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.

New Tattoo + OotD 4

So a week ago I got new tattoo. I love it so much. And it was done my an ex co-worker, he's so nice!
So It's based on my most favoritest video game ever! Rule of Rose

The next day I went out to look for Oxfords, Doc Martens, and Vertical Striped Tights:

Ended up going to TJ Max, Target, Tuesday Morning, and walking my whole entire mall & got all this...

• honeycomb/fishnet tights ($18) from Lane Bryant ((expensive, but the only place I can find tights that fit my thick thighs))
• black jeans ($20), cake pop baking pan ($14) from TJ Max ((found a pair of oxfords but they were high heals, I don't do high heals))
• black and white striped beenie ($8) Forever21 ((btw, my F21 doesn't sell any plus sized clothes)) 
• pack of 24 glitters ($15) and pack of 9 buttons for craft/sewing project ($2) from Tuesday Morning ((not clothing but what the hey))

Anyways so I wore this outfit when I went shopping and bought said items.

OotD 3 Sweater Season?

Just so you know Washington State's weather is VERY bipolar. So when it switches seasons, it never really wants to make up it's mind. So I'll be freezing in the morning and the sunny around noon and then raining in the afternoon. yep. That's Washington.  Anyways I'm so excited for Fall 'cause it's Sweater season. And time for all the warm fabrics and colors. Just need to make sure to layer in case of temperature change. But I LOVE layering as well.

So I went to OldNavy about a week ago just to get a jacket 'cause they were on sale for $15. but of course when I got there they only had like 5 left and they were all Mediums or Smalls. But that's okay 'cause I browsed a little and ended up finding a perfect shirt that I really needed, plus some cute earrings.

I love how long the sleeves are and how off the shoulder it is for the pure fact that I have two shoulder tattoos that I like showing off. 

And I've had this Punk looking sweater that I got from the Fashion Bug for months now and had no idea how to style it with the clothes that were in my closet.  It looks awesome with the plainness of this black long sleeve, and even better with a belt too.
