Welcome to my personal style blog. My hope is that what you see from my closet inspires you to dig through yours to find new life in what you have and how you wear it. Of course what you have on doesn't define who you are, but it can make you feel better and sometimes all we need in order to do better, is to feel better. Friends often tease me by saying that I dress as if every day is a special occasion. To which I reply..."because it is".

Red Bottoms and Garlic Bread
1. I did not intentionally match my necklace to my purse to go to work, but ya know... I don't hate it.
2. Do you ever wonder what you would ask for if you had a Personal Maintenance Genie appear to grant you just one wish? I specify "personal maintenance" because I'd sound like a real asshole if I got one wish and didn't use it for the greater good (ie: ending world hunger, curing disease, etc.). But... this is not that kind of Genie. This is one that only grants selfish wishes centered around aesthetics and grooming. I would ask for perfectly blown out, voluminous hair that never needed to be done by my own two hands. Ever. I am working with day 2 hair here and I had to constantly fluff it to prevent it from looking like a limp noodle. I don't mind shaving, putting on makeup, plucking my brows, putting together outfits, etc. BUT... I despise... loathe... CANNOT stand doing my hair. I do it once... maaaaaybe twice a week and even that throws me into a tailspin of anger and resentment. I often think... what would I do with all this time back?!?!? Washing, conditioning, blow drying, straightening, etc. The shit is exhausting.
What would your wish be?
3. From a distance, these shoes look a little like Christian Louboutin, red bottoms. I assure you, they are not. They are $40 shoes that I ordered online 3 years ago. BUT... I definitely have caught women staring at them in Starbucks plenty of times. They are either thinking... "Damn... that chick has on $850 pumps, she must be a badass mamajammer who makes like a trillion dollars a year at her extremely important, totally rad job!?!"... or... (and the more likely scenario)... "Look at that broke bitch trying to walk around like she's got on red bottoms. PUH-lease..."
4. I have since thought more about the whole one-wish thing and I lied. Screw my hair, I would TOTALLY ask to have a rock hard body, and then to be able to eat whatever I want and never get fat. Yup... THAT would be my wish. Then I would just walk around with my dirty hair and knock off shoes eating lasagna and garlic bread. Naked.

I'm totally with you on #4! LOL I thought to myself,"WHAT? Why is she wasting her wish on her hair???" ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteThat scenario has to be written into a movie.

I am so with you when it comes to hair Melissa. When I am on vacation in Serbia I go to a briliant hair dresser there and I always tell him if I would be a millionaire i would def hire him, so he can do my hair all the time :-). Wouldnt that be great? Also I must say we both have thick and lots of hair, we shouldnt be complaining right? ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnd who cares if shoes cost 1000 bucks or 30 as longs they look great, I dont bother which labe it is :-).
Hope you are doing great my beautiful fashionista :-)
