Won't You Be My Neighbor?

I feel like I look like an old man today. If only I was wearing khakis and loafers, it would complete this outfit - unfortunately, I have neither. (adds to my wish list) Actually, it would probably look better if I had just went all out and dressed like an old man (complete with hair in my ears), instead of doing it only half-way.

banana republic cardigan, h&m polo, random f21 jeans

This gloomy weather is making my head hurt, what do I wear? It's not warm enough for summer clothes, it's not winter so I would look weird bundled up. Being a girl is hard. Haha.

To counter my semi old-man outfit, I decided to go very bright and very girly with my make-up: teals & blues brighten up my face, and subsequently, day.

This look actually took me longer than my normal 5 steps, but was still fun to try out. I used a light seafoam green in the inner corners of my eyes, then shaded out to a royal blue, and the outer corners have a rich, deep brown and some black. I find that with my shaped eyes, I can pretty much mess around with any colors in the center & inner corners, but in order for my eyes to look bigger, a darker brown / black on the outer corners is a must.

What are your staples in your make-up routines?

Day 2 hair = updos, so today I mixed it up: kept my bang down, braided the center portion of my hair, teased the crown, and wrapped it all up in a pony. I'm not sure if I like this look, but at least it's up and somewhat out of my face! The braid kinda looks like a headband, so that's cool - I'm not a fan of those fake hair headbands you can buy at a local store or mall...they kind of freak me out. Haha.
