Just Call it "Grunge"

I took OOTD (Outfit Of The Day) photos outside for the first time. From now on, every time I want to take OOTD photos, I'm going to take them outside; they come out so much better! The quality is better, my skin looks smoother even though I'm not wearing any makeup (except for my red lipstick of course), and I didn't even have to edit the pictures. Sunlight looks way better on my skin than a light bulb/ceiling light/electric light (whatever you want to call it) does.

Crop top

Denim waistband skirt

Over-the-knee tights

Lace-up boots

Vintage cross-body bag

Spiky necklace

My little sister said my outfit makes me look like an orphan. Then she was like "Nahh, you look like Sikowitz's (from "Victorious") daughter. All you need is a coconut." haha!

My big sis said this about my t-shirt: "It's grunge, which is another word for ratchet." :) The things my siblings say...

I like my facial expression in this one. It's so careless.

"When the sun is shining I can do anything; no mountain is too high, no trouble too difficult to overcome."

Such a fake smile! haha

I made the crop top myself. I was thinking about making a DIY video for crop tops, but it's so easy to do that making a video about it might be a waste of time. All I did was take an old t-shirt and cut some fabric off the bottom, easy right? Maybe I'll find/think of some more DIY t-shirt projects to try out before making the video...hmm, we'll see.
By the way, I made an OOTD video for this look. Check it out!

My Favorite Trend of 2011

Hands down, my favorite trend of 2011 was combat boots.

I made post, after post, after post about them. Even though combat boots have been around for a couple of years, I still see people wearing them. I don't know when I'll get my own, but when I do, whether people are still wearing them or not, I will wear those boots to death.

The thought of fresh, clean, edgy, freakin' hot combat boots on my feet just warms my heart. They are at the top of my shopping list and they have been for maybe two years. I have no idea why I blow all my money as soon as I get and forget about the awesome combat boots I still haven't bought yet. If I had to choose any pair of combat boots to have right now, I would go for these nice, basic, black ones:

Black Lace-Up Snap-Button Back Zip Boots $39.50

I need to hurry up and get a job so I can have a pair of combat boots on my feet by this summer.

Diane's Fashion Obsessions: Combat Boots

Oh my gosh, I've wanted combat boots forever, but for some reason I STILL don't have any! They would look great with just about anything. If I had some I would pair them with cut-off shorts, dresses, leather and denim jackets, skirts, skinny jeans, etc. I love them because they're so edgy, and they add fierceness to a seriously-girly outfit. It's my mission to get a pair this summer!!

I've recently fallen in love with Doc Martens, so those are also at the top of my "Must Have" list!
