roommate adventures. extremely cute attire required
Jade and I had an amazing Sunday together and got some much needed roommate time. But before I recount those events I need to tell you about our outfit composition for the day. Most of the time when me and Jade spend quality time together it's watching TV, cooking, cleaning, or running errands. Don't get me wrong, doing all those things with Jade makes them so much more enjoyable. But going out shopping is serious business, which means extremely cute attire is required.
What did I wear? Well with the weather warming up I knew that I wanted to wear a skirt but I didn't think it was warm enough for bare legs. I decided that I wanted to wear a pair of grayish shimmery stocking with cute little red hearts. I've been meaning to wear these for a while but I keep forgetting I own them!
The skirt I picked is dark blue and made of some sort of spandex material. I originally bought it when I was a server because it is extremely comfortable and has easy washing instructions. At the time I didn't care for the skirt but after a few wears I grew to love it. Since my stockings have tiny little red hearts, I wanted to tie the whole outfit together with a bright red shirt.
And then there's my boots. I will take any chance I can get to wear them because I love the way they look and they're decently comfortable (I'm still breaking them in). I bought these not too long ago from the Doc Martens store in West Edmonton Mall. I was debating between getting the same style that Jade has, which go to halfway up the calf, or these. My main reasoning for getting these is because they have zippers instead of having to lace them up each time I want to put them on.
Lastly is my hair and makeup. I decided to wear a red lipstick by MAC Cosmetics called Russian Red because I love that it's more of a blue-red than an orange-red. I find the slight blue undertone brings out the blue in my eyes. I didn't want to have overpowering eyes with the red lips so I stuck with a pale pink eyeshadow and black pencil liner. I pulled the whole look together with a loose side-ish ponytail topped off with a cute red flower.
Now what did Jade wear? She has such a fun sense of style and her clothes definitely reflect her uniqueness. The focus of her ensemble was her bright blue fluffy tutu which she wore over top of a pair of black leggings.
She matched this with one of her favorite t-shirts from a friend's shop in England. She had to order it to her parents house in Stalybridge and they shipped it overseas to her. It's My Little Pony in a top hat!
For her makeup, Jade had on a darker shadow and black liquid liner. I'm always jealous with how nicely her eye makeup turns out. No matter how hard I try I can never get the multilayer look she does so well.
Since her hair is dyed different colors, it looks really neat when she braids the front. I find that the different colors contrast really well together. She pinned her hair up on the other side with a cute little butterfly clip that has blue jewels that match the tutu.
To put her whole outfit together she wore (one of my favorite things she owns) a pair of Hello Kitty sunglasses.
When you wear them it looks like you have whiskers and a bow in your hair, making you look like a life-sized Hello Kitty! Now we're all ready for our shopping date!
