This outfit was pretty much a shot in the dark. I didn't know what to wear, I had 10 minutes to get ready for work, and my trusty black pants are in the wash. So what's the plan? Make a colour palette and grab stuff in that palette. Black, white, gray? Checkcheckcheck. I received a surprising amount of compliments on my red lipstick--that it looks good, it's cheerful, "it's working for" me (last one from my boss). So I guess it's safe from elimination!
One thing I knew I wanted to try was this hairstyle (the reason I had 10 mintues to get dressed!). Meghan--who needs to start her blog like, yesterday, so I can link to her--suggested during the Skull Cap Incident of 2011 that I try a braid as a headband, so I finally did. I really like how it looks! I sprayed my hair liberally with a sea salt/water combo and teased the crown a bit to get the look I wanted.
And no, that is not a remote I clutch in my grubby little paw. It's my car keys. Safety first, y'all! I did not however think of the unsafe effects of being outside in a full skirt during a superwindy day like today--two seconds before the shutter went off on my camera for the picture above, the outer layer of my skirt went sailing up to my waist! I hastily shoved it down and hoped that moment was not captured on film. It wasn't. But there may have been a surveillance camera that caught all that on tape. At least the skirt lining didn't move a muscle, am I right? And nary a teenage boy in sight. That would have been mortifying.
