You ever go through one of those indecisive periods when every decision you have to make is…extremely difficult? When I do, these episodes can last days, weeks, sometimes months. I’m experiencing one of these spells right meow, and it’s manifesting in multiple ways. Like, I’m currently transitioning all of my shoes to flats (no more heels for this girl), and I couldn’t decide between the Crocs Brooklyn Wedges and the Ugg Kari Sandals, so I ended up buying both. WHOOPS! In my shoe defense, both colors are basic and useful so I know I’ll wear them a lot. (At least that’s what I keep telling myself, hahaha!)
The white soles on the Uggs are makin’ me a little nervous because I can just see myself getting aggravated with every little speck of dirt, but a friend recommended trying a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to keep ’em looking fresh and clean. We’ll see!
Oh, and it just occurred to me right this second that these kinda look like the slippers that Filipino moms/aunties/grandmas threaten to spank you with when you start acting up, OMG!
If I had a dollar for every time someone threatened to palo me with their tsinelas, hahaha!
Can we talk about how the element of indecision has also crept into my lipstick life?! I originally paired these eyes (coffee winged liner and bronzed lids, which I’m feeling!) with a matte coral because a coral lip is so springy…
But I also like how a matte taupe-brown lipstick looks with it too, because it has a slight late ’90s vibe.
Which one do you prefer? The coral or the brown?

P.S. TGIF!!!! ?
This is a gorgeous look! I’m partial to the coral lip.
Thanks, Chelsea. I’m spending a lot of time with some old-school NARS eyeshadow faves and they’ve been inspiring me a lot.
BTW I’m making a shopping list for Ulta (a new one opened up in my town) and of course I had to add our favorite Clinique Pretty Easy Liner!
It’s the best! So easy to use.
I’m getting a 1970s vibe with your hair and I love it! Love the eye with the coral lip as well. Ok and I love those Uggs! I went straight to the DSW website (I have a 20% off coupon) but my size is sold out. Best for my wallet right now.
Hope you’re feeling ok and taking care of yourself today. Got my 2nd shot Tuesday. Woohoo!
Hi Megan,
Thanks for noticing the hair, I was going for a ’70s look! I hope you can snag the sandals soon because they’re super comfy.
How are you feeling today? I hope your body has recovered.
Thanks, Karen. I feel great today! I had my 2nd shot Tuesday morning and overnight Tuesday into early Wednesday I felt feverish, achy and fatigued. But by early afternoon Wednesday I was feeling pretty good. All worth it.
All the looks in this post are great, its all good -hair, make-up, tats even the band-aid!
Liking those crocs too
Love both of the shoes! Good choices.
I love this look, particularly the eyeshadow. Need to dig through my stash and see if I have those shadows. That’s the problem with doing major clear outs, sometimes you lose stuff.
I love the coral lipstick. It brightens your face and makes you look like you just got back from a tropical vacation.
I love those Ugg sandals! Maybe mask the rest of the shoe off and spray the white with Scotch-Guard? I would test it in a small area first though. Lol. I know, I know, conflicting info.
I love your carefree, effortless sexy lo0k. And your hair is gorgeous! As for those Ugg sandals, last year I bought them in three colors! Comfortable and so easy to just slip on and go.
I have been checking out my old NARS eyeshadows as well. Another trick for white soles on shoes is to wipe them down with baby wipes. I have several sneakers and sandals with white soles and also was nervous when I first bought a pair but now it is no stress. I do like both colours on your lips. Great look.
Loving all the tattoos! Is the band-aid from your vaccine shot?
I like the taupe lipstick best.
Both those shoes look awesome! I’d like to know how their comfort is?
Hey Karen,
You look so great here! Really gorgeous.
