$150 Challenge: Meeting His Parents

By -
Tips my co-worker's girlfriend could have used when meeting his conservative parents:

- Remember when you and their son were doing donuts on the ice? Don't share that.
- That time you helped the cops solve a murder may not be the best way to impress.
- They don't really want to see your roller derby bruises.
- Don't let them know your bedroom is decorated like a crime scene.
- Maybe save the drag racing stories for next time.
- If you're worried your nerves will get to you, dress cute and patiently listen.

dress, J. Crew at the awesome clearance price of $69.99
floral cardigan, Old Navy $29.50
nude heels, Rampage on Endless $38.95
flower ring, Topshop $15

However, this shop has a lot more to offer than cats of all sizes. These laser cut wooden earrings range from fun swirling designs to intricate peacocks. Best of all, the earrings I've featured here today all cost only $12.95. (Although the shop sells some other higher priced goods).

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.

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.
