Day 2: this is f'ing time consuming as all hell

Tuesday, December 1, 2009
Seriously, trying to look nice takes a ridiculous amount of time! It's a good thing the grocery store doesn't care if I go late because I definitely left the house waaaaay later than I expected I would. Anyway, here is day 2:


This outfit took me FOREVER to put together considering how unexciting it is. I put on a bunch of different skirts and sweaters and tanktops and GOOD LORD.

What I like about this outfit:
- a bit brighter than yesterday's outfit, which was pretty dark
- I really love these boots (even though you, my friends, can't see them)
- I like headbands because they allow me to still keep my hair down but spruces things up a bit
- generally pretty flattering, as it hides the things that need to be hidden

What I don't like about this outfit:
- my headband (which is black and sparkly) doesn't really match
- this outfit is kind of plain Jane (the accessories, which you also can't really see, help a lot though)
- in theory this outfit isn't weather appropriate, but my knees didn't seem to mind the cold when I went out

Anyway, I yet again applaud my own effort because I wore this outfit to get a manicure and to go grocery shopping. As in, when I'm wearing a coat (though I took off my coat during my manicure just so SOMEONE would see my outfit). And because I realized that hardly anyone would see this outfit yet I still wanted to look decent, I actually put makeup on! This is unheard of in my life. But here, proof:


This is actually the first time that I used eyeliner only on my top lid, I guess in my attempt to look more like a person running errands and less like a person headed out to da club. I kind of dig it. But overall I actually really like how my makeup looks and GOOD GOD I LOVE MY RED HAIR SO MUCH I WANT TO MARRY IT.

Also, just to show that I can still look cute even with a coat on:


I think the skirt and boots look lovely with the pea coat. Also, I think it's awesome that the picture frame behind me makes it look like I have horns. Or cat ears, or something. Meow.

Anyway, I am much more pleased with this outfit than I originally thought I would be. Overall grade: A-

I'm digging it with the scarf! Very cute. And I am also wearing a skirt and boots today. Great minds, and all.

It is unreal how hard it is sometimes to find an outfit to match. I think we need one of those machines Cher had in "Clueless" that tells you whether an outfit is a mismatch or not. It would save sooo much time. (Although I didn't rate many of the outfits in that film...)

Love the look! Yeah it takes me 10-15 minutes to put something together and even then, I'm usually changing right up until I leave the house.
