What I Wore - Plus the bottom of my bookshelf



I've decided to jump on the "what I wore" bandwagon (yes, I'm always late to the party haha). I don't know how frequently I'll post in this category as I don't leave the house much (I work from home!). But, I figured since leaving the house is usually the only time I put any thought into what I'm wearing (and I actually get out of my onesies), it's something to document!

This picture was taken in the Fall.

Here's what I'm wearing:
Sweater dress from repurposefulPUNK
Tights (had them so long I can't remember where they came from)
Skeleton shoes (my wedding shoes!) from BuyCostumes.com
Spider web necklace (my wedding necklace!) from beat black

My Wedding Skin Care Routine


I have had SO many requests wanting to know what "Batty did to get ready for her big day"! One of the questions I've been getting the most is my skin care routine. Although I didn't change it up TOO much from my normal routine, I did increase the amount of clay masks and quick stick applications I did. Below is a breakdown of my routine 10 days before the wedding! I want to stress that the routine I decided to do was with MY skin in mind. I wouldn't suggest it for everyone as we all have skin that is at different stages, has different "problem areas", etc. I'm open to putting together a personalized routine for any brides (or anyone else!) out there who would like one! Contact me for more details (jamiesabot AT gmail DOT com). Now on with the "Batty as a Bride" routine! ;)


Here's the products I used:
