30 for 30 : Camel vibe

Here is a very boring outfit...I was heading to work so I sticked to the basics. I just added teal earrings and an ethnic big chunky necklace to jazz it up a bit (DIY necklace and earrings).

Turtle neck was bought in sale at Mango for less than 20 $

Cardigan : 3$98 at Old Navy (who needs to go thrifting when you can find brand new items at this price ? ...Well, I know : people not wearing boring outfits as I do !)

Pants : 7$99 at RW&CO (add 60 % on an already sale items and BAM, ridiculous prices)

I have not published day 2 as it was kind of the same as day 1 : I bought the pants in grey-blue and purple and cardigans in all the colors I could find ! So Day2 was purple day !

My love for the Vanity Palette from Wet&Wild is not fading ! As I go to places for work where I don't know how they feel about make up , this one is the perfect pick... In the look I did that day, I used the shimmery white (inner corner) the yellow gold (all over the lid), shimmery brown (outer V), medium matte brown (crease), matte beige mixed with the shimmery white (highlight), a little bit of the matte brown to give depth in the outer corner and a little bit on the lower lash line... I used EVERY single color !

Sorry for the sagged lids : I am getting older I guess ! This look was really pretty and I think it's my favorite look from it. I am so bummed that us Canadian are gonna be deprived from the 8 color e/s palettes : so UNFAIR ! Boooooooooo Wet & Wild , Booooooooooo

Caro- cursing Wet & Wild for the next 10000 coming generations if they don't bring their palette to Canada (and I am a very powerful witch, so beware W&W !) xxx

From drab to FAB : DIY cloths

Lately I have been obsessed with fashion blogs. Those girls are beautiful, they mix and match cloths in a dream and they never , ever wear his UGLINESS (see 1st pic). I don't know what was into me when I bought this ugly top at Old Navy 2-3 years ago....I never wore it....

So as I dive into the beauty of The Glamourai blog , I found a section DIY (Do it Yourself). She alters her cloths , she does her own jewelry and it looks so much fun . So equiped with a pair of killing scissors, I got rid of the black trim, cut all the ugly little black flowers away and find myself with a indecent top (hello cleavage !). So I decided to transform the back as the front piece. I added some white ribbons and TADAAAAAAAAAA I have a new top fresh and fluffy and girly !

What do you think ???
