Make-Up, Hair Don'ts Do's, And Evening Wear

I told you several posts ago about bathing suit shopping for my upcoming trip. (I promise I will tell you about the trip soon.)

I not only need a bathing suit, I also need some "dress-up" clothes.

And as I've mentioned before , since I am a stay-at-home mom, I don't get dressed up ever that often.

I don't even know where to begin shopping for dressy clothes, or as some people like to call them "Evening Wear".

The only places I usually buy clothes at are Target and Wal-Mart. And let's face it......if you're buying clothes and ground beef at the same time, chances are the clothes are not going to be dressy. I'm just saying is all.

My idea of "dressing up" is a pair of jeans that have been freshened up in the dryer with a sheet of Bounce that are clean and a shirt that doesn't have any mustard or dog hair on it.

Getting dressed up also usually requires a nice hair-do and make-up. As a general rule I only wear mascara and lip gloss, and I wear my hair in a clippie. I am not very good at applying my own make-up or fixing my own hair. No matter how hard that I try, I just never seem to get the look that I'm going for. My hair-do's turn into hair-don'ts, and I have never been able to make my make-up appear normal natural.



So anyway, my trip date is looming ahead of me and I am sitting here wondering, "What am I going to wear?"

I can't even seem to get motivated enough to go try any clothes on. (Maybe it's a little post traumatic stress from the last time I was in a public dressing room.)

If I wait much longer though, I am going to be in trouble. I don't want to wear just any old dress I see hanging in a store window.....do you know what I mean?



But...."I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow."
