I had a completely different outfit on today and had to change; I just didn't feel right. This morning I spent an extra-long time at the gym, had a hearty yet healthy breakfast and went out in the front yard to play with the dog. It made me feel very... relaxed. More L.L. Bean than Nordstrom. So I quickly changed.
Coral and white striped cotton sweater AND white stretch denim skirt from Ann Taylor Loft, silver hoops and cuff bracelet, beaded thong sandals from Seychelles.
Hair was wahsed and conditioned with Suave Professionals Color Care; this stuff gives my hair really soft soft soft little-kid hair. Then a bit of Sexy Straight balm, then dried with round brush. Teensy bit of BioSilk on the ends to cover up the desperate need for a trim.
Makeup is L'Oreal True Match foundation, Physician's Formula Magical Mosaics bronzer in light, a bit of Nars Orgasm on the cheeks. On eyes is Revlon ColorStay shadow quad in neutral - ivory on the corners and brow bone, khaki on the lids and a bit of olive on the lower lid (leftover from previous outfit). L'Oreal Voluminous mascara in black and a line of Maybelline Ultra Liner in black on the top lash line.
Your white denim skirt, is that the one that's on sale at ATL right now? I've been eying it, but I'm not sure how much use I'll get out of it considering it's almost fall.
ReplyDeleteYou always look great in it.
Why yes, yes it is my dear! I bought it full price and it sat in my trunk for a week because I felt I should return it. Then I had no clean clothes so I scampered out late at night and retrieved it from the trunk.
ReplyDeleteNot the best for fall, doesn't really fit the fall vibe, but I think I will get wear next summer. It has tan stitching, I have bleached it, dried it, left it in the dryer serveral hours after the cycle has completed and it always looks fresh. So for $20.... if you think it would be your style next summer too...
ooh, I think you look so cute Dilly! quite the french je ne sais quoi end of summer vibe.
ReplyDeleteA white skirt is a pretty basic summer piece that won't go out of style - and you'll be happy you have it when next summer rolls around!
ReplyDeleteAt the end of last August, I bought a pair of on sale Fornarina silver grecian-inspired sandals and wore them to death this summer. I hesitated too, but they turned out to be a great purchase.
