A Trace of Lace – Page 49 – A Trace of Lace

I’m wearing a sweater from Tin Missy with my new blanket scarf from a local boutique & my favorite Charlotte Russe boots.

Now that I’m about 80% done with finals it’s really starting to feel like Christmas, so I decide to have this outfit picture taken by some of our cute outdoor decorations (might have to do this again). Anyway, I’m wearing a new Forever 21 grey shirt & scarf with an old black skort from AE & Payless boots I haven’t worn in two years. I kind of forgot about these boots but love how they look with this outfit! Maybe I’ll stop wearing my black ankle boots with every single outfit & start to wear these more.

I’ve been turning in some final projects this week & dressing up these slim pajama pants worked perfectly for a hectic day running on little sleep. It was so nice to wake up knowing I just had to throw on these comfy guys & my favorite Francesca’s sweater (& do my hair of course). Also, this look was inspired by @mystylediaries instagram post. Totally like twins, right? 😉

To do these plaid nails, I first painted my thumbs & middle fingers dark grey. Then painted my pointer & pinky fingers light grey. Then painted my ring fingers black. Next, I used Kiss Nail Art Paint (they have thin brushes) to do a plaid design on my pointer & pinky. You can use these in any order you like but I used black, then white, then silver. Lastly, I used top coat to apply diamond shaped nail decals to the rest of my nails.

For Thanksgiving I’m wearing my Tinmissy vest (sold out) & tank (found [HERE]) with an old Aerie blouse & my favorite Charlotte Russe booties.

I decided to go for a classy but fun look for the week of Thanksgiving. For these pretty gold & nude nails, I painted my ring finger a nude color (mine was from a french tip kit) & the rest in this glittery gold. Side note, if any of you know what the name of this OPI polish is, could you let me know. There aren’t any polish names on my tiny bottles & I think I’d like to buy a regular sized bottle when this runs out.

To finish the ring finger, I used straight french tip stickers to make my glittery gold stripe & used top coat to adhere my Chanel logo decal. I got these from Shopmissa found [HERE]. If you do only use top coat like I do, I would recommend taking them off every night & before washing your hair so you don’t loose them.

To finish the rest of the nails, simply use the typical curved french tip stickers to make reversed french tips using more nude polish. Also, if you end up with edges from the manicure stickers just dip a Q-tip in nail polish remover – let it dry for just a second or two so it’s not too wet – then very gently go over the edge to soften it.

Wearing new-ish dress pants I bought last holiday season from Nordstrom. It only took me till September to get these hemmed (we’ve been having a warm fall so it took me a while to pull these back out after they where fixed). To make things worse, I just found out my amazing seamstress is moving this month. I just don’t know how I’m going to find another.
