SLICK CHICK

3-8-10 1

The word "slick" always comes to mind when I feel buttoned-up, yet street chic.  I guess that's how I felt today.  And seeing how I ended up having to work on my only day off (hmph), it's a good thing I felt so "slick."  Oh, yeah ... the 50° and sunshine didn't hurt.

I took this outfit for a trial spin during my 2 hours of work yesterday and decided it was worthy of a full day of wear today.  I often times use Saturday and Sunday to try out some new styles.  It makes getting dressed so much easier during the week when I have something in mind already.  Of course, the reverse it true, too - weekends are great days to repeat previous favorites :)

I painted on the red lips again today.  A couple of years ago, I wore them ALL the time.  Now that I'm revisiting them, I'm falling in love all over again.  For those of you who asked, this is a Revlon formula in Certainly Red.  I'm really picky about lipstick, and I LOVE this stuff!

Even though I had to work, I still had a fantastic Monday.  Hope you can say the same!

  16. Kyla....are you growing your bangs out? I'm sort of considering it- I'd usually cut mine now, but, I keep seeing everyone with theirs pinned back. I can't make up my mind I want someone else to choose. :)

    I can't get over those shoes, they are so great. They remind of of Elvis (in a good way)
