I went MAC crazy.

Yesterday, my mom and I took my girls to the mall.  We decided to get our makeup done at the MAC counter at Macy's.  Normally, I'm a Clinque girl but I figured I'd branch out a bit.  Seeing as I'm trying to cultivate my style I figured some new makeup would help do the trick. I certainly hope so, considering I dropped a small fortune on it.  Plus, buying makeup just makes me feel pretty. 

I bought foundation (the palest they have- NC15), concealer in NW20, powder in Light, two different shades of eye shadow in Soft Brown and Swiss Chocolate, eye liner in Stubborn Brown, and some samples of the primer.  The sales lady swore that the browns would make my blue eyes "pop". 

I tried to watch and pay attention as she was applying the makeup (which was difficult to do as my two toddlers were running around and dancing like crazy people in the aisle) because I lack skills in the application department.  Hopefully, when I go to put it on tomorrow I won't completely muck up my face.  I guess, if all else fails, I can google tips for applying eye shadow, right? There's got to be a youtube video out there for someone like me. 

I need a style.

After reading my last post, I realize I don't really have a "style".  I'm sure Clinton and Stacy would have a field day with me.  I want to dress cute.  I want to look good for my age.  I want to have a sense of style.  I'm just not sure how to do all of that.  My "style" is casual.  My last post is a perfect example of what I wear on a day to day basis.  I'm trying to add some color into my wardrobe.  Hence, the rose colored t-shirt from Old Navy.  And I recently bought these Christian Siriano wedges from Payless.  But I feel like I'm losing the fashionista battle.  Ugh.  When the weather was cooler, I was rocking some skinny jeans and brown riding boots.  But it's March in Florida, and jeans and boots weather is pretty much gone until maaaybe, November.  So what's a girl to do?  Anyone have any tips? Or want to throw out some suggestions?  I should probably start scouring pinterest for ideas.  That place is a total time suck but I love it.  ::skips off to pinterest and polyvore::

Oh dear.

Should a 35 year old mother of two be shopping in the Juniors section of Kohls?  Probably not.  But I did anyway.  I found a cute pair of jean capri's.  Yes, they are Candies.  No, I'm probably not pulling them off.  Thankfully, they are stretchy so there is a little give to them.  Lord knows, I need a little give in my pants.  Ha!  I paired it with a rose colored plain crew neck t-shirt from Old Navy.  I also had a good make up day.  I *think* I look cute.  Excuse the crappy cell phone pic.  So what do you think? Should I stop shopping in the juniors section or what?  (Disclaimer: this is the first time I have shopped in the juniors section in eight years, so there's that.)
