Target Finds: a Makeup Story

I can be trendy, too!

I have always had a problem fitting in with current fashion trends.  It's not that I was oblivious to what the trends were.  It wasn't even that I didn't like the trends.  Rather, I look like a fool when trying to pull off most high-fashion looks. 

I guess I'm more of a classic beauty.  Yeah right.  That's just a nice way to say I'm too plain to pull of trendy.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered yesterday that there is ONE fashion trend I can pull off...the infinity scarf!!

I didn't even know I *wanted* to be able to wear an infinity scarf until I saw some in great spring colors yesterday at Old Navy.  I was killing time on my lunch break and decided to stop in.  I picked up a shirt for Jeremy, a white tunic for me, and this awesome pink infinity scarf.

And just because I could, I wore it to work today!  Check me out!

What are the next trends I should be on the lookout for?  And what do you think of my scarf?!  Leave me a comment and let me know!

Wordless Wednesday: Work in Progress

Banker's Hours & Manicure Mistakes

I started my new job today.  I am officially out of the restaurant business!!  I am now a banker, and so far I really like it.

To celebrate, I took myself to get a manicure on my lunch break.  Hey!  I haven't had a lunch break in 3 years!  So...my manicure was horrible.  He spent so long filing my nails that he was rushed to polish them.  That would have been fine, had I not chosen the most disgusting color.

The color is way too light and much too pink for my skin tone.  Still, it was nice to be able to step away from work for a while and take a break in the middle of the day.

I am looking forward to learning much more in the coming weeks and months.  It's such s great feeling to enjoy going to work again.

Cheers!

I am so excited about the changes taking place in my life right now.  I am in a really great place with a man who is the Love of my Life.  I am about to start a fantastic job.  I'm getting my life in order and for *once* don't have to struggle to make ends meet.

I'm so pleased that I came home tonight and had a champagne cocktail, whipped together by none other than Prince Charming himself.  (For some reason, the pic is posting wrong.  I'll attempt to fix it, but for now it just looks like I'm drunk posting!)

Cheers!  What's going right in your life right now?  Let's celebrate together!
