What I Wore Wednesday: Outfit Remix

What a difference a week makes! The bug has been banished from our house (fingers crossed) and things are headed back to normal. Most importantly my hair is less horrible as I got my hair did on Valentine's Day! My hairdresser gave me a hard time as it's been over 4 months since I last saw her and my hair was unintentionally ombre or if you want to be mean about it my roots were wicked awful. I just got more highlights, a few inches off and some long layers but I think it's made a big difference and my hair looks a lot thicker and healthier.

NotBlondeHusband had to work Valentine's Day night so I didn't get to flick my new locks about then but we did have a belated Valentine's Day dinner out on Saturday. While I'm feeling much better about my hair I'm still feeling a bit meh about my body if I'm honest. I had one of those "I have nothing to wear" moments even though I have two dressers, a closet and several suitcases full of clothes---we've all been there right?

We were short on time so I didn't get to hum and haw about what to wear so I went with the first thing I tried on which was a re-mix of a few outfits I've worn recently:


Black Asymmetric Shoulder Stud Top-River Island
Old Navy The Flirt Skinny Jeans
Black Folded Chain Trimmed Ankle Boots-New Look
Spike Cluster Earrings-New Look

So you can see my hair is still long but not too scraggly! I also got a gel manicure almost two weeks ago with a black polish and silver glitter overlay. I am loving it and it hasn't chipped at all yet which for me is great value for money.

I've been in a bit of funk lately--I don't know if it is everyone planning summer holidays (we still don't have our passports back from the UKBA so we can't travel abroad) or that I've put back on the weight I lost last fall but I'm just meh. I normally find that getting my nails and hair done help me feel a bit more like me again but I still haven't quite shaken it. What do you do when you are feeling a bit blah about yourself?

    I get that meh feeling often. If I can't shift it with a hair do & nails, I add in a nice bath, face mask and some girly time :) xx

    A hair cut always makes me feel like a new person...or buying a new outfit. I'm not planning any summer vacations, but I am planning for the boyfriend's parents to come over from Scotland...and I am freaking out. I feel like we have to cram all the awesome-ness of the NY-NJ area into just 10 days...plus my birthday (haha).

    Sadly when I'm feeling blah I tend to eat which makes the whole situation worse. In the winter I am much more likely to get into a funk. It's just depressing.


    I love the idea of a haircut and manicure though. Seems those gel things might be the best for me since normally a manicure lasts all of 5 minutes on me.


    I do love your off the shoulder piece. Very sexy.

    First off re-mixing is where it is at! Your super cute outfit pretty much proves that point.


    Glad to hear you are all feeling better! The winter blahs are tough for me too. My first inclination is always cupcakes. Baking and then eating. But I know that will make me feel worse. So lately I have been coming up with projects to try and beat the blues. Usually kid involved ones because while I might lose interest,my youngest never will. My house is currently filled with origami and paper monsters. And water colors. I have a very well decorated office.

    Your gel mani sounds amazing! Two weeks and no chips? That's hardly fathomable...
    As for feeling better - having a nice date night with my man and a bottle of wine usually does the trick. That and laughing. Laughing is the absolute best :)

    We have the same problem, we can't travel because my passport just got expired. grrr! And flying to another state just to get it renewed is just another unwanted expenses. I like your top btw, never dared to wear one of those in my lifetime. Maybe it's about time. huh? :)

    I remember that feeling well! NBH's parents came and visited us in DC when we lived there and then we road tripped to the OuterBanks, too. You'll be fine!

    Gel manicures are the best! Just be sure to rub almond oil into them each night so they don't dry out and your real nails don't get yucky.

    Love it! I need to do more crafty stuff with Blondie Boy; working from home means I try to juggle work and him and fun times seem to go few and far between.

    Nope coz Philippine Passports should be applied in person for biometrics and all that at the Phil Embassy or consulate. And the office that covers my state jurisdiction is a plane away from me.. Its really stupid, I'm still irritated everytime I think of it. :/

    You look lovely and gorgeous hair! If I told you how long it was since I had my hair done you would never believe it (well you would if you looked closely!) I really want to go for the chop to a bob but my daughter is devastated at the idea! That manicure sounds fab too :)
