Bacon Flavored OOTD

Bacon anyone? Obviously this is not an ordinary outfit of the day, or an outfit of the day at all for that matter. One of the main reasons I’ve been M.I.A. from blogging lately is because I signed up for culinary art classes!! The classes will be held on Saturdays but I’ve been busy signing up and getting everything ready. Don’t worry I’m not planning on cooking Bacon (my cat, pictured above with his oh-so-cuddly eyes) but by the way he went running when he saw me in full chef uniform apparently he thought I was going to have him for dinner. I was actually trying to sit him inside of a pot while I posed for the photo but he wasn’t having it. Maybe because I occasionally watch “Bizarre Foods” on the Food Network channel I think he thought I might’ve taken the TV show seriously.

I’m really excited about finally getting the opportunity to take culinary art classes, specifically international cuisine. My extreme lack of cooking skills along with my fast food addiction were the main reasons for signing up. When I say fast food addiction I mean stopping by McDonald’s at least 3-5 times a week. And when it comes to my extreme lack of cooking skills, my skills are so bad that some of my most memorable fails include soggy microwaved bacon (the meat not my cat), burnt Campbell’s soup, & dish-washing soap filled pork chops (this one was completely accidental). So my weekly menu (when not buying McDonald’s) consists of microwaved hot dogs and TV dinners. When I’m asked about my nutrition habits I always blame it on lack of knowledge, so taking these classes will be the push I need to eat healthier.

Wish me luck everyone! And if I never do a blog post again it’s probably because I chopped off my fingers. 😆

Birthday OOTD x 2

Birthday, Birthday OOTD, Dress, Forever 21 Lace Dress, Lace Dress, Leopard Dress, Outfit of the Day, Sophia Vergara Dress

Last Tuesday was my 27th Birthday. 🙂 I’m having a mid-life crisis because the big three zero is coming around the corner so I decided to wear the sexiest outfits in my closet and justifying it by telling myself: “Dood (that’s what I call myself) you have to wear this stuff now that you can rock it before you turn 50 and you can’t.” Then I thought, if I wanted to dress like this when I’m 50, that would be very, very sad. Anyhow, those who know me know that I don’t dress like this at all. In fact, when I go shopping with my best friend she’ll openly tell me that what I’m trying on makes me look as if I’m going to church. Not that there is anything wrong with looking like you’re going to church, but sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone and live a little. So here’s my attempt at stepping out of my comfort zone.

Outfit #1: I celebrated twice this year, first I went to dinner with my girls during the week and then to dinner and dancing with my boyfriend on the weekend. Here’s what I wore to dinner with the girls. This leopard dress is from the Sophia Vergara collection at K-Mart and guess how much it cost? $15 (original price $50)! I purchased it while it was on sale and had an additional 40% discount. Here’s the link to purchase online. It’s super comfy and really sexy, and not too revealing to still feel classy and not hoochie.

Outfit #2: Here’s what I wore to dinner and dancing with my boyfriend. I previously showed this dress on a past haul (link here) and I purchased it at Forever 21 for $9.80. Super inexpensive dress. It is a bit shorter than the first dress but still very comfortable. I think this is probably the closest I’ll ever come to feeling like Kim Kardashian in my lifetime. (I swear I’m not trying to show my butt in the last photo, just the back of the dress.)

Here’s the lovely birthday present my boyfriend gave me. No it’s not an engagement ring (yet).

By the way, sorry about the photo quality in the outfit photos. I purchased a new camera and tripod which hopefully will arrive in the mail soon. So here’s to more outfit of the days and makeup looks coming soon! 😉

Oh and have you checked out my renewed “About Me” section? I switched it up a little…

Floral & Oxford Wedges Outfit of the Day

Beach Restaurant, Fashion, Floral Blouse, Floral Shirt, Outfit of the Day, Oxford Wedges

Hi everyone! My very first outfit of the day! Yay!! 😀 I wore this outfit to work on Friday 12/9/11. I wore my sheer floral print blouse mentioned in one of my last posts and paired it with jeans and my new brown oxford wedges, also mentioned in the same previous post. Please pay no attention to my “I’ve-been-wearing-this-makeup-all-day” face. I got dressed and ready in the morning, went to work and went to the mall afterwards and took this photo around 8 PM so you’re looking at my 13 hour make up face. 😯 I wanted to photoshop it but then realized I don’t know how. Anyhow, I really loved my outfit and wanted to share it with you.

Oh and yes, I realize how bad I am at posing in front of a camera. I take much better pictures when I don’t know a camera is pointing at me (sort of like Chandler from the TV series Friends, did you see that episode?).  Since I live alone in an apartment complex, my scenery is limited to my boring walls (unless you want to see the parking lot) and a self-timer camera. I promise to try to make my future OOTDs more interesting and use different walls. 😉 And I also apologize for the multi-plug cord on the side. I pushed it out of the way but leave it to Bacon to pull it out again. 🙂 Here’s the back view of the outfit and proof that Bacon did it:

Completely unrelated to my outfit, this week my bosses were in town and they took us out to dinner at restaurant on the beach. I’m in love with the view and scenery of the place. Here’s photos of the view, our dinner table and my appetizer – Tempura Shrimp with a Chili Plantain Sauce (it was delicious!).

BLOOPER! Bacon stepped in front of the camera. 😆
