Thursday... Look what I Have!

That's right ladies and gentlemen, I have the dress I desired from Target! Toya inspired me; I left work yesterday around 3pm and headed to the location near my office, hoping a different community would offer a different clothing collection. The Paul and Joe collection was right in front, and I immediately spotted the mallard blue color on a rack. There were about a dozen dresses left, half of them were a size Large. I didn't even try it on, I dashed to the register and headed back to the office. I figured if it wasn't flattering, I could return it at lunch the next day. Not returning it, but I really do need to update my shoe collection to have a pair worthy of this dress (and many of my other more formal dresses... I have been a shoe slacker).

So the blue dress from Paul and Joe for Target, gold chain from Express, gold bangles from Claire's, copper and gold sequined heeled slides from Mossimo (last summer, a coworker was wearing them and I HAD to have them, yet rarely wear them).

Hair is second-day dirty. I brushed it out, hit a few pieces with the curling iron that were bed-headed and then brushed it out again with a wood-bristled brush.

Makeup is L'Oreal True match foundation, MAC Studio Stick concealer, Physican's Formula Magical Mosiacs bronzer in light for color and powder. Onlips is a L'Oreal lipstick that Andie McDowell promotes, it is anti-feathering with two ends - one a base coat and one a top coat. Ledft it at home so do not have the name or color, but it is a soft plum shade with a hint of shimmer. A cool neutral. On eyes is The Body Shop's Shimmer Cubes. I have raved before about the Warmth collection. Each season they come out with a Limited Edition color; a few winters ago they had a palette that was a dark purple, a soft silvery plum, a light sparkly teal and a darker mallard blue. I have the light teal fainly on my lids, I mixed the dark purple and teal together and applied to the lower lash line and in the crease. I usually don't wear such crazy makeup to the office, but I just HAD to with this dress! So disco fever! So two coats of L'Oreal Voluminous mascara in black and a thin line of Maybelline's Ultra Liner in black on the top lash line.
