Outfit of the Days, March 26 & 28

Hello everyone! I just wanted to post up my outfit of the days from this week. I though you guys might enjoy them.

Monday

Yay for climbing up trees! I didn't break anything so all was well.

Monday I decided to wear an outfit inspired by one of the looks in a Japanese magazine my friend gave me. It is from 2010 but I think the look is still nice, especially since where I live, it is transitioning into spring and it is nice to have rolled up pants and shirts.

          The top is from Forever 21, I got it two years ago, but you could probably find a very similar one like THIS or THIS. The black vest I got at H&M a few years ago also, but it is very easy to find a black vest. The olive green pants are actual Army pants I found at the thrift store. I got them for a few bucks and they are some of my favorite pants. I found these in the men's section, but they fit around my waist just fine and look really cute when the bottoms are rolled up. The black flats are from Payless.

Dork...

I found my jacket at a resale store but it is originally from Forever 21. It is a medium blue color and the sleeves are 1/2-3/4 depending on if they are rolled up or down. You can't see it very well, but the flower in my hair was from Claire's.

Wednesday

          Today my focus was more on my makeup and my hair then my outfit. I knew I would be running around all day so I tried to keep my outfit simpler. 

Curled hair for the win.

 For my hair I used a straightening iron to curl it in different directions. My makeup was kept in a monochromatic purple scheme. I used NYX 10 Color Eyeshadow Palette, The Runway Collection 07 Versus. THIS is what it looks like if you are curious. Underneath that I have NYX Jumbo Pencil in Oyster. My mascara is Buxom Lash in Black. I'm testing it out. Possible review in the future. Other than that my blush is Clinique's iced lotus (I've had this forever and I still haven't hit pan!), and Burt's Bees chapstick. 

Here's and outfit shot. Jacket from Forever 21 a year or two ago (I don't buy many new clothes). The top is a black and purple boat neck from Kohl's two years ago. My jeans are Levi's (got them at the thrift store though!) and shoes are purple Converse. Pink hair is awesome <3  My jacket in the shot below was from...a store...I'm sorry I really can't remember but I've had it for over 4 years. It is an olive green fitted jacket. I really like layering jackets like this because where I live I never know what the weather is going to do next and if I have two jackets it will keep me warmer and dryer (especially if one has a hood). The hood was the only thing that saved my hair from the crazy rain today. 

Which outfit was your favorite?

New Blog and Introductions!

Nice to meet you all, my name is Anna May. I am currently living in the United States, as I have my entire life. Someday I wish to spend time in Japan, and am currently trying to learn Japanese (with the help of my awesome friend Aya).

Right now I have a YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/craftteenbeauty which is mainly used for Makeup tutorials. From the encouragement of my friend Aya, I have decided to try this blogging thing again (many miserable failures later). I tend to get lazy about posting things, even on YouTube, but I will try really hard to keep this blog up to date (and I’ll get Aya to yell at me if I start slacking).

            In the future I plan on posting about many different topics, some including makeup reviews, book reviews, movie reviews, Anime/Manga reviews, random rants, personal stories, Japanese language progress, convention experiences, artwork, and general comments on life itself.
