OOTD: Salute

My friend Robby came over and we decided to do a quick shoot (I didn't even wear this today shh don't tell anyone). We took the photos by the power plant on my campus where I took my senior photos and I ended up climbing in a chute that I wasn't supposed to as you can see below. It was pretty sketchy. I've worn this outfit before but never documented it anywhere so I decided to just redo it because cute. I also can't stop incorporating the Margiela for H&M clutch into outfits so it's here as well. This outfit is called...

SALUTE

What I Wore: New Year's Eve!

I've never really dressed up for New Year's Eve before, but this year I wanted to be pretty flashy, so flashy I was! I didn't intend to go home for the New Year and was basically going to spend it all alone (how depressing) but last minute, I changed my mind and made the drive. 

I met up with some friends and we headed over to another friend's house where we played games and brought in the New Year! Happy 2013 everyone!

Styling the American Apparel Easy Jean

American Apparel has a series of high-waisted styles and one of their most popular pick is the Easy Jean. This style comes in 11 colours and is a bit pricey at $72 but it's totally worth it. They smooth out your body and lift your butt (I'm not kidding). Everything looks perfect in these jeans. Can you tell I'm in love?

So, because these are pretty popular I wanted to give some ways of how to wear them. These looks would cross-over to any gender, as I dress pretty androgynous anyways. 

THE MORE YOU TALK, THE LESS I LISTEN

H&M Opening and Margiela Collab

So I live in Austin, Texas and we recently got an H&M (November 17th)!

There are a couple in Houston and Dallas but, believe it or not, there has never been one in Austin!

I was so pumped for its opening that I got there at 10 p.m. The store didn't open until noon the next day....that was 14 hours of waiting (and 2 attempted hours of sleeping in 39 degree weather). I thought I would be fine wearing tights underneath my jeans and a fur coat but BOY WAS I WRONG. It was so cold.

Here are some photos I took from my spot in line...

As always, click on the photos to enlarge them

The first people had been waiting since 5:30 p.m.

We got a red carpet! oooh la la

My friend, Juliana, has the hologram circle bag, it's hella cute in person

wooooooo here was the line just on my side of the building (yes, it wrapped all the way around and sorry for the break in the middle my bad)

patiently waiting, survived 39 degree weather

this was to insure that I got a gift card...

Margiela for H&M window!

H&M was being generous and bussing people from the University of Texas campus to the store ALL DAY

LOOK! I got $50 to use on my purchases!

Speaking of purchases, check out what I got down below

Margiela for H&M 'Invisible Belt'

Margiela for H&M 'Candy Clutch'

Margiela for H&M 'Oversized Keychain Necklace'

Margiela for H&M 'Disco Pants' (I love these leggings so much, they complete me)

If you can't tell, I only went for the Margiela collection which was the reason why I waited outside for so long. I was terrified of things selling out but apparently nobody in Texas knows what Margiela is. Both people on the sides of me in line were confused when I mentioned the line and asked me to explain (I'm sorry what!!) I couldn't understand why people would wait at a store overnight just for the gift card. The first 500 people in line were given scratch offs that ranged from $10 - $500 and the first 100 people, which included me, were given goodie bags with things like a shirt and a toiletry bag. Thanks H&M! :*

Have you ever been to an H&M launch? What did you think about the Margiela collection?? Leave a comment below
