Fall Fashion is the BEST Fashion

I can't help but love this time of year! As the temperature drops we dig out our jackets, scarves, boots and thick socks- some of my favorite things. I love layering and bundling up and I feel so much more comfortable picking out outfits this time of year. I feel like crap all summer sweating in boring tank tops and shorts. I never quite know what to do with myself in June, July and August.

NOTD- Jolt-Bang-Sunburst!

Salon Perfect textured polishes from the Neon Collision collection in Jolt and Bang. They both contain the same matte glitter in hot pink and neon yellow but in different concentrations. To the eye they look orange and give a cool stippled effect.

Glasses!

 

Had to get glasses this week, but I don't mind since I can see better and have way less eye strain and headaches. The frames are black and have some tiny silver glitter in them. They are made by Bongo.

If you are wondering, my makeup is Missha Perfect Cover BB cream, Jordana Semi Permanent Eye Liner and Kate by Rimmel #14 lipstick (which is awesome btw, go by it). Necklace was purchased at XSRE on clearance for like $5! I think it was originally marked $21. It looks amazing with my Kreepsville skull collection necklace.

Milani Infinite Liquid Eye Liner in 01 Infinite Review

 

Hmm, I'm honestly not sure how I feel about this product. It promises up to 24 hrs of wear (which is a garbage claim that I'm sick of seeing) and says it is waterproof and wears comfortably.  

Picked this up at Walmart for about $6. There are 4 other shades available: black, bronze, green and purple.

Annoying Frequently Asked Questions

Why are you so pale? 
I'm pale because it's genetic. Why are you [insert skin color]? I choose not to tan because I don't want to look like a leather couch in my 30s and the color of a basted turkey is just not flattering. Tans emphasize all my skin imperfections too. I scar easily and my body is covered in little round scars from bug bites and scrapes I got as a kid. They are REALLY noticeable even with a light tan.

Don't accuse me of wearing the wrong foundation or being sick. THAT IS RUDE, K. Don't harass me about it loudly in public places (especially when I'm at work) because you just look like a freakin dumbass to everyone else. Trrrrrust me, it is genetic. One side of my family is all ginger Swedes, we don't do tanning.

What did you do to your hair?
I dyed it... what do you think?

Why do you always wear nail polish?
My nails are in awful shape. Nail polish keeps them from peeling and breaking (well, more than they would with out). It also hides the discolored marks on my nails. The short answer, however, is because I want to and I like it.

Why are you so skinny?
I'm not even going to entertain this one, especially in public. It's a rude question. I am actually average weight for my height. I am not sickly and I don't have an eating disorder. Also, don't pinch my love handles looking for an ounce of fat, personal space please!





What ever happened to manners? If you feel the need to interrogate someone about their appearance DON'T. Take a deep breath, step back and think about why you're bothered by it. If you're just curious maybe try to phrase your question in a less obnoxious way like "how do you manage to keep your skin so light this time of year?" or "your hair is interesting, how did you do it?".
