What was that?! Shut up wind!
Still not wearing makeup. Also, not really going out of the house, not because of my makeup free face but because it’s fricking ridiculous out there! Flash flood warnings all over the place and high winds up the wazoo! I did go to Starbucks (as you can see) though, but that was after pacing in front of the door for a few minutes trying to decide if it was safe or not. It wasn’t, but I went anyway. Such is addiction.
I did figure out how to distract from not wearing makeup: Big faux glasses and a cute headband. And an awesome poncho. Man do I love ponchos (I’m not kidding). Seriously, it all totally distracts. I think the glasses beg to be looked at instead of my mascara-less eyes as does my headband which features very cute buttons sewn on to it.
I wish I could say I made it, but I didn’t. I adore crafts and the thought of doing crafts but I never seem to complete any craft projects. Or begin very many. I bought the headband from the crafty store redvelvetart.com. If you’re inspired by the super cute-osity of the store you should follow one of the owner’s blog A Beautiful Mess. It’s full of daily inspiration in fashion, makeup and life. Elsie, the girl who writes the blog/owns Red Velvet Art, is ultra adorable.
Anyway, back on to the not wearing makeup subject, once I found things that I thought kind of drew away attention I felt better about myself and being seen (though I was mostly only seen by my family and my barista today). Wearing no makeup could be fun once in a while, just to give myself, my skin and my napping pillow a break, but it makes me feel less secure about my looks. And I already have enough typical 23-year-old angst about that subject, I don’t need to add to it. I feel the need to mention my mother said she couldn’t event tell I wasn’t wearing makeup. Awwwwww! But then again she needs glasses to read just about anything. And her glasses were conspicuously absent when she said that. Hmmm …
I’ll leave you with this, one, a picture of me looking perturbed in my car out in the rain:
Don't worry, I was at a stop light. But look how dark it is outside! It was only like 5 pm!
Annnnnnd one more picture of me in my distracting accessories:
Poncho time!
Hey makeup, now that I’ve had a taste of life without you let’s get back together real soon, ok? Say hi to your mother for me.
Now off to read a book! Crossing my fingers the power doesn’t go out…
