[Fashion] What to wear to work when it attacks


What to wear to work when it attacks

I think you all know what I mean by "when IT attacks".
Yes ladies, I'm talking about when our period decides to fall upon a work day.

There are many women out there who, when on their period, struggle when deciding what to wear to work. We all want dress comfortably when it's the time of the month, well all want to just sit home, relax and wait for the pain to go away. But no, you need to get those bills and debts paid off.

These tips that I'm about to share with you, some I've personally tried out and the rest I've seen on others.

Here are my simple tips on how to dress for work during your time of the month:

What to do
- Take a pain killer
- Bring extras (pads, undies and clothes)

On to what to actually wear
Pants - Keep it loose and flowy. We don't want any pad outlines showing do we?
Stick to dark colors - Just incase something slips and you end up with a stain, it won't be that noticeable on the way to the bathroom.
(wide-leg pants, crop trousers, peg trousers, culottes)

Top - again, keep it loose and/or flowy. Go wild with the colors. 
(blouse, halter tops (don't forget a cardigan), peplum blouse, kimono top)

Dresses or Skirts - If you're the kind who enjoys wearing dresses or skirts and wouldn't mind wearing them to work when you're on the time of the month, go ahead and do so. Just make sure that your panty line or pad isn't visible to the public! 
Again, stick to dark colors
(peplum dresses/skirts, waffle dresses, skater dresses,  full skirt dresses, shift dresses)

- Shoes - Keep them comfy and as low as possible. If you're a stiletto girl, go ahead and bring out that stiletto on your second or third day, for now, stick to ballet flats or a kitten heel.
(oxfords heels/flats, ballet flats, kitten heels, 2"- 2 1/2" heels)

These are all just very basic comfortable workwear ideas. Don't forget to add your own little spice and flare to the outfit. 

If you have your own ideas on what to wear to work during the time of the month, please feel free to comment down below! ^^

[Fashion] Beach Party Look

Beach Party Look
Beach Party Look by anglelight

My idea of a beach party is beach volleyball, tanning, great music, dancing, a little bit of drinking, and swimming. I went to my first beach party a few days ago. I know, I'm 19 and I haven't even gone to a beach party, blah blah, whatever. I never really had the chance okay!

 It was 4 hours until the party, and I had no idea what to wear. I went threw my closets entire summer section and after an hour, my room was mess and I still didn't know what to wear. So I googled.

Got some ideas and began compiling my outfits up and ended up with 3 different outfits.

Here are a few things to keep in mind when going to the beach
1. There is going to be sand - and lots of it! (Flip flops or sandals)
2. It's going to be hot and the sun will probably be burning (Sunscreen & SPF)
3. You will probably get wet (Extra clothes & a towel)

When I arrived at the party, there was sand everywhere! and not just a thin layer or sand that you can easily walk in, I'm talking about sand that you literally have to hike in. I was planning on wearing my converse, but I'm so happy I stuck with sandals.

The outfit up top, is basically what I decided to wear. But I added a dress over my shorts because my shorts felt too short and I had a flowy top over that just incase it got a little windy during the night. The bikini is optional; most people wore it just for the sake of it, even if they won't get in the water.

Other accessories are optional. I brought a small purse with me since I was going to be walking around a lot more than sitting in one spot.

So that's that! Hope you all like it! Because I do.
I am totally loving my white shorts this summer!

What clothing piece are you all loving this summer?
