A Penny for Her Thoughts

Deep breath. Take it in. She can see the world without even opening her eyes. What's she thinking as she faces the wind and lets her imagination run wild through the field she's standing in? A penny for her thoughts? You can't pay a penny for her thoughts, they're much more valuable than that; they're at least a dollar. 

ABOUT THE LOOK: Oh I love this skirt (Forever 21)! It's so diverse! Anyway, it's December in Missouri so I'm wearing a mesh skirt and a tucked in lace, peplum top (Plato's Closet) when I should be in the fluffiest coat I can find. This weather is insane. And I know what a few of you are thinking... A white shirt! In December! Uhm... yes. I feel like white looks its loveliest in December when the there's snow on the ground! ... Or a field of tall, dead grass. 

BIG Thanks to my friend Mason for taking these pictures. That's his dog... it's name is Penny;P

Plus, like Caged In Clothes on FB because there's a big surprise coming up that will be announced on there!

Bluepers

 

It's hard to be so darn pertfect. The hair, the lighting, the outfit, the face, it all has to be perfect if you're a blogger. It's what's expected... but let's be reasonable... who is ever perfect? It's time to show the behind-the-scenes, the unedited. The part that isn't perfect.

Showing my Sole

This post is all about one thing... my shoes. I LOVE these shoes. Have I had a chance to wear them yet... no. I don't really go to enough formal events to wear 5 1/2 inch heels. Anyway, this post is about my shoes because Chictopia is having a contest called "Show You Sole." I entered it and would love it if you all would help me out by voting, commenting and favoriting my picture.

The picture has a story with it though, or at least the shoes in the picture do. We had to describe what the shoes say about you and so here is what I said.

          "I love these shoes for many reasons. One reason is that they are gorgeous, but another is that they really describe who I am.

                  The heels are snakeskin AND black suede. To complete opposites put into one, just like me. Snakeskin. Wild. Outlandish. An instant way to stand out. I love doing all of that. I hate swimming in the sea of normal, I’d rather wash up on the shore of the bright and beautiful where they like to party and let their personality shine. I love bold colors and taking chances and that’s what the snakeskin says.

However, there are times when I tone it down. Sometimes, a subtle wave wraps around my over-the-top personality, just like the black suede wraps around the snakeskin. The wild is tamed, even if just for a moment. I get calm. I write. I blog. I am the black suede.

The components of the shoe are the same of me. I am wild. I am calm."

Half a Hippie

Today I'm sporting this lovely cardigan, black lace dress, slouchy crop top, boots with socks and hat. I titled this post Half a Hippie because it has a little hippie vibe, but is crawling with a modern, chic vibe as well. You can't really tell, but this cardigan has shiny bits of thread that make it look like a rainbow up close. It's fantastic.

So far, I've been pretty good about keeping up with my lips. Wow, how awkward sounding, but I'm serious. I make sure they are colored accourding to my outfit everytime. This time, for example, they are a soft orange, I actually quite like it.

Check me out on PINTREST! I'm Shelbylugal if you want to look me out. I'm addicted to this site!

And if you may, please follow me and comment on a few of my pictures on CHICTOPIA because I'm trying to get a lot of points to win a pair of Jeffrey Campbell Night Walkers! If you refer to a post from last month, you will know how obsessed I am with these shoes since I dedicated a post to them!:P

Me and My Creeper

She's not really a creeper. She's my best friend... ever. Her name is Heather and we are what one might call "Chug-A-Muffins." Well, one might actually not call us that, but that's what we call each other. Up and downs, high and lows, we have each others backs, as you can clearly see in these next few pictures. This isn't a normal fashion post of my, it actually has to do with my life and friends but I hope you enjoy it anyway.

These pictures were taken at my school, hence the red lockers and endless twisting hallways I hate walking down everyday. My amazing photographer friend, Andrea, is taking these gorgeous pictures and there will be more photos by her VERY soon.

Eh Eh Ehmmmm...
I'm thinking of holding a giveaway for all of you readers. I draw clothes very well and was wondering if anyone would like to send me a picture of themselves in their favorite outfit, and I would recreate the look through one of my pictures. I would then post it as an example of what I can do and then hold a giveaway where someone would win the chance to have me draw their picture, but I would also send them the origional print as well. Comment and tell me what you think, and also leave a comment with your email if you want to send me a picture for me to draw of you! (It will be featured in a post on my blog as well as your picture. If you post your email, use [dot] so the spam bots don't get you. email@hotmail[dot]com).

Dress (used as skirt): Macys, $70

Shirt: Plato's Closet, $7

Leather Jacket: Playdoughs Closet, $10

Red Lace

I love cheap clothes. Anything that comes for $10 or less, automatically has a place in my heart and my closet. I got this dress on sale for $4. I knew it was mine as soon as I saw it! I also just want to say that I dedicate this post to my boyfriend. I know he will see this because he googled my name when he was bored and found my blog and now has it on his phone. Don't think of it as creepy... think of it as he likes me enough to Google me:D Makes me feel special... when I think of it the second way.

I received these shoes from a giveaway and am so happy I was the winner! These shoes are incredibally comfortable and extremely versitile! I've worn them with all sorts of outfit styles ranging from rocker to bohemian. The folded down part even lifts up to make it longer. I'd been wanting boots like these for such a long time and these are the perfect pair for me. I'm not really a big online shopper, but if I was, I would shop at MIA Shoes. Check them out if you are a person with an amazing taste in shoes or are a shoe addict like me!:P
Hope you like this post! I know I loved shooting it, and sorry about my backpack and coat in the background, I'm not good enough at photoshop to remove it.
