pastel, x3

Shirt: Michael Stars Jeans: GJG Denim Shoes: Report Bow hair accessory, knuckle ring: F21 Double ring: Swank Sunglasses: H&M Bracelets: Tiffany & Co.

I am wearing pastels in three different ways today: a baggy, lavender Michael Stars t-shirt, ballet pink skinny jeans, and "Tiffany blue" nail polish. I even wore my Tiffany bracelets to go with the nail polish today :)

This shirt is so comfortable, and the color is very subtle. I really like it, except I think the sleeves could be a little shorter or less baggy. I like combining the subtle shirt with the bright, pastel jeans. It is a good outfit to wear for studying, which I've been doing all day. I'm taking a quick break to post this, then back to research and reading and a bunch of other stuff I'd rather not be doing on a sunny day. Finals are coming up and I feel like everything else is on the back burner, including blogging. I'm sorry I haven't been posting every day! School is my first priority and as much as I love to post daily, I haven't had the time. Don't worry, though. I'll be back in full swing soon!

Also - is it just me, or does my hair look really short today?!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

cheap nail polish finds

I was at the drugstore today and found a few awesome bottles of nail polish! Even though the trip was only meant for face wash, the shopper in me took a look at the makeup section. I love good nail polish finds, especially if they're cheap! Sometimes I don't buy cheap nail polish because of the quality of the paint and brushes, but some brands are actually pretty nice for the price!

Left: "Mezmerised" by Essie, $8

Middle: "Blue-Ming" by Color Club, $5

Right: "Energetic Red" by Sinful Colors, $2

I bought the Essie color thinking it would be similar to the shade of medium-wash jeans, but it's actually a little darker. It's more of a cobalt, saturated blue. It's still very pretty, though!

The "Tiffany Blue" polish in the middle is great! I'm rocking this shade right now. It's a beautiful robin's egg blue hue that is pretty good quality for only five bucks.

The red polish on the right is a gorgeous shade of red. It's not too alarming and not too subtle - a good in-between shade of red that's perfect for summer.

I'm thinking of doing a "French manicure" on my nails with the blue color in the middle and the red. The blue would be the base and the red would be on the tips. Do you think this would look good, or totally crazy?! If I like it I'll post some pics on here ;) and if not... well, you can assume it probably didn't turn out so well. Haha.
