Lolita Little Red - Halloween 2013

So I'm really into making Halloween costumes. It's fun plus it's hard to find something I exactly want that's plus sized and doesn't cost a million dollars. This year I was Little Red Riding Hood but with a Lolita twist. My boyfriend was the wolf ~>
I made the white skirt and the red apron that can be tied in the front or the back. So these will be pieces I can wear irl or with other costumes. The polkadot shirt was thrifted, the white V-neck was OldNavy, Tights from Lane Bryant, Shoes from Walmart, I made the rose hair clip, and finally the hood was actually made by my grandmother for my mother's Little Red costume when she was younger than I am now. So it's like 40 years old, super vintage. I love how this costume turned out! (plus my new tattoo kind of matched it <3)

And I really love how I did my dolly inspired makeup, too bad my red lips never last that long. oh wells.
Hopefully there will be more Lolita style fashion here to come.

Fashion Icon?: Awkward. Jenna

I grew up with MTV, like a lot of people, and it kind of saddens me that they aren't playing as much music anymore, but one show that I really love is Awkward. It's really funny and each character has something awesome about themselves. Plus I've always said, "Life is full of awkward moments" And this show proves it.
The main character Jenna Hamilton is a natural beauty with a layed back style that I think is very imitateble
 and should be.
She's always got a pony pulled to one side (that kind of reminds me of Katniss from the Hunger Games) and a really cute butterfly necklace on. Plus she's one of those prettier without makeup kind of people. which I'm all for.

Her's really isn't a fishtail braid, but I think it's a fancier version.

(me pre-bang cut and dye job)

One thing I really wanted but want even more now 'cause of Jenna is this gorgeous necklace:

Her's was a butterfly, but of course mine would be a moth.

$74 in bronze.
