Boots -- Bass Shoe Outlet

Tigers Sweatshirt -- Borrowed from my Brother

Well...I missed doing yesterday's outfit post. You see I was running from event to event all day (half-price book sale, meeting with a friend at Starbucks, etc...), and when I did finally have time to either film an OOTD video, or take outfit pictures all natural lighting was gone. I can tell y'all what I did wear though: my skinny jeans, purple lace dress, converse, and because it was on the chilly side yesterday I also wore my polka-dot jacket.

Today my brother had a double-header baseball this afternoon & evening, so most of my day was spent on the ballpark, or getting ready for the games. Originally I was wearing my mint pants, but since it was on the cold side today I switched to my jeans in the afternoon. Also, technically I couldn't wear my boots today (because they aren't one of my thirty items), but I was so cold at past games when I wore my converse and the weather was on the chilly side, that this time I was determined to be warm. I'm going to be thankful when this challenge is finally finished on Monday and I can wear what ever from my closet. *smile*

30 for 30 Remix Challenge | Day 26

::What I'm Wearing::

Refashioned '80s Blouse -- Secondhand

Skinny Jeans -- GAP Outlet

Converse -- Gift

It was rather warm today so I paired my refashioned '80s blouse with my skinny jeans, which is one of my favorite combinations. Then when we went to my brother's baseball game tonight (which was later rained out), I threw on my converse shoes incase it did rain, because I didn't want to wear my flats and then my feet get wet & cold. I'm thinking the piece I've worn the most during this challenge are my converse shoes. Hmm...maybe at the end of the challenge I should find out how many times I've worn each of the pieces I picked out for the challenge.  

Ooh! I was able to film a video talking about how I make these refashioned blouses, and I even show I refashion two new blouse in the video too. I just have to edit & upload the video (which will be sometime soon).

30 for 30 Remix Challenge ❘❘ Day 25

::What I'm Wearing::

Coral Sundress -- c/o eShakti

Oxfords -- ModCloth

Nail Polish -- Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Mint Sorbet 

Hello girls! I love second day hair when ever I curl my hair in curlers, 'cause the next day my hair is always very 1950s and tomorrow, or the day after my hair will be in a 1960s style. You know what? I really should curl my hair more often, because then I don't have to do as much to my hair when I get ready in the morning....well, beside the first day when I have to take out the curlers & style my hair. Today's hair reminds me of Marilyn Monroe's in the early 1950s, when her hair was more loose curls and less highly styled (like in the late '50s). I have examples of the period I'm talking about below. 

Oh, if y'all love the nail art I did on my nails and are wondering how I did it, well....I'll be having a video tutorial on my YouTube channel tomorrow, so keep an eye out for it on Pinterest & Twitter.

30 for 30 Remix Challenge ❘❘ Day 24

::What I'm Wearing::

White Tee Shirt -- Target

Cami -- Forever 21

Maxi Chiffon Skirt -- c/o OASAP

Belt -- Vintage

Floral Post Earrings -- Forever 21

Flats -- Steve Madden

Hair Flower -- Maurices

This past weekend I counted up what items I've used so far in the challenge and I've only used 26 of my items so far. Since I still have wiggle room (and I even added & taken away items throughout the challenge) I decided to add this chiffon maxi skirt that OASAP sent me to style. I'm in love with this skirt because you can dress it down (like I did today), or you can dress it up for a fancy event. Since I did my hair in a '40s style today, I kinda feel like this outfit has a 1940s feel. What do you think?

Famous Classic Movies that I don't like. | Classic Movie May

When Kristin of Sew Technicolor mentioned she was going to do a classic movie blog event, I was all for it. Of course, when I got really busy I plain forgot all about the event, and then when I saw her post this morning (a rare thing for me lately) I knew I had to join in some of the fun since I had some free time today. Hence we have today's post on the classic movies that everyone seems to love, but me.

Singin' in the Rain (1952) Starring:: Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, and Debbie Reynolds. -- I think I've only seen this film all the way twice (and that was only to show the movie to my siblings). I've seen the Donald O'Connor scenes a good number of times though, as they are the only part of the film I do enjoy watching. Once upon a time, there was a time in my movie watching that Gene Kelly was one of my favorite actors, but now I don't really care for him anymore. Not sure if it the really long dance numbers that he likes to do in his films, or it is the type of character he seems to always play -- which now gets on my nerves. Anyhow, this is one of those classic films that everyone seems to love but me.

The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) Starring:: Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, and Basil Rathbone. -- This is not one of my favorite Robin Hood adaptions (which btw, is my favorite English folklore storie), my favorite is the BBC TV show adaption and the Disney live action film with Richard Todd. Even though Robin Hood is always cocky (and Errol Flynn plays this type of role in every film he is in), I kinda see it as a front he puts up (which is obvious in the BBC adaption) to hid behind. So for some odd reason, I just can't get into this adaption not really sure why. I think I've only seen this film once.

  An American in Paris (1951) Starring:: Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron, and Oscar Levant. -- I saw this film several years ago, but I didn't watch it all the way through. I may, or may not have skip huge chunks of it, because I was kinda board with the film. Yeah, I think there are only five Gene Kelly movies that I do like that I've seen. I've also never seen the really long dance number at the end of this film, as I fast forward through it after awhile. Now, if it was Fred Astaire dancing, that would be a different story, I guess I don't like Gene Kelly's modern dancing style too much you could say.

My Fair Lady (1964) Starring:: Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison. -- I've never seen this film all the way through, I saw about half of the film either last summer, or the one before and never felt the need to finish it. I love Audrey Hepburn & Rex Harrison in other films, but I couldn't get into this film. Now, I do love the songs, I Could Have Danced All Night, Why Can't the English Learn to Speak?, and The Rain in Spain -- other then that, I don't really care for this movie. This was just one of those classic films that everyone has seen, that I thought I should check out especially after visiting the Warner Brother Studios.

What are some classic films that everyone seems to love, but you? Let me know in the comments.
