Behold, the awful truth of my experiment:
Oh hai, thighs! And a preggy-belly to boot (ha.) *Shudder.*
Lesson learned, cover dem thighs when you wear leggings. I'm not pregnant, for the record, but holy crap it looks like I am well into my first trimester. Eek. I promise to never wear this combination again, unless I want to dress up as a character from Flashdance for Halloween.
A late winter pick-me-up
I'm probably not the only one feeling very white and pale by now, it being late winter and all. I especially notice that when my face is really white, like now, then combined with being stressed out or not getting enough sleep, it's really bad. On to my favorite winter pick-me-up: Bronzer!
Bronzer in "Riviera" and Blush Brush No. 49, both from Sephora
Thazright, I like to do it Mediterranean-style.
Thank you , Bronzer, for giving me a mid-winter tan on my cheekbones. I put some blush on my cheeks, and use the same brush to dust some bronzer along my cheekbones and the sides of my face. Ta-da! An instant mini-tan to combat the late-winter blues.
Sorry I am posting such frightening photos today... Is anyone still reading? ;)
Monstercheek, eep! But you can see, the bronzer is pretty subtle but still makes a difference by adding more depth of color than a blusher alone could.
What's your favorite method of combating winter paleness of the face?

Well, I think you look terrific in those photos! Whatchu-talkin-bout?
It is true that photos do expose The Real Truth of an outfit. Part of the reason I like doing outfit shots for my blog too.
Keepin' it real: hehe!
My skintone is very in keeping with my "Black Irish" roots: SUPER pale skin+ almost black hair. Bronzer looks retarded on me.
BUT I do swear by Clinique's Even Better foundation. It makes me look a little less frightening!
I'm with you on the bronzer. pale skin and red hair=paleness YEAR ROUND! I love bobbi brown's bronzer and do a few swipes aross the face every morning.
I'm with DBP, I think you look too adorbs for words!
I don't know about you, but I'm ready for warm weather!

Ooh - you look beautiful with your bronzer. I'm too pale for bronzer I think. It makes me look semi-clown.
I know what you mean about IRL pics. I always think I look ok and then when I see a pic think - what the eff? Its the sole reason I don't post OOTDs. I think you, however, look gorgeous in your IRLs!
