from the things that i have been eating to my long absences on this blog i know that it if officially fall. i tend to go into hibernation mood. what does that mean for dear old charlie? it means i sleep at 2 or 3 in the morning, wake up only when needed but make sure i have two hours to actually get up and get productive. and when i am working on a project i get super invested to the point i don't realize my back is starting to ache or that i am neglecting other things...other important things like keeping a healthy diet and um, hello, my blog!?
what have i been working on? well, other than going to work (which is where the title of this entry comes from. one word=kids) i finally cleared out the basement and turned it into a makeshift studio, with my sewing machines, clothing rack, and all. i even went to home depot, picked up some wood and gorilla glue, and built myself a tapestry frame. and from that you should have concluded that i have been back at work. working on a tapestry and trying to mass produce some simple design tanks for a benefit event. whether or not i will be able to finish everything? let's let time and my currently nonexistent willpower against my hibernation habit answer that question.
but as i have opened up this entry, it is officially fall weather and what do i begin to notice? well, the pet peeves: girls wearing cute, chunky sweaters, relaxed white tees, their summer cutoffs and then BAM without the transitional tights knee high or OTK boots. especially the ones with some heel, gah. hello? you look strange! it is totally awesome to take your pieces from season to season but just like the seasons we need some transition. you can't have the best of both.
other than this and a few others i have noticed my hibernation habit take control of my styling choices. inevitably lots of black, but i seem to be living in my black skinnies and black laceless wingtips, just alternate between black tees, grey tees, and an assortment of knit sweaters and button downs and there's my outfit of the past week. it's weird because in the morning i'll put on something cute. for instance, today i put on a camel colored knit sweater tucked into my high waisted polka dot linen shorts, sheer pantyhose, and my almond toed, heeled ankle boots and of course because iam always colder than necessary, my camel colored blazer jacket. cute right? (just picture it) nope! i took everything off and threw everything on the bed, reached for my black tailored work pants, a black knit sweater, my Steve Madden leopard print loafers, my bronze spike studs, the same blazer jacket and that was it.
on my way back from work i was asking myself, wait, wasn't i wearing something cuter?
but, and here is my point, because i am aware of what the colder seasons do to me, i have another habit, a better habit that actually helps me. i don't drink enough water throughout the day. i also have an insanely cold room and so my lips are chapped and cracked as can be in the fall/winter. therefore, i balm up every night and every morning and almost every thirty minutes. and to make sure my lips stay silky smooth?
i add a little color. some lipstick action. i have found that putting some color on the lips actually exentuates all the cracks in your chapped lips. i know weird right? why would you want that? that is essentially my point. i don't want that and therefore i try harder to keep my lips as presentable as possible. load up on those EOS egg lip balms because these colors are totally fab and will cheer up your tired filled faces and spruce up, if you are like me, your all black ensembles:
talk about drama! i mean i hate drama, any kind. small, big, significant, trivial...oh except Korean dramas. love those. but this color is just so great for the fall. iam wearing color 425: Plum Paradise by Maybelline.
i know you can't see how marvelously bright this color is but just stop by the Maybelline section of any drug store and look up color 515 Coral Crush. seriously, talk about a transitional piece. it's like bringing the summer lights, glimmer, fun, and party all in one!
last but def not the least, this color, i know, can look really drab but it's just beautifully romantic. i don't really like sparklies in my lip wear but a little never hurt especially when it's mixed with such a great mauve. maybe that's why they call it On the Mauve, color 445 by Maybelline.
so what habits do you guys fall into this time of year? and why do i always want mac and cheese this time of year?
charlie.
