Brown Ruffle Boots - Styles for Less

(same jacket in this COD)

[Right] Entire outfit
[Left] [Colorful Tip] When finding jeans that flare out at the bottom, I like finding a pair that just almost touch the ground. Why? Because it gives the illusion that you're taller...and for me personally, I've always wanted to be taller. Petite people represent! :D Especially since these pants don't start at your hips, it has three buttons and it starts just barely above the belly button. By tucking in my purple lace tank top into my pants, it shows off where the pants start through the sheerness of the taupe colored top and it gives the illusion that my legs start somewhere higher. Therefore, it gives the impression that I'm tall.

Because I have been just wearing skinny jeans as my go-to bottoms ever since the beginning of the summer season, I was extremely excited when I saw these paints at Wet Seal in the buy-one-get-one-for-a-penny clearance section for two reasons.

One: I have been on the lookout to adding more lighter bottoms to my wardrobe and up until this purchase I have only been successful in owning a white pair of shorts from Styles for Less and white skinny jeans that I bought off from a friend who had her own little Facebook closet sale. (AKA they were only 3 dollars) Cue the wallet approved thumbs up? :3

Two: I am finally able to experiment with different types of jean shapes. Hopefully, I'll be able to match these jeans up to create other future outfits. (:

Hope you enjoyed this outfit! (:

Smile! for COD #5

Oops....I haven't done a COD bloggy entry in awhile huh....?...I'll try to do them more often. Hopefully once a week? or three times a month at least...ANYWAYS! Without further ado..tah dah!

Leopard Print Scarf - Styles for Less
Brown Knit Cardigan - Styles for Less
Grey Tank Top - Papaya
Brown Pleather Bomber Jacket - Papaya
Striped Shorts - hand me down from a friend
Black leggings - Christmas present from a friend
Brown Ankle Boots - Styles for Less

Here's a close up of my ankle boots. I really like them. (: I've been trying to find ankle boots that I like since I saw a YouTube video from Wendy's Lookbook. I'll add her information in the Colorful Links section below. It's already hard enough to find a pair of ankle boots that I like because I'm very picky with shoes because they're so expensive. Then, it's even harder finding shoes my size because my feet are tiny. ;^;

That about wraps it up for this COD! Stay warm!

Smile today!

Smile! for COD #4

Yesterday morning, the roads were all foggy! Last night was pretty chilly too, so I figured since today I'm going to be out all day it wouldn't hurt to layer up! (Neither would it hurt to throw on a scarf.)

Striped Two Layer Top - Papaya

Cardigan - Express
Skinny Jeans - Styles For Less
Scarf - Styles For Less

I'm pairing this outfit with my grey Converse today. [Sidenote] My feet are so small that I had to buy a kid's size 3. Oh wells! At least they were cheaper!

[Colorful Tip]
Express is expensive for their regular retail prices, but rightly so because their quality is really nice. Also if you don't mind looking through their Clearance section, there's some pretty good deals there. I bought this purple Cardigan for $23.99 and it was originally $50, so I'm not complaining. Express is also having their semi-annual Clearance sale right now. I think it's worth looking into. I will also add a helpful link in the Colorful Links section if you like what you see. (;

[Colorful Tip]
Papaya has very affordable, stylish clothing. Many clothing pieces in my closet from there. Even better is when they have things on sale. (; Happy shopping!

Stay warm!

Smile today!
