On a whim, one of my besties and I decided to enjoy Pennsylvania’s taxless clothing shopping at the King of Prussia mall. It is a huge mall but with pretty much all the stores we have in the DC area. I did find an item to add to my wish list – a pair of Tom Ford sunglasses that I can’t afford at the moment. Haha. But they’re so much fun! See below and don’t mind the hanging price tag 🙂

I decided on being comfortable but to also wear my Frye boots to break them in. For my pants, I just wore my UnderArmour leggings. Definitely one of my favorite clothing items. On top, I wore a loose knit sweater from Forever 21. Makeup – Makeup Forever waterproof eyeliner and MAC lipstick in Media.

On Thursdays, I usually post a bathroom selfie on Instagram of what I’m wearing to work that day. This tradition started because there are an unusual number of bathroom stalls; which makes for good perspective. A fair warning, however, I don’t have a constantly new wardrobe by season. I tend to buy pieces that are classic and I will wear for awhile, especially for work. For play, on the other hand…

My usual uniform for work is a dress with a blazer. Or a pencil skirt and blouse. But because I am avoiding heels at the moment, I’m wearing flats. Why am I avoiding heels at the moment? Well a couple of weeks ago, I played in my 2nd golf tournament and always tend to forget my favorite tee (yes, I’m weird but my mom gave it to me) after driving the ball. I ran back to last hole and slightly twisted my ankle. Golf shoes do not equal running shoes.

Okay, back to THIS post. Haha. This is my OOTD (Outfit of the Day). Black ankle pants from Ann Taylor recently. Pink flats. Pink silk blouse. Black pinstripe vest.

Although I technically did not have a costume for Halloween, I did dress according to the tradition for a couple of events. One being a Roaring 20’s party earlier in the month for my friend Tiffany’s birthday. See below:

The dress and headpiece were from Zara. Similar items here and here.

Hair: a combination of tutorials from YouTube. For long hair and finger waves. FYSA – I have unruly, thick hair. It was nearly impossible for the finger waves to stay put. But I tried. By the end of the night, my bobby pins were falling out but hey I had fun 😉

For the night of Halloween, I decided to get in the spirit by decorating my face into an interpretation of the Mexican Day of the Dead sugar skull makeup. This was done with tons of black creme liner, black eye shadow, black pencil liner, mascara and half baked eye shadow from my Urban Decay Naked 2 palette.

Gives you the creepy-crawlies, yeah? Haha.

And lastly, for my bestie Nile’s birthday, we went out and I decided on a vampy look with a dark purple lip and my signature smoky eye of course. I wore a skull dress that I bought from a boutique in Australia. Don’t have the link at the moment. The lipstick is Smoked Purple from MAC.
