I always feel like I’m supposed to be slightly more proper or slightly softer spoken when wearing pastels,haha. I love wearing lavender and mint! My favorite color combo for sure! Even my lips are lavender today! =) I haven’t worn this chiffon bolero in so long… it’s from a Japanese brand I’ve been obsessed with (for years) called Angelic Pretty. Japanese street fashion is one of god’s gift to mankind—seriously! haha.

I took some photos without my glasses since I think it fits the outfit more but I also took some with my glasses because I feel like I look so odd without them… like my face is missing a body part, haha.

What’s better than flower headbands, rainbow skirts, skeleton tshirts, and studded vests? Nothing! I’ve been dying to show off this beautiful skirt I got some time ago as well as this studded vest I made with an old jean jacket from Goodwill. Sorry my hair is hiding most of the studs, haha. It was a fun project though and it saves so much money, I suggest everyone try it instead of spending $100+ on a studded jacket. Goodwill jacket + studs = No more than $20!

What’s this “festival look” that all these online stores are defining? Has this always been a thing and I just didn’t get the memo until this year? And can I wear a “festival look” when there are no festivals going on? I’m just going to have a festival at my workplace then! So I finally made the floral headband I’ve been dreaming about. It’s so big and loud and poofy and I love it! The blue matches perfectly with this patterned blazer I got in one of my Goodwill finds (it has a matching shirt and skirt too, oh my!) I didn’t want blue to overtake the entire outfit though… so I threw in some yellow lipstick! I’m really loving the OCC lip tars lately! The best part about them is that they don’t taste like lipstick! Am I the only person who HATES the taste of normal lipstick? FYI if you’re like me and are trying to find not so gross tasting lipstick I would get OCC lip tars or NARS lipsticks / jumbo lip pencils. I swear by these two brands’ lip products =)
