Random Wednesday #28 - Distracted

GET THE LOOK HERE:

Dress: Forever 21 (exact) // Belt: (option) // Shoes: Payless (option) // Clutch: Target (option) // Necklace: Forever 21 (option) | Bracelets: Stella & Dot and Gallery Boutique

I feel like I should be singing the lyrics to Eminem's "Lose Yourself". You know, "His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy." Well, in fact, I am singing it right now in my head as I am typing. Talk about distracting.

That is how I am feeling right about now, completely and utterly distracted. If you are wondering why. Two words. Wallis contest. Thanks again to everyone who voted and showed an immense amount of love over the past two weeks. As I have mentioned before, I am just flattered to have even been in the running with so many talented bloggers. I will keep you all posted.

So, I am keeping it short today. Short as in this short little stripe dress that makes me all kinds of happy. The quality is one of the best I have purchased from Forever 21. I will say, that as much as I love it, I do not love that it wrinkles easily. So, if you are thinking of purchasing be aware that it will need to go to the cleaners for a press.

Really y'all, I am sorry for not being more entertaining today. It's Random Wednesday for goodness sake. I am supposed to "bring it" on Wednesdays. Well, I guess we all have our off days.

So, as I sit here waiting with sweaty palms, butterflies and a borderline anxiety attack, I will leave you with someone who is pretty darn entertaining, hilarious, genuine and a girl that can look killer in any situation. If you haven't met Bonnie yet, just sit back and get ready to fall in love.

Thank you for helping me out today, Bonnie Boo-Bon! You are a lifesaver. The floor, or I guess the blog is all yours...take it away.

Why hello there.

The name is Bonnie Blackburn Larsen and writing nonsense is my game.  Sometimes I get in trouble for what I write, but that's just the way the cookie crumbles.  The husband's name is Greg and I've been told I would be a fool for letting the internet Gods know my husband's name because now they can steal our identities and invade our home, GASP!  Therefore, to protect us from cyber devils and because it seems somehow hip I have named him Hubs.  I pride myself on originality.

Don't be fooled by this picture.  I've looked this good exactly once in my life.

If you are still interested in me, (oh this sounds so romantic!) you have a couple of options from here.

Option #1: I've noticed Shanna is quite the fashion blogger. She finds deals and looks super styling without sweating a drop.  The girl's even running for Wallis fashion ambassador!  An ambassador for fashion?  Sounds pretty freaking legit.  Well, heck, I can be a fashion blogger too!  Keep reading where I will show you how to look hot in any situation.  Trust me, you're going to want to read up.

Option #2: Visit my blog where you may read all my rambling to your heart's content.  You might wanna check out my Best of Bon page where you can find my favorite posts. 

Option #3:  Both of the above.

(Pick #3!  Pick #3)

Let's dive right in, shall we?

HOW TO LOOK HOT NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE DOING

BY BONNIE BLACKBURN LARSEN

In the above picture I am playing tennis with Hubs.  My outfit is very stylin as you can tell.  I've been reading lots of Shanna's blog and have picked up on some tips!

The truth is I feel bad for anybody who doesn't look one hundred percent rocking 24/7.  I have the whole fashion thing down pat so I figured it's time to share my knowledge with the blogging world.  You all are clearly in need of an expert.  Shanna, watch out, I'm taking over your reign as cutest fashion blogger ever!

 To copy my above outfit you will need the following:

1.  A pair of ambiguous pants.  Are they long pants?  No... not quite.  Shorts?  No, not that either.  Capris?  Too baggy for that.  WHAT IN SAM'S HILL ARE THEY?  Guess we'll never know which makes them that much cuter!  Remember, the more confused people are by your look, the cuter it is!

(Answer:  They are Hubs' shorts.  And if you think it's pretty messed up that I have the same size of waist as Hubs, you are not alone.)

2. A big, brown, bulky belt.  None of these cute, skinny belts.  No cool colors like blue or orange- you will need just a big brown clunker.  This makes your waist look bigger than normal, which as we all know, is the perfect complement to any look.

3.  A shirt that is too tight for you.  Although you can't see it in this picture, a tight grey T-shirt is the best thing to wear when participating in any physical activity.  It allows for maximum under arm sweat stains that everyone can see when you raise your arms.  Tacos=the new trend in fashion.  Try to keep up, will you?

4.  Neon shoelaces.  The whole outfit should be a very blah, somber color EXCEPT the shoelaces.  Look for a gray or black outfit and then add a bit of neon to really confuse everybody who looks at you.  In my case, I chose neon pink.  Neon green and neon blue are also great.  If you're really daring you can try polka dotted or striped shoelaces to really set you apart from the crowd.

5.  Don't forget the hair barrette clipped to your pocket and the alien looking sunglasses.  These accessories really complete the outfit.  Remember the #1 rule of fashion: confusion=cuteness.

There you have it, folks!  How to look like a million bucks no matter what you are up to.  I'm full of stylish advice and wisdom so make sure to visit my blog often to see all my super cute looks!  Next week I might even show you the sweats, flip flops, and bandana that I wear when I wash my car.   Spicy!

Isn't she the best? Girl needs to take her show on the road! Hope you laughed as much as I did. Man, I needed that little pick me up! Make sure you go visit The Life of Bon for a daily dose of fun and giggles...and even a few serious moments too!
