Monday, I had the headache I had managed to put off during the weekend. Saturday and Sunday, I did have to pop a couple of Imitrex, but survived. I am wearing the "Yes on Prop 19" t shirt I bought at the bookstore at Oaksterdam U. Awful jeans, they are going into the Goodwill bag, I think they are Target. And suede Doc Martens MJs.
Tuesday I felt better, and of course, that meant shopping. Goodwill this time, and I picked out a great deal of stuff for $31 and change. My spending still sucks, because I am no longer limiting it to Goodwill, though. :(
The top is NY & Co., a turquoise empire top that is distorted by my hips. The fabric has a kind of gather all over it, you can kind of see it. Textured fabric is supposed to de-emphasize a lack of waist, and I have to admit, it almost looks like I have a waist in this picture. The skirt is Costco, and I keep almost giving it away. But it is like a pair of jeans. I see it hits my legs in a horrible spot, so into the Goodwill bag it goes. The shoes are some black penny loafer mules. The hairband was some excessive shopping I did in beauty supply store.
I got that headband in black and ivory. It has an embossed fabric overlay, and a flower pouf-thing. I am into flowers and pouf at the moment. I also got a pretty claw clip (it doesn't have that butterfly hinge that is so awful), and a fuzzy ponytail holder. Then I bought what I actually went in there for: One of those dye wands for touching up your roots, and a waxing kit. The wand works pretty well, but it is a little more work than I expected. It lasts between washes, you can get it wet, but not soapy. The waxing kit I was going to try tonight, but decided against pulling hair out of my face while I had a headache. I still have a mask to do tonight, I am girly-girling out. BUT, my skin has been beyond fantastic. In fact, I haven't touched the spot zit treatment in days.
I am nervous about the waxing kit. I have an eyebrow pencil just in case.
Okay, so Wednesday, I was punished for my profligacy (Goodwill finds are coming up). I was so sick, it was one of the all day ones, where you basically writhe because there is no escape in any position, or with any home remedy. So no picture.
Thursday I didn't feel great, but I had to get to the supermarket to pick up our meds, DH was about to totally run out. You've seen that shirt before, in a variety of colors. I wore the black one on Friday. I look like shit in general, and those are the same awful jeans. That is an old Target purse, and the shoes are pink and white mules, also from Target.
Yesterday, I wore new black knit pants I got Tuesday. They are knit, but structured (they zip up the side), so they look like nice pants, not my usual knits. The black shirt version of the pink-y shirt above, and a red Ann Taylor sweater coat (not the full length time). It is one of my favorite pieces of clothing, although to be honest, it is over-sized. I like how it looks though. I wore a pair of black skimmers (how many pair of black shoes do I own?). I wore my black hairband, and the necklace I had purchased at Eni-thing, which matched earrings I had purchased a month or so ago.
Today was an awful day. DH had a seizure, I woke up with a vomit inducing migraine, and the gardeners were here, so Violet was shrieking all day. After throwing up a few times, I remembered I had just gotten Imitrex shots on Thursday, so I took one of those. I also used a very strong Indica, "Burgundy Goo," which helped me eat something, and took away another layer of pain.
I have spent the day in pajamas, although I ran out to talk to a GOTV guy. Violet was going insane, and I said, "Violet, be nice, he's a Democrat," and he laughed. I am voting straight Dem as always. I used to split my vote, but no more.
So now we are going into one of my purchase lists, so hang on. These boots are the highest heel I can wear, but the stacked heel saves me. Ironically, I couldn't have worn them before my surgery, because my left foot was too mis-shapen.
They are definitely special occasion only.
This top is navy, and is super cute. It can be layered, and looks really cute with jeans and boots (I have a lot of boots, at the moment):
As much as you can say I am need of a particular type of clothing, blouses are it.
I used this purse Friday night when DH and I went out to eat.
This is a really cute, compact purse, I think the boa trim is visible in this pic. Again, more of a dress item.
I bought this lamp and lampshade separately. The base is actually off-white, and I am still deciding whether to pain the metal part. It is kind of incongruous, but our bed frame was jerry-rigged, we have an Eames era wrought iron bed, which is not standard size. It has a bit of an industrial look: We bolted it together, planning to paint the bolts black, but decided we liked the contrast.
So six items for $30 is not the best bargain I have knocked out, but the boots were over a third of that. The lamp was $2 total.
So that is what I bought on Tuesday.
