Staying In Style At Camp


Hey Guys! So I know that I have been mentioning my camp job a lot and I just decided to make a whole post about it here and like the fashion aspect of camp. Let me just start out by saying that I know all camps are different and some make you wear a uniform and some do not. Obviously, if you do not have to wear a camp shirt every day...there is more room to be stylish. Personally, my camp has us in a blue shirt every single day except on fridays when we wear white. The color of my shirt is kinda weird to accesorize with so I generally just stick to a head band or a green or white bow. I think that adding a hair accesory is a great way to express your style at camp. When you work  at camp...you want to have things that are replaceable. You  can always get a new hair ribbon or new hair band for a very low price. Therefore, no biggie if it gets lost. It also is a convient way to be cute and get your hair out of your face (and when you are out in the hot sun all day...you want you hair out of your face).
As far as makeup is concerned...I usually stick to anything watter proof. At camp, you get wet and dirty so it is pointless to waste your nice makeup on camp. I like to wear a bit of concealer to get rid of my under eye circles as well as a bit of watter proof eyeliner on my watter line, watter proof mascara and eye brow pencil. Another good touch as a watter proof cream eyeshadow. If you are going to use this, I reccomend Maybelline's color tattoo's. They really do stay on through eveything and just give a pop of color so you feel like you are putting some effort into your appearance (after all...you never know when a hot guy is going to be hired right?).
Hair styling is always a challenge at camp. The breeze is blowing...the watter is spraying, the humidity is high and everyone is getting their sweat on. I like to wear my hair in french braids especially if it is second day hair. This keeps it back but still looks cute. In additon, I like to just put mouse in it and let it go down or in a pony. Then I always know where it is and what its looking like. I think that it is pointless to try to curl or straighten it for camp...it will just get ruined. Besides, no one does that and you will just look like a supper princess if you do.
Like I said before, I do not get a  choice in shirts for camp but I do get to pick my shorts. I know that most people do not like to wear jean shorts to camp but I do. I feel like they are just more conveinent because they have pockets. I am the dance specilist so I always need my phone on me to run music so pockets are a must. In addition, it gives me a place to put all of the unfinished lanyard deposited into my hand to be given back on the bus on the way home.
As far as shoes are concerned, I just like to have a decent pair of sneakers. I do not wear my hard core running shoes because I do not want to get them filthy. Howeve, I do wear a good pair of sneakers that will serve any purpose during the day.

I hope that this post helped you get some ideas about camp fashion. I just want to quickly say that this is just what I do and eveyone is different but this is what I find that works to keep my instyle at camp. Let me know what keeps you instyle at camp or if you try anything out that I talked about...comment below and tell me how it worked out.

Project Runway 10-15-15 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers gave members of the Project Runway crew a makeover. Hey guys! Welcome to this week's Project Runway Recap Review! We are getting closer and closer to fashion week each episode and the competition is getting tight. At this point, any of the designers could go home. Last week was packed with drama...but...its a new week, and a fresh slate, so lets get started. Challenge: The five remaining designers will make an outfit inspired by the New York City bridges (Queensborough, Brooklyn, Manhattan). The designers were assigned a bridge from the black bag of doom. Each designer created a textile with a 3-D printer that they had to incorporate into their garment. This is an Avant Garde challenge. Thoughts In The Workroom:  I'm not so sure what I think about 3-D printers...comment down below and let me know what you think about them (in general, not just in fashion). Candice made a good choice not using black again this week. Designers wh...

Project Runway 10-26-15 Final Part 1 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers created a Red Carpet look. Thoughts in the Workroom: I knew Edmond would get the save!! Edmond really did deserve it. Not coming in prepaired must put on so much pressure. Candice's red and white pants are SO cute! Wait, Ashley what is that stain remover stuff? I need that. Challenge: The designers will show the judges three looks from their collection for feedback. One of those looks would be created from scratch, in the workroom . Guest Judge: No one this week. Home Visits From Tim : Ashley: Tim visited Ashley's hometown where she revealed her Mexican heritage. Ashley is creating a plus sized collection. I think that it is awesome that she is going for it. There is such a need for quality, fashionable, plus-sized clothing. Ashley's mother supported her vision stating the importance of Ashley's vision. Tim praised Ashley for her innovation with her floral headpieces, however, he warned her that the judges may cal...

Project Runway 10-22-15 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers created a look inspired by the bridges of New York incorporating 3-D printed detailing. Challenge: The designers were flown to LA where the city served as their inspiration for a red carpet look. Thoughts In The Workroom: L.A has a Mood puppy! So cute. Ashley's fabric is very pretty. Edmond's fabric is gorgeous as well. Edmond No! Don't shorten! I hope Kelly's pants fit... Guest Judge: Christian Siriano Ashely: Boobs! Ashley picked a beautiful gold sequin fabric. However, the dress was not my favorite this week. Ashley's dress was floor length with a-symmetrical sleeves. On one arm, she had a long sleeve. The other arm, she had a spaghetti strap. The chest had a huge cut out between the sleeves that plunged down to her waist. The neckline was not flattering in my opinion. The judges were split on this look. Some of them thought that fabric was dated while others liked it. Heidi actually liked the very open c...
