I'm back with my first ever Outfit of the Day! I hope you all had wonderful and filling Thanksgivings, and relaxing breaks to follow. I know that the short break provided me with just enough rejuvenation that I felt ready to take on the next three weeks ahead of me before winter break. Well... ready enough, anyway.
This year's Thanksgiving day was spent with my dad and his family, and it was a great way to celebrate the holiday, even though it was a small get-together. My grandparents came to my dad's house to join myself, my sister, Nina, my dad and his wife, Anna May, her aunt, and her son. It was not a fancy event by any means, but I still wanted to dress for the occasion.
My top was from Forever 21 a few months ago, for about $8, (total bargain price!), and I bought the skirt from Forever 21 in the same trip, as well. The skirt was likely around $15, and the combo is definitely cute and classy. I paired the outfit with a pair of maroon tights from Target, (likely also a clearance buy), and I wore my black CUggs (Costco Uggs), to keep my legs warm in my dad's cold house. CUggs are a great alternative in my opinion, if you're looking for Uggs without the price. They are ridiculously soft inside, (especially my chestnut pair), and they're just as good of quality.
My gold statement necklace was a Christmas present from Forever 21 last year, and I frequently wear it to make an outfit look a bit nicer. When it comes to my makeup look, I didn't do a full-face, although I did use concealer, blush and a bit of bronzer for my face. I used my Coastal Scents 88 shade palette to do a neutral eye with a wing, and colored in my eyebrows. To finish up the look, I put on a light coat of Wet 'n' Wild Bordeaux Bitten (one of their Halloween 2015 collection lipsticks).
The icing on the outfit was definitely my hair. Recently, I purchased a NuMe 32mm curling wand at $100 off; $28 for the wand plus $12 shipping. The 32mm can make really loose waves, which is really nice for something that isn't necessarily long-wear, but has that kind of messy but put-together look to it. I decided to hold my wand a bit longer for each ringlet, drop them each into my hand, and then let them down. This helped the curls hold, and gave them more bounce and shape than if I tried for waves.
If you like how my hair turned out and are interested in the product that I bought, I used the coupon code candycane28. If that doesn't work, however, I know they had a coupon code of NuMe28 for the same deal. I haven't tested out this code either, but it's always worth a try: SAVEBF60, for 60% off site-wide, and free shipping, (ends December 31st)! During Cyber Week only, CYBER24 will get you any wand for $24.99. Their holiday sales are incredible, and the quality is truly amazing.
And with that, I leave you with an awkward picture from Thanksgiving, because a mini-photoshoot wouldn't be complete without an awkward candid!
Happy 22 Days Until Christmas!
