Buzzcut: It's Not Just for Boys Anymore

       Blog I've missed you so much! My house is really cold right now and I swear I'm freezing to death....it's really hard to type because my fingers are so cold. But I shall power through it! 

       Anyway...after that strange introduction I think it's best to get down to my actually topic of the blog post. For the last couple of years I've been wanting to get a buzzcut. I've read countless threads and blogs about other girls that did it and I just wanted to feel that same happiness that all of those other girls did. My grandmother; however, was very adamant that she didn't want me to do it because "I'd look like a boy." Finally, after begging and begging and begging for her to let me cut it, she finally gave in and let me. And I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. 

       I know a lot of people that also did it said that they felt like a whole new person, but I don't really feel like a new person, I just feel more like me. I feel more confident now. Granted, my head gets cold really easily now....but that's okay, seeing as I stole my boyfriend's beanie. 

       A condition that my grandmother gave me for this haircut was that if somebody says something bad/mean about it I'm not allowed to come crying to her. You know what? If somebody wants to say something bad about me because of my frigging haircut, good for them. My hair will grow back, but the ugliness that's inside them--that will never go away.

      So anybody that's reading this blog post, anybody that ever gets teased or made fun of or just doesn't feel beautiful, listen to me. 

      You are beautiful. You're beautiful whether you're a size zero or a size 13; you're beautiful whether you have hair down your back or none at all; you're beautiful whether you're a world renowned fashion model or a small town college student. 

     Don't ever let anybody tell you anything different. 

     Until next them, beautiful readers of mine.

Fishnets and Jeans and Boots, Oh My!

Good morning and happy almost Christmas my lovely blog readers! I have missed you so much, but with finals and swim meets and whatnot I've just been too busy to post anything. 

A girl on my swim team asked me this a few weeks ago: "Should I start dressing more like a girl? Cause I always wear basketball shorts and t-shirts. It bothered me because if she's comfortable in her clothes, why should she change it? (But I have a feeling she asked me that because I've started wearing more an more skirts and dresses to school.) 

Anyway, I am totally in love with the fishnet+ripped jeans look. 

Yup. In love with it. It makes me feel more comfortable and less exposed. And also my fishnet, skirt and ankle boot combo. 

Anyway, I really hope I post some more stuff soon, as I've missed blogging and I'm finally on a break from school. 

Have a wonderful day my lovely readers.

Engaged 😊❤️💍

Yesterday was my birthday, and Justin proposed :) 

And here's my birthday outfit: 

I know you can't really see the whole thing, but I wore a black and red tunic with a black infinity scarf. I decided on grey leggings and grey high-tops to go with it. 

Sorry for the short post, more to come. 

Love, Felicity

New Closet Time

      Hello my friends, I have missed you. A few weeks ago I had a doctor visit and the woman wasn't exactly nice about telling me that I've gained just a little too much weight..........Okay, maybe 30 pounds isn't exactly little....but anyway, that obviously made me rethink my food and exercise choices.

      Along with that, I had went through my closet and realized that 90% of my clothes were either too small or not my style. So, it was shopping time. I love showing my style in sweaters and shoes, rather than my actual shirts and pants. So I just went ahead and bought four pairs of black skinny jeans, three black tank tops, one pair of gray high tops, a pair of black small healed boots, a black sweater, and a gray sweater.

      The jeans that I bought each had two to three buttons, because I realized that high waisted jeans help to:

A: elongate my legs (which I needed to seem thinner)

B: make my stomach seem smaller

      So, today, I wore this.

High waisted jeans from Rue21, tank from Wal-Mart, Royal Bones Corset Jacket from Hot Topic, and Rock and Candy Swirls boots.

I've had that Jacket for three years, but this was the first time I had worn it in months. The tank top's an old one, but the jeans and boots are brand new.

 

Anyway, sorry I haven't posted as of late. Promise to make up for it!

 

Stay beautiful my lovelies!

Fashionably Late? Or just late?

Nananananananananananananananana Batman! I'm Batman. Not really, I'm just really late for a prom post. 

So while I was shopping for my dress, sadly, I couldn't find the perfect one. Which totally sucks. But, I found a beautiful red dress that would work just fine. It was too long and the straps were loose, so I had my aunt hem the bottom and shorten the straps. She also made my corsage and Justin's boutonniere. And while they were both beautiful, the white flowers and black lace didn't exactly match the red dress.

And on another note, I had a fabulous time at prom. We went to this amazing Italian restaurant called Bella Napoli. In the middle of dinner, my phone went off, it was my friend Taylor and she said, "I see you." I looked up and BAM! She was across the room. It was quite interesting.

So my lovely people, I am sorry that this is so short, but prom was a while ago and there's really nothing else to say.

Stay beautiful my lovelies.

P.S. I was recently in Houston for the TMTA convention, and I had to wear this beautiful red dress. The straps can be tied many different ways, but they weren't long enough to do much with them. *Please ignore my totally weird looking selfie.*

P.P.S. I tried to attend Justin's high school graduation, but the stupid power went out and I didn't get to see him walk. I was so FREAKING PISSED.

Military Punk (but it's St. Patrick's Day...)

Hello, my lovelies. Happy St. Patrick's Day! 

And happy birthday to my dear friends Bianca and Monique, and a happy two month anniversary to my boyfriend and I.

I am sad to say that at the moment, my camera is unavailable for use, and my grandparents aren't technologically inclined, so they can't quite photograph my with my phone (or theirs.) 

So, this post is going to be short- but not so sweet- like me. 

The title 'Military Punk (but it's St. Patrick's Day...) is because my friend Marissa looked at my outfit and said that I looked like a "Totally bad-a** military punk. I thought that was a cool compliment, and I also recently got my hair cut- that I can provide the photo that I showed the hair stylist. 

I promise that I will post my St. Patrick's outfit as soon as possible my lovelies. 

In the meantime, stay beautiful.

Yours forever, 

Felicity

Prom Dresses

Now, for those of you that didn't know, I'm currently in a relationship with a senior. Which of course has some drawbacks, like the fact that he's leaving, and that I won't see him for weeks at a time, etc. But then, there's prom. Senior prom, something that most freshman wouldn't get to go to. So, in this post, I'm going to give some prom advice for my fellow rockers and rebels.
I'm one of those girls that hate wearing girly things, I love to stand out. We all know that there is going to be at least one girl like this at prom:

Stereotypical prom queen, right? Perfect dress, bag, makeup, hair, shoes, blah blah blah. I personally would die if I went to prom like that. Then, you get the girls that secretly love the idea of prom but don't want anybody to know it:

So, they would probably dress like this. The blouse and slacks give hints that they care, but the fedora and Converse show something else. But who are you? A rebel, a lover, a fighter? I'm a rebel. My dream prom outfit is something with black and red. It shows my dark side and my caring, loving side. Something like....this:

God, I love it. Lets start with the dress. It's dressy enough to show that I'm excited to actually be at prom, but sassy and stylish enough to show that I do not want to be prom queen. The red bangles, bow, and earrings are lighter than the dress, giving a bright contrast to the crimson. The moon necklace, studded bracelet, bag, and black bow give a rebel vibe to my already controversial ensemble. The shoes, are fancy enough to count as prom attire, but so chic that people won't be able to help but stare.  

I'm telling you, it doesn't matter what you wear to your prom (or homecoming, or any dance for that matter). What matters is that you dress in something that you love, not what somebody else is telling you to wear. Because why should your fashion sense be controlled by someone else's opinion? Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and when you see yourself as beautiful, nothing else matters.

Band Tees?

*For the sake of simplicity, I'm just going to use Sleeping With Siren's merchandise in this post.*

Now, I've noticed that there's always that one thing that never goes out of style: band t-shirts. You can wear them anytime and anywhere, but how you style them is the most important. You can wear one with a skirt and leggings and some flats for a more feminine look; you can wear one over long sleeves with a beanie and sweats for a girls night in; you can wear one with skinny jeans and converse for a movie date. The possibilities are virtually endless, you just got to know what to put with them. 

Let's start with this shirt, a simple Sleeping With Sirens tee. Now, most people wouldn't find many different ways to wear this, because it seems so- bland. But pair it with some jeans, a jacket, and some bracelets, you get the perfect school outfit! 

Now, I dare you to tell me that's not the sassiest band tee ensemble you've ever seen. You can't, right? 

On another note, you could do so much more with this! Pair it with a skirt and leggings, you get a cute party dress, am I right? Or am I right?

See, not bad? Then you get those days when you couldn't care any less about how you look, cause all that's going to happen is a couple of girlfriends are gonna come over to hang out. Don't you dare think that you have to forget about you beloved band tee just because you don't care what you look like. But for the record, a Sleeping With Sirens sweatshirt might be more comfortable.

Simple, warm, comfortable. What more could you ask for?

In the end, you have to find your own style. What do you love? What do you live for? Who do you live for? Incorporate that into your look, and you'll never go wrong.

Who is Felicity?

Hmm...what to say? I have to admit, when people tell me that they like my style I get kind of confused. I mean, I tend to just grab whatever out of my closet, so my ensembles aren't really thought out. When I get to thinking about what I want to wear though, it takes me absolutely forever to decide. I love to wear black dresses, I feel like it suits my personality (which is pretty much the weirdest and most social introvert you could ever meet in your life.) I also wear long sleeves. All the time. I don't care how hot it is outside, I will wear long sleeves. Whether it be in a sweater or a jacket, I don't feel comfortable unless I'm wearing long sleeves.

This is something that I would wear and a normal day at school. I'd probably end up having to take off my beanie to avoid being dress coded, but that's my average outfit. I generally wear the ring to add a bit of a feminine look to it, because I've been mistaken for a boy more times than I can count. The bracelet and the necklace are more for decoration, I could care less if someone actually paid attention to them.  

This is something that I would wear on a day that I actually bother to think through my look. I overlay the dress with the cream cardigan, the necklace and the bangles because it adds the femininity look that I was going for, and makes it look less like I'm going to a funeral. 

But then you get those people in your life who ALWAYS seem to find a way to diss your fashion sense. Like, in the above examples, someone in my daily life would probably ask why I looked like a sailor, (in a nod to the anchor on my shirt), or why I look like somebody died (in a nod to my black dress). Don't let people like that get you down. I dress the way I dress because it makes me feel good about myself, and that's all fashion should do. It should make you feel beautiful and individualized. Honestly, I would go to school everyday in a Breakfast Club tee and skinny jeans if I could, because that's what I love. So dress how you want to dress and don't pay attention to the haters, because they are always going to be around.
