matchy matchy red squared

i ran out of my make-up/foundation/powder mineral stuff last week.

i'm feeling very imperfect in my face skin region.

what better to distract than by wearing bright reddish orange lipstick?

self high-five

i can't believe this is the outfit i'm wearing today,

when i finally take pictures it's because i have nothing to do

and when i have nothing to do i don't really care what i'm wearing...

so this outfit is not the best.

but it doesn't matter because we're talking about my new lipstick.

this is the 2nd lipstick i've ever purchased.

are you a lipstick wearer?

i'm kissing my muscle baby too much to wear lipstick or anything much more than chapstick.

also i feel silly when i have lipstick on

like i'm getting ready for a play

or that i want everyone to stare at my awesome lips.

(my lips aren't that awesome)

i'm more of an event lipstick wearer...like when i'm shopping.

anyway, here's the debut of christa wearing lipstick:

it's 'it girl' by sephora\

and

my pants match my lips=super awesome.

also, how come i never knew that sephora is like the most

fun place ever?

i could easily spend 4 hours in that store.

you get to try anything you want before you buy it!!

genius.

that's the only reason i bought this crazy color...because i tried it,

sent a pic to my friends and i got positive feedback

minus my husband but he's a boy, he doesn't know.

also,

i know, i know, you're super jealous.

wearing my new sweater...again.

i wish it was a nice sweater from a nice store.

i had a convo with my bff the other day about the fact that her

mother-in-law still has clothes and shoes from the 80's

that have lasted through decades.

decades people, decades.

not only have her pieces come back in style but they have lasted!

i buy new clothes every season.

(i'm not sure if this is want or need but, it still happens)

and about a thousand years ago

elaine mentioned that her black jbrand jeans were

still black after a year of use.

and that's when i set a goal to fit into and buy a pair of jbrand jeans.

and then there was a post on her

blog yesterday here

about buying a more luxe piece that will last years...it makes cents

(get it...get it...omg)

anyway, i've been thinking about this concept for the last

year or so...

i've been avoiding purchasing investment pieces

because i would like to reach my optimal

fitness level...but that's always a work in progress.

and if i wait till...whenever then i'm just waiting.

anyway my point:

i'm going to start getting investment pieces over the next year

and only supplementing my wardrobe

with low cost trendy pieces seasonally.

challenge excepted.

until then, i'm wearing my cheap sweater

that looks like i've had it for 5 years after about 4 weeks.
it mostly bums me out because

i loooove this sweater, if i could find an equal that's great quality

i would spend good money on it.

i'm having hair issues.
so i bought some of those stretchy headbands.

i don't actually think it will solve my problem but my hair looks dressy.

i really need to start taking more pictures of my outfits.

i've had some cute things on in the last few weeks

(if i do say so myself!)

but i lack the motivation to set up my tripod and click.

how was every one's halloween?

mine was great.

i re-created this:

into this:

i got my whole costume on clearance

and jj's jammies were the most expensive pair of jammies i've ever purchased.

ever.

i don't even spend that much on my jeans!

but what are you going to do, right?

he looks adorable in them

and they were the only red and white striped jammies

on the entire internet,
