Putting Your Best Foot Forward
When I put on a pair of shoes that I love, it can tip my whole outfit. My posture is lifted and so is my attitude. And conversely, with a bad hair day (like today), no accessory can make it work. What’s the bottom line for what makes you feel put together? (Clothing optional.)

Painted fingers and toes!
Especially in summer. And I’m overdue!
Earrings! I feel so naked without them. Since I wear scrubs all day, they allow me some outlet for self-expression.
SM, do you change it up, or wear the same earrings every day?
Earrings for me, too. I have very short hair and for some reason feel too boyish without them.
In summer I’m involved in sport so I stick to simple hoops during the week, but I switch it up on nights out, weekends, and during winter.
My earring collection is limited but important, and with the exception of ballet class, I hardly go without them.
Good hair! And that’s a bit of a random thing, unfortunately. And glowing skin (doesn’t always happen)–no too oily, not too dry, not too “made up” looking. I can pull off ANY outfit then!
I’m about to pick up a cool new pair of eyeglasses. I’m thinking they might be a good boost.
Lipliner and lipstick – makes all the difference!
I get new lipstick every season. It’s a cheap thrill.
When the hair is right, I’m ready for anything. Oh, and the red heels
are always a boost.
Wendy, I definitely change them up! Depending on my mood, sometimes it’s pearls, or colors, or simply just small studs. It’s fun and a great way for self-expression!
