OOTD: Baby Shower

A couple weeks ago, I went to a baby shower for my cousin. I would say my first baby shower, but....yeah. The first one I went to where I didn't want to drown myself in insipid people. ha! It was at a cute, upper scale restaurant in the Bucktown area in Chicago. If I was going to a baby shower, than I was dressy spring-ish. Nevermind the fact it was September. The dress I've only worn once (on my cruise) and I just wanted a reason to wear my tights! :)

Have you noticed how blonde I am??????? Literally....

OOTD: Cruise Dinner

 

I haven't done OOTD is soooo long. I was going thru my pictures from my cruise and saw a couple pictures I could use. They are so-so, but I'm trying to push out some posts so here it goes.

Pretty much everything on the cruise was uber casual. I mean it's vacation right? But for the dinners it was a nice change of pace to dress up. And I love dressing up! They had dress code rules, but definitely weren't sticklers for them. For example, a couple at our table would wear sweats and a wife beater. I mean SERIOUSLY? C'mon! 

Dress: Target $30

Shall: Forever 21 $18

OOTD: St Patty's Celebration/"Surprise" Party

This month has been filled with St Patty's parties. March is a great month. I went to Forest Park to meet up in few bars for some drinking before my friend hosted a 'surprise' party which is code for sex toy party. I'm not understanding why its called a 'surprise' party...

Anyway I wanted to wear something that would fit both parties well. I liked how with my belt my top and skirt made it look like I was wearing a dress. PS my green tights rule! haha.

 The 3 day bender I was on, you think I was Kesha or something...but it really left no time to take photos of my makeup or remember what I used each night. Because it was different every night.

 Thank you Effen Black Cherry Vodka.

 Closeup of my eye, after I ripped off my lashes.

I won the best creative costume for the night.

This is my lovely bestie. Yes, I did his makeup! It was fun, and interesting. I'm so used to mine and other women's. But overall it came out good. In case your wondering, he was a white Foxy Brown. haha.

Shot taken on the red line of my makeup. I love those lashes! 

 Peyton as a shark for Halloween. He hated it. 

Totally spent after tugging his costume off.
