HERRO READERS! I was cursed with horrible hair. That's a lie. It's pretty, but I hate it. So I used to get the japanese straightening treatment, which made my hair too flat which is NOT flattering on my massive head. So now I get the brazilian treatment. Which is a miracle. Unfortunately, I can't get my hair wet for three days, and in this heat, that means no going outside either. I definitely follow closer attention to my stylist's orders than my doctors.

SOOO I'm actually in lounge clothes, and trust me, no one wants to see those. I am no charmer in sweats and glasses. I wore this sweet number to an art gallery opening over the weekend, and I ironically referred to it as my No, I Am Not The Work Of Art outfit. Although, honestly, the skirt and shoes are works of art to me. I would frame them if I didn't prefer to crawl up in a fetal position and nuzzle them instead. The porportions of this ensemble are difficult for me to pull off, because I do not have a model body, however with a few tweaks, it ended up looking fabulous. The shirt half tucked in, the black band compliment my waist, the long skirt making my legs look long, and the open toe booties to remind people that yes, I have skin and I am willing to show it. As shocking as it may be, I kept the jewelry pretty simple which still involves a violent looking ring. I finished the look off with a cat eye done with wet navy shadow and a pale pink highlighting shimmer. I may or may not have tried out a top knot. I may or may not have looked like a jackass.

FRIDAY, FRIDAY, FRIDAY: It's couture week! I'm so excited!! It was AMAZING. It's like if I were a drug addict, and all my favorite dealers decided to showcase the drugs somewhere, and I'm allowed to look at them and maybe touch them but I can't have them. Wow...that doesn't sound amazing. Cause then I'd start to feel like my blood itches and I'll just die if I can't have it...yep, actually that's exactly what couture week is like. And in honor of couture week, I'm going to wear (drum roll please)...a reasonably priced cotton dress. 

SOOO this dress is not couture. But it's okay, because the cut is gorgeous and fashion forward AND I threw in some sparkly pieces to snazz up my I Wish I Could Afford Real Couture outfit. Yep. I said snazz. The blazer is metallic and you know how much I love me some metallic. Especially a conservative piece. It's like a business shape, but party fabric. It's the mullet of fashion pieces. The rose gold earrings are beautiful and timeless and SO SPARKLY!!! Did someone mention sparkly? Cause the clutch is a sparkle fan's dream come true. It's like a disco ball in my hand. It's like a glitter monster threw up on a bag. It's like a small constellation of stars. It's like better than sex. And so, because I have blindingly glitterific ears, hands and torso, I kept the shoes and makeup simple. The booties are my go to black boots. They go with everything. The simple nail polish and lipstick keep the palette pretty neutral so you can focus on my earrings and clutch! They're like buckets of diamonds! They're like the sun and the moon! They're like my hopes and dreams manifested! Okay, I went overboard. I just really like sparkly things.
