Polka dots, a headscarf, and (oh my goodness!) jeans
I posted a picture of how we revealed the baby’s gender to our family on Instagram yesterday, and one of my Insta-friends commented “oh my gosh, you’re wearing jeans!” so I thought… maybe I should blog them more often. Because right now, I do wear jeans a lot. I’m starting to get to that “I feel like a whale in flared dresses” phase, so I prefer more fitted silhouettes, including (surprisingly) jeans. But styling jeans in a retro way has always stumped me. How the heck do you do retro jean maternity wear? This hair helps a lot, though! While I grow my bangs out, this might be my…

The pretender strikes again!
GreenLightGirl asked me to do a quick full-face makeup tutorial, and since I had so much fun doing the last one, I had to comply. Now, as stated before… and probably also stated in the video, I’m not a makeup artist. I do this because it’s fun, and because people have asked me for tutorials. I should warn you that I ramble and blunder a lot in this video, because I’m only professional in short bursts. Pretender, remember? 😉 And as stated by a commenter on the last makeup tutorial: makeup can do ALOT! Products used: Boots No.7 foundation in Nude (Target, $14.99); Cover Girl loose powder in Translucent Fair (no…

Two miracles in one day.
Miracle one: I got dressed after all. Miracle two: I’m wearing jeans. And I like them. Crazy, huh? Details: Cardigan($5), shirt($3.99), belt($0.99) and jeans($3.25) thrifted; Shoes($20) and necklace($8), Target; Headband($3), Fred Meyer. Approximate outfit cost: $44.23 The last time I wore jeans, I wore this cardigan. AND this headband. And I was 10 pounds heavier. I am much more comfortable in my skin now, and I like these jeans a lot better. Possibly because I was looking at these pictures and thinking “oh, I look skinny!” (Don’t overreact. Skinny, to me, isn’t stick-thin. It’s just healthily curvaceous as opposed to overweight and pudgy. So there. ;)) I even did my makeup. I…

Don’t mind me. I’m just in need of some cheese.*
I didn’t feel like getting up today. Or getting dressed. I went to hang out with my friend Sarah, (which was fun, by the way. We watched Jane Eyre.) and if I didn’t absolutely hate it when people go places in their pajamas, I’d probably have just gone over to her house in my pajamas. As it was, I went through several outfits before settling on jeans. (Jeans! I know, weird.) Thing is, I’ve lost weight since I bought these jeans, so they’re getting too lose. Already. Which isn’t a bad thing– the losing weight– but I just bought these, and they’re the first pair of jeans in years that…
