Going For Frivolous

I need a little perspective and I SHOULD be doing the nine things that bring you joy prompt, but yesterday afternoon I got an upsetting email from my BFF up north. Her husband, who happens to be The Boy's godfather, works with the mother of one of the victims of the Sandy Hook Massacre.  When I said I'd know people who know people, I did not expect my "people" to be ones to whom I was so close.  This morning, I just don't have it in my to write about joy.

Instead I'm writing about fashion... because when all else fails, go for the frivolous, right?

I *may* be experiencing the opposite of last year's weight loss, so I'll be lucky if I can squeeze myself into last year's Christmas out fits.  The good thing about traveling every other year is you can wear the same thing two years in a row, because different people get to see it. A girl certainly doesn't want to spend money on new clothes if said clothes are a size bigger!

This year, I will be wearing this on my fingers, because luckily, my fingernails don't get fat! *grins*

I rarely do my nails.  My every day is just too rough on them and the polish never lasts long enough to be worth it, but I do like so splash on a few coats at Christmas.

I looked and looked for the OPI colors in this pin, but with no luck, so I ended up layering one coat of OPI Got a Date Toknight!, a pale pink I already had, under on coat of Essie Marshmallow followed by a top coat of Essie Set in Stones (use sparingly, really) for a very similar effect! I re-did them last night using just the Marshmallow and Set in Stones... go with the pink under layer... it looks prettier!
