Today would have been Grammie's 89th birthday and it needed celebrated with good eats, sissy hugs, and dreaming of the wonderful, kind, and vivacious woman that she was {okay, I spent half the morning ugly-crying, but that's beside the point}.
Eyebrows freshly plucked; pores duly unclogged, extracted, primped; old nail polish removed; YouTube videos on makeup technique watched and absorbed; newly gained skills put to the test.
Bright, sunny day as Grammie's spirit lives on, making today especially vivid for her birthday.
I opted for curls on curls and my new Shop Priceless crop top paired with my never-fail ultra-high AE jeggings. Incredible: it's December and nearly warm enough to go without a jacket....nearly.
Found these lovely boots at the thrift store down the street and I've been relying on them heavily to complete my {hopefully} BA outfits.
The end results: little loop curled into the wild curls, falsies {the last time I attempted these was senior year of high school, and Lovely had to apply for me}, eyeshadow {something I've avoided until today}, Star Wars lippy...
Quite pleased with the results.
While I did not really have anywhere I needed to go, I put this look to the test with my errands and a visit to see my Nana later that night.
Sister date warranted the Dragonite tee, so a swift change was in order! A stay-in night with pizza, beer bread, questionable&slightly burnt brownie bites, and Cranberry blush wine. Can't complain.
Grammie would always offer us good noms and Pap Pap would let us taste his wine, so in a way, we're kicking off her birthday shin-dig in a way she would have definitely approved ^_^
i carry your heart
i carry it in my heart
Happy birthday, Grammie. I miss you. I love you. I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places.
