March 6th, 2012: A Friend To A Friend

Red cardigan (Sears), white shirt (Wet Seal), black and white checkered skirt (Goodwill), black tights (Wal*Mart), American Eagle flats, gold chain necklace (Goodwill)

I went shopping with a few friends a while back at Goodwill and I told myself I was only going to buy a few things.  A few things turned into 3 skirts and a sweater, which adds up, believe me.  While we were shopping, I noticed that the skirt that I had bought in this picture looked exactly as the one that my friend had on.  So, I call it a friend to friend look.  It's okay to steal looks, honestly, people.  I feel flattered when someone steals a look.  It's not a disgrace, don't look down upon someone for doing either.  
Heck, I used to admire a girl in my sophomore class (which by the way, I owe ALL of my fashion sense to her.  Without her, I would not who I am with clothes today).  She always was dressed very tastefully.  She wasn't fashionable in no sense, but everything she wore was with taste.  So, I tried to "copy" her style a bit.  I began to notice things a lot better, and a new Makayla been evolved.  So, you see, I still am who I am, I just needed a little nudge from another person to do so.  
Copying a look is not a big deal.  Copying a lifestyle, now that is a whole other story.

February 16th, 2012: Surprises, Surprises!

Dad's plaid shirt, H&M black belt, gray leggings, black over-the-knee socks, Charlotte 
Russe combat boots, Haitian bracelet

Surprises, surprises!  Number one, I got home and I discovered my birthday present had arrived finally in the mail!!!! 


Yay!!!  My dress form!
So, I've been having a little bit of fun with my new best friend, Doris, and yeah.  I discovered my Dad's shirts are a good source of long t-shirts, and I got to sleep in and drive to school.  Fab.

"Fashion starts out oh so simply.  With an idea.  There are fabrics and forms, patterns, prints, seams, and silhouettes.  But the most important tool that fashion possesses is the illusion."- Jane Quinby (Jane By Design)

January 13, 2012: Friday The 13th


Friday The 13th 

So, today was not of a very fashionable day because it being so blustery today.  A true Friday the 13th when it can even ruin fashion.  I only wore a sweatshirt thing my teacher had given me, a clock necklace from Icing, my regular jeans, and black Ugg boots.  I hate Ugg boots.  I really do, but they're comfortable and warm.  Until I find another type of boots that are comfortable and warm like Uggs, but yet fashionable, they're going on my debit card.  
Moving on though, since this is a fashion blog, I'd like everyone to recognize this fabulous show that previewed on ABC Family.  I'm trying to get all of my friends to watch, but so far, I have not had very good luck with it.    
Anyways, story plot goes as this:
Jane Quinby is a high school student.  She feels a bit out of place at school because of her creativity skills and awkwardness.  So, she applies for a job as an intern at a fashion company.  Turns out, she applies for an executive assistant, a real world job in which no one can know then that she is a high school student.   
Sure, it's not too realistic, but the fashion is amazing.  And to be in that world....oh...it makes me tingly inside.  
You can follow Jane's fashion blog on ABC Family that includes the characters', India and Gray, fashion.  
Follow and love <3
