Cobalt Blue

I've been looking for a sheer maxi skirt and of course, Target to the rescue! I've also ordered it in black. They are only $17 right now! I love maxis but I often find I get too hot so this light version is great. I wore this to a 31 Party; met some new ladies. I can't say ladies without thinking of that Dmitri Martin joke. haha But yeah, had fun!  I'm definitely extra thankful for friend right now. I had my closest friends move away so I've been trying to meet more people. With my husband gone so much right now and deploying soon, friends are a must!  

Target top, skirt

 My hair has grown so much already! Gah!

Birthday Party

I wore this to a friend's house for a (adult) birthday party over the weekend. New blouse from Target (can't find it online but it is in store). It has little animals on it! Giraffes, big cats, rhinos...  cute! I own quite a few sheer blouses at this point but hey, I wear and love them all.  I've been making a point to wear these pants a lot lately as I know it'll be too warm in a few months.

For my makeup I did a dark gold smokey eye with winged eyeliner and a nude lip. I'm wearing Physician's Formula Organic Wear tinted moisturizer with just a bit of Tarte Amazonion Clay Foundation over top. I applied the second on mostly in the center of my face and blended out.  It gives a ton of coverage and applying only a bit keeps it looking more light and natural. 

Tribal

Well, this weekend was interesting! On Saturday afternoon, I was opening a mature brown coconut and while removing the peel with a knife my hand slipped, slicing my thumb open. I'd never cut myself so badly! My husband was at the gym (ju jitsu) and left his phone in the car so I had to get a friend to drive over there (I don't drive) and tell him to come get me so we could go to the hospital. haha It didn't bleed for long but I was in a ton of pain! I guess I was in shock at first because I thought I was going to pass out. Anyway, we went to the ER and they eventually wrapped it up...then after FIVE HOURS of waiting (and I was on the "fast track"!) I was finally seen. I got two stitches! It was really painful (at least the prep + numbing, not the actual stitches) and I was happy I had my husband's hand to hold, haha.  I'd never been to the ER or had stitches before though.  Anyway, I just have to take care of the stitches/wound for the next week or so until I get the stitches out. The pain isn't too bad now as long as I don't use/bend my thumb at all...which is annoying.  We did go to a party (and to watch UFC) at a friends place afterwards because I figured we should go have fun after 5 hours of sitting in a waiting room lol And we had a ton of fun! On Sunday we ran errands and then had a nice dinner at BJs. So at least we ended the weekend on a good note!

Got the coconut water/milk

Got it open and removed almost all of the pulp (I was not using that big knife to remove the pulp, it was a smaller serrated one)

after the ER visit with my stitches

 Yeah, from now on I'll stick with young fresh coconuts....much easier to de-pulp. :/

I haven't been doing as much freehand nail art lately so I decided to do some tribal nails. They are far from perfect but I kind of like the imperfections. This is before my lil accident lol

 I picked up this blouse at Closet for around $13 before meeting a friend for lunch a couple weeks ago. I love it! I'm a sucker for anything sheer as well as a collar. I like the black accents, long sleeves and the trapeze fit.
