Mirror on the Gray Wall: November 2013

I woke up ~~waaaay~~ too early this morning ..especially for a Saturday ..especially when I COULD have slept in .. until 8:30am. When YOU have nothing else to do at 7am, it only makes sense to put on a full face of makeup ..NOT. BUUUUT it's exactly what I did. I played around in my kaboodle (yes I said kaboodle) and practiced with my MAC shadows, matte colors and tints. The end result was a SUPER dark matte eye ..which ~~BASICALLY~~ put together what my outfit NEEDED to be for the day. "All black everrrr'thing".

No surprise here, I went for my leather leggings. One of these days I'll stop talking about how EVERYONE needs a pair. ~~THEY GO WITH EVERYTHING!~~ I searched through hangers filled with black blouses, tanks, tees AND then came to da da da daaaaa my black&white skull blouse with gold button details. Where has this top been hiding?!? I've only worn it once before and that was at least a year ago. I LOVED it when I wore it, but it somehow managed to fly under my radar since. Dark eye, leather leggings and a SKULL blouse. YEP, this is how my day is looking. To finish off the "oh girl you know she bad" look, I chose my NEW black with gold chrome combat boots and distressed stone "caterpillar" ring. Helllllo Saturday, I'm coming for you.

This evenings post is going to be a bit different than my usual.

The people I've met, the dear friends I've gained ..not to mention the STYLE tips and tricks I've learned from working in the store, being taken to NY and working runways and fashion events in the area.
