Someone had a meeting and had to go to work early so they couldn't take my picture. Then I forgot my tripod. I went with camera balanced on dictionary in cubicle. I kept seeing people coming. My camera fell twice. I liked this outfit though so after 36 pictures of me looking around I just decided to pretend it was a theme. (But I just gave it away now didn't I?)

Today my nails are painted red. It is Kennebunk Port by OPI. Last night my mom and I were talking on twitter. Hello modern technology! and we decided to both paint our nails the same color.
My pop has a few "rules" in life:
Wash your face before dinner.
Put on some rouge before going out.
Keep your shoes shined.
Take off your hat indoors.
Dress for the occasion.
and young ladies don't wear red nail polish!
Of course that always made me want to do it more. But I also like to be good in my pop's eye. He is 83 and grew up in a working class Irish neighborhood of South Boston. He is VERY proud of his heritage and always insisted my cousin and I be too and that we tell people and wear our shamrock necklaces. It makes us look trust worthy. ha. But now in my AHEM 30's I don't think pop would mind if I wore red polish.
Did you have any fashion rules growing up that you still catch yourself now and again thinking about?
and bonus question. Hey I have an audience why not use them!
I am looking for new ways to style my hair and I am open to suggestions. Please no hair cut suggestions. Just ways of styling. I am not going to cut it but the flat everyday is getting a bit boring.
Edited to add. My mom just posted her red nails on twitter so I totally ganked it so you could see.
