Cheap Me

Reason 1 million why Tumblr is better than Facebook: It’s not constantly covered with EVERYBODY’S FREAKIN BABIES and statements like “I can’t believe it’s been —- days/weeks/years already!”

SHUT UP! THAT’S HOW TIME WORKS SINCE THE DAWN OF EXISTENCE, IT GOES BY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are NOT impressed! Wore this getup to my office job

Spikes n bones n buns!

Aaand it’s everything I hoped for!

Positives:

The material and pattern are super flattering
It’s pretty toasty so I’ll get to wear it here in Michigan a lot
It’s longer than it looks, I thought my cheeks would be barely covered but as you can see I have a few extra inches
It’s beaUtiful!!

Slight Cons

It does ride up quite a bit (what short dress doesn’t?)
the sleeves are oddly long, however this is easily fixed by tucking them under

20,0000 Chinese lanterns are released in Grand Rapids Michigan as part of Art Prize.

*There many safety and security measures in place for this event and people who returned found lanterns were entered to win prizes.

My babies :)

I was inspired by the beautiful Haus of Price shoes I saw on Solestruck.com and decided to attempt my own version. Only took about 2 years cause I’m so slow!!

Here’s my lipstick cheap tip. Above is the lovely Bebe from Fated To Be Hated, she is wearing “Centrifuschia” by Lime Crime. I loved the look but my cheap Dutch spirit just wouldn’t let me pay the approx. $20 after shipping. Today at my local grocery store I found I found the almost exact same color by NYC called “Blue Rose” for $2!!

Does my hair look copper-ish? Dying it w/ L’oreal Color Pulse. Unfortunately they don’t make this stuff anymore, it was cheap, like $8-10! You can still find it on Ebay or Amazon though.
