Big Shoulders & Buffets

(December 24, 2011)

Hi everyone!! I'm posting this as soon as I can..3 days after the fact. I've been busy since Christmas Eve. I worked, then went to a fundraising dinner hosted by my church. It was so much fun. I love spending time with family and friends, especially for a good cause, and even MORE especially when there's food involved, YUM! *I"m secretly a foodie ;)* 
I actually took pictures of my make-up for the night this time.

Just come Black Opal foundation in Mocha. My eyeshadow is an eye duo from E.L.F. lipstick is by Wet'n'Wild 506B.
My Hair is a twist out that I styled into an updo; inspired by Ms. Neecy of The Ivy Leage Clique.

I kinda love stripes..just a little bit. I bought this striped skirt last summer. The left is how I wore it for a party last Fall.

The right is how I wore it recently. It's ironic that I wore it over a year later with those same blue tights..and a black jacket. I shouldn't be surprised, though. I tend to repeat outfits, not necessarily articles of clothing. I was NOT thinking about that outfit when I got dressed this time, however.

This post is not about my intellectual prowess... ;). 

Have you ever bought something after falling in love with it, then come home and thought, "Oh noooo, nothing goes with it!!" Well, that was the case with the gorgeous heels I wore for this post.

I bought them during a retail therapy session (sometimes you just need it..you just do). I bought the shoes and a very chic macro-printed floral top (I wore it..the outfit was NOT amazing lol).

As soon as I saw these, I knew they had to be mine. I clung to them for dear life and finally tried them on..*SIGH* umm, yes. Fit like a GLOVE! *would I say sock, since it's my foot?? I think that's the foot-equivalent of glove, right?*

This poor dress is a closet orphan..*tear* I probably have several, but they're all hiding. This particular one was given to me by my mommy (yes, I call my mother mommy..at home, at the store, at church, at school, on the phone..you get the point). She gave it to me this summer and it sat in my drawer for the longest time. Until one day I just needed something loose and comfy, so I wore it with a dark brown skinny belt (or else the empire waist gives you that preggo look) and dark brown, studded sandals.

This time..I wore it on purpose!

pictures in the car =]

I do this regularly..it's not strange at all, lol. I'm practicing for when I get home :p
