The LBD seemed to be something no closet could be without, so in December I bought two - finally wore the featured one on Easter Sunday. Not real fond of anything that comes above my ankles (thanks to really ugly legs with all these really ugly veins) so yes those are panty hose! Now I’m not even sure if they sell those horrible things anymore - the ones I’m wearing would no doubt be considered vintage since they’ve been in my “I don’t use this stuff but I might need it” drawer for at least eight years. Replaced the plain black belt with the light weight scarf that not only had the same color as the short waisted jacket, but also the bag (aka purse)that I happened to have all my stuff in that day.
Added the black low heels, my diamond cross necklace, emerald ring & it was off to church!
Sara, being the makeup junkie that she is, always tells you how she created her look and gives you a close up of that gorgeous face. WELL there will be no close up of this face and as to my makeup routine… get up in the morning, shower at which time I wash off the previous days makeup with a wash cloth & no soap.
Once out of the shower, a splash of as cold of water on my face as soon as possible (wakes you up & is suppose to close your pores or something) and pat dry.
Then it’s makeup time…cover my face & neck with Mario Badescu (don’t make me pronounce it) Chamomile Night Cream (when you’re this old night cream is necessary as a moisturizer & Sara said it was okay), Cover Girl & Olay Simply Ageless Foundation; a little (very old) Clinique Sheer Powder Blush called “Sugar Plum”, and Maybelline Stiletto Mascara. If I really don’t want to look washed out, I add a lipstick that will last ALL day cause you can bet I will not be reapplying anytime soon.
