Day 24, 25, 26.

 Before I get into the usual beauty blog stuff, I just wanted to say thank you for the THOUSANDS of hits on my last post. Seriously, it was incredible how many people read and reposted it. Out of 16,000 view, 6,000 were that one post. What?? I lead a sad, sad blog. I will try to write more inspirational stuff every now and again because I do believe in inner beauty as well as outer presentation. It is a total bummer when I meet a really cute person who is super rude. You give pretty people every where a bad name man! Represent. Plus, everyone needs a little pick me up story once in a while. 

Disclosure on the pictures! I forgot to take pictures while I was wearing the outfits so I just laid them out and snapped a couple of low quality pics real fast on my wrinkled sheets. So please forgive me! I know its a lame excuse but I did just have surgery and four root canals this week. And just as a side note, root canals ROCK. I love them. The only thing that sucks (at least for me) is the shots before it. Otherwise you can't feel anything and all the excruciating pain you experienced before the root canal? Completely gone. It is the greatest feeling in the world. I am so grateful for technology and nice dentists/assistants. P.S. for those of you who don't know what root canals are, all they do it take out the nerve in your tooth. Good bye sensitivity! Adios pain from infection! If I had known what it was earlier, I would have done it years ago. It literally kills your tooth so it will turn brown/black later down the road, so if that is a concern, get it capped. And always talk with your doctor.

Lately in my town, it has been rather hot and a bit windy. I did not have to work for a couple days this week so I got to wear some of my leisure pieces. AKA the 'I don't have to worry about looking unprofessional at work' stuff in the back of my closet. It makes me sad because I never get to wear these things due to my insane work schedule. But to the left is a chevron print black and gold dress which I got on clearance at Forever 21. (I think.) All I remember is that it was less than $10 and makes my body look awesome. The material is a sort of crocheted overlay with a black jersey underneath so it is great for keeping cool and easy to wash. It does like to catch on doggy claws though so be careful around animals! And keys. And hang nails. Basically you want to avoid anything that can catch on it and rip it. And to be a little more modest, throw a jacket/shawl/ cover up thing on it with a belt.

 This next outfit is one of my new favorites. I love the versatility. I wear it in the winter with black tights and a leather jacket. In the summer I leave it just like this. Sorry the picture quality is so awful. But basically, lace form fitting pencil skirt with a v neck and tank top paired with a belt and statement shoes. I love these shoes. They are so comfy! They are like 4.5 inch and have a giant bow on the side. Oh and did I mention they are so easy to walk in? The belt and shirt were free, the skirt was clearance and the shoes were bought for a wedding. And the tank was like $5 from Wet Seal. Definitely hit that store up for tank tops and stretchy v necks. They always have sales and they are long tops! And if you are tall and skinny, they make jeans for you that don't cost an arm and your first born! :)

So by this point, I was getting tired of picture taking. I totally forgot to take a picture of my necklace that went with it so imagine with me as I paint a mental picture of it to you using my excellent vocabulary. The necklace has multiple clear strings with tiny, gold beads on them. The strings get longer toward the bottoms so it is almost bib shaped. I swear it looks way better than I can describe. And it really echos the metal tones on the shoes nicely and adds a little edge to the blazer. I paired it with jeans and a black v neck. The shoes were free. Blazer was $17 ish. Overall, not an expensive outfit.

So I have asked before, but I've not had a great response on it, what do you like/don't like about my blog? What do you want to see more of? What do you want me to write about? Feedback is excellent. You can write it on my blog's Facebook page or friend me and tell me. You can email me at mikafredrick@yahoo.com or mikascott13@yahoo.com :) Thanks!

Love, Mika.
