Election Day

It's election day here in the U.S. A week after Halloween...and the ghost are still out. I'm a little nervous about the turnout. There are many things at stake. But I decided to calm my nerves through my patriotic outfit and be proud.






Through it, I feel a little like Super Girl...I'm going to need her strength. I chose glittery flats because they remind me of the stars. Perfect, no?


Enjoy this Norah Jones song which fits my state of mind right now:

Here's my ten minute outfit with my sock bun (it's sloppier than it should)

Jeggings - Bargain at JCPenny, $10
Polka dot sheer shirt - F21, $15ish
Under red shirt - FREE, hand me down
Glittery Shoes - Payless, $20 compared with Baker's $60 price

Window Shopping (On my Windows Laptop!)

One of my all-time favorite things to do online (other than being on Stumble Upon or Etsy while watching The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes on "Netty" Flix) is window shopping... That is, Windows shopping via the screen of my Windows Laptop.

I'm always tempted to create Wishlists, but I know no one will look at mine, especially because it would be endless!

If you have too much on your mind or need a little distraction (uhm, for an hour or two -- some would call it wasting time, but I call it prioritizing my potential closet), looking for your next item via online stores with the comfort of a not-so comfortable desk chair is an ideal method to channeling your stress into a creative and fashionably outlet.

Or maybe you really need to find something pretty epic for an upcoming event but can't deal with all the buzz of the people at a mall? Online shopping helps with that too.

Like most of you know, this blog's purpose is to provide meaningful guidance to an accessible closet: You may not have the extra cash for a Barneys' top (Heh, I went searching to see what the price ranges are for sale items...$60 and above. Maybe when I'm making over $60 K annually, except I'm not entirely sure this will ever be the case, but one can dream of having enough to shop for goodies while saving the world!), but you may definitely have an extra $20 or $10 bucks laying around for a look that may just scream Barneys!

Because Chatoyant Diary is going through a Formal Wear phase, I decided to provide links and images to various formal wear for women -- and MEN, too, but I'll leave you all for a different post -- that I find striking and are so utterly and irresistibly affordable!

**All these items were found in the Sales section of each online store. This is how I fulfill my longing to own tons of beautiful garments without making myself sad (*Fashionista predicaments).

Charlotte Russe -- 

If you're interested in one of the following dresses that in my humble opinion are relatively inexpensive, please follow the image's appropriate link by clicking on the titles!



Windsor -- 

**Windsor's online and in-store sales section makes me wonder what certain designers were thinking... However, if you happen to be a proud owner of a sewing machine and are quite tactful in creating something beautiful out of, well, out of something funky, I encourage you to  work your magic with some of Windsor's sales items! 

P.s. This is the only sales dress that I found to be beautiful. 

JCPenny --


(*This dress reminds me of something Hanna from Pretty Little Liars would wear!)




F21 --


What did I learned out of today's nightly Windows Shopping? I watch too much TV if my only relevant references are from major ABC Family and Marvel shows instead of great literary references! 

Well, to make it up: I'm terrified of Whales because of the tale of Jonah and the Whale! Bye!
