Hilary — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 01:53:05 +0000

I did actually have fun with this this month even though it wasn’t something I would really wear. My first makeup video (wait, I may have done one other before…) and I know I need to try and keep things shorter and ramble less next time.

Updating the blog a little here and a little there

Hilary — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 01:52:38 +0000

You might have noticed something new. A floating bar with social sharing. Pin to Pinterest, or share on Twitter or Facebook. I’m still tweaking and refining this and I also plan on giving the site a new look hopefully soon (but who knows, this comes second to my real job.)

Neons & Neutral

Hilary — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 03:37:26 +0000

I’ve recently been noticing I’m liking neons and neutral’s on pinterest.

It might have something to do with recently buying Zoya’s “Lo” and it being a lot brighter than I expected.

But I like it a lot. Especially with outfits that involve my leopard ballet flats.

Some recent business outfits

Hilary — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 03:10:06 +0000

I recently snagged some new Chico’s pants (3 pair) when they went on sale for a day so I’ve been dressing up a bit more than usual. I know it sounds odd but I’m a jeans fan. Let’s start with the pink (I’m surprised pink worked on me), khaki and gold sort of look:

Chico’s Cavalry Twill Palazzo Pant | Chico’s Silky Top
J Crew sweater (similar | similar) | Nine West shoes (similar)

A close up of the shoes:

And then last Tuesday I ended up wearing purple, black and grey. Photos aren’t as good as those above because I was taking them really quick and only snapped three:Chico’s Sweater | top from TJMaxx | Ralph Lauren necklace from TJ Maxx | Chico’s Magique Flare Leg Trouser Pant | Cap Toe Ballet Flats are Payless Claire Scrunch Flat dexflex by DexterBy the evening I was calling the ruffles on this shirt “tentacles.” I also didn’t realize until recently when I grouped them in the closet that I have no less than 5 shiny, silky, satiny shirts. I really don’t know how that happened. Anyway – hopefully it will give you some ideas on pants based business attire that doesn’t involve a suit or dress. So tell me, on the things I tried to find similar matches, did I do ok?

What I wore today – argyle in the snow

Hilary — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 01:11:37 +0000

Today I’m wearing more for practicality between the freezing cold (20′s!) and a chiropractic appointment (wanted to feel the short massage without a bulky sweater.)

So I’m layered with:
- a plain black long sleeve tee (origin unknown)
- argyle sweater; Merona thifted
- jeans; walmart’s faded glory (no I don’t really like shopping there but love this pair of jeans)
- boots; leather uggs I’ve been wearing for around 4 years & purchased half price at TJ maxx (I just change the inserts for $20 each year and re-waterproof)
- car coat; Macy’s I think
- broach; grandmother’s

Gorillapod and a glif means now I can take more photos faster so I might be doing this more often.

What I wore today – Jan 11, 2012

Hilary — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 03:19:28 +0000

I’ve been loving these leopard ballet flat’s I picked up on sale after Christmas at Kohl’s. I had been eyeing them for awhile but had them on my Christmas wish list so I had resisted buying them.

And the shirt, it’s not something I would normally pick up because of the bow and the waistband that makes it look tucked in. I liked wearing it though and it’s uber comfy too.

As a side note: have you ever had an article of clothing that you love and wear often and then you see a pic of yourself in it and go “eeee they do this weird thing here…. That’s not flattering.” Well I think in all the years I’ve owned them, the brown pants have never been photographed. And I took a lot of pictures today before I got one where the crotch area doesn’t look strange. They’ve gone from favorite pants to “errr maybe It’s time to go pants shopping.”

Revlon “powder puff” nail polish

Hilary — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 03:00:50 +0000

Not the best nail painting going on in the photo but I think it’s a really fun color. A matte white with a hint of something else (blue? shimmer? I can’t figure it out.) It reminds me of snow though.

Confetti Masquerade Ball & Wet N Wild Sparked {nails}

Hilary — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 22:55:23 +0000

Anyway I was aiming for a wine color but it’s not quite as perfect as I wanted. This is more the shade I wanted: http://dillydallas.blogspot.com/2011/11/nail-inspiration.html

But I like the idea of a pop of pink sparkle on top of the wine color. There was a dress that was inspiration for this pink and burgundy combo but now I can’t find that link that. Oh well.

So here we have Confetti in 041 Masquarade Ball & Wet N’ Wild in 435G Sparked. I think I want to try this with something that has a bit more red purple to it like a cabernet. Somehow this turned out looking less red than I had hoped.

I did just a quick swipe of the glittery pink on each nail and didn’t cover the whole thing and like how that looks.
