Girlie Girl

If you know me at all I am the kind of girl that kicks back in a t.shirt, jeans and converse. I've never been the girl that goes all out on myself on a daily basis. I do enjoying dressing up every now and then from time to time. And I use to do it a bit more back in my City Walk days. But now I find it stressful. First off I don't have any dressy clothes. I have one pair of nice heels (which I noticed are going to need to be replaced soon) and I've never been one to wear alot of make-up.

Well yesterday was Brad's granny's 75th birthday party and I needed to look nice. You know jeans a nice shirt and heels. Well I went to the mall and looked around and I couldn't find anything that fit the picture that was in my head. And mind you Brad's sister is a total girlie girl. Heels everyday, make-up and she knows how to accessorize, I on the other hand can not. And girls you know how it is you have to not compete but well I can't think of a better word. Its not that I feel threatened but you know you just don't wanna be the frumpy one - does that makes sense? I think its an inner girl thing. ANYWAYS.... so I ended up going to target and finding a shirt I had my eye on and I get it - even though its not what I remembered it looking like - but I had no choice time was ticking down I had to get home and start getting ready. I find these kind of events to be VERY stressful and I go through this every holiday or little family event that we attend. And the last couple of times I just didn't care and sported my converse and jeans. So yesterday Brad's mom even said how I looked really nice and how that I'm usually a tomboy. Which I am, always have been. I was the girl in the trees, riding bikes in the creek, picking up frogs and turtles and caterpillars as a child growing up. My mother does not wear make-up so I never had anyone teach me I had to learn out of Seventeen and YM magazines on how to apply eye shadow.

So Here is me trying to be a girlie girl...
