Girliness.
As if I wasn’t girly enough already, today I feel like a culmination of everything it means to be feminine. Pink? Check. Purple? Double check. Heels? Of course! Shiny things? Yes. Everywhere. Painted nails? For once, check. Twirly skirt? Well… close enough.
It’s rare that even I feel too girly, but this outfit… I feel like a doll. In a weird way.
But not enough that I’m going to change.
My man and I are going job-hunting today. He makes custom furniture for people from his house, but he’d like a “real” job, and me… well, I just want to have a budget for thrift shopping again.
So I’m dropping off my resume at the million-and-three coffee stands within a twenty-minute radius of my house, and he’s… I don’t actually know where he’s going to apply.
If I look tired to you, it’s because… I am. I stay up too late.
And no, in case you were wondering… I don’t ever wear any other shoes.
Also:
Because I think he’s ravishingly handsome, and I may or may not have this picture as my computer background just so that I can minimize my desktop windows to swoon.
Yes. You should be jealous that I found him first.

I love this outfit, the skirt is so great. You should paint your nails more often, they look really nice.
I’m totally stunned by how blue that eye is. Wowza.

Thank you! I often determine to paint my nails consistently and keep them pretty… but then two seconds after I’m done painting my nails, I mess three of them up and my resolution goes out the window. 😀 I’m just terrible at keeping my nails painted nicely.

Helloooooo purple eyes 😉 And yes, I’m beyond jealous. Grrrrr. Now if you’ll excuse me, I think I’ll just go back to mentally dating celebrities who don’t know I exist…

Allow me to join you, my dear. I think it’s high time my imagination paid Ioan Gruffudd another visit. You can bring anyone you like for invisible tea and scones with cream!
“Ravishingly handsome.” Oh, Mara. You are a doll. 😀
Mara
Well… he IS ravishingly handsome. In my book. 😀
Mara
Hahaha! Oh, man, the memories of when I used to do that… 😀 Someday, my young friend, someday. 😉

WOW!!! It’s…THE EYE!!! hahha! He has gorgeous eyes! Both of you do actually! You’re a stunning couple 🙂
I actually really like your girly side! Pink looks good on you. And your hair…it looks so different! You’re gorgeous <3 Love suits you! 😀 😀
Good luck to both of you with the job-hunting thing! 😀
Byyeee!!!
Mara
Thank you, dear!
I didn’t think I could get more girly, but this post proved me wrong. 😉

Skirt + shoes = I love!!!
Good luck with finding jobs.
Mara
Why, thank you! I rather love these shoes, too. But that’s already been established. 😀

The skirt may look sort of doll-ish. Not in a bad way. And very pretty nail polish! I never wear any anymore… (Full contact sport will do that to you.)
Good luck with job-hunting to the both of you!
Mara
I rarely wear nail polish because five seconds after I get done polishing, I somehow manage to ruin one or two nails… and I don’t even know how it happens. I never have perfect nails. Sigh.
thank you!

You are always girly and feminine!
Mara
That’s true. But this day I felt even more so with all the pink and purple. 🙂

This is super girly in the best way possible! And I understand why you keep wearing those shoes because they’re awesome.
Mara
Thank you! 😀 I will wear these shoes until they break. Which I hope isn’t soon.
Michelle

Mara
Hehe, no, you can’t! I always forget how much I like pink until I wear it again. 😀

They are very blue! I think the coloring of the picture plays it up quite a bit (I de-saturated everything but his eye a bit) but y’know. He has pretty eyes. 😉 Thank you!
