Neutral


First off, let me just apologize for being somewhat absent recently. With the new job and some other things going on it's been just a bit hectic. 

Anyway, on to the outfit. Neutrals are pretty much amazing. On days where you can't make up your mind.. why not have it all? In neutrals of course! I think this is one of the most important things Stacy and Clinton (of What Not To Wear) teach. 

Also, this bag. I love it. I picked it up in Goodwill on Black Friday and it's been my go- to bag ever since. I'm really not sure why it hasn't show up on the blog before. But seriously, it's sort of magic and goes with everything. Yay vintage finds!

Everybody's Workin' For The Weekend


Boy does it feel good to be back in a dress! I just started a new job that requires me to wear jeans, so I've been in pants all week. The upside is that jeans are practical for the job and the cold, wet weather we've been having, so it's not too bad. 

Tonight I'm going to a play and I think I'll switch the flats for heels. One of my favorite things about this dress (besides everything) is how easy it is to pair with everything and dress up or down. I know I say this about every dress I own, but it really is one of my favorites.

FOTD: Rainy Day


This look was inspired by the large amounts of rain pouring down outside my window today. I finally got comfortable with eye shadow in neutral colors and now I'm moving forward into scarier colors. Blue is terrifying! When I think blue eye shadow I often think of the shade Jamie Lee Curtis uses in My Girl as she says "A girl can never wear enough blue eye shadow!"

Anyway, since my eyes are somewhat crazy today I kept the rest of the look neutral- a little bit of rosy blush, and a nude lip with gloss. I'm pretty happy with how my face turned out- I really was nervous about the blue. Especially since my eyes are green. I thought it would look kind of funny, but it turned out fine.




Looks pretty stormy right? Perfect for an Oregon Winter!
