A Much Less Confused Outfit of the Day

Today I may or may not have woken up at 9:10 when I needed to leave at 9:30 for an appointment. So this morning was a dash to try and leave on time (no surprise, I didn't).

So yesterday I ended up in my runner up outfit from the confused closet that day before, and practically no makeup.

So my unexciting What I Wore Yesterday:

 Silly face!  How do you take these pictures seriously? Not a hypothetical question...

 iPhone whaaaaat!

My awesomely, amazing baby elephant necklace.  My mom has this one, and it just seemed so perfect for me to buy the 'baby' version

Works Cited:
Tank Top: Gap*
Shrug: Ann Taylor Outlet
Jeans: Nordys Junior Section FTW
Shoes: Victoria Secret (Colin Stuart)
Necklace: J. Crew Outlet

*This tank has TERRIBLE reviews on Gap.com.  I picked mine up in store on sale, then thought about buying more versions of it online because I loved it SO much.  Well, I'm glad I didn't, because after two washes it has shrunk significantly and developed a little hole.... bummer.

My Face:
not enough makeup worth mentioning



I gotta say, iPhone pics are not that flattering.  This outfit is super cute in real life, for realzies!

Today the weather gods have given me the gift of cooler weather, thus a cute fall-ish outfit! yessssssssssssssssss

SO come back tomorrow, I might even get the Mister to take REAL pictures of me, instead of just iPhone pics :)

Until next time...
XOXO

A Confused Outfit of the Day

or 'What I Wore Yesterday'


Despite the weather prediction being this:

That would be 84 degrees

(Hot, hot, hot - Michael Scott)





I only wanted to wear outfits like this:


or this



So after 3 outfit changes, I compromised with a 'confused' outfit and hoped the office air conditioning would keep me cool :)

Love love love this scarf 

This is my picture face

can't get enough of the elbow patches on this sweater

Works Cited:
Shorts: Store in Hawai'i
T-shirt: Old Navy
Cami (underneath everything): Target (Tar-zhay (how I just said it in my head))
Sweater: Gap
Scarf: J. Crew Outlet
Necklace: J. Crew Outlet
Sandals: MJR Sales (Victoria Secret/Colin Stuart Brand)


Trying to pretend I did not wear my sweater and scarf all day in the air-conditioned office...

Perfect-o-mundo! Thank you California weather for allowing me to wear basically whatever I want :)


I was even feeling a fall palate in my makeup today, with a dark lip and one of my favorite easy winter eyeshadow combos.  Didn't bother with my hair though (clearly).

minus glasses, plus crappy iPhone view of eye makeup

plus bad light and glasses FTW

My Face:
Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua
Chanel Loose Powder
MAC lingering eye pencil
UD primer potion in sin
Urban Decay Naked Palate (the original)
Chanel rose bronze blush
Dior highlighter
Sample of a Lancome mascara
Lancome lippie ('All Done Up' birthday gift from my brother's girlfriend!)

Until next time...
XOXO

Full Circle


Last year I tried to write about makeup, then I stopped buying makeup so I stopped posting.  Bad timing on my end, BUT it has been a year, and I have things to share, so I guess I will get sharing.  

I am struggling (and losing) with every bit of myself to NOT bust out singing Eminem, so I'll just post the video, since that isn't the same thing right?





So that is that then, I'm back :)
