Fashion first… love the nude wedges that make me SO TALL. I have been looking for some like these for years. They were only $25 at some shoe store that I can't recall. The jewelry is from the Old Navy outlet, and I am obsessed with the green earrings that match the necklace. Can't WAIT to wear them!
Next up, in the beauty department, it was Buy-One-Get-Two-Free at Mastercuts. I got some awesome OPI nail polishes, two of which (the gray and the purple) I will send to my sister in Germany. I knew she wouldn't care if I did my nails with them... here are the mani's so you can see the true shades:
The polishes left to right are Austin-tastic Turquoise, It's All San Andreas Fault, and Alcatraz… Rocks.
The purple (Alcatraz…Rocks) was glittery and fun, but I took it off my nails because they smudged. The gray (It's All San Andreas Fault) is more wearable for day-to-day to me. The two polishes are from the "Liquid Sand" line of OPI. They dry to a matte finish. Here is a How-To link for applying and removing the Liquid Sand polish. Ya gotta have a base coat, and skip the top coat-- then to remove, hold the remover there for 30-60 seconds.
The Austin-tastic Turquoise needed THREE coats for true color pay-off, so I don't know if that's worth it to me. I like to do only a couple of coats for a nice opaque shade.
Also at Mastercuts, it was Buy-One-Get-Two-Free for the pink cans of bigsexyhair. I already know that I love me some of their Root Pump Plus and Spray & Play Harder, and I can't wait to try their Powder Play! I have been using the cheap-o Walmart version of Got2b Powderful Volumizing Styling Powder, which works great. The Got2b product was recommended in my go-to favorite book, How to Look Expensive by Andrea Pomerantz Lustig (former "Glamour" magazine beauty editor).
My husband got a pair of $20 jeans at the Old Navy outlet, and a $10 shirt at Greg Norman. I think we spent less than $150 and racked up!
Last, but not least, we treated ourselves to a dinner at Rainforest Cafe, and sat right beside the animatronics elephants. Super-fun! I loved the fish tanks.
Also, because I was proud of myself for styling this all together this morning, I'm including my Outfit of the Day (OOTD):
