Things I suck at: Looking clean

Today I was privileged enough to be invited to see Giselle by the RNZB free of charge with my boyfriend and his family. This is fabulous to the highest degree, and the show was off duh chain. Except I don't actually know anything about ballet so don't hold me to that. However, everyone who actually knew their shit about ballet seemed to like it. It was the last night tonight anyway so there's no point in telling you to go, but yeah.
Sam's family has very much introduced me to a world I'm not quite sure about, but I'm doing my best. For example, I have no fucking clue what to wear to a ballet. My keyword I used as a starting point was "clean", which if you have read this blog previously, you will know this is not my strong suit by any means.
I am disappointed to say that I did not really at all achieve my keyword in any area.
I am pleased to say that Sam's mum and grandma said I looked nice anyway.
S-s-s-s-score.

I have found that the eyebrows and the bun work wonders if you  are trying to distract your companions from the rest of your face and your attire. The eyebrows especially make you look much more interesting than you actually are, especially if you get pencil shavings in them, from a poorly sharpened eye pencil.

I also haven't worn this lipstick in aaaaages, it's airborne unicorn by Lime Crime and aaah yeah I'm feeling the unicorn vibes.

You can probably spy out some Jeffrey Campbell skates as well, assuming you can use your eyes. Again, I haven't worn these in aaaages. So long, in fact, that when I pulled them out of my wardrobe the other day, they were coated in a nice green mould. 

Pleasing.

P.S. I did, in fact, make the dress I'm wearing, this is a fabrics blog after all.

P.P.S. Other things I suck at: having a camera and taking decent pictures with it. I'll sort it out one day.

P.P.P.S. I say I will, but I most likely won't.

P.P.P.P.S. Extra for experts: leave your eyebrows on overnight. They look their very best when they've been smudged right up your forehead by your pillow while you sleep.

XOXO
