Tuesday

Brown merino bracelet sleeve v-neck from Gap, coral and brown and ivory tweed trousers from Ann Taylor, brown peep toe pumps with wood heels from Maripe, thin gold hoops from Diva.

These are my last 14 pants, and I realize that when I bend over or squat I look as though I am wearing a diaper in the front. Other than that, I think they still look okay, not as form-fitting but appropriate. when I started considering selling my too-big clothes I realized many have things like busted pant linings and stains and hems held up with Stitch Witchery. Like these pants… they are in excellent condition and really great quality and only a year or two old but they have an unfortunate stain from an unfortunate day that only women have…. yeah not really the selling or even donating type…. I am embarrassed enough when I take them to the cleaners. If I was more crafty I think I would make them into a bag or a pillow or something. For now, I will wear them until I look as though I am wearing a diaper when NOT bending over.

Okay, on to hair. Today it was looking a bit greasy because last night after dinner my hubby and I were watching crappy TV (can we say I Love New York??) and he gave me a scalp massage and it was lovely but it left my hair a bit on the oily side. I took a bit of baby powder and rubbed it at the scalp, then brushed my hair with a wood-tooth padded brush. I then took my curling iron and used it like a straightening iron to smooth out my bangs and any places that had bedhead. I then used some Sebastian Shaper Spray for some body. I am looking forward to washing my hair!

As for makeup, L'Oreal true Match foundation in C3, some Body Shop bronzing powder in Light on face and neck for color, a bit of Smashbox Soft Lights in Tint on the apples of the cheeks, eyes is the Revlon ColorStay shadow quad in neutral – ivory in corners and along brow bone, khaki on lid and chocolate in crease and along lash lines. Lashes curled and DiorShow Unlimited mascara in black applied. On lips is Revlon ColorGlide in Rum Radiance.
