OOTD + Chat about Charleston

Leave a reply

Hello everyone!

I hope you guys had a great Labor Day weekend. I went to Charleston, South Carolina for the weekend and it was amazing. Have any of you guys been there? It’s a really cute beach town in the south. My friend and I visited the Boone Plantation, where part of The Notebook was filmed and where Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds had their wedding. It’s so beautiful. Lots of history!

It was a hot and humid day, so I wore a light dress. It was a maxi dress, it was sheer with a short slip underneath. I purchased it from the Abercrombie and Fitch outlets from the clearance section for $25. Such a great deal!

The entire plantation was littered with Spanish moss and I became obsessed. It’s so gorgeous!

This is the main house, so pretty! Recognize it from The Notebook?

Not only did we tour the plantation, we went to a couple delicious restaurants. My favorite one was Magnolia’s. Check out that Charleston Crab Cake dish below. It was delicious, the okra was so tasty too! It is a little pricey, but worth it!

Another place we went to twice, was Page’s Okra Grill. I got the flounder entree and the second time I got their signature fried chicken. It was absolutely delicious! I’m definitely going back next time! The prices were decent and you get a lot of food, enough for leftovers!

We also explored the downtown area, which was beautiful! Check out my instagram for some neighborhood pics! I wore another Abercrombie and Fitch Outlet clearance dress for this outing as well. What can I say, I have a type of dress? It is a beautiful off white see-through maxi dress, with slits on the side and a slip underneath. I felt like a fancy beach gal.

That’s about it for my fun filled holiday weekend! Just looking at those food pictures is making me hungry! Thanks for reading!

Loft Haul (Video) | AmandaSushma

Leave a reply

Hello everyone!

Sorry for taking a little sabbatical from the blog! But now I’m back and ready to share some fun outfits, makeup, and other awesome things with you guys!

I made a Loft Haul video so you guys can see all the items I received. I really like Loft because it’s one of the first “adult” stores that caters to my size. I’m petite, so it’s hard to find affordable work pants and tops that fit correctly, but Loft has it. I also like that it carries sizes for plus sizes and taller women, so everyone should be able to find cute things from them.

Thanks for watching! Let me know which items you liked!

Romwe Haul (Video)

Leave a reply

Hello everyone,

Spring is here and we’re almost into summer! I wanted some new clothes for the season, while also not spending too much. That’s why I decided to check out Romwe. Romwe is one of those sites you see advertised all the time on Facebook and Instagram. I figured I’d check it out because they usually have a picture of something really cute, with $11 next to it.

So, I ended up purchasing some items for the website. I bought mostly clothes, which I do try on in the video, and some random accessories as well.

Check out my video below and let me know what you think!

Fun Purple Night Out Look

Leave a reply

Hello everyone!

I have a fun glittery and purple look for you guys today! I felt a little burned out from work yesterday, and then I looked at my makeup and felt really creative. Creating new looks really helps lessen my stress and I love doing it!

So without further ado, here’s the look. It’s pretty simple actually. I used three different shades of purple eyeshadows, a gold liner, and a white pencil liner.

I used two palette’s, the Makeup Revolution palette and the Sweet Peach palette from Too-Face.

First, from the Makeup Revolution palette, I used the lightest shade of purple on my inner corners. Then, I took the purple shade next to it and swept it across the rest of my lids.

 

For the outer corners, I took a little of the dark purple from the Sweet Peach palette, and carefully blended that out.


I created a simple wing with my gold glitter eyeliner for NYX. Then, I finished the look off with lining my water liner with white pencil liner from NYX.


I hope you guys enjoyed this look! Thanks for reading!

Hello everyone! 

I hope you’re all having a wonderful Labor Day weekend! I’ve been going to different parks and walking a variety of trails…in white pants…

I wanted to share my Labor Day outfit with you guys! I purchased the top and bottom from my local Versona, for less than $26! They were both in the sale section! I love finding inexpensive, cute pieces.

I purchased white stretchy pants and a navy tank. I paired the outfit with two different shoes, heels and flats! I hope you guys enjoy!

July 4th OOTD

Hello everyone!

I hope you guys are having a great 4th! I wanted to share what I wore. Also, I love seeing everyone wearing basically the same colors, it’s like we’re all in “uniform”.


I’m wearing a red tank top and dark denim vest from Forever 21. I decided to wear black leggings because it was going to rain, and some navy vans. I went with pearls for my white.

That’s about it! Hope you guys enjoyed and had a great 4th of July!

Fun and Summery OOTD

Hello everyone!

I’ve been posting a lot of ootd’s, but I love doing them! Today’s look is a fun and summery look. Follow me on instagram @amandasushma to see more looks!

I wore a white dress with black stripes that was from the brand Mudd, which I purchased in the clearance section of Kohl’s for about $7. Yes, your heard that correctly. Check your clearance section people!

I paired it with an olive button-up from American Eagle. I like tying it up to add a little something to the outfit. I also like wearing it open sometimes, for a more casual look. I finished the look off with American Eagle (not the clothing store) shoes from Payless.

Hope you guys liked it!

Hello everyone!

I hope you’re all having a great day! I wanted to share one of my favorite casual, yet dressy summer looks with you guys! Also, follow me on instagram @amandasushma to see more outfits and makeup looks!

I LOVE my off white crochet skirt from Charlotte Russe. I actually found it in the clearance section for about $7, which is a steal. It’s so cute! I love pairing it with my denim shirt from Hollister.

The shirt is super old and has been washed so much, it has that denim to bleach effect. I personally like that look because it just looks super chill.

I love pairing this dressy skirt, with my casual top. I paired it with a white tank top and black sandals. Hope you guys like it!

Surprise Place for Petite Women’s Pants

3 Replies

Hello everyone!

This post is for my petite girls, all my short ladies. I have had so much trouble trying to find dress pants that fit. All the stores I tried either didn’t have my size, the pants were too long, or just too big in general. I really don’t want to pay for a tailor right now, so that’s not an option. What’s a girl to do?

And yes, I did try the petite sections in different stores. A lot of them didn’t fit right or they were just too expensive…$75 for pants, I don’t think so.

My mom went out with me and dragged me into the LITTLE GIRLS section of Kohl’s. Yes, the little girls section friends. And guess what? I FOUND PANTS.

Now, it’s not what I thought my future would look like, but I had a lot more options in the kids section, rather than juniors or regular adults. The juniors section didn’t have many options. It had only boot cut pants. To be honest, I don’t like the boot cut style for dress pants, so I avoided those.

I purchased these pants for $27 and they’re from the brand Chaps. For a size comparison, I’m usually a U.S 0/1, which is like 24/25 inches. In the kid size, I’m a size 12. They actually had quite a few options and didn’t look like kids pants.

I just wanted to share this tidbit of information for any of my fellow petite people struggling to find pants that fit right. Hope I helped! And remember, as long as no one knows that it’s kids pants, is it really kids pants?
