Midlife Musings

Reflections on life from 40-something

From my head to my toes

December30

Lately, I have decided I like being a wee bit taller. Apparently, I have a more “confident stride”. And also, women scowl and men snap their necks as I walk by, though I doubt the veracity of that latter bit. Anyway, I’ve begun to wear heels more often. As in daily. Sometimes with cute socks, instead of knee highs. Even with jeans. I thought you might get a kick out of today’s look:

And this weekend, I read Bobbi Brown’s Make-up Manual. I’ve also decided that once I can leave my husband for more than hours, I am going to treat myself to a makeover at the mall. Because… I can. She recommends doing that now and again to learn about new products and techniques. I did my makeup today as she recommends, or at least as close as I can remember, having returned the book to the library yesterday. It’s the first time I have actually lined all the way around my eyes. Whaddya think?

    Love the eyes! Lining all the way around makes a big difference I have found, even if you don’t do shadow.

    Cute shoes! I used to be known for wearing high heels all the time. No matter where I was going or what I was doing. In the past few years, I’ve completely switched over to flats. Guess I’ve just turned into a fuddy duddy as I’ve gotten older. Haha.

I'm Cass. I am a full-time mom to eight great children, a Christian and a blogger. I'm also a knitter, a reader and a movie watcher. And a collector of eclectic oddities.

For the first time in 18 and a half years, I have my own little corner again. Somewhere along the way, I seem to have lost myself, and now that I realize I'm missing, I'm on the look out for me. You maybe don't know what that means, but then again, maybe you do. Regardless, this is where I'll be when I'm not being a mother or a knitter. This is where I'll be just me. And if no one ever reads it, that's ok. I'll know it's here.
