VO5 Dazzling Shine

A few months back I ran out of my normal hairspray so when I was at the store I grabbed a bottle of Suave hairspray figuring how different can it be. The answer is the cheap kind caused my hair to become brittle and break off near the root. Yes you heard it rite BREAK OFF. Needless to say I stopped using the product immediately but then I had to do something to repair the damage to my remaining hair so I went looking for a repair product.

I decided to try this product thinking at least it should help with the frizz caused by the broken bits but was I ever amazed. Usually shine products are very oily and make my hair limp and greasy but this stuff doesn't. It makes my hair soft and shinny. I spray it on liberally after I towel dry my hair every time I wash it. I don't know if everyone will like it but my hair is thick and fine and long and tends to get dry so if you've got similar hair I recommend it. Also it's not expensive. I think I paid around $5.00 for it.

Ornate Earrings

These are the earrings I was wearing yesterday. They are very heavy and by the end of the day my ears are sore but like high heals they are so worth it. I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that they remind me of the earrings in Desperately Seeking Susan.

Told Ya I Was Gonna Start Wearing More Black

Originally I put on a different cami but it didn't look right so I changed. The whole ensemble is from Express and I was wearing my fabulous leopard jacket again since the weather is now starting to get cooler. I think if you click on the picture you can see my earrings which are one of the pairs I was complaining that I could not find. They are from Target & very heavy and I love the drama of them.

I'm off work Tomorrow and Thursday so I probably won't have any pictures of my outfits. I do however have some items I've been meaning to feature/review so be sure to check in. I will be posting around Fiona's nap schedule.

Elvis Would Totaly Wear This Jacket

It was a bit chilly today & I couldn't find my brown blazer. I think I may have gotten rid of it so I put on this one which I normally don't wear to work. It's more of a going out in jeans and stilettos type of thing.

The blazer is from Macy's as is the blouse and the pants are from Express.

I was very productive this weekend and did all my dry cleaning and ironing so I've got lots of things to wear (for now).

Possibly the Last Skirt I'll Wear For a Whille

It's starting to get colder and according to the weather report it's supposed to start raining tomorrow (which is good we're in a drought) so I'll be bundling up more. Sigh. I hate cold weather clothes, they are not flattering to my figure. I start looking all lumpy.

Well at least this is something new (to the site). I got this outfit, and yest the weird little shirt is supposed to go over the dress, at Mervyn's several years ago. I have a thing about not shopping at Mervyn's so you'll probably never see me in anything from there again.

The weather change is doing weird things to my coloring so I've been experimenting with my eye makeup and am not pleased with the results. Yesterday I looked like the undead, which would be fine if that was what I'd been trying to do.

Sigh again. Lumpy clothes and bad makeup, oh and don't forget how dry and dull my hair gets in fall. Is it time for Spring yet?

Common Courtesy

This is what I wore yesterday. The outfit looks oddly dowdy in this picture but in motion......well you can see the slit in the skirt. It goes quite high. It wasn't until about halfway through the day when I realized the combination of that skirt and fishnet tights was maybe less than work appropriate. Modesty at least in the physical sense is something I frequently forget to have. I'm generally comfortable with my body and don't really care if people look. There are however limits to what is acceptable even to me.

Example: There is one guy at my office who literally stares with his mouth hanging open every time I walk by. Now it's always nice to be admired but I do worry vaguely that he's going to drown himself in his own drool and then I'd feel guilty. Mostly I find it amusing but it really is a little rude. Also while admittedly the above outfit is somewhat provocative you've seen what I generally wear to work and it's not overtly sexy. Believe me when I'm trying to get a reaction you'll know.

Note: I took pity on the poor guy yesterday. Once I realized the non workness of the outfit I decided to avoid his gaze. The poor guy would probably have to go home to change pants.

Any way the skirt is from Victoria's Secret, The sweater from Express, the tank from Old Navy. You've seen em all before. I have several pairs of patterned tights and I'm not sure where I got this particular pair. It may have been from a company called foot traffic.

He he he

Alright I was looking for something else but this article made me giggle.
