Look1: A Fresh Approach

A Fresh Approach

This was a very fresh and clean look I put together about 2 weeks ago when I initially got over my chicken pox.
 I combined things I wouldn't usually and created this new look, A Fresh Approach which is my mindset for the coming semester in Uni, a fresh start and different approach to studying and my life. 
This is a good transition look from holidays to school time and it can even be a liming(relaxing) outfit..

Jewelry: Silver is not the best metal for my skintone but with the right outfit it works well. The earrings are chandelier, slightly antique "silver" ones with cyan and light yellow-green stones from Wonderful World(TT) and the bright, silver bangles are from Ardene in Canada(CA)

Shirt: This white, cropped, rolled-sleeve, shirt, my mum purchased from Bang Bang for me with the intention of me using it for church. A little short but I think I can still use it ;)

Shorts: If you check my post before this one you'll see the story of my green, matelot shorts if you want a tutorial/DIY. Originally purchased at Westport(TT) I believe (R.I.P Westport) 

Shoes: Qupid Trench-01 (Nude Pat-PU)
The newest shoes to my collection are these nude, Qupid pumps I bought on a whim in Micles(TT) Grand Bazaar for an okay price. Haven't broken them in yet but they look really good on :3 
Will review them once I've worn them.

Bag: The cyan, envelope clutch/ shoulder bag, is one of my fave bags but I don't wear it often. Purchased at Micles for under $100TT if my memory serves me right but the first time I used it a screw from it went missing :( (only used it once)

Make up: No styling was done sorryyy >.< A suggestion is below

Alternative  

(Not exact pieces I am wearing(Only shoes))

Here is a little make up styling tip for this look. 
-To have a polished yet casual look, put your hair up in a bun or a sleek ponytail. 
-A bright, pink lip and fuchsia pink glittered nails add more ''umph!'' and steer the look away from a mint ad. 
-A simple cat-eye with a peach wash will do for the eyes and light blush for the cheeks so it does not create a clown effect on your face.

Summary: Green shorts, Blue-Green Bag, White cropped shirt, Nude pumps, Silver Jewelry, Pink lips

I hope it was inspiring. :)

New posts on their way! Tutorial(in this post)

New post coming soonnn

I'm trying to make things work without my phone. I seriously need to improve my repertoire of tech gadgets. Why oh why didn't I get a job this vacation >.< Oh well.

I went spending and spending these two weeks after the chicken pox. 

I was cooped up for so long (not really... I enjoyed every minute @.@ kdramas) 

When I was released from my cave I just went crazy... I didn't buy much but the amount of walking and store checking I did I could be an Olympian in shopping. 

Every store worth anytime I checked out in Port of Spain and Central. I still didn't hit up south since my emancipation but I did frequent there often right before I got sick.

Some of the stores I bought stuff from were:
Micles
Wonderful World
Shoeaholics
Bang Bang
J&K Signature Styles

These are my most frequented local stores, Bang Bang not so much because it's far from where I live but when I did go I was able to pick up some nice items during their sale. 

Here's a sneak peek of the upcoming outfit ;)

Post Paint Party Duds

Green, paint, distressed, matelot, shorts :D 

Pic doesn't do it justiceee. So this is part of the reprise or repeating as I've worn these shorts a lot (used to be off-white) and now with this paint makeover I can continue to wear them yayz!

A little artsy shorts never hurt nobodyyy. Unless the paint is still running and you get wet... Make sure and wash before wearing! :) Maybe I should do a tutorial for these shorts...

Paint Party Shorts
Step 1: Buy ticket to a paint party
Step 2: Purchase light(pastel or white) coloured shorts
Step 3: Attend party in shorts and get soaked in different colours of paint
 (avoid carrying Iphone)
Step 4: Get washed down with a powerful hose
Step 5: Allow remaining paint to soak into fabric for about 2hours
Step 6: Lightly rinse shorts in cold water and leave out on balcony to dry
Step 7: While still damp, put in a plastic bag and leave shut for 6hours 
Step 8: Remove shorts from bag and hang to dry
Step 9: Tell your mum about the shorts
Step 10: Let her handle the rest
Step 11: Your shorts will now be magically clean and have lovely worn in paint stains

Okay okay, so from Steps 9-11 you just gotta wash your shorts like a normal coloured item and put them in the dryer.
When I figure out how to do this without going to a party I'll seriously post :3

Thnx for your patience
