♥ The musings of an impoverished fashionista ♥

So, went for dinner tonight with family. It was fun. I feel like a beached whale now. Here is what I wore to din dins (Don’t worry, I haven’t been decapitated – My face just doesn’t behave in photos):

Red T-shirt dress with navy blue bits – Charity shop
Leggings*- Next

Here is outfit in action:

Blue heels – New Look (Cringe! I live in a town where the ONLY clothes store is New Look. Or Charity Shops of course. Plenty of those)

Here is the little brooch I’m wearing in closer detail:

Diamante Elephant Brooch – Hand-me-down from the mother. She used to live next door to this gay guy in the 80’s that made junk jewellery & he used to give her loads of bits and bobs. It blings more in real life!

Beauty Recommendation

Benefit Benetint

My darling boyf bought me this for my birthday. It is a lip and cheek tint. It is not cheap (£22.50) but it is good. You pop it on like nail varnish for the cheeks. I find Benefit’s packaging and advertising of their products really make you feel like you NEED to own them. God. I really am a marketer’s wet dream! It’s pathetic!

I took a before and after pic but the difference is not v obvious due to crappy phone cam. See for yourselves:

At death’s door:

Naturally rosy and full of life! And £22.50 out of pocket! Well, Alex is!

Off to bed now. going to a car boot sale tomorrow morning! I wonder if i’ll find any treasures…

* – Leggings. I have very mixed feelings about them. They really do have to be ankle length (preferably a bit lower than ankle) or they’re just ghastly. Those knee length jobbies?! If I wanted to make my legs look 1 foot shorter I’d just use a hacksaw. It’d probably be easier to wear the leggings, actually but whatever. The long & short of it (excuse the pun! ho ho ho) is that knee length leggings are offensive to my eyes.
