Magenta Plum.

Hello All. How was your Thanksgiving? What did you cook? What did you eat? What comfy outfit did you wear? Are you planning on shopping today for Black Friday? Well, I spent most of the day at work and many restless hours in front of the computer working on titles, ISBN-s, New Books' Lists, etc. I think the many hours logged in, in front of a computer caused my headache on Wednesday night which started around 7.30 PM until about 2.00 AM. And it was a really bad, heavy headache, it was brutal. =( Due to this being Albania's 100 year of Independence (it is next week on November 28th) and since there was the Annual, National, Largest Albanian Book Fair (last week), we have been bombarded with a ton of new titles and lots of new books, lately. They have kept all of us busy, especially me, since I am the one that enters and registers them into the computer.

This is an outfit I wore to a TV show regarding the Book Fair and Books in general. I kept things simple with my comfortable Maternity Black Pencil Skirt and a Long, Loose, Silky Blouse. My only accessory was tiny silver hoops with sparkly quadrangle silver stones. But I think the Leopard flats added some oomph to this simple but elegant outfit. =) Clearly the makeup in these photos was done professionally (behind the studio). For all of you who know me well by now, I am no makeup guru. LOL They did a really good job though, so simple and so pretty and it went well with my outfit. I loved my eye lids and my lips. I titled today's post "Magenta Plum" for two reasons: 1) the color of my blouse and lipstick which is Magenta and 2) because I was called "A Plum" as a compliment, from my husband, that day. Cute, hmm?! =)
