OMG!! I was so excited!!!
After work, and after I got home my SO suggested I go out to the drugstore to get something for my cold . . .yeppers, I kinda stuffed up :( so, I decided to get dressed to for the short errand. . . All I needed to do was add some makeup and fem clothes after all ;)
I went to work underdressed as normal(have been doing that since new years :)). so, I decided to change into a nice black elbow tee, beige button down blouse, my hiphugger long flare jeans, and mary jane flats. See, 2 weeks ago, I got a nice perm . . . ooh so femme it felt so girly to be pampered at the salon ;) and I bought some femme prescription glasses too amongst other thins for my overall look. . .
so I had that going for me . . I pulled my newly permed hair back into a pony tail and decided to add a face to myself. . .
BTW -- here is a little shameless plug. . . Colortration is a miracle!! a tiny bit goes a long way and its true, it looks better the longer its on!! I wanted to try it so I ordered the sample pack and it works great for me . . . I just love the stuff, it covers the beard shadow wonderfully and looks natural and not heavy!!
With some blush, light eyeshadow and about 3 shades darker of nude lipstick . . .A shade I just love (L'Oreal #857 - Sunwash. . . I think it looks great on me :)) and a little lip gloss. Again simple but I like it. I grabbed my purse and was out the door :) Wife gave me a raised eyebrow as I left. . . I guess I musta looked good ;) or something.
I get to the drugstore . . .its not too far away. I felt so great being out . . .congestion and all. . . So I find my meds and scan the makeup Isle. . .had to do that of course!
So I needed to leave, after the SA rang me out. . . she handed me my bag of purchases and said.
"Have a good day, Ma'm!!"
OH I was sooooo excited!! Sure it was small but in some way . . I passed or blended. . . whatever the case, I was stoked.
What a boost of confidence through something so small.
I couldn't just go home so, I stepped into a small shop in the same strip mall. . . lots of girly stuff: purses, rings, bangles, jewelry. . .and other cute accessories and the like. . . really cute stuff. So, I had to pick up something there too :) So I bought a few rings, and some bangles. . . just small stuff as I really was just browsing to pad more time out :) Upon checkout, he SA there complimented me on the bangle I chose so that was neat too.
Just thought I'd chime in with a simple adventure that was a wonderful boost of confidence. Yes, I know it was nothing really grand but it was something fun.
sorry no pics :o
