London Munch

Tonight was the London Munch and in my effort to be more social active, I went!

I almost didn't, I felt a little headachey and a little tired!! But after realizing I was making excuses I rushed to get ready and have a bite to eat before I left! Luckily I live close to the station that almost drops me off on the doorstep of the munch!

Not really sure what to say!

OK, wardrobe choice first! I was going to wear a red knee length evening dress but changed my mind for some unknown reason! Went with a red blouse and a knee length leather skirt, could almost be called a pencil skirt. I like pencil skirts. They narrow my gait and give my stride a more feminine fall! On top of that neutral skin colour stockings and a pair of heels! Heels are something I am going to have to master! I know not all ladies wear heels and I know in this day and age they aren't a requirement to being a lady. But I feel that I should at least make an attempt to wear them! I'm not doing too bad in the walking front. It requires a little more finesse. No, the problem lies in the endurance and how they ache the feet after a while. Need to do a bit more walking about in the heels I've got! My feet don't actually feel too bad right now, so I must be doing something right! Anyway, that was fashion choices.

My other new thing is improving my make-up!
Usual foundation technique, layer of tinted moisturiser then the Ben Nye concealer topped off with the Avon Ivory foundation and ivory powder foundation!! Getting really good at it now!! And I was rushing too!! The big thing for me is eye make-up. I'm still learning this! Decided tonight to use a new palette I bought with Miss the other day. Went with black!! Usually steer clear of black, always afraid I'd end up panda bearing myself. But it was subtle, I think! I topped this with a silver shimmer that I have lying around!! Don't think I did a bad job! Finished off the eyes with mascara! Liking the mascara but I wonder do all women pull silly faces when applying it!

I felt good, I thought I looked OK and off to the munch I went! Long story short here. Stayed a bit, had a glass of red wine, spoke to some old friends, left! Didn't stay long, maybe a couple of hours. The London Munch is held in a cellar bar and can get quite crowded! Still have issues with crowds that don't move! Crowds that flow like in clubs or shopping centres I'm fine with. But an inner part of me still dislikes that stationary crowd effect! Maybe if I had been with someone, gone with someone, it would have been different or if I had got there earlier and found a comfy corner seat out of the way! Perhaps!!

Also noticed that in a pencil skirt and heels distances seem to double when you walk any where!!

It was a good night, even if it was brief. I will try to make it regular, hopefully!
