Watercolors Under The Bridge (Frock Challenge!) - Part 1/8

8/2/2013

31 Days of Dresses Challenge!

Here's another challenge: Can I wear every dress I own this month? Why? Because I'm a glutton for pain, I guess. Haha. Also, the summer is almost over and I haven't worn a single dress. I mean, you kind of have to wear at least a few dresses over the summer, right? So, I'm making up for this error.

This is probably the worst challenge as I'm not a dress lover. I'm also not confident that I have enough dresses to wear for each day. Oh well, that's what makes it a challenge, right? Haha. So here goes!

If I could show you every dress I plan to wear for the month, I would. However, that would be a lot of posts! Haha. So, I'm just going to do the highlights for each week. Cool? Cool. OK, so check out this little number that I put together over the weekend. I'm doing my absolute best not to layer up over the dresses so you can actually see them. You have no idea how hard this is for me. o_O O_o Hehe.

I put a single top over the dress and that's it. Ugh. I wanted to do so many other things with this dress, but if I had my way, you wouldn't even be able to tell that I was wearing a dress. Haha. This is an exercise in restraint. Yes. A good challenge, indeed. I added a frilly skirt underneath for just a little extra length and that's about it. I dressed everything down with sneakers and my favorite canvas bag. :P

I can't believe I'm doing this to myself. Haha. I think it's because I need to. If I keep buying dresses, then I need to freakin' wear them, right? I ain't afraid of no frock! Watch me, bro! >=|~ ~ ~

Breakdancing Jesus & zeroUV Review! (T-Shirt Challenge!) - Part 9/9

7/30/2013

15 Comments

I thought I'd put my quirkiness into full gear for this last day of the challenge and go out with a futuristic bang. We've got breakdancing Jesus above, the universe below and a little limbo in between. :DDD

I think this is one of those outfits that not very many people would dare to wear or could wear. Haha. It's probably just me on this one, really. Though, it's something that I've heard often. You know, the whole, "man, I could never wear that outfit, but it looks great on you!" I'm sure part of that is just people blowing smoke up my ass and just being polite rather than offering constructive criticism for fear I'll take it the wrong way. Hehe. However, I do think there is quite a bit of truth to their statement, too.

Why wear something that anyone can immediately emulate? Be as unique and creative as possible!

zeroUV Review

I'd also like to carve out a little section here just to talk about my experience buying from zeroUV. I found them on the Chictopia shop and they were having a sale on some pretty cool looking sunglasses.

I clicked on their homepage link and browsed it a bit before deciding on three pairs of glasses: this blue one you see here, a clear one with brown marbled rims and some flip sunglasses. Making an account was easy enough. I had some trouble with the info fields when I signed up, though. I think the boxes were misaligned with the text or something. Heh. Anyway, they offer free shipping on everything, I think. I know that my glasses shipped free and arrived within a reasonable time. Very well packaged, too!

I decided I liked two out of the three sunglasses, so I emailed zeroUV's customer care to obtain a return authorization to send back the marbled ones. It was a no-hassle experience. I was provided with a pre-paid shipping label and I was able to return the other glasses for a full refund. :D Their glasses are pretty reasonably priced. This blue pair was just $5.00 and their styles are pretty rad, IMO.

Anyway, that's all I've got. Hehe. This is a short post, since it's really all about my awesome t-shirt. :D You last saw the galaxy tights here, the striped high low dress here and the combat boots here.

And so my t-shirt challenge finally comes to an end! Whew! o_O O_o Let's celebrate with one of my favorite late 90s break beat tracks by Hybrid. I can totally see Jesus staring down a bouncer before getting let into a seedy underground night club where he walks right to the middle of the dance floor and busts a heavenly move to this track! Haha. :D For those of you whom I haven't scared away with this post (or this song..haha), you should know that I have a super cute post coming up, so don't worry.

Calm yourself! Everything is going to be OK! Haha. <3
