A Week of Lipstick: Color Roundup
As I mentioned, last week I decided to wear a new shade of lipstick every day. It was a challenge to myself, as a lipstick hoarder but not wearer, to see if I could stand wearing lipstick every day (I hate lipstick marks on my coffee cup, and Asa’s baby fingers go STRAIGHT for colorful lips), and also to see if it made me feel any differently after reading two Buzzfeed articles in which one woman went makeupless for a week, and another WORE makeup for a week. I am a pretty consistent makekup-wearer, especially right now as this pregnancy is making me break out, but while I love to…

What Would a Hobbit Wear?
It’s finally Hobbit day! Today is kind of feeling bittersweet for me; I am so excited to go see The Battle of Five Armies, but I really, really don’t want Middle Earth to end. And it hit me the other day that this is probably the very last Tolkien movie to come out. At least, for a long, long time. My husband has said that the Tolkien estates won’t sell the rights to any of his other works, so… as far as we know, this is it. And I’m sad. But, you know, I would be happier if someone decided to make a trilogy (or… double trilogy) of Gormenghast.…

Sweet as Cherry Pie
Please vote for me in the Firmoo Blogger Awards contest! All you have to do is click the “vote” button once a day from now till the 14th, and you’re done! No sign-up, no required email address, nothin’! Just a click and done and I will love you forever! I don’t know why, but somewhere along the last year or two, I’ve quit mixing patters as much as I used to. I feel like back in 2012 when I really started getting into my own style, I mixed patterns and colors willy nilly, but then somewhere between then and now, I stopped. I don’t know why; perhaps I was trying…

A New Way to Wear a Scarf
I just got five beautiful new silk scarves from a recent garage-sale-ing trip, and I have been wracking my brain for new ways to wear them, so that I can showcase the gorgeous prints on the scarves. I mean, wearing them as headscarves only goes so far, and only coordinates with so many outfits. Plus, as a headscarf, you can’t see the full prettiness of the scarf. So when I was playing with my outfit this morning, I felt pretty smart for realizing I could wear the scarf like this. I love the way it looks! Especially with this skirt, which is my new favorite. It’s from Oasap, and it…

Fall Colors and Pregnancy Updates
Do you ever have those days where you have several different outfits to post, and you just can’t decide which one to go with first? This week has been like that. I have three different Dressember outfits in my backlog, and after debating a lot about which one to share first, I decided… might as well keep going in Chronological order. Haha! I have a hard time sharing posts out of order from when they happened! Please ignore the weird stain on the dress skirt; I have no idea where that came from! But that happens a lot. I can’t see anything past the top of my belly, so I…
