Disney Prom 2014

"Do not be fooled by its common place appearance. Like so many things, it is not what is outside, but what is inside that counts" -From the movie Aladdin

Here K and I are sitting at our Princess and the Frog themed table.

K, Samantha, Felicity, and I went to Prom on Saturday night; and let me just say that everyone looked absolutely beautiful. The theme was Disney and I really wanted to incorporate a little bit of the magical Disney vibe into my outfit without completely dressing up as one of my favorite princesses. I decided to go with a lighter look so I bought a dress that was mostly white. The top is a red/maroon velvet with rhinestone jewels going down. Normally I don't wear long earrings but Prom is one of those occasions where you either go big or go home. I also wore a pair of black and white shoes to wear with this dress because they made me feel classy.

If you haven't seen K's blog post Prom 2014: Pretty In Pink then be sure to check it out to hear all about her Prom outfit!

Unfortunately, there was really bad wind and our hair kind of suffered but we managed to rock the messy hair (I hope). Overall, the evening was fun and although we couldn't quite hear each other over the loud music, we managed to fit in a few laughs. 

After dancing for most of the night K, Samantha, and I headed to the bathroom for a quick touch up on our hair and makeup.

After prom was the best part of the entire night however. K, Samantha, myself, and our friend Stef, her boyfriend, and Stef's mom all went to McDonald's to get some chicken nuggets (yum) and it made it all worthwhile. 

Here is our attempt to look cute and in sync with one another XOXO (From left to right: Bre, K, Felicity)

We'd love to hear all about what you wore (or are planning to wear) to prom. Also, don't be afraid to ask for advice from any of us. We'll be happy to help make your special night less stressful.

Until we meet again,

Your faithful friend

Prom 2014: Pretty In Peach

Last night was Prom Night. The night we've been waiting for forever! and here's what I wore:

I wear long dresses a lot. Like at least once every-other month. So instead I wanted to wear a suit. I was first inspired to wear a suit to a school dance by Blaise Harmon who is a character  in L. Jane Smith's "Spellbinder" in her Night World series. Plus, I just think they look so classy.

This beautiful peach suit is from Victoria's Secret (Jacket, $98, Pants $59.50). Kind of pricey, but so worth it. I love it, and I can wear it for all kinds of occasions. Under the jacket I'm wearing a sheer black Lily White top from Dillard's, and a black lace Guess bustier, $90, also from Dillard's. The shoes I bought 

at a store called Waltz (brand is Speed Limit 98, style is FLOWER-S), and they were only twenty bucks!

I finished it off with a bright orange lippie, a bold black wing, and some pearl earrings my mother bought in China.

Prom was a blast, but I think I had the most fun eating chicken nuggets at McDonald's afterwards, with Bre, Sam, Stef, and Stef's boyfriend and mother (Thanks Gigi!!). Which just goes to show: it's not how much you spend, or how fab you look that makes a night, but the company you are in. And I was in some great company. And even though tickets were utterly overpriced for what it was, and I spent way too much money for three hours of jumping on an overcrowded dance floor, I wouldn't have missed Senior prom for anything (except maybe a Gaga concert, or Miley, or Lana...).

What did you wear to your prom?
And what do you think of female suits?

Until I catch up on sleep - Kae, xoxo

Mall Crawl OOTD

Today Samantha took me, Bre, and our friend Stefany shopping with her to find a dress for prom. And of course any occasion is an opportunity to wear clothing, so here's what I wore:
A Wal-Mart brand knock-off of American Outfitter's turtleneck crop top (although mine is a mock turtleneck). Candie's shorts from last year (I affectionately call them my "unicorn shorts", IDKY). And my trusty Rascals. The pearl earrings were my grandmother's and I love them.

Lately I've been ditching the eyeliner for a lighter look, and at the Dior counter the nicest lady offered to do my makeup, which you can see here. I now have to invest on a can of Diorskin Airflash foundation, because it made my skin look nearly perf, although at $62 a pop, it's not very affordable for a minimum wager like me! Love it, although I think she got a bit in my hairline, as I appear to be going grey in these pics.

So do you think $62 is ridic. for makeup? Or is it worth the price?
And what do you like to wear while shopping? Comment below!

In the meantime, remember to smile, and that it's okay to play dress-up every once in a while! - Kae, xoxo

P.S. We did find Samantha the perfect dress! Expect prom posts in a week!

Scenic View

"A weed is no more than a flower in disguise" 

-James Russell Howell

Hello dearies! Last weekend K, Samantha, and I took a (not so long) trip to our lovely mountains for a photo shoot. It was a hoot and a half even though the wind was blowing and there were a lot of cars driving in the background. If you haven't ever seen a mountain (let alone been on one) I would recommend to go with a few friends because the view is truly awe-inspiring. 

On our excursion I decided to wear a simple white skirt to compliment my floral popcorn shirt as well as a pair of lace flats. The shirt is actually one-size fits all so I pulled some fabric from each side to the front in order to tie it so it was a little bit more form fitting. 

Here Samantha and I are reflecting on life

The great thing about this shirt was that the fabric was pliable enough to wear either on the shoulder or off the shoulder. Personally, I love wearing anything off the shoulder because not only does it fill me with a sense of sophistication, but it shows off the natural beauty of one's own body without exposing too much.

I wore a strawberry locket to compliment the pinks and reds of the shirt. However, earlier that day I was given a very special necklace from Samantha and K (made by K) and I just couldn't resist putting it on. Even though it didn't quite match my outfit I thought it looked adorable. Having a unique and personal touch is the key to any successful outfit so be sure to wear the things that you love or things that have a special place in your heart regardless of whether it clashes with your outfit because if it makes you happy, how bad can it possibly be?

You might have seen a photo like this on K's blog post (Last Sunday Drive) but if you haven't be sure to check it out if you want to hear all about K's outfit!

Please feel free to comment about my outfit, jewelry, the scenery, the universe, pi, or anything you like. As always, you're welcome to return at anytime and play dress-up with us.

Until we meet again,

Your faithful friend

Last Sunday Drive

Me and Bre

Last Sunday Bre, Samantha, and I went to church. After church we went out for lunch with our group of peoples, and after that we decided to just drive somewhere nice to take photos. We drove up to the North Franklin Peak (okay, not all the way to the top) in the Franklin Mountain State Park. There's a great overlook of the city, we thought would look cool in pictures. As it turns out, it might have looked cool if it had been dark, but it was midday and the view didn't translate as well through the camera. Instead we found the actual rock of the mountain along with the asphalt made a cool background.

Remembering my glasses.

Awkward tourist pic (P.S. I'm not a tourist). The view was much better IRL.

I'm wearing a hand-me-downed silk shift dress by the discontinued brand Talbots Kids, from my cousin. The shape is so sixties; I love it. I really dig the pale yellow colour and the embroidered flowers are so pretty! The dress' high boat neck doesn't lend well to my usual plastic tattoo choker, so that was one of the rare times I went without it. Instead, I'm wearing my "diamond" necklace from the previous post. For some reason I really wanted to wear my Iron Fist Unicornicopia Platform's to church, as opposed to white or nude pumps, which would have made for a more classic look.

So do like to keep a classic look looking classic, or do you prefer to shake things up? Comment below!
And be sure to check out Bre's outfit here!

Until next time, keep on playing dress-up! - Kae xoxo
