IWant: fangirl moment

Ok I am a cult follower of The Walking Dead so when I walked into Hot Topic this morning and saw this shirt (below) I completely freaked out. I refuse to wear a fangirl shirt unless it's flattering. It's a scoop neck tunic like shirt. The evolution of the t-shirt is headed in great places. This is absolutely awesome. I'm buying this. No question in my mind. I support the Ricktatorship. 

Walking Dead shirt

 

OOTD: All I need is my biker bitch jacket.

First of all, let me start by saying these are the shoes from hell.
If you recall watching poor Cinderella's stepsisters fit on the glass slipper in the Disney version of this classic, you'll remember one's foot being too long as the other one's foot was far too wide to fit the opportunistic shoe. I am the former when it comes to these.

Women in general will push it to the limit for beauty, hence the phrase, here meaning literally, "beauty is pain". Being 1/2 a size too small- my regular 6's must bend their will to these 5.5 sized Charlotte Russe pumps. Having said that, they are hot as hell & I literally walk on coals to look amazing in these shoes.

My top is manufactured by a company named Blac Label... they make the most amazing tanks that I have ever come across. They are far more classy than Ed Hardy's as these use heavy duty material, grommets, & the designs are far more tattoo-inspired, as to the fact that they are depicted as body art. Throwing a leather over this shirt tends to scream "I own a Harley Davidson, bitch!"

The pants were acquired from Hot Topic on clearance, the time when I take the store for all it's worth. I've gotten such good deals from that store that I almost feel bad when at the register. Key word- ALMOST.

Last but not least, I'm pretty sure the finishing touch involved the presence of a studded two-tier watch from Target, that they practically gave away at a low 6$ plus tax.

I love this look as it is definetly one of my favorites. Hell, everything I've ever gotten from Blac Label is.

OOTD: Normally, I don't do farmer shirts, but...

I saw this shirt in the clearance in Hot Topic & decided that if I was going to wear a farmer shirt, I might as well buy one with my two favorite colors. 

I also decided to wear it with these heels because I thought it would be a nice change from boots.

OOTD: Military Jacket... Some say Beatles.

I am forever going into Hot Topic to try to score clothing & accessories on extreme clearance as it is one of my favorite apparel stores & has some pretty kickass merchandise. One of their stores in my area, one that I frequented, closed & they emailed all of the Regulars with a 10$ off a purchase of 25$. (This is the part where I glance at the screen with a knowing yet mischevious look while the live studio audience laughs on cue.)

I would not pass up any coupon or sale opportunity in Hot Topic. I swear it's a sickness.


Anyhow, I decided that I would try to get some items to add to my respectable work wardrobe & made a beeline for the clearance section so that I could get the most bang for my buck. Lo & behold, the first thing on the rack was this jacket. Since I have a leather already (I was dying for one) the next item on my list was a military styled jacket. I fit it on for the hell of it & loved the way that it looked with the jeans I was wearing. (Also pictured here) This jacket was a gift from the gods! More of a right place, right time scenario. Everyone at work loved it & the only thing I can say negatively is that once your wardrobe has a piece like this, you can't wear it all the time with the same exact outfit. My favorite thing about this jacket is that the colors are somewhat reversed with the lightest color (which is usually the detail) is the solid khaki of the actual jacket & the darker color is used in the detailing instead. The material is incredibly durable so I know that I will have this jacket for a pretty long time.

OOTD: Its 50 degrees in Orlando so its ok to look cool.

My cousin's birthday was spent in a trampoline room. If you've never been to one, very cool, you should definetly put that on your list of things to do before you die.
I had to wear something comfortable but knew that we were gonna take pictures so I wanted to look cute. I pack by throwing a crapload of stuff into my car & driving the 3 hrs to Orlando so I had quite a few things to pick from and came out with the quintessential Hot Topic outfit. As you know, I kill it when they do their 50% off clearance simply because I'm a G and I can.
Scarf.
Hot Topic. This scarf is 2-sided and I usually wear it on the side with the smaller checks but my cousin insisted that I debut the large checks. This was totally 1.50$. Score.
Top.
Hot Topic. Its got a lace up back. I'll add a photo of the detail later.

OOTD: Another cold day in NY

Hat.

Zumies. Okay so it was the only hat in the store but I loved the shape & the colors went with my peacoat. (It's a purplish blue). I wanted to add to the winter wardrobe which is fairly scarce. 

Top.

Forever XXI. (by way of Plato's Closet) It's like a cowlneck, knit dress with a kangaroo pocket in the front. It looked so warm that I had to take it. I also wanted to change it up so that it wasn't a thermal & jeans weekend)

Scarf.

Hot Topic. Got it during the famous 50% off clearance that they have every couple of months. I also pair this with solid racerback tanks because I'm not able to do the whole constant sweater thing in Miami.

Thermal

Miley to the Max (by way of WalMart, charcoal one shown here)

I ended up wearing one underneath because the 53 degree weather was freezing for me!

Tights.

Forever XXI. I literally have 5 pairs of solid black tights, so one day in F21, while picking up yet ANOTHER pair decided... No! Today is the day that I am going to be adventourous! I will not buy another pair of black tights! So I bought this electric blue pair which pretty much surfaces when I'm tired of wearing black :)

Boots.

Traffic. Because I refuse to pay more than 25$ for a pair of boots since I live in Florida & I would slap myself if I bought something expensive that I only end up wearing 10 days max out of the year.

OOTD:Hot Topic ruffle dress

I got this dress from Hot Topic. I was looking at it online & really wanted it because #1 it was on sale & #2 I've really been getting into dresses and the femme look. So I didn't even fit it on in the store when I saw that it was 50% off the clearance price. I figured however it fit, I would wear it because It's my two favorite colors & I was absolutely in love with the skirt portion of it (featured above).

I wore it with my Classified sandals & Target cardigan. 

It's also a racerback. For those of you not from a humid climate, racerbacks are gold when you're dealing with 85+ temperatures. Best way to feel semi naked. Plus the fact that I'm a 30F/FF, it's really nice to wear something that I feel sexy in but also gives me a chance to support it with a bra.

Chose to pair it with a cardigan (like I usually do) because cardigans are so classy to me. 

Plus they dress it up a little. You can take someone wearing a cardigan seriously.

OOTD: Swimsuit as seen on Daisy of Love

Even though my juggers are huge, I love swimsuits. Its almost always a constant that I go to Hot Topic & indulge in their 50% off clearance events simply because for some reason, the stuff that I actually really want goes on sale.
I saw this swimsuit on Daisy of Love when I was really in to VH1 reality shows & thought it was adorable & one of the less skanky things that she wore on the show. I freaking purchased it from Hot Topic for a grand total of 10$ (including both pieces) gotta love 50% off clearance !
