Yours Truly

The Party Part 1

After I made it home from the gym, I showered and called Alicia to let her know I was on my way. As I was driving I kept replaying the weird encounter that I had. Her face didn't look familiar at all. I had not been in any altercations with anyone and I most definitely wasn't checking for anyone's man. I was enjoying being single and not entertaining anybody. I wasn't interested in anyone. Love wasn't on my radar and I wasn't budging. I made a mental note to tell Alicia what happened tonight.

I made it to the store and we started shopping. We didn't have much time because we both got caught up in a little bit of traffic.

Me: So what style are you going for?

Alicia: I don't know. Uummm maybe a simple 2 piece fit with big accessories and some cute shoes with a pop of color

Me: Hmm, that'll be cute. Ugh! Come on do I have to go? I want to stay home. You know I don't like people

Alicia: Uhnt uh I don't want to hear it. Since that last relationship, you've been like a hermit. You can still go out and have fun

Me: But—

Alicia: NOPE! I didn't say you had to fall in love. Just come and hang out

I huffed and puffed because I really did not want to go. I lazily looked through the dress rack and came across a dress that was right for the occasion. I already knew my size in this store so I just grabbed it. I picked out my accessories and waited for Alicia to get her accessories as well.

Me: Fine then but after this, don't ask me to go to any other party. Parties are ghetto now because people don't know how to behave

Alicia: You're going to be surprised because it's not even the type of party you're thinking. Trust me, you'll see

Me: Uh huh whatever you say bestie

We checked out and quickly walked outside because we were running a little behind. We still had traffic to get through. At first we were going to ride to the party together but Alicia had other plans with her man after the party. That was no issue with me because I had planned to leave early. I was only going because she begged me too. She didn't say how long though 👀. She'll forgive me later.😂

Finally, I made it home. Even though I wasn't in the mood for a party, I still took my time to get ready. I had my wax session 2 days ago so that was one less thing to worry about. I showered and then sat at my vanity to apply light makeup. Whenever I wore makeup, I kept it light because I still wanted to look like me and I loved showing my freckles.

I started with a dime size amount of primer and blended it all over my face. Next I put about 5 to 6 dots of my MAC foundation all over and I blended that in as well. MAC is the only foundation that doesn't break my face out. I then applied my concealer, highlighter and filled in my brows. My lashes were already done. The last thing I applied was a brown lip liner with clear lipgloss on top. Simple.

After I finished my make up, I grabbed my bodycon dress. It was plain but super cute because of its color: burnt orange. I personally loved yellow and burnt orange against my skin tone. I put on my gold hoops, gold necklace and my coach watch which had a gold face with a tan wrist band. After I put on all of my accessories, I grabbed my my clear heels and clear clutch as my purse of the night.

I kept my hairstyle simple. I decided to wear my natural locks out. I pushed my locks over to the left, making a deep side part on the right. I added a couple of bobby-pins so that it would stay to the left. My locks were already wavy from them being braided a few days ago. My locks were bra strap length which was the perfect length for the look I was going for. I put my shoes on and then walked over to my big mirror to see my entire look.
