Hair and Makeup: Pulled back into three low ponytails twisted into buns. I saw this in the latest issue of Real Simple with bangs pinned back and some tendrils pulled out around the sideburn area, usual makeup with reddish lipstick
Comments/Compliments/Complaints: Several- a client said I looked cute and she liked my purple socks, a few strangers and some gross dude whistled and yelled hey mommy from his car to which I replied with a heavy eye roll.
So yesterday marked the beginning of the last one hundred days. I've gone full circle in my blog journey. I'll be completely a full year and going back to my roots of one hundred days. I know it will fly by. I know I'll be happy to pare down my wardrobe and to wear certain dresses again but it will be bittersweet. As of right now I have about seventeen or so dresses left. I intend to make some, have some made, attend clothing swaps, borrow, trade and probably still buy some dresses to complete the last one hundred days.
I like this dress even though it's too big. It must have been for its previous owner as well because she sewed some ribbon onto it to form a strap. Thanks whoever you are! I still added a cute puffy sleeved t-shirt underneath since the top part was a little weird. I also wore some cute purple knee socks and added this belt since it was a little bit sack like without it. I read the latest issue of Real Simple last night and learned this cute hairdo. I dig it. It wasn't perfect but I'll get it. I should've taken a picture of it. Oh well.
I slept late today, probably because I stayed up super late on a coffee high. I woke up, had some coffee, got dressed and left the house without eating. No good. I worked a bit and then headed to Essene for some sustenance. I wanted sushi but they had no veggie variety. I opted for the hot food bar but turned out it was kind of ick. Oh well. I finished working and then headed to the thrift store for my weekly dress binge. It was a good haul. I got seven dresses and a cool vintage piece of furniture for $32. Word. I then met Michael and two of the three Steves at Kraftwork for a drink and some dinner. I had a flat bread pizza with goat cheese, arugula and dates. It was quite yummy but a bit expensive for what it was. Oh well. I also had a yummy porter but only 8oz because I hadn't eaten much.
After dinner we came home and dillydallied before heading to Cape May for the weekend, leaving the house to the Steves. Scary, scary.
