Look for me at LizzyRae.com.
If you didn't know, one of my main purposes for blogging so much and about things that are pretty shallow, is that it is a way to practice my writing without having to constantly think about the content. It's a way to just clear the writer's block that kept me from writing for so long by just blurting out exactly what I am thinking at the time.

With my new job, and everyone around me focusing so much on their blogs, it is research/fun for me to continue upgrading my blog in little ways. Today's way is by adding the domain name lizzyrae.com! I have moved my blog to be hosted through wordpress but you can always find it at lizzyrae.com.


Thanks for reading. If there is anyone reading. Talk to you tomorrow.

I am a blueberry. I constantly make fun of my dad for constantly "matching" with wearing red and red or blue and blue, but today I am guilty. I look like a blueberry. As my dad has slowly learned, the same is NOT matching, its ugly.

Blue jeans aren't necessarily always blue but today they feel especially blue to match my blue shirt. I love the shirt, I think it fits well and is so comfy to wear in a casual or dressy situation but how do I wear it other than with jeans? Ideas?

Emily and I have concluded that there should be an optional make-up booth at work for halfway through the day after we have spent all day touching our faces and messing up our hair. High maintenance, yes. Necessary, perhaps.

PICS to share.



Enough said.

Tomorrow is the company party. What to wear?

Today seems to be going a little better for me than yesterday. I actually CHOSE to snooze my alarm this morning instead of it snoozing me. My roommate had just done laundry (mom) so I had a lot of clothing options to choose from, although I am starting to get nervous that I might forget what I have already warn and wear it again on accident. I think I might have to start printing out my outfit pictures so that I can flip through them to make sure I'm not wearing a repeat.

Just a thought.

I was wondering in the Subway line today, whether or not my outfit looked hipster. Am I still preppy? What is my style? What do I want my style to be? I know that I only wear jeans, I tend to wear darker colors, and that I have a large collection of v-necks. I think that all adds up to exactly nothing. Is my answer to "What is my style?", that I have no style?

Oh, the break through.

Today, however gloomy this revelation, I am pretty happy with what I am wearing. I bought this blouse-y t-shirt quite a while ago that ties in the back, and I am always uncomfortable to wear it in a professional setting. I found a solution to this today... the gray vest that I haven't worn in a while! It covers the back and adds a little texture to the outfit! I also am wearing yellow shoes for fun :)

Disclaimer: please pay no attention to my hair. I need a whole separate challenge for that!

I love wearing black on black, I am not a gloomy person though. Weird. I love the yellow. Glad I could wear the shirt without feeling exposed. (awkward)

I am not skipping outfits, or days, but I just don't tend to post on weekends unless I share a good find like yesterday.

So this morning was just one of those mornings... One of my roommates (my dad) knocked on my door at 7 AM and asked what time I was choosing to wake up that day. I rolled over and told him that my alarm was set for 5:30 AM. I was planning on waking up early, I had packed my lunch the night before to be extra prepared and able to get out the door fast.

Its always worse when you prepare for an early morning and then mess up while setting your alarm that if you just make the choice to hit the snooze a million times and are late.

So groggy ol' frustrated me stood at my closet for a good 10-15 minutes doing absolutely nothing. Staring, perhaps sleeping while standing up. Trying so hard to pick out an outfit to go with my new gojane.com shoes. I settled on a below average outfit that combined a vneck boyfriend tee with a spaghetti strap sweater vest thing. Below average work by me.

In the midst of my scattered morning I forgot my phone charger at home and for that reason my phone (my outfit cam) is dead. My boyfriend is probably thinking "I told you so. You should always charge your phone overnight instead of your method of waiting to charge it when it is about to die!" Well I am ignoring his thoughts and going with thoughts of my own... "Good thing it was a day when I am wearing a lame outfit." Can I get an Amen?

Great Find: GoJane.com

A great find while reading my sister's People Style Watch magazine, GoJane.com. This website was featured in the "Get This Look" area, where they show cheap alternatives for designer clothing. Awesome. I am always looking for a good deal. I remembered that my sister had bought cute flats from this website before, so I looked it up.

Just like any store, there were styles that I loved and styles that I hated. There were some shoes that would make my feet look pettite and some that made mine look so gigantic. I knew going into it that I wanted some suede flats. I have leather, I have brown, I have black. I wanted some that were gray and some that were a different type of color. The colorful flats to add some color to my usual dark outfits when I can't find color to wear in my outfits. It was also important that they were CHEAP. Not just because I hate spending money but because I am so hard on my shoes that I have to buy new pairs all the time, whether they are good quality or not. Helps me sleep at night.

I looked around and found two pairs of flats that I love. For a total of $30 (including tax and shipping) I ordered them and received them yesterday. Love them. What do you think?
