I've been pretty sleep-deprived the last couple of nights, and didn't have time to shower again. Ugh! Fortunately, I have a Bumble and Bumble spray hair tonic which helps tame the frizz. But I got to the office intending to do my semi-stealthy cosmetics application. But I just didn't have the energy:
Yep, me in all my bare-faced glory. Not a common sight-- I'm a "full warpaint" kind of girl.
I was really excited about my outfit for today's post... I'm styling the necklace Freeda just gave me in a way I've never tried. She suggested that I wear it over a button-down shirt, as she often sees in another blog (I guess I haven't seen that one yet). I was actually pretty happy with it, despite my lack of effort in the primping category today.
For once, I actually wore the flimsy belt that actually came with the shirt, because the red would have been "too much" with the huge necklace. My other slim black belt had a modern-looking silver-toned buckle. Not good.
I really want to get some earring that go better with this necklace. Nothing I already have seems quite right. But here's the best I could do today:
Black flats because this pair of pants is particularly short on me. If I ever get to shop for pants again, I'm NOT falling for buying "average" length again, trying to fave the ten bucks for tailoring. I will just suck it up, buy tall, and actually get them taken up to the correct length for me.
I'm pretty wiped, so 'nighty-nite, kiddos!

Hey, I go barefaced every day. You look lovely regardless. And I think the earrings look nice.
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel any better, I'm 5'5" and have at least a couple pairs of pants that are just a wee bit too short for me. I end up wearing flats and tugging at them all day. It's worth the trouble to get longer ones and have them taken up.
you look lovely and i like the necklace! very elegant <3

You do look pretty even without the makeup.
ReplyDeleteI like the necklace and love it styled over the shirt.
Love the shirt, and I go sans makeup 90% of the time to work. You really dont need it!

kudos for no makeup! wish i looked like that with no makeup on. i have to wear at least concealer or i get health questions all day.
ReplyDeletePersonally (and I get to say this since I'm your sister) I think you wear too much makeup on a daily basis. You have good skin. You could get away with mascara, lip gloss, and some tinted moisturizer instead of the full warpaint.
ReplyDeleteAnd the blog I was talking about was clothedmuch. :) Elaine loves button ups with big necklaces over.
i love the formal look with the fun printed skirt!

ReplyDeleteYou look fab without makeup. I know what you mean though. I have to have makeup on to feel my best. This town, if you wear makeup they look at you like who do you think you are. I was raised I guess to always have lipstick so tooooo bad lol I have to have my face on! but I wear far far less than before and find as I age the heavier makeup looks bad anyway so a softer look is working for me....

Awesome post!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday & Many Kisses,

nice shirt and it matches perfectly with your earrings!
ReplyDeletegreat outfit! i think it's refreshing to have make-up free days.
ReplyDeleteYou have great, clear skin! I don't have a backup makeup kit at work so if I sleep in I'm screwed!
ReplyDeletethis is a really pretty necklace...i've been wanting one for a while. i finally got some for the store, so i may have to steal one!
ReplyDeletei'd totally do it over a button up just like this...i think it looks great. over a plain tee + blazer or over a scoop neck sweater would be my other options!
hope your husband is ok??
