Sucked into a Black Hole

Hello everyone! As the title suggests, both my free time and fashion interest were quickly and violently sucked into a black hole this semester. Even though I love to dress cute, I was worked to the bone and could barely manage to shower everyday, let alone plan outfits.


A pro to this: I didn't have time to go shopping, thus saving me from spending money.
A con to this: I didn't have time to go shopping, thus preventing me from buying all the cute things I want.

This being said, I did have a few outfits I was proud of during this time that I managed to capture. First and foremost, my Halloween costume.
I made both of these costumes! I am Sophia Grace from Youtube and Ellen show fame. I made the tulle skirt thanks to an online tutorial like this one. My whole outfit cost me about $15.

My boyfriend's Charlie Brown costume was just a Goodwill polo with black duct tape. The polo was 1/2 off (about $2.50) and the duct tape was about $4. The hat isn't really a part of the costume,but he insisted on wearing it. This is the first time in our long relationship that he wore a real costume, so I was not about to argue!
Here's me about to enjoy some live music and drinks with my bestie. The dress is from Body Central ($5), the belt from Charlotte (probably less than $5), and the scarf from Target (less than $10, and a staple in my cold weather wardrobe). Thanks to the instagramming, you can't really tell, but I am wearing sage green tights. I love colored tights, but I like to keep them somewhat subdued, like navy blue, army green, or a mustard yellow if I feel daring enough. I get my tights for $5 at Target.
