Fall Faves!

Hey guys, so todays post is all about my favorites for fall! Basically everything I have been wearing non stop or just gushing over!
 
 
 Sorry the picture is a little blury*
  • My Floral Vintage Cross body Bag- This whole year I have really been loving vintage floral prints, and this is no exception. This bag literally matches with everything, and even if it doesn't it still does to me lol. I wear this all the time. Purchased from random garage sale
  • High-waisted shorts- This is my first store bought pair of high-waisted jean shorts , and I really really like them. The fit is really good and I love the color, plus I can easily style these with anything and everything. Purchased from L'patricia
  • Sexiest Fantasies: Love Struck- This stuff smells amazing and is a dupe to Victoria's Secrets love spell. I get a lot of compliments on this body spray whenever I wear it! This is a nice fruity smell and I would really recommend it. Plus you can buy it in a set for about $8. Purchased from Wal-Mart
  • Black Slouchy Cardigan- My best friend had to ask me how many times am I going to wear this cardi! I wear this about twice a week and like all my other favorites it goes with everything!! This cardigan is very good quality, it has not snagged and, I have washed it multiple times and it has not faded at all! Purchased from Forever 21
  • Hot pink bow sweater- I love this sweater! I bought it last year and wear it a lot. I like the fact that it has small holes in it so that its not too warm. It's light enough for the fall and you can  layer it for winter. Purchased from Hollister
  • Hoops- I am a hoops girl through and through. I feel like hoops make everyone look better. They are a nice change from studs and give you a sassier look. At one time I wore hoops for 2 weeks straight! Purchased from Wal-Mart
  • Equate Facial Moisturizer- I have been in the market for a new moisturizer, because my clean and clear just stopped working on me. At first I was going to buy the Neutrogena version of this, but I read the ingredients on the back on both of them side to side and they were almost identical. This has been doing my skin some good, and it is definitely being moisturized! Purchased from Wal-Mart
  • Conair Blow Dryer- My only hair product, but I have really enjoyed this heating tool! I used it before I straightened my hair and my best friends hair and it worked great. it wasn't really expensive and it also came with a diffuser and a concentrator attachment. Purchased from Wal-mart

Goodwill Haulellujuah

Hey guys! So today I went to the thrift store and bought a few items!! I took a picture of what I bought (shown below) and later on I will be doing a styling post! The items all together cost about $25.





 
 
 
 High waisted "Lee" Jeans- The whole point of me going to the thrift store was for me to look for some high waisted jeans, and I found them. AND they fit to a T!

Green Oversized Sweater- To be honest I just picked this up because of the gorgeous color!

Large Men's Jersey- I have been looking for a men's  jersey that will cover my bum and this fit really good. I actually bought this last week and wore it on Monday. I took a selfie on my instagram if you want to see how it looks. My instagram is  @thommaaasss

Tommy Hilfiger Pullover- This besides my pants was the steal of the day! This pullover only cost me $4 werrrrrkkkkkk! I tried it on in the store and I loved the fact that it covers my behind. I will definitely be wearing this on those extra cold days, probably with some leggings and boots. I also really like that the collar is grey.

Chilly School Daze

Has anyone noticed the weather as of late? It's getting pretty cold outside.(at least where I live) Which means different outfits, more layers and darker colors? Which also means that I'm planning to show you guys, what I wear to school on chilly days!
     By the way, don't worry I didn't forgot about the "Three Item Challenge" I actually want to do it as my first YouTube video, and do a post simultaneously when I make the video, which might take a little bit of time.

                                                                       Quick Tip
 
Trade in your unflattering jacks for a sleek oversized Cardigan. This Cardigan is a great alternative for jackets in chilly weather. Who doesn't love tribal print and the best part is that its a neutral color which means it can be paired with tons of pieces in your closet! You could easily pair this cardi with some high waisted shorts, knee high socks, and closed toed shoe. As for the top go crazy! Or you can just throw on some jeans a nice shirt and some funky flats.(You can add a scarf to both of these looks also!) Either way you will be stylish and warm!

Shoe Must Have + 2 Looks

Shoe Must have for School!!

Chuck Taylors are sooo versatile, you can wear them with skirts, dresses, jeans, shorts, pretty much anything, you want, and it will definitely dress down your outfit! These are definitely a must have for me because they literally go with everything in my closet. (I like wearing converse with knee high socks, kind of gives them a school girl look). But If you are buying your first pair I would definitely go with a more neutral color like white or black! Here is how I would style chucks for school!


 
 
 
 

 
 
 














 
1st look
White crop top, slight harem pant/trouser and white chucks, this look is very simple and is easy to throw on for class or running errands. I choose the slight harem style sweatpants to get away from your just average sweatpants. (you can add more colorful jewelry to make this outfit a little bit brighter!)
2nd look
Option A: A tight fitting tiger dress or any animal of your choice, and white chucks. The chucks will really dress down this look and the dress is a bit more edgy! I would add a camouflage  jacket also to the look for those of you who are uncomfortable with sleeveless dresses!
Option B: Floral print cut out dress, white chucks. This dress just has girly written all over it and at first glance you would probably want to wear it with heals or strappy sandals. but by pairing it with chucks, this can be easily made into a cute school outfit you can even dress it down further by adding an oversized slouchy cardigan!

DIY: Maxi Cardigan (no sew)

So I was thinking of buying a maxi cardigan online, but then I came up with an idea!!!
Instead of paying $30 for a maxi cardigan, I could just Do it myself!




So here's the idea in 2 easy steps!
  1. Go to the thrift store and try to find a maxi dress with sleeves or find an old maxi dress with sleeves in your closet!
  2. Then when you get home simply cut straight down the middle, and that's it!

I am going to try it later, when I have more funds , but if you want to go ahead and try it send me a picture so, I can see how yours turned out!( jessdoit412@gmail.com is my e-mail)
