ESPECIALLY foundations and other products that are meant to blend into the skin. It took me forever to make sense of it all, which is pretty important if you have a an undertone that isn't super common or catered to by the current beauty industry. Now I generally mix my own foundation and it's easy once you get the principles.So let's break it down!

I had a bunch of opinions about some of the looks from Monday's Met Gala. It's all meant in good fun, even the looks I didn't like were actually really beautiful. Each represents a ton of time and effort on the part of fabric makers, designers, sewers, hair and makeup artists, etc. This is also not meant to insult the taste of anyone wearing the clothes as often they are told what they will be will be wearing and not given a say. Anyway, it's great to be back so I hope you enjoy the video!From Rock n Roll to Sweet Lolita TRANSFORMATION | Lexi LadonnaLexi Ladonna2022-04-03 | Come with me while I transform into a sweet lolita!

This week I just wanted to have fun trying to make some outfits that blend my new clothes or accessories and my old. It's a short video but I'm planning another short one for later in the week so I thought I'd try something different. A bunch of my newer clothes (from Aggi) are at the tailor so I'm going back to some old favorites. One of my favorite things about the newer stuff is that I can make them into more "grownup" looks if I want, or I can combine it with more fun youthful looks now while I can still pull them off at 36 LOL. If you want to know where I got anything just ask, but I wanted this to be more about making outfits than the brands themselves.

For reference I mention I am a 34E, that's UK sizes and not US sizes. The US equivalent would be 34DDD or 34F. If you are someone who has problems fitting a larger bust I highly recommend the reddit r/ABraThatFits and becoming familiar with UK sizes and bra companies, as they are generally considered by most to be both more consistent and inclusive in their sizing than US companies. The reddit page has a ton of resources about not only finding your bra size yourself but also figuring out how your breast placement and shape affects how your bras fit
❤️HOW ITS BEEN GOING and am i wearing the clothes??? | Lexi Ladonna | My Fashion JourneyLexi Ladonna2021-07-08 | It's been awhile, guys!

Wait, why do I sound like a cowboy? Nevermind, to the point: These new plans are awful because Rent the Runway can't get its act together. I used this service to rent a bunch of clothes to help me learn what types of cuts and fabrics I like and it was a very stressful 4 months! I love the idea of this service, but they need to be better if they want customers to stick around

Whew! I have a lot to say about it, but when DON'T I have a lot to say about anything?
If you've been following along on my fashion journey you'll know that this isn't my first time buying an article of clothing; I've bought a couple things since the beginning of the year as they came my way. I decided to buy/keep a clothing rental item, I ordered some underthings online (which mostly didn't fit, not to my surprise), and I bought a vintage 70s piece while casually browsing some local little shops with my fiancé. But those were what i consider "purchases of opportunity" and tbh 2/3 were mistakes because I was not yet at a point where I could make sound purchasing decisions (I mean I still can't, but Im trying). All that being the case, this was my first time venturing out solo to brave the fitting rooms of big bad retail world in search of multiple pieces to try to rebuild my sparse wardrobe on a real life, actual shopping trip
On me: Eyes: Kaleidos Club Nebula palette Eyelashes: Colourpop Oh Deer! x Bambi colas lashes Cheeks: Tarte paaarty & Benefit Dallas lips: romand Glasting Water Tint in Vintage Ocean
I would also like to add that I'm aware that many people might not share my point of view on value and worth of clothing, and that's okay. I hope that no one takes from this that I think one method of buying or one type of budget is better that any other. I just know for ME this is the right path; to buy fewer items of higher quality that will last me a long period of time. Some people don't feel comfortable taking so much of a risk with one item that could be damaged and would rather buy more pieces at lower price points and that's okay too. I do hate that it seems high quality is at such steep price as I found in the last couple weeks, but even before the pandemic I had noticed a steep decline in quality from (what I had thought to be) formerly very good brands such as JCrew and other accessible stores like that from when I was a student 15 years ago to now. I spent years thinking these brands were actually of the quality they always seemed to profess and market themselves to be, only to be disappointed in both fit/design and longevity of the garments over time periods as short as a year or two. I know that to many it seems like I'm spending a lot right now because I'm pretty much starting from scratch, especially considering that many may find cheaper brands to be acceptable quality. All I can say is I do not feel the same and I find their design and fit to be poor for MY body and I am looking for something better. I will add, however, that this will not be my spending pattern in the future because I value my financial health and will not exceed the money I have budgeted and saved for clothes over the course of 2020 and 2021 and I encourage everyone to put their longterm financial health as their number one priority and budget for fun things like fashionable clothes. I'd love for this to be a discussion on how people view worth and wardrobes instead of people taking moral stances based on what they have found works for them personally.
