Altered H&M striped maxi dress, DIY bracelet, random sock garters and OTK socks, Jessica Simpson platforms, rings: Pamela Love, F21, vintage, Made Her Think, Orbit Maui Melon Mint gum
Orbit reached out to a handful of bloggers – including myself – to help reveal their new line of product packaging. I accepted the partnership because I actually DO chew their gum (sugar-free spearmint, baby), I love their ad campaigns (seriously, this is one of my favorite commercials ever) and they gave me creative license to show off the new packaging however I want.
There are like 30 new packages in crazy colors and patterns that aim to go beyond traditional “branding” and venture into accessorizing. Pretty cool. So I’ll be revealing my 5 favorite new packages in the coming weeks. Think of it as fun product placement that shouldn’t otherwise interrupt your (ir)regularly scheduled programming.
Onto the outfit - I snagged this maxi dress at H&M the other day, but standing just 5 feet tall means every maxi dress is super long (and generally unflattering) on me. So I cut it up the front for a different effect. Now my goal is to get the “train” as scuffed up and worn in as possible, which shouldn’t take long. The sock garters have been sitting in my closet for a while and I decided to pull them out as a gum-holster (gum holster, get it!?). More on my DIY bracelet soon, and the hat is Sean’s. He never wears it, so I decided to.
The photos are at F&S fabrics where I was picking up some odds & ends and my nails (trying out rounded nails) are by the amazing and hilarious David at CT Nails #9! Resident L.A. airbrush nail king.

I love that commercial as well, and I LOVE your look here.
I LOVE Orbitz gum, especially the raspberry mint. No one else makes raspberry! You’re so cute Jazzi, especially in that dress. I picked up the black one and I’m waiting to have it tailored because I’m also of the shorter kind.
Love how you slashed the dress. That pic with the dress against the fabrics is genius. My bf gets pissed when I even lay a finger on his new era caps. :)
Amazing pics and awesome dress! wow!

I wish we could buy flavours like Melon Mint here in the UK!
You look amazing!
I love those rings!
OMG! It definitely makes me want to go out an get some orbit gum.. Lol Im actually going to go get some tomorrow. And this is a great new idea, orbit came up with, how they find yall (the bloggers).
Its so cool :)
I’m way too short to wear maxis so this is a great idea. If you think about it, they’re kind of a blank canvas.

Fabulousnesssss.
I have that dress but in black, rock it girl.
A fellow orbit chewer here. I’m more of the peppermint. Traditional yeh. It is interesting what they’ve done to the packaging. That certainly is gonna grab some eyes to the candy stand. Nice blings by the way. :)
Those sock garters, I LOVE THEM!
you are crazy cool.
I really like the color of your nails!
I don’t think I realized how tiny you are until now! Love the things <3
Great use of color in these shots. Even bigger props for promoting something YOU believe in.
Congratulations on Orbit. Those packets are literally SO CUTE. I think I’d actually go and buy Orbit just for the packaging now so they’re definitely made a good move !
Omgsh though, literally everything about this outfit and setting I love. Your nails, stockings and RINGS especially. I’m after some new rings so so desperately.
lots of love x
