New Hair, New Me OOTD Bloopers

Hello everyone and welcome to the Blooper Reel from my New Hair, New Me OOTD! I have been having so much fun with my brand new hair and it has been the biggest confidence boost. This new look is giving David Bowie, Joan Jett, and all things retro and cool and my stylist, Anna, created exactly what I was picturing in my head. Not only is Anna a genius but I think she might be a mind reader too because it is a spot on replica! My new do definitely has me feeling my damn self but these yikes shots are so not matching the vibe lol take a look:

I AM SO BEAUTIFUL

The hair is David Bowie but the pic is just Dave at best

Lol look how edgy I am

Pop, lock, and drop it

A sultry little something just for you

Bye byeeeeeeee see you at the next Blooper Reel!

It’s hard not to notice the massive crack in the wall in these pics and all I have to say is thank god for clean up on the iPhone! I fix it up for actual OOTD shots and couldn’t care less for the Blooper Reel. It’s not exactly prime real estate but, in my defense, there is literally nowhere else to go in our apartment community. Renovations have been underway for what has felt like forever and it is really killing my OOTD flow. My old spot for pics is a cluttered mess and the worst of all is that all of the greenery surrounding our building has been uprooted. I am not exaggerating when I say that it looks like a wasteland and it is SHAMEFUL.

Although the renovations have proven to be a massive pain in my nads, there has been some good that has come out of them. Primarily in the critter department! Guys, I kid you not that there was like a million raccoons in the walls before whatever entry points were sealed off. That was an exaggeration but there was a lot of raccoon activity and it was so crazy to hear lol. The scratching, chittering, and fighting would go on all hours of the day and it was never not startling. There was one time when I was sitting in my favorite chair and raccoons were going at it in the ceiling directly overhead. I was genuinely terrified that they would fall through and land on my lap! So in conclusion, there is nothing pretty around my apartment anymore but at least we are racoon free lol. -_-

Here’s to my apartment building eventually looking better because I am SO sick of editing out the wall crack!!

What was your first house or apartment like? Have you ever experienced a pest problem? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

New Hair, New Me OOTD

New Hair, New Me OOTD

Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new OOTD here on lifewithlilred! The look you are about to see was from after I got my hair refreshed for fall and upon my return home there are two things that occur that are as certain as the sun rising in the east. 1) Johnny will, without fail, say “Who are you and what have you done to my wife?” (So Middle Class Fancy!) and 2) We take OOTD pics, of course! I have to get shots of my hair as soon as it is done because I am never able to recreate how my hair stylist, Anna, styles it. Who can relate?! As always, Anna created hair magic and I am never going to be over how this particular look turned out. Let’s go:

Who? What? Wear?

Tank Top: Rachel Zoe, TJMaxx

Bodycon Skirt: Altar’d State

Lace Up Wedges: Juicy Couture, Kohl’s

Lightening Bolt Earrings: EmLeigh & Mama B’s

As I made my way home from the Shear Shop, I was styling an outfit in my head and decided that I wanted a minimal color palette to let my hair do all of the talking. It is giving so much David Bowie that it would transform basic staples into something special. When I got home, I made a beeline to my skirts because I had just the one in mind: A super cute bodycon number from Altar’d State. Although that store has too much Jesus for my liking, I do love this skirt and the bold floral pattern. It fits like a glove and has so much personality!

Originally, I envisioned wearing the Altar’d State skirt with a black snakeskin patterned kerchief top. Sometimes, however, my visions don’t come to fruition. When I tried the top on with the skirt it was just too much. The patterns and fabric clashed and it looked chaotic instead of cool. So, I changed direction and went for a simple black tank by Rachel Zoe instead. That was much more like it! Having the plain tank on top allowed my hair to take center stage and provided the cohesion that my first choice was desperately lacking.

Finally, it was onto shoes and accessories. To maintain my minimal palette, I opted for a charming pair of lace up wedge heels by Juicy Couture. These shoes are old as dirt and slightly falling apart but I refuse to part with them lol. They’re just adorable and the perfect mix of sweet and sassy! Very much like the bodycon skirt. In the accessories department I went for a pair of huge, glittery pink lightening bolt stud earrings as a nod to David Bowie. With that, I was ready to sing the Magic Dance from Labyrinth and create some content!

Stick around for the Blooper Reel from this OOTD as well as the look that I didn’t wear to the Billy Idol concert because we didn’t go lol. Once again, SMH!

Who is your celebrity style icon? What is your favorite era of David Bowie? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
