The Graphic Tee Revisited (Plus Bad Hair Day Fix)

In the beginning of my outfit of the day blogging days, I blogged a look that I called “Rockstar Chic”. This post focused on the grungy look of one of my favorite thrift purchases, a graphic tee. Simply put, I love this tee!! It is what’s being sold in stores at a more expensive price.  The best part is my tee was really inexpensive!

I’m having a bad hair day today because….well it’s a long and sorted story lol. Anyhoo, the very simple solution for a bad hair day is a long scarf tied to imitate the long flow of hair and off to the side for a bit of “femininity”. This way, you still feel girly and not like you’re wearing the scarf out of necessity (even though you are). As I’ve previously said in my first “Style Lusts” for this month, you can use leopard print as a neutral. That’s exactly what I did with my scarf. At the same time, I’ve in effect added another layer of flavor to my look.

Since it’s Friday and we all want to get out and enjoy this weekly holiday lol, I’ll wrap up this post. I wanted to show a real life display of incorporating my style lusts. I have on boyfriend (husband for me lol) jeans that are lower on the waist and bun area. This allows for relaxed look. This look is a bit grungy but more polished than the first version with this tee. Let me know if you like the look!!

Happy Friday Cupcakes!! 💋

In the Mood for “Mints”

I was hesitant at first but I gave into Jewelmint and Shoemint. Yes…I didn’t think that I would EVER be interested in either but we all know the saying: “never say never”. I now have an abundance of Mint products but it was my recent purchases from Shoemint that has me stoked. I purchased Pauline in wine first, as I was immediately drawn to these. I loved the sleek and abnormal design. The color is one that I do not have in my shoe collection. Score! When I received the shoes I was just as happy as when I first saw them on the site, plus I got a free Night Owl necklace with my purchase. The shipping was great and I am a stickler about shipping because I HATE waiting on packages. It was an all around good experience with Shoemint so I decided to make another purchase after I saw a video on YT that showcased yet another pair of Shoemints: the coveted “Edith” in blush. When this shoe came in the mail and I saw them “live” I fell helplessly in love. These shoes are not what I am normally drawn to but I am happy I took a chance. They fit perfect (I’d suggest ordering a full size up), the quality is great and they are comfortable. I saw this shoe on Steve Madden’s website for about $124, so I think for $49.99 these shoes are a steal! I paid $49.99 because I used a coupon code for $30 off. The Shoemint membership is $79.99 a month but you can “skip” a month for free if you’d like. I try to always use a coupon code so I’ve never paid full price for a Mint product. If you like the pics you see, take a peak at Shoemint!
