but I wore it anyway. I just tug on the hem all day.
So, blue merino v-neck from J. Crew. Charcoal suiting fabric trousers from Ann Taylor. Teal suede mules from Seychelles/Nordstrom, teal glass necklace from vendor in Italy. Blues and greens beaded bracelet from Express circa 1998 or so.Makeup is Bare Escentuals, Nars Orgasm, Goldie lipgloss in Blossom, touch of gray shadow ont he lids (Body Shop), MAC Zoom Lash and Maybelline liquid liner.
Hair is curly today thanks to a crapload of Marc Anthony's Strigtly Curls line. A bit of V05 mousse at the roots, the Strictly Curls balm/gel on the rest. Spray the Strictly Curls Curling Spray on top of that. Dried scrunching with my broken diffuser. Hit the whole head with the Strictly Curls Humidity Spray (an aerosol hairspray) and then took the unruly sections with my cheapo Vidal Sassoon curling iron from 7th grade. Then I took some of the Strictly Curls serum (like BioSilk) and rubbed it on my hands and lightly smoothed the hair with it. Still had some issues with pieces that didn't want to lay right.
I am going out tonight for my friend's birthday. I will have time to change after work, but not do a whole hairstyle. I figured the curly will be the easiest to spruce up in short time. A few rounds with the curling iron, a re-app of spray and I am good to go.
Oh, Dilly, if you could have seen the seething mob of humanity I was trapped with yesterday and the things they chose to put on their bodies WHEN TRYING TO GET A JOB, you would have wept. A sea of uninspired black, gray, navy. Several people in jeans and sneakers. One woman had on nice work pants with sneakers! Really cheap, loud polyester blazers or blouses. One woman sitting near me had bare, fish belly white legs, flat, ugly loafers, an above the knee electric blue plaid skirt that stretched tightly over her large belly, and a skimpy, sleeveless shell that emphasized her flabby upper arms. It was like something out of Hieromymus Bosch or perhaps Dante' ninth circle of hell.
ReplyDeleteI am always floored by what people wear to interviews. I have worked in several different arenas, from conservative government, creative corporate, retail, merchandising, training... and each arena I am more shocked.
ReplyDeleteFriday I interviewed a woman who has two bachelors, two masters and a PhD. She's 45, great looking woman with a fabulous personality. She wore a jacket that seemed to be straight from 1985 - big shoulder pads, bright red polyester, black oversized buttons, cuffs and epaulets. Double breasted and two sizes too big. Underneath she wore a purple ribbed v-neck top, then a gray straight skirt that hit to the widest part of her calves, white hose and navy elastic strappy open toed shoes. Long straight hair parted in the middle, hanging past her shoulder blades. Beat up brown leather handbag bursting at the seams. Awful.
