Wardrobe Wednesday: Red Lips

let me first prepare you
for the lipstick
in the following photos.

yes.
lipstick.
red.

here's the story:

went for a hair trim,
and 3 inches later
came home with
a hair cut.

needless to say,
slapped on some
red lipstick
in hopes to distract
my audience.

hence, the red lips.

trying to bring out
my inner
'conchita'.

ai, ai, ai.

did
'project red lips'
succeed?

Denim: Gap, Sweater: H&M,
Stripped Shirt: Targie,

tell me how you
recover from
hair cut, gone wrong...

would love to know.

DIY gone wrong...very wrong

See those adore

white
lacquer
chotchkies?

Yeah, those.
On top of the mantel.

Much like this pair of white vases
atop this sleek, smooth white sofa table?

You see,
these started out as my original inspiration.

I was thinking
Johnathan Adler
meets Nate Berkus.

As always,
thinking of ways to cut costs,
I pulled out my always-on-hand
can of spray paint and pulled my
fav accessories for a little
home decor color
spruce me up.

I just wanted a quick little face lift to
my already
fond-of pieces.

Easy, you would think.

Not so fast, my friend.

Little did I know,
that freezing cold conditions out here in DC-land
is not kind to any spray paint project at the moment.

After the fact, I realized that
under 50 degrees is not an ideal temperature to be
spray painting in your garage in between
segments of Access Hollywood.

I know.
I should have know.

Only problema I have now,
what to do?

Check out my dilemma.



So much wrong with this picture:
paint not even,
paint not thorough,
looks horrible, awful, icky, bad,
blah,
blah,
blah.

The optimist in me leads me to my next question:
Where is my lemonade in this?

Taking suggestions.
Be gentle.
