Preppy Outfits and Pre-Bangs
11:45 AMSo I realized that since I cut my bangs, I have a lot of back-logged photos that I need to catch up on posting. LOL. I'll try to get the majority of them up soon so that I don't look crazy going back and forth with bangs and no bangs. Most likely, it will hop back and forth anyway so please disregard any random hair changes.
I am really one of those Dolly Surprise dolls from the late 80's/early 90's where you pump the arm and their hair magically grows.
So anyway, I have two outfits for you guys today that lean a little preppy. Maybe not traditionally preppy, but my own version of preppy. ;)
Here's what I used for the first look:
* Stila Pearl Palette (purple and golden-white)
* Urban Decay 24/7 Liner in Electric
* Lancome Photogenic Concealer in Camee
* Maybelline lippy in Pink Please
Also, using Wonder Eyelid Tape here. Purple shadow is patted on top of Electric blue eyeliner.
Preppy outfit #1:
Collared shirt - Hollister, Grey boyfriend cardigan - F21, Purple tank dress - Marshall's, Grey leggings - F21, Belt - vintage, Bag - Coach, Shoes - BCBGirls 
My second look I unfortunately didn't take a photo of what I used so I can't remember, but I thought I'd post anyway. :P I believe it was a "natural" take on this post on DSK jewelry.
Close-up. I really love lining the lower lash line with purple.
Who doesn't love bathroom pics? XD
Not sure if you can see here, but instead of a traditional pomp, I twisted my hair and pinned it to the side.
Preppy outfit #2:
Denim blazer - Abercrombie kids, Sweater dress - Bitten, Leggings - Target, Booties - Me Too
Now, I gotta say Coach isn't my favorite brand but it is really nice for classic looks like this. And leggings are a must for wearing dresses in colder weather. Petites can't really afford to wear dresses that fall below their knees at any season and I prefer mine short for a longer leg line.
Both of these looks work well because there is a nice structure going on in the upper-half of the body. Key points are the belt in the first look and the jacket in the second. They both are a couple of my favorite ways to easily pull a look together.

Gemma: Aw, thank you! And I KNOW about BCBGirls... They are really comfy! I can wear these all day and night. :D
ReplyDeleteBabybubblz: Thanks! I usually just line the actual lash line instead of the waterline, since my eyes are a bit sensitive. Looks like I did a bit of a messy job here and it got on my waterline too but it wasn't intentional! I find that for the most part with more natural looks, lining the lash line opens your eyes up more than the waterline. :)
Dana: Aww, hehe. Dolly surprise is so creepy, isn't it? That's Kirsten Dunst in the commercial I linked too!

ReplyDeletehi jen! you said you use the graftobian warm palette...can you tell me what color you use cause im also nc30 and i'm not what color i would be if i would be a vixen, enchantress, or temptress...i would greatly appreciate you helping me :) since they don't take returns off of camera ready cosmetics. :)

ReplyDeleteAnonymous: I'm really sorry but the palette isn't named by color... I usually just mix foundations to match whoever I'm working on. So sorry I can't help. >.<
Stephanie: Good luck! Haha... Don't give up if it doesn't work the first time, it has a learning curve. ;)
BlovetBeauty: Lol, thank you. Sadly, this was before I cut my bangs but thank you still. ^^
Catherine: OOh, cute! Can't wait to see!
DSK Steph: I have a feeling I use them more than you do though. LOL!
love all your outfit looks, you look super adorable!!! I am jealous you get to shop at AF kids or any kid sized clothing, they usually have the most adorable pieces and very reasonable prices too! I can never find anything from the kids section that fits, except form maybe the boy's section, which won't work LOLLLLL
