THE NAILPOLISH EXPERIMENT: I had a darker blue and a sky blue to choose between at Walgreen's, and I'm sort of wishing I chose the darker one. I got the Revlon Bright Sky polish, and even with 3 coats, it's not opaque, leaving me with kind of a weird look. A pale white woman like me needs an opaque blue, I think. This color would look AWESOME on a black woman with a medium to dark skin tone, though.
Today, I'm going back to Walgreen's to see if I can do an exchange. They had a disappointingly small number of options in the blue family, though, so I may end up having to go to Sephora at the mall, which will take up my entire lunch break.
This weekend, I am planning a critical tear through my wardrobe, throwing out mistake items that I never wear, or should never wear. On a recent business trip, I survived just fine with one suit, 2 blazers, and a few camisoles, so there's really no need for me to hold onto a huge wardrobe of items that make me look awful, or that I'm hoping to fit into at some point.
As I exercise more and lose a little bit of weight, I'm realizing that this process might not make me fit into pants/shorts I wore a couple years ago, because exercising doesn't just make you skinny, it builds muscles. Basically I'm finding that I'm finally growing an ass. That's a good thing, and I should be tossing (or donating) my old items with a smile. I don't know how much I am going to accomplish, because my husband and I have a lot planned for this weekend, but I'm going to get started!
