I accidentally set my alarm super early today, and didn't realize until after I had already showered (or else I totally would have jumped back into bed). So, I took the extra time to try out Linley's hair tutorial. I tried her upside-down curling for the pieces on the side of my face, but I couldn't do it right, so I just kind of gave up and curled it normally. And I kind of like the curls intact, so I didn't do the scrunching at the end. And my curling iron is smaller... so yeah, a lot of excuses to why my hair doesn't look as awesome as hers... but at least I tried!
I've had this shirt for a few years now, and I've worn it once or twice (but under a cardigan or sweater), because I used to think that it was too loud (so bright! so shiny!), but I'm totally loving it today... except for that darn side zipper that refuses to be tucked smoothly into my skirt. So no, that is not my muffin top. It's my zipper, I swear!
By the way, I just made the most amazing meatloaf last night. YUM.
Your hair looks beautiful. Those curls look so perfect!
ReplyDeleteAnd I really like the top, can't believe you've never worn it alone before! I love the color but I know what you mean about the side zipper - that's one of my biggest pet peeves with shirts! You still look gorgeous though. :)

ReplyDeleteAw, I love this look! Perfect holiday outfit. Thanks for mentioning the hair tutorial. I think I'm going to give it a try.

ReplyDeleteAlso? I think I have those exact same lit trees on my front porch. I recognize the pots :)
that shirt is gorgeous!! It looks so festive and cheery. i love that you're standing between such festive looking trees too!
ReplyDeletehaha i don't know what type of muffin tops look so pointy, but that zipper does sound like quite a pain.
I love the color of your tights. They pair nicely with the pink blouse. And your hair is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI agree with thedemuremuse, the shirt is so pretty and festive! And I think your hair turned out really good, what size curling iron did you use?

ReplyDeletelol! i didnt notice the zipper sticking out until you mentioned it. have you tried double-sided tape?

Your hair looks great in curls! Why don't you just perm it so you don't have to worry about curling it all the time?
ReplyDeleteI realize I really like that black skirt. The top is really nice and reminds me of Sailor Moon when she starts to transform. Anyway.
