Dress to Impress Week: Conclusion

Dress to Impress Week is over, and I'm kind of sad. It was fun wearing my best outfits, but it was not fun trying to think of winning combinations everyday, ok that was fun but just exhausting. Milestones for my life included: Wearing heels to work, mixing prints, black socks and wearing a skirt to work. I didn't post for Friday because Friday we wear casual clothes and I didn't think anybody would care to see that. I think I'll wear more skirts to work after this experience.

Dress to Impress Week: Thursday 9/27

Today marks an important day in history: I am wearing a skirt to work for the first time in my life, with heels at that!

Beauty and the Review: Primer

What: Primer

Brand: Almay

Line: Smart Shade

Color: N/A

Price: $9.99 for 1.0 fl oz

Application: Finger tips

Coverage: N/A

Longevity: This product is meant to give you a good base for your foundation (redundant perhaps?) and to help your make up last longer throughout the day.

Positives: This does in fact provide a good base, at least I think it does, however...

Negatives: This goes on pretty shiny, and while it does get less shiny after it "sets" or "dries", but I think my skin looks a bit greasy. But I can't tell if my skin is actually greasy or if the product is what causing the greasy look, just have to compensate with a bit more powder. Oh and it smells bad.

In a nut shell: The greasy factor is less than desireable, but I think my skin just needs some time to adjust and the greasiness look may subside. Then again, I'm not sure it makes enough of a difference to make me want to buy it again.

Dress to Impress Week: Wednesday 9/26

I've worn this outfit to work before, but today is the first time with heels. But it is one of my favorites, mostly because of the vest, but I love these pants too. The shirt is also adorable has birds on it, so it is safe to say this is one of my favored outfits even when it's not DTIW.

Getting excited for Halloween!

 Last year Gooseberry Banana and I went as Thing 1 and Thing 2, cosa uno y cosa dos it was a spur of the moment decision and thank goodness I am not the only person willing to put on a spandex unitard! I love love love couple/partner/team/group costumes, that being said, this is what I want to be for Halloween this year.

 

I have wanted to be Marilyn forever, I almost was 2 years ago but went as a beer maid instead. I have no regrets. Anyway, since I love group efforts for costumes, I have enlisted Gooseberry and her man to make my dreams come true. If Dewberry were going to be here I would have insisted that he be James Dean.

 

I realize that it is not Jackie in the photo but Katie Holmes, all I really cared about was getting a full shot of the outfit and that's hard to find on the real Jackie.

 

I am currently watching "My Week with Marilyn" to help myself get into character for the big day.
