Tuesday

This time of year, the sun hitsvery brightly in my spare room, making it hard to capture a full-length picture. This is the best I could get out of five tries.

Black cashmere crewneck sweater from Isaac Mizrahi for Target, gap ribbed tank in black underneath for opacity. Dark denim skirt from Gap – now too big with all this weight loss. Keeps spinning around. Under it are black footless tights from Old Navy. Black round-toe high heel pumps from Jessica Simpson. Silver chain from Ren Fest, silver pocket-watch necklace from Ann Taylor Loft. Large silver hoops and silver cuff bracelet.

Hair was washed and conditioned, then dried while brushing. Well, 80% dry. Then I ran to yoga, put half in an elastic to keep it out of my eyes and it dried the rest of the way while doing sun salutations. Came home, took the round brush and dryer to the bangs and left the rest alone, except for a small bit of Jonathan Dirt to make the smoothed part look a bit like the rough part in back.

Makeup is L'Oreal True Match foundation and concealer, bit of Physician's Formula bronzer in light, Nars orgasm blush, Sally Hansen Diamond Lipgloss in Champagne Toast, Revlon ColorStay shadow quad in neutral – ivory on inner corners and brow bone, khaki on lids, chocolate in crease and along lash line, L'Oreal Voluminous mascara in black.
