As many of you will know, I have been living in England for the past 7-ish months. I have been here since September and I often find it difficult to integrate my over-excited and animated American personality with the muted demeanor of the Brits. When I am feeling especially out of place, I head to the American Diner in my town's seafront and truly feel at home in this overly stereotypically, but admittedly accurate, American diner. In an effort to update and elevate my wardrobe, I recently purchased this gingham, bell-sleeve shirt from a little shop in the lanes of Brighton. I absolutely love it and I think it can elevate a simple pair of jeans and add a dynamic to any outfit. Black and white allows this shirt to be worn in so many ways and I am confident that you could rock it with a skirt just as well as some well-loved denim. I paired this top with my dark wash Calvin Klein jeans. I almost always peg the ends of my jeans to taper them in, a trick taught to me by my parentals. According to them this was all the range in the 80's, and I guess I have pretty much fully adopted it now. On my feet I have got my favorite pair of high-top converse. These are special because I purchased them in the Converse store in San Fransisco on a road trip with my siblings before I moved to the UK. They are custom and I chose a diamond print with the moniker "Queen T" printed underneath. I chose a navy-toned Gray and I love these because they go with so much and were definitely worth the money to have an entirely unique and custom pair of kicks! On my lips, I have my all time favorite Matte Red. It is Russian Red from Mac Cosmetics and it is my go-to for this classic lip hue! I felt like this diner deserved a red lip and I love bold lipsticks because they are fun and unique and add color into any outfit! Tay's Tip: If you have a singing commitment, wear a bold lip because then people will be able to see your mouth moving! If you guys would be interested in a lipstick collection post, let me know and I would love to do it! Comment on any of my latest Instagram (taybeth1) posts to let me know and I will make it happen! A bonus picture of me eating my ALL TIME favorite food, French fries, and thinking how much validity the phrase "Fries Before Guys" really has in my life! In case anyone was wondering, I am looking so longingly at the Mint Chip Milkshake and truly feeling in love! What can I say, as a single gal I find love in good food!
I hope you guys like this quick outfit post and are digging the retro-realness of this patriotic place as much as I do! As much as I love this little escape to add a little more yankee into my life, I will be glad to be back in the land of the free in a couple of months! Until next time! Truly, Taylor
