$150 Challenge: Super Bowl Party

By -
Being a girly girl who likes comic books, war movies, football and other "guy" things, I always cause a bit of a stir with my outfits at "guy" events. Rather than try to fit in with jeans, a sport tee and sneakers, I choose to crank up the fem. For something like a Super Bowl party, I'd flip the male uniform on its head. A tee with a feminine image, colorful jeans (in case I end up sitting on the floor), killer heels, a few girly accessories, and a nice blazer to give it all formality. This party (before spinach dip, pizza and a Colts victory) adds up to $121.79.
pink jeans, Levi's 520 Low Skinny at Zappos $31.99
tee shirt, Forever 21 $8.80
stud blazer, Forever 21 $27.80
wedge buckle shoes, Forever 21 $29.80
striped bow headband, Forever 21 $3.80
purple fabric flower ring, Forever 21 $2.80
pink rhinestone ring, Forever 21 $4.80
lip stain, Victoria's Secret $12

You should do an opera post!

=D

of course, it have nothing to do with the fact that I'm going to an opera this Friday. Altho we are getting one of the cheaper tickets, so no real need to dress up...

The only opera I've every been to was Beijing Opera (yes, in Beijing), so all I know is wear something you can be creeped out in.

I know your dealing with a budget here, but every plug for a forever 21 item supports a corrupt and highly unethical company: http://www.39thandbroadway.com/hate-21/

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at ...

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
