I didn't sleep well last night - combination of too many carbs while watching football and some distrubing dreams. Combine that with some challenging clients and an (hours-long) unanswered text from a cute boy and my mood is pretty low today. Luckily I have hockey, a Reese's cup and a Pepsi Max to tide me over until the sitcoms start and I can shut my brain down
Onto my outfit:
Black half-cardigan, burgundy/wine colored silk tee-shirt (Ann Taylor Loft) and brown wide leg trousers (NY & Co) with my silver wedge heels (Payless)
Couple things here: 1. New Nixon camera and different angle - do we like better? 2. The necklace is a skeleton-key style pendant and the top is an owl's face - I absolutely bogarted this owl obsession from my sister. I refuse, however, to also borrow her love for "grandma" prints.
Lastly, I am going to again profess my love of the gel manicure:
It costs me $15 and it lasts about 2-3 weeks depending on how fast my nails grow. Awhile back I decided that my standard French-tip acrylics were too much work and money. My manicurist suggested this. It's specially designed base, color and top coats that are baked under a UV light in between layers. When all is said and done it's as strong as the acrylics without the damage...and I can get my keys out of my purse without ruining my fresh manicure. I recommend everyone go find a salon that does this and try at least once (also called Shellac nails or Gellish)
Feeling better already, but that may be the glass of wine and the fact Hendricks just scored a goal :-D
sad that you had a rough day. happy that you're picture background has improved! i have a new appreciation for photographing yourself in the morning - not easy.
ReplyDeletealso, don't fret about the text. i can go days without answering a text and it mostly means i'm lazy/busy.
the "word" to post a comment was "surse"
ReplyDeletesurse (n.) a sassy purse. "Hey ya'll check out my surse - it's got zebra prints!"
Thanks for your votes of encouragment and the "surse" comment - first time I've laughed all day. Also, just finished day 7 of pilates and free weights and I'm seeing it in the mirror :)
ReplyDeleteHi there (I'm MDT's sister), just saw your blog when I was reading Molly's and I love it! I'm following you via rss (don't think you see that so wanted to know you have another fan). I also am a double digiter (12 for most of my life, 10 when I bike commuted and didn't own a car). Keep up the amazing work and love the outfits, I need more professional inspiration too!
ReplyDeleteSilly Betsy - I know who you are! Thanks for the kind words and hope you can get some ideas from my little corner of the blog-o-sphere :)
