Put A Blazer On It




Top: Sway, Blazer: Forever 21, Jeans: United Colors of Benetton, Earrings: Cost Plus, Shoes: gift

I like the big girl attitude going down here. The blazer and pulled back hair made me feel a little corporate mixed with the blouse and flats. It's amazing that the jeans and funky earrings were all that was needed to suit it to my needs.
Beauty Tips:
- For a more polished ponytail, take a small section of hair from the bottom of your "tail", about the width of your finger, wrap it around the elastic, and secure with bobby pins on the under-side. It looks very chic and will have people wondering how the heck you were able to keep your ponytail up with just you hair. Wink!

- When I want a quick wow and I don't have time for eyeshadow, colored eye liner does the trick. I've found green and purple look good with my brown eyes and sometimes even sparky silver! Experiment to see what works best for you. Make sure to apply cleanly and close to the lash line or you may look rather silly. Work from the outside in, tapering as you go. In other words, have the outer rims a bit thicker than the inner. Oooh! Try gold for a Cinna-like flair (and a subtle nod to the Hunger Games).

Happy Word Of The Day: Lovely
