Turban Headband and Flowers

Hi all,
I've been eyeing turban headbands for quite some time but was always hesitant about how one would look on  me or what people would think-- I get tons of annoying stares by solely rocking a bright lipstick.
Recently, I've been feeling a lot bolder when it comes to fashion, so I went ahead and bought one.
I purchased this specific creamy one at Ross for $4.99, but I've also seen them at Rue 21, Papaya, and a few other stores.
I opted for this color because I figured it would be easier to style although now I feel like that's not particularly true. Not because the color was hard to work with, but because mix and matching with the other available colors would have actually been a lot of fun.
Regardless, the piece itself is really cute, and while it did draw quite a bit of attention, I like it. I might even buy another in a different color.
I paired the piece with a sweater of a similar color from Guess and a denim jacket-- both gifts-- on top and went for loose, floral shorts from Forever 21 to balance out the warmth of the outfit. You can't see from the pictures, but I am wearing my blue oxfords, and lastly, my lipstick is Eucalyptus by NYX.
That's going to be it from me for today, but I'll be posting every Tuesday and Thursday (with the exception of Thanksgiving Thursday) from now on, so stay tuned for that.

As always, thank you for reading!
Meow and out,
Gabee

Autumn is here!

Hey Blog Friends (I've been watching too many Jim Chapman YouTube vlogs):

Autumn is here! Okay, so it's in the low 80° and gets to the low 70°  at nights here in Phoenix, Ariz., but we Phoenicians consider this lovely weather perfect to pull out our tights and light long sleeves (we live in a desert people, with scorching heat for months and months and months). 

The following outfit I call my "Bonnie" outfit. Anyone who's a fan of Vampire Diaries might think so too. I got the dress slash shirt at Charming Charlie in downtown Phoenix, which is about 10 minutes away from my school. It's a two-story store with all the accessories any girl can ever dream of. I got this shirt/dress sometime last winter and it was on sale for 10 bucks reduced from a price of, I think, $30. It's also sort of a rosy brown color. 

The tights are from Target for $6. 

And I got my midnight blue oxfords at Cathy's at AZ Mills Shopping Center. All shoes at the store were buy one get another 50% off...so Gabee and I tried to cheat the system. We both got ourselves a pair of midnight blue oxfords and rather than one paying $20 and the other paying $10, we each paid $15, saving ourselves $4 (each, so $8 in total)!
