Just For Fun

Are you a grown woman? Are you a lady? Do you know what should you not wear? Well for fun here are some tips from about dot com about what a grown woman should never wear.

1. Overalls
Overalls belong on a farm. Period. They don't flatter anyone, and there are much better ways to look down-home sexy (a checked shirt tied at the midriff is a better start).

2. Pigtails
Plastic surgery, not pigtails, is the only way to go if you successfully want to shave 20 years off your face: pigtails on anyone well out of their teens just looks like a pathetic attempt at girlishness. A single ponytail, on the other hand, is considered almost universally flattering on women of all ages.

3. Knee socks
Oh, you can wear knee socks: just as long as you keep them out of sight under pants. Knee socks with miniskirts are adorable on teen girls and children, sad on real women. Instead, opt for sheer hosiery, opaque tights or fabulous (faux) tanned bare legs.

4. Tie Dye
Unless your child gives you a handmade tie-dye shirt, let the skaters and noveau hippies give this look a try. On the other hand, patchwork pieces -- bags, skirts, hats -- seem to always look adorably bohemian and crafty for anyone.

5. Rabbit Fur
If you must wear fur, please at least stick with a mammal that's not likely to wind up as the family pet. And nothing's more ridiculous than brightly colored rabbit fur. A better bet is something wonderful and faux.

Now my question is, how do I know it is a rabbit fur? Hummm. I actually fancy myself just this wearing wearing an overalls especially when it is cold. I don't pose as a San Jose motorcycle accident attorney at home so I can wear them, right?

Colour Your Day

I am not the typical office girl who wears brown, black, grey, white or any dull colour. I love pastel and light colours and I wear them for work.

Do you want to wear colours as well? Here are some faves according to about dot com.

Violet
Why We Love Violet: A little bit of purple, a touch of blue: this flattering hue is soft enough to work on any complexion but vivid enough to brighten features.
Best Way to Wear It: Violet looks great in cozy knits like sweaters and scarves, and as a bright alternative for cocktail dresses. Violet works perfectly with dark neutrals, so it's ideal as a color pop under a black, gray or navy jacket.

Bright Blue
Why We Love Bright Blue: Sure, it's bright and bold, but blue is such a wearable color for most skintones that it works (unlike other brights like lime green).
Best Way to Wear It: Bright blue makes a great after-five color, especially when it's done up in shiny fabrics. But it also works for everything from basic tees to wool coats. Bright blue is also the perfect accent color for accessories.

Deep Purple
Why We Love Purple: A rich jewel tone, deep purple flatters everyone from dark skin tones to fairer skin.
Best Way to Wear It: Don't save deep purple just for colder months (although it looks rich in the fall and winter). A darker shade of purple adds a jolt of sophistication to work wear (pair a purple blouse with a pencil skirt) and casual wear (purple goes great with denim.

Teal
Why We Love Teal: Redheads, blondes and brunettes: all look fantastic in this yummy shade of blue-green.
Best Way to Wear It: On it's own teal makes a delicious rich color, but it's even better as a print (especially paisley.) Pair teal with neutrals like chocolate brown or camel for a polished mix.

Burgundy
Why We Love Burgundy:Perfect for drama, this deep red shade of wine (also called maroon) is a show stopper for evening wear.
Best Way to Wear It: Mix burgundy pieces with luxe prints (brocades, paisleys, silk stripes) for a regal look. Opt for career separates using burgundy as a neutral (mixes with colors like charcoal gray and olive).

Magenta

Pink


Blush

Bronze

Coral

These colours are not hard to find. They are like thebest diet pill, you can find when you dig deep. My fave is pink and coral and blush.. and all.

More Bags

I still haven't found my ideal sling bag. And what would be that elusive thing? Something that I can use for work and casual but it is primarily my desire to have it for our trip to Sydney. I want to be handsfree with my bag and enjoy taking photos. And then Faye, dropped on my other blog. I didn't know that she was the Faye whom my fellow blogger are buying their bags. I dropped at her home and found this among her loots.


It seems not big enough but they are pretty. I asked her the price. I hope I can afford it. I like bags but I have limits as to how much I would spend for a bag or for a wrinkle cream for that matter. Bags, bags, bags and more bags. I thought, I'm over this addiction. Hah!

On Behavior

The quizzes I take online are sometimes close to home, sometimes too off tangent. Just like this one.

You Are a Hybrid

You're the type of person who worries about doing the right thing. You're very conscientious. You care about the world and the effect you have on it. You consider your actions carefully. Doing the right thing makes you feel good. It's who you are, not what you have, that makes you happy. You make rational decisions and think about all aspects of your actions. You don't act rashly.

What Type of Car Are You?

Well, I think I just deviate in the latter part but I could also be that but I am just not aware of it. Anyhoo, taking quizzes online are fun, helps you relax. Just like sitting on your patio furniture on a summer day sipping icy cold drink.

Currently Bidding

on three items in ebay. I actually don't need these items. It's just sheer impulse that I did. But imagine, they are all bags of almost the same tone. Where am I going to use them? I've been asking myself that several times already. I can't remember vividly what motivates me to shop. My brain needs a computer memory upgrade so it will be back to frugal mode. I know, it's really not practical but I can give them away as gifts. Christmas is just less than 5 months away. They'll be handy, what do you think? I've been convincing myself that.

This is one of them. I hope I will like it.

Hair Do

Having long hair requires maintenance and I think skills inorder to get a good do if you don't want to look boring. And that's my problem. I don't really have hair styling prowess to make my hair looks good everyday. But as much as possible, I try to make my hair look different, I mean my hair style that is.

And I like Jen's look above. It looks simple hey, it's not easy to get that. Maybe, I need to visit a salon. Whew! Thank goodess I just worry my hair now my weight. As much as I know the best diet pills work, it needs ones courage to turn to them.

And you would think, I'm a Jen Aniston fan. Oh, yeah!

Messenger Bag

I've been wanting a messenger bag that I can use to work or casually. It's just too hard to find something nice but not dear as well. I have this ideal messenger bag (Ralph Lauren) that cost more than a week of my salary and that's not wholesale price yet. Hah! I've been searching, window shopping and all. For now, I like this one but not in a hurry to buy.

I'll look more in the coming days. I'm not in a hurry to buy one in the near future yet. I'm looking forward to using it on our Christmas Holiday in Sydney.

I Work on Hitting 100%

You Are 94% Thankful

You're an incredibly thankful person, and everyone around you feels very appreciated. You inspire people to be more optimistic, forgiving, and grateful.

How Thankful Are You?

I myself would admit first that I am not thankful almost all of the time. And Mcj said, I am so hard to please. But I'm working on that. I temper my whining. I shouldn't be. There are more people less fortunate than I am. I should be greatful all the time. I have never dreamed to be where I am now. And all my dreams had fall into places. What can I ask for? I got one when God showered the world Mp3 players. Hahaha. Seriously, I have a lovely family and relatives. I have very very good friends. Material things matter less to me now. And I am continuously working on that aspect.
