OOTD: Green
While my husband and I didn’t celebrate x-mas yesterday, we did have our nearest and dearest over for a lovely potluck Sunday dinner. It was grand! It felt decadent in the least possibly sinful sort of way. I mean, everything was made with such love and care and was delicious. We drank, we talked, we listened to music and played a party game. It felt like this is the reason to be around this planet. It felt like connecting with people was truly the purpose of life. But I spent a lot of time drinking last night, so don’t worry, not trying to get too mystical on ya! Ha-ha!
I won’t lie though, I did feel like something was missing or amiss. What can I say? I feel left out of all of the good parts of this time of year because I refuse to participate in the bad. Ignorance is truly bliss, I guess. I used to get really caught up in the spirit of it all, especially as a teen, though I’m not sure why. That magic has been lost to me now. But getting to hang out with my friends is such a special treat that I’d feel like an ass not to be mega-grateful!
Here it is the next morning and all I can think about is when we get to hang out again, which is this Thursday! Ha-ha! We will be having our third annual “Donut-Pajama-Video Game Day!” You can guess the point of this time honored tradition. Though any excuse to hang out in ones bed clothes other than illness is always a good one in my book. And I’ll be starting my new job on Monday. Wow!
So, regardless of the “day” and all, I wanted to wear green for some reason…so I did:
I don’t know much about the outfit. The dress was from Nicole, the top was Target from ages ago…The lip gloss I’m in love with though! It’s NYC Liquid Lip Shine in Midtown Mulbury and it smells like fucking vanilla cupcakes! And the color is perfection! Damn I love cheapy cosmetics! Though if anyone can recommend a GOOD eyeliner, do let me know. I keep trying new ones and they suck.
Anyway, I hope you had a lovely weekend and if you’re still off work, do enjoy your time off and do something extra special for yourself. Thanks.
cute! and yay job! 😀
i’ll have to look at that lipcolor, it’s really great. i LOVE the l’oreal hip cream truth liners. they’re in a little pot and come with a wee tiny angle brush. i don’t see them as often as i used to, but if you can find one? aces. i also have a wet n wild liquid liner pen that is surprisingly good.
maggiemunkee: I think I have that wet n’ wild pen and it is pretty good. Better than more expensive ones I’ve gotten, that’s for sure. Thanks for the tip.
Irrelevant slightly – but you have such a damn quirky, wise, lovely face!
And now onto relevance: pajama-donuts-videogame day sounds RIGHT UP MY ALLEY. I’m not conventional, but I am a traditionalist, and be damned but I think it’s time I start creating my own meaningful ‘customs’ that personally resonate – to offset enduring the other ones!
Dani: Aw, thank you. I am ALL about creating/starting your own traditions and customs and rituals. Even a secret handshake is fun.
Damn girl, green looks amazing on you! I’m jealous, it makes me look sickly.
Kath: Ah, it’s my red hair and Irish heritage I assume. But thank you so much. You pull off the purple and hot pinks that I wish I could! <3
