It’s not really an outfit, but it’s an idea…and if you’re observant, you’ll see that I have color on my lips. That is one of my goals for this year: to try to get comfortable with wearing color on my lips. For most situations, I’ll probably keep them relatively bare, or at least more subtle, but over the weekend I started to experiment a little, and looking at this picture, I think I could get used to the look – for night time anyway. Baby steps!!
I had a wonderful birthday saturday, my husband and I went to see Ender’s Game at a super-fancy movie theater here that has large lounge chairs with blankets and serves twizzlers in a glass. I could totally get used to seeing movies like that all the time, but it’s a bit expensive for that! I think saving it for a special occasion is good enough 🙂
Then we went to dinner with some friends at a new restaurant here, No Va, which was wonderful. And I didn’t work at ALL all weekend. Then this morning after Pure Barre I met a friend for coffee. So, I’m easing into 41 😉 And I can’t wait for the adventure that is the year ahead. Thank you all for being here to take it with me!
Hi Grechen! Your photo is gorgeous, and the rosy tones on your lips are fabulous! I love a bit of color at times, too! (I struggle with this and love the Bobbi Brown nude look, but get the same feedback when I have a little more color, too!) It is very pretty and extremely nice and classy on you! A great look when you want to! Glad your birthday was terrific!
Continued success and have a wonderful year ahead. I enjoy your blog so much!
Kim
thank you kim! i always get compliments when i wear lip color – or any color! – but i feel so uncomfortable in it usually. but practice makes perfect…perhaps i’ll get used to it if i just make myself keep trying 🙂
Happy Birthday! You look fabulous and so happy in that picture!

thank you lisa – i had a wonderful birthday/weekend.
Happy birthday! Lovely hair, makeup, and jacket – more important, of course, is that you look very happy.
You look lovely. It’s good to see a pic of you with your husband, too. I’m glad that you had a nice celebration. Here’s to your 41st year!
Happy Belated!! I hope this is a fabulous year for you. You’re starting it off perfectly with lip color. Yay for color! 🙂
thank you!
Happy belated Birthday, Grechen! (I don’t know where my head has been 😉 ) You look GREAT and I love the lipcolor on you! You look so put-together in it and the jacket is also perfect with your new hair/colors. You and Leo make a great looking couple. Glad you had such a nice weekend!
I think you’re right, Grechen: If you’re not used to seeing yourself in color (On your lips – don’t worry, I’m not suggesting it in your clothes!! 😉 ), it takes time for your “eye” to get used to it. Love that you’re trying it!
