Casual Almost-Friday

I'm not at the office today, and I'm actually doing some heavy lifting and laborious type of things instead.  Since that still means going out of the house, I still deferred to my quick morning arsenal of products to make me look just a tad less sleepier than normal.  My favorite is the Wei lipgloss right after the How 'Bout Them Apples cheek stain and Benefit's Pore No More; they are all genius mini-things that are up to the task.  The other items are just some simple sights from today. I should have more later; my icloud isn't syncing and it might have to do with me avoiding the latest ios update...

Silver Knot Over Layers

I apologize for the super blown-out pics today- the sun is not a cooperative fellow and that doesn't even touch the surface of how freaking cold it is out there right now!  I am wearing a favorite dress (with pockets!) from Next UK, and instead of layering something under like usual, I layered a Moda sweater Over. I know, genius! Why didn't I think of this before?  Since the sweater is a big on the loose side, I grabbed a skinny belt and created a silver knot over layers.  I have some hefty silver accessories on my wrists (lovely bangles) and my bird ring, but chose a simple little pearly bow necklace so it didn't compete with the silver knot. All with black tights and lady-like brogues.  I don't like the hair clip, but nothing else will hold my thick hair.  Problems, problems.
