Out with the Old, In with the New

I have a confession.

I might have too many clothes.

I never thought I would say that. Anyway, I have now decided that for every clothing item I buy I will either sell into consignment or donate an old one. To ensure I keep my promise I've decided to document it.

I don't normally buy anything from Wet Seal. I don't care for that store, it turns me off for some reason; however, ended up wandering in because I simply needed to kill time. I didn't expect to find anything and regretting going in as soon as I walked in but a girl who is in one of my classes spotted me and it turns out she works there so I felt rude just walking out. I stayed for a few minutes and then turned to walk out when I spotted when I spotted my favorite summer dress I've bought all year (which since it is only February and I hate buying clothes that I can't wear immediately isn't saying much, but still).

Here it is:

The low quality picture doesn't quite do the dress justice, but it gets the point across.

And here's the one I'm donating:

This dress was pre-weight loss, and I think I wore it for Easter two or three years ago. It's very simple and not a horrible dress but it doesn't fit, plain and simple. I honestly don't know why it's even still in my closet.

I think this project will do me well.

Put on a New Face

Over the past couple of years I feel like I have made a complete transformation.

I went from this awkward thing:

to this:

Okay, not the best picture, I was heading to working not long after and I did not feel like taking another one.

Well, unlike most people say you should do, I changed my outside and my inside followed. It worked out quite well if I do say do myself. I owe a big part of what I slowly became to the makeup I put on my face everyday. I hadn't thought about this through a website called bzzagent.com that tell is all about promoting new products and brands to its members suggested I joined activities for Covergirl's 50th Anniversary. They have a lot of promotions and contests taking place on Facebook which I would normally dismiss but it really made me think this time. I mean, I can't credit my whole life change to makeup, let's be realistic. I did a lot of maturing, I lost a lot of weight and change my entire wardrobe over time. It took a long time but I'm finally happy where I am.

Anyway, with all of this thinking going on I decided to take a before and after shot of myself within my makeup process to show just how transforming it can be.

Oh, how I love makeup.

Happy Anniversary, CoverGirl!

First Post: Sudden Realization

I have had blogs in the past but I always feel like I focused on the wrong matters. I focused on how many people were reading my material and that's not what I feel like this should be about. I don't care if anyone reads this.

This is for me.

I have to get all dressed up now to travel through five inches of snow to make my way to waitress a baby shower which was inexplicably not cancelled. Fingers crossed it's not a pointless day.
