It occurred to me the other day on the playground with my
baby that when it comes to looks – I’m really one extreme to the next. Now, as you know, I’m always in jeans but, on
the weekends, unless I’m going out to dinner or over to a friend’s house, I’m
wearing yoga leggings of some sort, a sports bra, and a tank with various top
layers depending on the temperature. I
wear 0 makeup & when I say 0, I mean, I don’t even wash my face. I found myself scoffing at another Mom who
was in a more coordinated form of my outfit but with full makeup and freshly
blownout hair waving in the breeze. She
was probably scoffing at me & thinking, “geez, just use a swipe of
concealer.” You know what, she’s
right. I’ve gotten pretty damn
lazy. I’m going to be 35 on Sat., I have
a closet full of gorgeous clothes & I’m literally sitting at the playground
in a shirt from 1990, yoga pants I’ve worn 2 days in a row, and last night’s
black eyeliner. Pathetic.
I’ve decided A) I’m going to wash my face pre playground on
the weekends and at the least even out my far from perfect skin tone with some
BB cream and B) (if I have time & am not literally just before or after an
actual yoga or barre class) maybe throw on a pair of jeans with a button down
or sweater.
In regard to stylish leisure/active wear - for my birthday I bought myself something that I have always
wanted. I am well aware some would argue
this trend has come and gone but I would argue in return when it is by Isabel
Marant, it will always be relevant and in fashion. I found these uber covetable wedge trainers
on sale (65% off) on the Outnet and just couldn’t pass them up. The
Bluebel style is the most paired down of all Marant’s trainers. The hidden wedge is less than 3 inches &
the details are subtle. The beige works
well for all seasons. They feel like
slippers and look super chic with a hint of ankle showing when worn with skinny jeans or worn with leggings
and a sweatshirt. I know I will live in them for many many months. Watch out playground
Moms, I’m bringing fetching back!
Here’s a snap of me at the playground with my munchkin last
week – mind you this really was before my Sunday barre class (hence my outfit) but, I washed my
face, put on some tinted moisturizer & I swear it did wonders for my mood & self confidence.
On Sat. I’m getting my makeup done courtesy of Edward Bess, a
line I’ve heard wonderful things about, but never tried. I’m excited to show you my birthday look
& share some reviews about the Bess products next week! This makeover will take place at that one
& only HYDE salon – can’t say enough good things about my friends
there! XO
