What I Wore: Grumpy Old Gran

So this weekend was filled with lots and lots of activity. Grandma continues to be good. Ben and I went and visited her on Saturday. She was uncomfortable, and really tired. Every time she fell asleep, something beeped, or somebody came in and woke her up. I guess exhaustion makes my grandma a little bit xenophobic. Her nurse was a very nice older lady with an accent, and while she was explaining something to her, grandma turned to me and said “I don’t understand why they can’t get anybody who speaks English in this place.” I felt terrible for the poor nurse who was doing everything. I should have apologized when we left, but she looked busy, so I just thanked her. Lots of other stuff happened, this was a long weekend preceded by an even longer week. I had a lot of fun, but I’m actually a little glad to be going back to work.

What I Wore: All My Old Clothes

I was doing some manual labor around the office today, so I wore some old grungy clothes. One thing I have learned is that vans with no socks are not such a good on-your-feet-all-day-lifting-heavy-things shoe choice.

Sweater was bought on the street in San Francisco
Patches are from various places
Dead Kennedys Shirt patched with plaid fabric and was given to me by Katy’s little sister Shery;’s high school boyfriend. Forgot his name

What I Wore: Professional Muffet

This is the second outfit post in a row where I wore this dress. I really want it to be Spring. I mean, it is Spring, but it seems like I’m learning that Spring near the ocean means lots and lots of clouds, which is not what I think of as Spring. So I wear this dress and hope for flowers.

What I Wore: Second Verse

I’m pretty sure I’ve worn this or a version of this before. Oh well.

The photos where I’m showing my nails didn’t come out that great, and it’s a shame because they were this wonderful matte yellow that I was fairly proud of. I got it by combining Revlon Top Speed #305 Electric and Pop Nail Glam #33 de-glaze.

What I Wore: Fattest, Oldest Cheerleader at Earth Tone High

This outfit was incredibly fun to wear. I seem to be moving towards shorter skirts lately. That’s probably a good thing since it FINALLY feels like summer is coming.

What I Wore: Irish Woolfhound’s Tooth

I love painting my nails, but I often feel that after a few days of being painted, they get weak and brittle. I think this is because they don’t get enough air with all the varnish on top of them. So I’ve started only painting the top portion of my nail, leaving the beds to air out. I call it the half mast manicure. I think it works. My nails don’t feel weaker, but they still get to be pretty.

The way I achieved the manicure I have in this What I Wore is I painted a majority of the nail with Revlon 571 Posh (green), let it dry completely, then applied Sally Hanson Salon Effects 240 Check It Out (houndstooth) to the top of the nail, leaving a stripe of green exposed. I cut the nail strips in order to save as much as possible, but that meant losing the handy strip tab that separates the strip itself from the white backing and the clear cover. So if you’re not good at pulling near invisible clear plastic coverings off of sticky things with one hand, you may want to just let the extra go to waste for the benefit of your sanity.
