Hubby and I went out to dinner last night so I got dressed up! I don't get the chance to dress up very often on island since the vibe here is pretty casual. And even though we went to a nice restaurant, I was appauled at the number of wife beaters, torn jeans and Harley Davidson t-shirts! I'm sorry, but dressing in beach gear is not appropriate in a lovely sit-down restaurant, even on an island.

I wasn't particularly thrilled with this outfit on me. Maybe if I were 50 pounds lighter and had those chiseled skinny arms that celebrities have, I'd love it! But I think the horizontal stripes made me look a little chesty and my arms look huge... However, from the waste down, I love this look, so I think I'm going to continue experimenting with this skirt to see how I can work it cause I love the skirt and I've had it now for 2 years, only wearing it this one time! I think I'm also going to start doing push-ups and maybe go back to the gym for cardio and some weights!

Here's a close-up of my earrings and red lipstick. I love this lipstick! It's Nars "Red Lizard."

  3. I like this nautical look with the full skirt. It's trendy, yet it doesn't look like everyone else :)
