BlacK with a spLash .

 ..often times, we try and hide in black. maybe to make us seem slimmer or just so we don't stick out too much. I stay away from wearing black way too often because I love color and we look GREAT in it.

BUT a night of ALL BLACK EVERYTHING is necessary every now and then. the other night, I went out to Lucky Strikes Bowling Alley with some of the girls. Didn't feel like wearing heels but I still "dressed up" .. a little anyway.

I wore a black body suit that had a sheer collared shirt connected to it that I picked up at a VERY small thrift store near my job. It was just $2 and I love it. This is just one way I decided to wear it, but in the future, I have a few more ideas ;]

My pants are from Forever 21 - they're kinda MC Hammer-like. a little bubble fit at the waist line and comes down to be a little more fitted by the ankles. They also have zippers at the ankles.

how you accessorize, can make(and sometimes BREAK) the outfit. I kept it simple because I wanted more of the attention to be at my eyes than anywhere else. Picked up my leopard frames from Urban Outfitters and I love them. in my opinion, they can go with pretty much everything, especially another print (pattern clashing is my FAVORITE, btw). Oddly enough, I'd probably never wear them if I am wearing anything else leopard. I am not a fan of matching TOO MUCH. weird? ahhh, yupppp, that's me! haa. OH! and the royal blue liner I got from a hairstore. Lasts all night long!

For my lips, all I did was start with regular chapstick(a must - let's take of our lips, ladies). On top of that, was just a 99 cent nude lipstick by Wet n' Wild (900B) and I topped that with a whipped vanilla lipgloss from Bath & Body Works. They have the best gloss because it doesn't leave that white ring after a while. 

OXFORRRRRRRRDS ! Love these simple black patent leather oxfords I picked up on sale at Aldo for $30. Look like tap shoes!

lastly, check out my lovely girls & the birthday girl in gold!
