SEC Day #9: Just Peachy Style

I'm losing momentum. I know this. But at least most of the clothes I own are cute so I look halfway decent even when I choose not to give any craps.

And nothing says "I don't give a crap" like Ugg boots.

I still love them, fuck the haters. That doesn't mean I actually think they're fashionable.

Also, this shirt makes me feel fat. Though, that could just be my diet of Cheetos and chocolate.

I can't fucking wait for 2013.

SEC Day #7: Half-Assed Style

I could not bring myself to give many fucks today.

I got up early to take my Tree in to the vet, then ran to the grocery store and back home to take a quick shower and prettify. But I did not feel like being pretty. I came close to wearing a sweatshirt and leggings, and barely put on makeup.

So, NO FACE PIC FOR YOU. Hah. Yeah. I know, you're disappointed.

SEC Day #6: Pretty in Pink Style

Oh yeah. I'm going for two weeks in a row. BAM.

Okay, yes. I didn't do anything to my hair today, except wash it and put it up. But that's because I really, desperately need a hair cut, and since I didn't make it up to SB this weekend I need to find someone in LA for the first time. Until then, not wearing my hair down, because the ends look like straw. Straw I say.

I did, however, paint my face. So there was some effort.

You know what needs more effort, though?

My style posts. These photos suck. I'm sorry.

You don't care.

SEC Day #5: Sexy Secretary Style

We have an all-day meeting going on today, for which I am, of course, in charge of food, and beverage, and being reception-y.

So I tried to dress like a professional.

HAH.

My shirt has a collar. That's all I got.

SEC Day #4: Comfy Cute Style

Oh man, this morning was rough.

I took a shower (YAY CLEAN HAIR), then put on the outfit I had planned out yesterday.

And I felt strangely rotund.

And then I lost my mind.

See, I have a date tonight (more on this later), and my plan was to wear my date outfit to work. So confronted with a sudden change in plans and I got a wee bit frazzled. I tried on like, nineteen things (sidebar: nineteen is my go-to random high number of choice, weird) and none of them made me feel date-ready. Ultimately I just threw on one of my most tried and true, comfy cute dresses, something I've owned since college. I basically feel like I'm wearing pajamas, but I look somewhat respectable.

Something of note: I'm wearing this dress backwards, 'cause the neckline on the front has sequins, but the lace cardy is sheer so my back is SPARKLY. HAH.

ALSO: This morning's closet explosion resulted in a lack of time to do anything with my nice, clean hair. So it's air-drying in its normal lion's mane way.

AND: I only took one quick pic and you can't even really see what the dress looks like cause, dur, I had the cardigan on already.

As penance for today's poor showing, I'll do another post tomorrow with whatever my date outfit happens to be.

The dress is green. If you couldn't tell.

No facial expression, because
any attempt resulted in
WRINKLES.

SEC Day #3: Lazy Lady Style

I was going to wash my hair this morning...

Then I snoozed my phone. And again. AND AGAIN. And again...

And then I didn't have time.

So there's some sort of bun situation going on on the back of my head. Gorgeous.

Then I could not decide what to wear, and finally decided to try my floral pants that were too tight on me last time I wore them. Still tight, but not horrifyingly so, and I decided to suck it up and wear them even if they were slightly uncomfortable.

Thirty five minutes into my workday and I discovered the zipper broke.

Now I am shamed, and sad.

And I will never eat again.

I'm such a sexy piece of ass.

SEC Day #2: 70s Chic Style

Two days in a row.

BAM.

I'm hot as shit.

I do need to figure out what to do with this mop on my head. First of all, I really need a trim, so that's one thing. But I'm trying this thing now where I only wash my hair 2-3 times a week, and I never like to wear my hair down two days in a row because it feels dirty...I need some new dry shampoo, I guess. But it's always like, awful bun, or headband, or something.

Anyway.

It's Ponytail City today.


In case you're wondering, "Gee, what is
she posing with?" that would be a lint roller.
Sexy.

SEC Day #1: Jungle Style

Remember a few weeks ago when I mentioned the idea of doing a "self esteem challenge", wherein I actually put effort into my appearance and do something with my hair besides a messy bun?

Well, I'm fucking doing it.

Or at least, I did today. I took a shower. And did shit to my headsuit. And gave a crap.

We'll see how long it lasts.

As evidenced by thousands of words of bitching and moaning, I have not had the best time of it lately. Oftentimes, I am a cranky, self-critical, fatty-feeling mess. But you now what's funny? My mood and my self-perception are 100x better when I, you know...feel pretty.

Funny how that works.

Peacock and leopard...I'm in a JUNGLE TODAY.
The headscarf only lasted maybe 32 minutes.
