Summertearz

The title of this post is definitely accurate in the sense that there are currently tears being shed for the presence of summer. I'm completely over this cold spell we are experiencing, surely depicted in this outfit. Granted, on this day it was a bit warmer, but still way too cold for March. 

I've been very into lingerie and delicate looking pieces lately, so these shorts were just meant to be resurfaced. They are quite billowy and at times, when an unfortunate gust of wind sweeps through, there is a possibility of them flashing some booty cheek. But hey, team booty cheek for life. 

And of course, my babies. These boots are so amazing and sass up any outfit. I don't know if I've mentioned that the long part is detachable, which makes them very versatile. Plus, who wouldn't want to wear sexed up gogo boots?

Get Ur Freak On

Top: Urban Outfitters / Dress: Thrifted / Shoes: Elle / Necklace&Brooch: Grandma

Lately the weather has been unsatisfactory, so I got creative and found a nice spot in my house. This is in my parents bedroom, and I've always loved the look of this lounger. I have this vision of a young girl lying across it on a summer's day drinking lemonade and reading her magazines. 

Someone actually said I looked like an anime character in this outfit, and I love that (even though I don't really watch anime). I draw inspiration from polar opposite styles, but I find it works for me. Get used to this top because I love it! It's perfect as just a top or layered under/over different pieces. The sleeves give it an empress vibe don't you think? 

I also started a new portfolio for my styling. I would greatly appreciate it if you would check it out! (makenziegodso.tumblr.com) 

Don't Mind Me

Top: Urban Outfitters / Skirt: Thrifted / Boots: Jessica Buurman 

This past weekend my school held the annual Winter Formal dance, and this is what I wore. I ordered these Chanel inspired boots for my birthday, and they arrived a couple day before the dance, so I felt obligated to wear them (not that I was complaining...). They basically go with everything and make my legs look like poles, which should be everyone's goal. The crop top has an empress vibe to it because of the flowing shoulders. And of course, who could resist velvet? 

I had fun doing this hair and makeup look, which was a slicked back hair-do and thick black liner that fades into a cat-eye. I've been more into makeup lately and coming up with unique looks is fun because you have so much liberty to create a masterpiece on your face.  

Also, Photoshop is my bff. 

Birthday Wishin

So my birthday is fast approaching (next Monday) and I made a list of the things I currently want:

1. White Chanel inspired boots (Jessica Buurman) 

2. Ziggy Stardust Sequin Shorts (Miracle Eye)

3. Zip Front Dress (Zara)

4-6. Peter Pilotto for Target

Mama, you're beautiful

Don't mind me dancing....

Once again, I made a video. I apologize for the crappy quality on it, because the movie maker on my computer is not so great. 

I really loved how these pictures came out. Claudia and I were frolicking around my back yard and decided to take pictures. The red of the brick contrasts nicely with my bright green shorts. I got these from Choies for Christmas and they are so great. I love the fit and the color is so vibrant. I also got this shirt from Goodwill one day. It's got a 90's vibe to it, all the more reason to love it. I'm not really one for necklaces like this, but my mom got it for me for Christmas, and it grew on me. I just liked it paired with the greens and blues in my outfit. 

Someone on Tumblr gave me the idea to take myself out on a date. She spent the whole day by herself doing miscellaneous things, such as going to the movies, getting ice cream, and going to a museum. I feel like everyone should do this at least once a year. Yeah it can be slightly awkward doing things by yourself, but it's also a way to connect with yourself more. People are often surrounded by others, so this would be a nice way to take a step back and reconnect with yourself. I am off school Friday, so I plan on taking myself out. I will take pictures and definitely post something about it on here. I advise you guys to do the same, and let me know how it goes!  

Bandana Rama

Top: Thrifted / Pants: Urban Outfitters / Jacket: Mom's / Shoes: SammyDress

I'm going to be completely honest and let you know that I feel like Amelia Earhart, only because of my bandana (and it would be schweeet to fly a lil plane). I saw Leandra Medine of The Man Repeller wearing different neck scarves and she mentioned her friend sporting different bandanas around her neck, so I succumbed. 

These pants have a funny little story behind them. I bought them online about two weeks ago and they looked so rad on the model (stores always do that...) so I was in. I giddily received them in the mail and immediately tried them on, only to be horrified because they looked like harem pants [Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Harem Pants..]. I kept them on for about an hour, whilst blogging on Tumblr, so I could get accustomed with the idea of debuting these pants in public. I even went downstairs in front of my family to get food, and of course my dad couldn't refrain from laughing. But as I kept them on longer, I grew to like the free flowiness that they provided for my legs. And that brings me to the present. I actually really like how they look now, as I've tried them on with different shoes and the sassiness level keeps increasing. 

Now on to shoes. I ordered these from Sammydress and I fell in love. I don't know if you can really see them because of the lighting in these pictures (sry, it was storming outside and I had to document this), but they look almost like gogo boots with pony hair infused into the mix. The white portion is extremely shinny, and the pony hair part adds a little bit of 'yeah I have furry boots, what are you going to do about it?' in the mixture that makes this shoe. The grips on the bottom are actually very useful and help make it easier to walk with these shoes on, while adding the rugged look to them. 

And now a little bit of me in gif form... (THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN)

Miss Jackson

Top: Purple Cow / Jacket: Thrifted / Shorts: Urban Outfitters / Boots: XXI / Hat: Thrifted

It's Cyber Monday, and I'm currently crying. I am (sadly) not going to purchase anything because I already bought some stuff last week. It's a tragedy.

These shorts from Urban Outfitters are surprisingly comfortable and quite beautiful. I love the embroidered detailing on the thigh, that's what drew me to them. I feel kind of like a cowboy with my hat, but a stylish one correct? The shirt also brings a dash of 'I'm sophisticated, but also sassy, so don't mess with me.' 

Well, we endured a cold week and now it is currently around 80 degrees. It doesn't feel like Christmas is 23 days away because we are fanning ourselves instead of shivering by a fire. Gotta love Louisiana weather <3

Also obsessing over Panic! at the Disco's new album, Miss Jackson has been on repeat

Woah I never knew how fun layering could be. But it did prove quite difficult whilst trying to pee. 

I saw the skirt over jeans trend a while back on Tumblr and have been trying to replicate it myself. Technically these are shorts, not a skirt. BUT it does look like a skirt, so whatever 4evr. I kinda feel like I'm from the Matrix or something with these glasses and coat, almost futuristic hobo, ya feel? And can we just talk about this shirt? It's got furry cuffs- genius. Done. 

I've been in love with the masculine side of fashion since I started this blog, but I was always too afraid to try it. Not that I like looking like a man or anything, but it's so cool to be able to dress like that. I quite literally embodied that trend by wearing men's shoes. I know you're probably like "OMG EW" but they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned, and I like the chunkiness of them. They are the perfect boots for me to throw on, and they make me feel intimidating which is always a bonus. Idk I just felt really masculine in this outfit and it wasn't so weird. 

My dad also walked past while I was taking these and said if I wanted more followers I should take pictures of him...what do you say, vogue pics of Randall????

Everyone go listen to Lady Gaga's new album because it is simply beautiful. I've only listened to the first two songs and I'm obsessed. 

On another note, I don't know if any of you have heard of the huge typhoon hitting the Philippines, but it was the worst storm in history. I just want everyone to know of what is going on and please just keep them in your thoughts, maybe even donating to help them if you can.
