Before the Rain Falls

 This one I had to add because of Diesel! 
He LOVES the camera!!! 
I"m actually talking which is why I look like that! ^
 I saw a Blue Jay flying to escape the rain... ADD much? 
 Typical Rainy day outfit! 

This printed Land's End raincoat is my go to when water decides to flow from the sky! 
Lately that seems very frequent. 
And look! It has a hood! 
I've been digging caps Lately and the rest of the outfit is pretty chill! 

A special last minute surprise is coming so stay tuned!!!! =D

CONFIDENCE IS A WAY OF LIFE

 Both Neon bracelets are Mia Luna and made by me! 

I have to say for this outfit I was totally inspired by Aimee Song of Song of Style! She recently paired a patterned pant with a plain white T and I had to follow suit!
I love the feeling that inspiration gives, It's that AHA, moment when you literally grin from excitement...
Maybe that's just me! 
But the best is when someone tells you that YOU inspired THEM! 
That's one of the reasons why I started blogging,
 I wanted to show girls how to put things together and be different! 
I can't tell you how many times I've heard,   
"I love your outfit but I could never pull it off!" or "I saw something while I was shopping and thought only Piper could wear this." My response is usually YES YOU CAN!!! 

 Wear what makes you happy! Look to people who you would like to emulate their style.
 That doesn't mean go out and buy the exact outfit you see them wearing, take in the whole picture! 
What do you like about the outfit and how would you make it more you?

My biggest SECRET tip I give is probably the most important, Be Confidant! 

Confidence doesn't come from clothing or makeup.
It comes from acknowledging that you are perfectly imperfect and being at peace with yourself.  
If you don't have much confidence, Fake it till you make it! 
It will be hard at first and you might feel self conscious at times but you can power through it!


As many times as I've had people give compliments I've had the same amount of  puzzled looks and 
 "What are you wearing?"s.
 I know from personal experience that confidence isn't always easy. 
Sometimes people can say hurtful things. 
Unfortunately that means those people lack confidence themselves and instead of dishing it right back or shrinking into yourself, try to find something nice to say about them.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions but if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all! 

 “Those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind”-FDR

Sorry for my little motivational speech and randomness! 
I just have very strong feelings on this subject whether it has to do with fashion or not! 
At the end of the day Clothes are Clothes but Confidence is a way of life.

Fresh

 A Fresh outfit and a Fresh face! 

Sometimes the best things are the simple things! 
The shirt is the only vintage item today and the hat came from a little hat shop in Ohio. 
The shorts are A&E. 
My oxfords are ADORBS!!! You can find a similar pair Here By Dr.Martens check them out! 

FACE
The e.l.f. products are a STEAL!!! 
I have oily skin so my eye makeup likes to disappear on me! 
The eye primer is a dollar and great for simple everyday makeup.
While the double sided clear gel is meant for eyelashes and eyebrows I use both for my brows! 
It's also a dollar and even when I leave the house with no makeup on I use this to keep my brows in place! 
There are more expensive versions on the market but why spend money on something that works almost or just as well?
The blush is Who's your poppy by Too Faced and is my favorite blush to date! 
I highly recommend all of these products!
I prefer Dr.G (A Korean brand)BB cream to foundation but I use up what I have until it's gone! 
Unless I can't stand the product but usually I can cope, Waste not want not! 

I hope you all enjoyed this fresh little OOTD and Makeup peek!

Allergies with a side of pearls

 I apologize right now for all of the allergy face I'm giving you right now!

As you can see very plainly see from my puffy barely open eyes I'm having an allergy attack! 
Not so cute but the outfit was too cute not to document! 
The Blazer I'm wearing is actually a little boy's blazer that I bought at the thrift store! 
And If you have seen my recent outfit posts you would most definitely recognize my Polka Dot light wash Chambray button up!    
And this is seriously my all time favorite necklace! 
As for the second picture.. GO ERMERICAA!
