black Dress

I have this dress I bought a while back. It's from H&M and it was only 10 bucks! 

I liked everything about it, the top part is some form of velvety goodness and the skirt is obviously tulle. 

The thing with "The Little Black Dress" is that you can dress it up or dress it down. Since I had previously worn this to my family's Christmas dinner, I wanted to wear it casually. I took this old button shirt from F21 to cover up the thin straps because it's still chilly. I wanted you to still be able to see the velvety part so I tied it relatively low.  It's an easy way to make a Little Black Dress casual. 

Throw in some tights and you got it.

Check out my HOT PINK nails. I really love this nail polish. Got it at Sally Beauty Supply. It literally dries within seconds, which is great for me because I cannot sit still for too long and I always mess up my nails.

Dear Bangs, 

Grow faster please. Pretty, pretty, pretty please. 

Love, 

Ale <3

I wore these socks because I wanted to give the outfit more ummff and color.

Plus, they are super warm and comfy. Gotta love Target.

This here is a really bad picture of how I wore it this Christmas. Well, that is that.

Comfy Blues

It's cold again.

Okay, so I do understand I look like a fool here, but I like this picture because you can see my dog getting ready to poop.:D

Check out this cool pin! My boyfriend go it for me at Navy Pier. I love it!

Today I did not do my hair and it's weird looking but HEY!

It's spring, I KNOW but I live in Chicago so the weather can never make up its mind. Today I was so tired, I hadn't had good sleep in forever (Until today. I took like a 5 hour nap. YES.) so I wanted to wear something comfortable. The sweater I have here is awesome, my boyfriend (Omar) gave it to me. His aunt had brought it to him as a gift from her trip to Barcelona and well, let's be honest it's a tad bit girly so I kept it. It's like this pretty blue (periwinkle?) color with this cool feather turning into birds design on it. Now remember I am 5'2? Well, Omar is 6'1 and rather large compared to me, so this sweater is pretty big and so I normally wear leggings with it but being 48 degrees I wore jeggings! These jeggings are actually thrifted Levi's . I got them for only 3 dollars at Unique thrift store and they fit great! 

Since the weather and the colors blue and black can be a little dull I decided to wear some bright fuchia lipstick to give it that spring touch. It's actually some one dollar Wet n' Wild lipstick. Not the best quality but it did the trick this morning. To add a bit more color I decided to wear these Navajo like printed socks that showed through my Docs (which Omar also gave to me!)

Embracin' the Asian

About a week ago I decided to get a haircut and while I asked for a trim on my very long bangs I ended up with these. 

I just look Asian.

I'd like to mention I am 19 years old and 5'2. Yes that short, oh well. Now, I decided to start a blog because I am a very "thrify" (ahmm cheap) person but I like to look good. I'd like to share my beliefs and tricks to looking fashionable without spending all the money in the world. I am not saying I am some crazy fashion designing fashionista, I just like what I like and you can take what you like from this.   

With that being said let's move on to yesterdays outfit. I really wanted to wear this great navy blazer I got at H&M for 20$ (originally 50$) and I took advantage of this crazy Chicago weather to wear it. I finally shaved my legs and put some shorts I had purchased last summer at the thrift store for only 3$. This way I wouldn't look businessy. I had recently got some comfy thigh highs from Target for about 3$  and since it was warm but not hot I threw them on (hella uncomftable though.) I used an old racerback tank from Urban Outfitters to give the outfit some color. I wore my Doc Martens because well, I love them and they look good with anything!! (not really) Finally I picked one of my favorite purses, I got it on sale for 20$ at Urban Outfitters (terrible quality btw) I felt  the off white complimented the shirt.
