Allie Don't Feel Good

She didn't take a shower, she didn't fix her hair. She didn't put on a ton of makeup, and her clothing choice isn't too stellar. Allie stayed up late with husband who doesn't have to work today. We watched movies, had marital relations and drank very strong Grey Goose and tonics and fed each other sushi. It was a lovely evening, but resulted in a less than lovely Monday.


Black merino v-neck from Ann Taylor. White ribbed tank from J. Crew.

I know, I know I despise the look of a tank under a sweater - it is so childish and suburban and stupid. You never see celebrities or fashionistas with tanks under their tops. They either accept their cleavage or don't purchase the top. I feel this fashion was created for little girls trying to dress like Britney but their parents are trying to cover their little bits. A tank under the belly top is like the bike shorts we wore under short skirts and babydoll dresses in the 80's. Lame and just for kids or people insecure with their feminine curves.

But I am sick and I am tired and I don't feel pretty and I have a chill. So I wear a tank under my sweater for comfort, not an attempt at fashion. I do like gray, black and white with silver jewelry - nice impact, but normally I wouldn't achieve it in this manner.

So the pants are Tahari. The shoes are black leather pumps from B.P./Nordstrom. Silver hoops and silver cuff - my jewelry uniform. I wore an aquamarine pashmina with this to ward off chill in the drafty office. Lovely contrast to the neutral drab colors.

Hair? Hair is not even brushed. It is yanked up into a messy topknot with a black covered elastic. no frills, no fuss, no fashion. Pure function.

Makeup? L'Oreal True Match foundation. A touch of Chanel concealer because I am running out. I ran out of my MAC concealer, I ordered more and they accidentally sent me a foundation stick. I am desperately in need of a trip to the mall pronto. I wore Almay bronzer in place of blush because I looked sickly, sallow and pale. No blush because I feared I was actually sick and didn't want o be looking more flushed or feverish than necessary. A touch of Lancome's Juicy Tubes in Daiquiri on the lips, Clinique Snow in the corners of the eyes, The Body Shop's Fawn Pearl on the lids, and a good coat of MAC's X mascara on the Shu Eumura'd curled lashes.

Hot stuff.

I hope to be far more fashionable on tomorrow.

I cannot believe I wore my hair this way. I always said that the adult women who always wear their hair in pony tails and top knots are those who have a bad hair cut. Nah, just dirty hair this time.

Speaking of which, I do need to schedule my routine trim......
