Before
After
The dress came from Target yesterday… Merona Notch Collar Split-Neck Dress – $24.99. Pull the sleeves up to make more of a Puff-sleeve, tie a little tighter around the waist… and I have to say the dress is MUCH cuter on the body than on the hanger. Add a big bracelet and a pair of designer shoes and no one will ever know you are wearing a dress that cost you less than lunch at the Bistro. I received a load of compliments last night… even from a lady in Diane Von Furstenberg… “Grrreat dress, where did you get it?”
Since it’s not quite warm enough for me to wear sandals and I’m in need of a new pair of peep toes… For shoes, I went with an old stand-by.
Cole Haan Nike Air *Fiona High Air Pump Blk

As for the Make-up… I’m not very good in this department. I just find what works for ME and I go with it. I focus on my eyes and color on my lips is a must.
Nails… manicured while in Chicago and polished with Essie Nail Polish – Real Simple
