Green and Ivory Wednesday

I enjoy spring color trends, because I can play lighter lighter hues and different fun hues. I put together a rather inexpensive semi-professional look by purchasing items that cost less than $50 each:

• Ivory Lacy Jacket: Macy’s ($20; Originally $46; it was 40% off + plus 25% off coupon)
• Ivory Blouse: Marshall’s ($17)
• Green Pants: NY&CO ($40)
• Shoes: Target (Sorry, but I can’t remember how much they cost)
• Jewelry: JCPenny (pendant and Earrings, $40), Kohl’s (Bracelet, $15)

 

My Christmas Look…and sacrifice

I wanted to look extra special this Christmas, maybe because I’ve gained a few pounds or maybe because I was not feeling great. I hurt my back that day and it was painful even to walk. Pain aside, I still managed to out on makeup, red dress, jewelry, high-heels, and a wig ;).

Now, it was time to go to church. My hair needed to be pulled back.

Here I’m with my friend Wiesia, who came to visit me for Christmas:

It probably took me about 40 minutes to get ready, not including another 50 minutes spent on applying makeup. Don’t forget, I was doing everything in a very slow motion.

At the end, I think I looked fabulous and the back pain didn’t stop me from enjoying the entire day :). The next day (and even still today) I had to endure the consequences of my actions. 😛
