From the fashion and beauty world today – a couple of things I wanted to draw attention to:

Jeans tucked into boots: Please make it stop! Very few people can pull off this look. If you know who you are you were probably wearing pants this way before this trend came around again. Just because About.com give you tips on making them stay put doesn’t mean it’s going to make you look good.

Pitch it or keep it: makeup. A good article on the different types of makeups, when to keep what and when to toss it – average shelf lifes etc:

Pant rant

I have the worst time finding pants that fit. I actually like low-rise pants but I also won’t tollerate pants that make me moon people at the same time. Most of my jeans have some spandex in them so they stretch a bit and with a belt this means that even though they are low-rise, they don’t go sliding down when I bend over.

Finding a pair of pants that fit my butt without being so high waisted they might touch my bra is quite a task. Even though the trend is low-rise jeans finally, they’re making these pants for people who have no butts and there is such a thing as TOO low (most low-low rise jeans are.)

I hear that waist bands are going to rise again this fall. Why do we have to go with a higher waist pant because we’re sick of seeing butt cracks, why can’t they just make the pants for REAL people? Train people on how to pick out pants too (stop buying them too small just because you want to say you wear a smaller size … it’s pushing flab you didn’t even know you had out of the top!)

Oh this pant rant WILL be continued!

Preppy Business Casual Outfit

I like this outfit but, because of the pattern on the shoe, would need to change out the sash for possibly a solid white fabric/ribbon or mauybe a brown leather belt. Current outfit total without accessories =$155+s/h
