I'm Over It - Overalls

I’m Over It – Overalls

In case you didn’t know, then I will remind you…overalls are back. This trend comes from the 1980’s and 1990’s. This spring’s hottest fashion trend was first made for farmers and mechanics. The 2015 is full of comfortable, practical and incredibly stylish variations of overalls . There are awesome modern designs with slim fits which ideally accentuate wearer’s body. I tried to find the best fit…

Easter Sunday

Easter is a day spring dresses hop out with pastels, white and floral from head to toe at Church. Or, if you aren’t a Church goer… that’s okay, many people do an Easter brunch (or an excuse to drink before 12) I’m not here to judge you just talk about fashion. (more…)

Orange Is The New Black

I hope you got enough black from the Black On Black on Black post I did a few weeks ago.

It’s spring and I’ve been waiting so long to wear summer dresses. It’s still a little chilly in the morning and during the day with a light breeze. Luckily, we haven’t hit 100 degree scorching hot weather here in Texas yet. So pairing some booties or closed toed flats will definitely keep your toes nice and…

Thrifty – Your Money Looks Better In The Bank Than On Your Feet

Your money looks better in your bank than on your feet. Yes, you read that correctly. This dress I’m wearing is from White House Black Market and is reatil price $160 and I paid $1 for it at a thrift store. You can find good quality clothing without paying full price.

You want to invest in good clothes, but at a reasonable and affordable price. Nothing is wrong with buying what you can afford…

Black On Black On Black

Whelp, February is near an end and the feeling of spring creeping up in March excites me. In Texas, we’ve had the coldest week with snow and ice. It’s hard to believe Spring is just around the corner… EEEK! Since winter is close to an end (at least the season, maybe not the weather) I’m trying to get all my winter clothes to good use before they go to the back of my closet, and I break out summer…

Since it’s technically still fall, until a couple weeks…it’s not terribly surprising I’m still talking talking about winter attire. One trend I absolutely loved this fall was pink coats. (more…)

Happily Gray - How To Choose Neutrals For Your Wardrobe

Happily Gray – How To Choose Neutrals For Your Wardrobe

Typically, I default to black because rumor has it that it’s slimming or because it seems the easiest to match and goes with almost anything. When it comes to picking out shoes, jackets, purses, black is my go to color by default. However, I would encourage you to at least explore other neutrals aside from black. (more…)

Red and animal print with cowboy boots ❤️👌

Hey Y’all,

So this has been done before, and will, no doubt, be done a million more times, but I think if done right these are hilarious. I’m going to be as common as a Belieber or One Directioner (are they still popular?), and give you the male opinions on female fashion/beauty trends. For the record, I know all these men in some capacity, whether it’s a brother, a friend, an old high school class clown, a partner’s hubby or boyfriend, a hot guy that I may have briefly dated/hooked up with (no I’m not saying I had sex with them, but I don’t kiss and tell, regardless…often), or a super sexy man I may or may not have met in a bar on New Year’s Eve and made out with when the ball dropped, anyways, these are all men who have been or are in my life that are in their 20s. I have given each male a nickname that relates to them (you might not get them, but I do haha). This is so you don’t go crazy stalker on my men, their mine so back off;) jk. Here’s the panel left to right [feel free to click on the picture to get a closer look;) ]: Mysterious Architect, Hollywood, Tiger’s Class Clown, Diapers (known him since he wore them…ps he wore them until almost 4), Toronto Blue Jay, AllStar Jock, Handsome Neighbor, Oklahoma Boy, Army Strong, The Comedian, Tan Man, and Mr. Randi…enjoy!

Also, I provided them with some reference pictures to help with any confusion LOL

#1: Girls with bright/bold lipstick, like a red, hot pink, or plum color? HOLLYWOOD: “Good for some occasions, but I think less is more.” MR. RANDI: “That’s like all the colors there are. Am I supposed to pick one? Or give you a general comment about lipstick?” ALLSTAR JOCK: “Lipstick is a dynamic trend that….nah I’m kidding. I think lipstick looks good if you have good lips, and I’ve seen girls look dayum good in all shades, except the black/emo look. I, personally, like the deep red, seeeeexy!” OKLAHOMA BOY: “I prefer the lighter the better. Not a fan of bright red lipstick. There’s other ways to stick out rather than bright lipstick!” MYSTERIOUS ARCHITECT: “I can dig red lipstick if other stuff seems toned down. Super bright lipstick just screams too much makeup….which makes me think you’re covering something up.” HANDSOME NEIGHBOR: “Works better with a pale complexion.” TORONTO BLUE JAY: “Plum color lipstick.” DIAPERS: “Yes.” TAN MAN: “No.” THE COMEDIAN: “Lipstick always seemed like too much for me. I like subtle make up. Also, the color they pick hardly ever matches mine.” HAHA I don’t think that helped me decide to rock a shade or not when I go out this weekend….

#2: Favorite look for a girl (I.E. Clothing)? ALLSTAR JOCK: “Favorite look, besides yoga pants and a tight workout shirt? Winter time, hmmm, I like a good pair of jeans and a plaid shirt or any kind of fitted button down, and for summertime, daisy Dukes, dresses and skirt. Duh.” HOLLYWOOD: “Doesn’t matter as long as they are confident; my favorite is classy not trashy (don’t dress like a slut).” MR. RANDI: “I like it when you dress all western-y.” TIGER’S CLASS CLOWN: “Anything that covers the ankles (not too revealing).” MYSTERIOUS ARCHITECT: “I like the nice high boots with some fitted jeans. ………Really I guess it’s just some nice fitted jeans ;).” TORONTO BLUE JAY: “Jeans and Vans. Big fan haha.” HANDSOME NEIGHBOR: “Need options.” DIAPERS: “I don’t know.” TAN MAN: “Yoga clothes.” (Diapers and Tan Man are quite loquacious, just wait they get even more exciting…. LOL word of the day toilet paper)

#3: Hair up or down? Long, medium, or short? Like or dislike the messy bun? THE COMEDIAN: “No real preference on hair length. Just have some. Unless there’s some kind of medical condition, in which case, I’m a jerk and you look great! I don’t mind the messy bun. Just know that I’m going to stick pencil and forks in there when you’re not looking.” ALLSTAR JOCK: “Hair really depends on how cute the face is and how well it goes with the body, the number one turn off is the ‘didn’t shower and I can tell look.’ Prolly a lil much when a guy can notice, so just take ya a shower (not at you Sam) just girls. Buns can be sexy just like long and short, but clean hair is the number 1 :).” LOL thanks Jock boy, glad you aren’t saying I need a shower. ARMY STRONG: “I’ve never been a fan of short hair and I think most guys can agree.” HOLLYWOOD: “Like long hair, not a fan of the messy bun.” MR. RANDI: (points to wife’s hair) “Is that a messy bun? I love that.” TIGER’S CLASS CLOWN: “Down and long, unless it’s the girl from The Fault in Our Stars (my mom wanted to watch it).” OKLAHOMA BOY: “Hair down and medium to long! Also cute when a girl wears a hat!” MYSTERIOUS ARCHITECT: “Longer the hair, the better. I don’t like it pulled up or just in a bun or whatever. Shows, or at least appears to look like, they took time to worry about how their hair looks… and it just looks way sexier down ;).” TORONTO BLUE JAY: “Messy bun.” DIAPERS: “Long hair. Down. Yes to liking the messy bun.” HANDSOME NEIGHBOR: “Down…long…bun. gross.” TAN MAN: “Down. Long.” (Some of them struggle to understand the questions haha)

#4: Over-sized sweater, yes or no? ALLSTAR JOCK: “Oversized sweater, unless it’s got holes in it I’m out.” ARMY STRONG: “I like them, but I feel like its going back to the 90’s.” HOLLYWOOD: “I think of a comfy lounge outfit to wear by the fire or sit around and watch movies, not my favorite look.” TIGER’S CLASS CLOWN: “Yes, so I don’t have to offer my jacket. I get cold too.” OKLAHOMA BOY: “Depends on the situation, but never the shacked girl look!” MYSTERIOUS ARCHITECT: “Depends on the body type. I’m not touching this one, but you should know if you can wear this or not LOL.” HANDSOME NEIGHBOR: “Dislike over-sized sweater if it’s with pants, but no pants…I like it ;).” And for the opinions of the men of few words… TORONTO BLUE JAY: “Yes to over-sized sweaters.” MR. RANDI: Unenthusiastic “yeah.” DIAPERS: “No.” TAN MAN: “No.” THE COMEDIAN: “Over-sized sweater: Yes. The bigger the better. Let me in there with you. I’m cold.”

#5: Wedges? THE COMEDIAN: “Wedgies are hilarious. (I don’t know what a wedge is. Shoe? I like shoes).” ALLSTAR JOCK: “Wedges, eh, I don’t think guys really give a hoot, they look good with skinny jeans though.” ARMY STRONG: “Wedges are sexy and I think add a lot of style to the outfit but don’t overdue it. You’ll end up looking like you have deer hoofs.” HOLLYWOOD: “People with long legs can pull it off, not girls with short legs.” MR. RANDI: “I don’t hate ‘em but I don’t love ‘em but I don’t hate ‘em.” TIGER’S CLASS CLOWN: “No, so she’s not complaining about her feet hurting.” OKLAHOMA BOY: “Wedges? I like tall girls. So if the girl is short, wedges help for sure.” MYSTERIOUS ARCHITECT: “Wedges… I hate the name, so I automatically don’t care for them, neither does any other guy I’m sure. We know shoes, boots, and sandals. We know not of these ‘wedges’.” TORONTO BLUE JAY: “I don’t know wedges.” And for the peanut gallery… DIAPERS: “No.” TAN MAN: “No.” (Note: men don’t know recognize wedges)

#6: Beanies? ALLSTAR JOCK: “I hate, hate beanies on girls, maybe it’s just the hipster beanie on the back of the head deal, I think it looks lazy and like shit (dunno if I can say that). I prefer a headband on a girl if it’s cold. Hand bands are sexy anyways.” LOL Jock boy obviously doesn’t read the blog, otherwise he’d know I have a potty mouth on this thing too. TIGER’S CLASS CLOWN: “Only if she’s Avril Lavigne.” OKLAHOMA BOY: “I’m not into the hipster look, but it can be cute.” MYSTERIOUS ARCHITECT: “I feel the same about these as I do when dudes wear ‘em… If it’s cold, rock it. If it’s 80 degrees and you think you’re being stylish…be ashamed.” The loquacious grew for this topic… HOLLYWOOD: “Nahh.” MR. RANDI: “Um no.” TORONTO BLUE JAY: “Beanies, yes.” DIAPERS: “Yes.” HANDSOME NEIGHBOR: “Beanies YASSSS!” TAN MAN: “No.”

#7: Printed leggings/jeans? THE COMEDIAN: “I like solid colors when it comes to pants…Never understood why people like leopard prints so much. Leopards are mean.” ALLSTAR JOCK: “Just looked at those floral print jeans, and laughed out loud. Leggings are fine, but if it’s to dress up, I wouldn’t want you wearing some hipster floral print on a date. No one really gets tired of a good pair of normal jeans, why can’t ya just wear them?” ARMY STRONG: “Haha! Printed pants all need to be put into a fire. Maybe it’s just because I’m a guy but they aren’t attractive. High wasted pants make girls butts look long LOL but the shorts look nice!;)” HOLLYWOOD: “I like them, just not the crazy crazy prints.” MR. RANDI: “The ones with flowers are okay.” TIGER’S CLASS CLOWN: “Leggings are pretty much always a yes.” OKLAHOMA BOY: “Printed leggings/jeans? Jeans!” HANDSOME NEIGHBOR: “Leggings are hot.” MYSTERIOUS ARCHITECT: “Same as the previous, you got the body, sport the tight fit jeans leggings whatever (no one cares about the print, as long as it’s not LMFAO stuff).” Here we go again… TORONTO BLUE JAY: “Printed leggings, yes.” DIAPERS: “Yes.” TAN MAN: “No.” (Again with some of those not understanding the question…)

#8: High-waisted jeans or shorts? ALLSTAR JOCK: “The high-waisted crap is growing on me. The shorts have really grown on me, jeans, eh, haven’t seen a pair I have been attracted to. So batting .500 here, shorts – good, jeans -crappy.” HOLLYWOOD: “Not really a fan.” MR. RANDI: “Kinda creepy looking. No.” TIGER’S CLASS CLOWN: “Mom jeans are the worst.” OKLAHOMA BOY: “High waisted jeans or shorts? Shorts.” MYSTERIOUS ARCHITECT: “No. They are damn near overalls.” DIAPERS: “Yes.” HANDSOME NEIGHBOR: “High, wasted, gross.” TAN MAN: “Fuck no.” THE COMEDIAN: “High-waisted jeans: Fuck yeah. Acid wash those while you’re at it. Let’s look like we’re going to an 80’s party but then not go because those are lame.”

#9: Half shaved head? ALLSTAR JOCK: “Shaved head? 0% attraction, had a buddy of mine tell me he doesn’t mind it, I don’t think, check that, I know, I wouldn’t take a gal on a date with that. Plus, I think my mom would freak out, or just ask me WTF.” ARMY STRONG: “LOL if you shave half of your head you might as well shave it all. Looks the same to me! Ugly.” HOLLYWOOD: “It’s cool for a minute, but, after a minute, I wish their hair would grow back.” MR. RANDI: “No. How is a bald spot attractive? What happened to women being elegant?” TIGER’S CLASS CLOWN: “It looks like her hairdresser used clippers and just accidentally ruined her head.” OKLAHOMA BOY: “Nope! Long natural looking hair.” MYSTERIOUS ARCHITECT: “No. One girl in history pulled that off, and it’s because she has enough money to give 0 fucks. Keep your hair.” TORONTO BLUE JAY: “Hell no.” DIAPERS: “Depends on the person.” HANDSOME NEIGHBOR: “If you like black guys.” TAN MAN: “Fuck no.” THE COMEDIAN: “Half-shaved head: Nah. That’s called a bad haircut. Unless it’s some kind of medical condition, in which case, I’m a jerk and you look great! LMFAO BHAHAHAHAHA I’m dying, rolling around, tears streaming down my eyes. Thanks boys for that one.

#10: Rompers and jumpsuits? THE COMEDIAN: “Just Googled what rompers are. Not what I was expecting, but still a fan. Consolidating shorts and shirts into one item should be a more widely used type of clothing. Do they make rompers for men?” ALLSTAR JOCK: “I think there’s a time and place for rompers and/or jump suits. I like them because it shows off (the good ones) the girl’s boobs and butt. I think girls with curves can rock them pretty nicely! A little bit cheeky never hurt anyone…” ARMY STRONG: “Jumpsuits, haha wow. Looks like pajamas made fashionable.” HOLLYWOOD: “Rompers, not jumpsuits.” MR. RANDI: “Yeah, I like that.” TIGER’S CLASS CLOWN: “Rompers are fine, but the jumpsuit makes that woman look like she’s confused about what planet she lives on.” OKLAHOMA BOY: “Rompers and jumpsuits? Depends on body type, but I like both! Summer rompers, winter jumpsuits.” MYSTERIOUS ARCHITECT: “Nope, unless you’re an inmate or picking up trash on the side of the road….these look like mechanics outfits.” TORONTO BLUE JAY: “Yes and yes.” DIAPERS: “I like most, but not all.” HANDSOME NEIGHBOR: “No. Ugly as fuck.” TAN MAN: “No.”

#11: Favorite fashion trend women are sporting now? ALLSTAR JOCK: “Favorite, besides yoga pants maybe even worn at some inappropriate times, besides that? The overuse of yoga pants.” HOLLYWOOD: “Favorite trend is thigh highs.” MR. RANDI: “As long as a women puts effort into what she wears and how she looks…that always looks good.” TIGER’S CLASS CLOWN: “Those puffy vests make them look like they’re in a P. Diddy video. I like those.” OKLAHOMA BOY: “Leggings in all types of weather! I also like girls dressed up in classy business clothes aka either a suit or sports coat and revealing enough to make you wonder but not too revealing in public that you look sleezy or slutty! I also like a girl that can rock gym shorts/t-shit/ hat and no make up!” TORONTO BLUE JAY: “I love the yoga pants and leggings look with a big shirt.” DIAPERS: “I don’t know.” TAN MAN: “Anything Lulu.” (he means the yoga pants store) THE COMEDIAN: “Popular trend: Leggings. Unpopular trend: Bring back the fanny pack! It’s a purse on your hip! Why did we start making fun of those? Stop carrying around all your junk when you can wear it. I saw a girl wearing one a couple nights ago at a bar and my only thought was “She can get as drunk as she wants and not lose a thing.” Bring back the pack!”

#12: Least favorite fashion trend that girls are rocking right now? THE COMEDIAN: “Least favorite fashion trend women are sporting right now: Probably the half-shaved head. I want to go out with a woman.” ARMY STRONG: “Sorry to say it, and I don’t mean to offend anyone, but girls that wear Jordan shoes is a no go in my book. Nothing sexy about that.” HOLLYWOOD: “Turtlenecks.” (LMAO so random) MR. RANDI: “Weird piercings and tattoos.” TIGER’S CLASS CLOWN: “Huge t-shirts and Nike shorts, But, outside of college, I hate nose rings and girls in baseball caps.” OKLAHOMA BOY: “The homeless look or the 60-70’s grandma looking attire.” MYSTERIOUS ARCHITECT: “The dumb floppy hats. You aren’t Carmen San Diego, and there might be .5% of girls that can pull it off. Hopefully this dies soon, like the fedora kick.” TORONTO BLUE JAY: “Not a fan of half shaved heads at all.” DIAPERS: “Leggings and oversized sweaters.” TAN MAN: “high waisted jeans. Sorority shorts.” (Holy shit! Thing 1 and 2 speak LOL) ALLSTAR JOCK: “Least favorite fashion trend, if a girl with a half shaved head, wearing a beanie on the back of it, with an over-sized sweater, and long high-waisted jeans asked for my opinion on her look, I would probably have to tell her she looks kinda shitty.”

Now that all of us with hoohoos are completely confused on what to wear on our next date, since men can’t come up with a common consensus, I say “Duck Them!” (damn autocorrect again) LOL Rock what you feel beautiful and sexy in, because, if you are confident, 99% of the time a man will get over if he can’t stand your half shaved head;) and when in doubt 9/10 men apparently love yoga pants and leggings. Oh, and don’t shave a part of your head.

Due to my efforts to just write a short story and not a novel, I used my discretion in clipping some responses and not using everyone’s answers. And since I’m sweet, I tweaked a few grammatical errors, but not that sweet, so I left a few too because I wasn’t an English major.
