Last Minute Halloween Costume with Forever 21

This year I have been so busy with school and everything that I haven't even been able to have time to really think about a costume or going to get a costume. But, last minute Halloween plans require a last minute costume! There is nothing that I hate more then buying a cheaply made Halloween costume at a store for 30 to 50 dollars (even the skimpy ones!), that I will  only wear once. So I made a shopping trip to Forever 21 to see what I could find! Apparently feathers and the whole Tribal theme is in so I went with a costume  that would be along the lines of Pocahontas/Native American-ish. I ended up spending around 30 dollars for accessories and a shirt that I will be able to get more use out of. 

Here is what I got...

Leather Studded Bracelet

$ 7.80

Tribal Type Necklace

$ 6.80

Cropped Feather Shirt

$17.80

The rest of my costume consists of pieces that I already own..

A basic black/gray skirt

Vintage Mocosssins

 (They were my moms back in the day haha)

Feather Earrings from Claires 

some random bracelets..

And here is the costume! 

Happy Halloween Everyone!!! =)

Fall Fashion Trend: (Faux) Fur Vests + OOTD

Going around all the stores at the mall, I have been seeing a lot of one thing... Faux Fur. Whether it is vests, scarfs, or jackets fur is def. in. I must say that I am liking it. A fur vest is a way to add interest and texture to a boring outfit while keeping you warm. It is also a good way to channel a cool 70's vibe to your wardrobe. You can  find very inexpensive fur vests so you are not breaking the bank! Here are a few vests that I found on Forever 21's and H&M's websites. 

And I could not help myself but purchase a fur vest while I was at the mall haha. I picked mine up from Forever 21 for $22.80. I could not find this exact one on the website but I am sure it will be on there as a new arrival. 

And here is the OOTD...

Head band: Forever 21

Vest: Forever 21

Jeans: Vintage Flare from Pacsun

Shoes: Wedge clogs from DSW

For my makeup, I went with a neutral copper smokey eye using my Naked Palette and some Red Cherry lashes (which I will be doing a review on soon!). 

A Classy Date Look From Head to Toe

The Look

Breakin it down..

The Hair

I kept my hair pretty simple by just flat ironing it.

  Tease the crown of the head using a teasing comb.

Take two sections, one from each side of the head, twist them and bobby pin them back. 

This takes more of the focus off of the hair and more on the face. :)

 Finish with a flexible hold hair spray. 

The Makeup

For the eyes

Use a satin shimmery gold color all over the lid

Place a bronze shimmer color on the outer part of the eye lid blending it into the outer V area

Use a neural matte brown eye shadow in the crease 

Use a matte eye shadow a few shades lighter than your skin tone under the brow 

Take the same bronze shimmer color and smudge it on the outer region of the lower lash line

Then take the same shimmery gold color and smudge it on the inner lower lash line towards the tear duct

Apply Mascara and curl your lashes

Apply any tapered false eye lashes 

For the cheeks

Apply a bronze blush on the lower apples of the cheeks, blending towards the hairline 

For the lips

Apply any berry colored lipstick 

A berry colored lipstick is very classy without looking overdone. It is much easier to pull of than a red lip.

Key Colors

The Clothes

For this look, my key piece is the neutral blazer. 

I went with a lighter color blazer in order to not look too dark with my darker lip color.

 A simple cream colored shirt is worn under the blazer. 

To give off more of a casual yet dressy vibe I wore a dark wash pair of jeggings 

The Accessories

A leopard scarf is worn to add interest to the outfit 

(Leopard accessories are a great fall fashion trend!)

I wore simple gold jewelry pieces to add a touch of glamour. 

The spike bracelet gives a bit of edginess to the outfit. 

For my nails I went for a rich darker pink color to add a fun fall color to the outfit. 

(It looks red in the picture but I swear its not! haha)

I wore a darker bag in contrast to the lightness of the blazer and shoes. 

It has a snake skin pattern which adds a new texture to the outfit. 

And for the shoes.. I wore a pair of platform nude/beige colored pumps. 

I wore this look for my boyfriend and I's 3 year anniversary. :)

 I felt that it was very appropriate for the fall weather. It is very comfortable yet dressy and very classy.
